NOT QUIT CHURCH
THAT SHE LOVES

By Miss Lura Heath
In Monroe Journal
In. June 1*he Journal printed a let
ter I had written to (he Hull cam- :
pkign manager of North Carolina in
which I stated thai 1 expected to
support the ?rtotiston nominee for
president. I was prompted by Jove oi
the democrat k party and confidence
in their choice to make that .state
ment. though 1 had never been espec-i
ially.'interested m politics." had never?
studied the - it nation, nof taken any
activity on an v occasion Since that
time, however, apd especially since
Ocffc. Smith .has been chosen in the
usual party convention fashion, and
being selected on the tirst ballot over-]
whelminelv., I have felt impelled to
study the present political situation
as I am bpsinuing to realize mil 11!
is not. dnly the privilege of women tq [
vote, but it is their duty to study,
think and decide for themselves and
hpt''take unreservedly the opinion of
others. More than.- ever k it. seems
that we should consider most carefully
the situation of the campaign now
upon us. remembering certain undis
putable facts that should govenl bur
action at the polls.
May I Say here. I am proud to be
allied with i he Union County Execu- .
tive Committee as its vice-chairman
and while I fully realize ray youth in*
things political. I am glad to say
again Just-where I stand, why I am
thfre and I am asking for space for
*p4rit;of antagonism to other people's
views ana i snau .'4V evet yUiiug 'in a
spirit of lovaltv and in a spirit of.
lairhess and justice. T grant everyone

HOPE TO GET CARLOAD
By H. K. Sanders
Time" has come to get organized for 1
the purpose of buying a carload 6f j
registered heifers to he used as foun
dation stock oh about thirty five or:
more farms in this county.
All who. bought last-.spring are well.
pleased with. their heifers, and the
heifers are all growing nicely. We
need about thirty five more to be
brought into the county and placed in
the hands of farmers who like good
cattle... s.
All who. will buy a good foundation
h"ifpr and lake cart' of her and her
ofTiprih? will in a few years navA ft
registered herd that they should be
proud of.
I, A registered cow on the farni makes
the old. (arm the pride of the -family.
The first initial cost of getting start
ra wiiPbe. the biggest cos% ior it dees
not require any more trouble to raise
registered cattle than it does to raise
grade or scrubs. . Of . course all cattle
needs plenty of good pastures and
-feed whether qrad?s. scrubs or pure
breds. -A good farmer with registered
cattle on his farm will naturally
think more of himself.
"The cow is. the foster mother of
the human race. From the day of
?he ancient Hindoo to this time have
the thoughts of men turned to the
! kindlv. beneficent cow as one of the
chWf sustaining forces of human life
"No nation or people 'has become
j high 1 v ctviliypd without her. With--,
out her. agriculture is not i>ermanent
or proyafirouiC j>eople are not Ijealthv
? or hapnv. \Vhpfe the cow is-kept and
_xaxed for, et'-iHmtieYT nd-nnm hnrl"
|'rrow richer, liorries grow better, debts
grow fewer.
r. "In times of famine she has been
man's preserver, his comfort and aid
in tiynes of nrn$n?Tity. the bearer of
I his burdens rnd the cultivator of his
f>"1ds , the' bread winner of th" ix>or?
end the n*lde of the well-to-do."
-will ?av \ha.t I would like to
h?vp a registered he*?*r ^rbut ilip to
hirpo croc? Well this has happened
before with Ihe tobacco farmer the
rotton farmer of the smith-, the - wheat
b*lt of the north and the fruit b?1t
nf the sandhills. Thrre is no better
time to beofn than now. If v e keen

ji?tt)e; ; *
Therr are p lent v rt propseets frn
'll" r,|"ntv if*
carload of heifers at this time, but
certainly there should be at leaat one
brought in, Tf the tobacco crop has
not turned out as you hoped it would.

Where there I$ a will there will be
found a way.
All interested in this project' are
asked to meet at the Courthouse

EVERYTHING IS READY
The Roxboro tobacco market will
open on Tuesday. October 2nd. and
while there has been no bally-hooin#
there will 'doubtless be a large dele
gation of farmers on hand to see
[ Just how the weed Is going to start
oir Well, we can prmoise you it
will be low. for it has been selling* !oj?
on all of the markets, so far. and there
j 'Is no reason why it. should jump up
on the first day here. But. on the
other hand, there is .no reason why it
should sell {6r less here than it has
? been bringing qn the other markets.

het will be. looked after and the buy
V- -and the warehousemen are going
to se? that your tobacco brings just
:n much, in .Roxboro as it will bring
??r: faarkf--. -.tul that is/ au any
,?.r. minded farmer, will want.
There' arc four big warehouses in
Roxboro. and every one of them is
manned' bv* Person County men. men
you have known all of your life, men
nho hrvv*made good in tlu mirfffiouse
biisiness. and they are. here to see
that \ qu get everything t .hat is due
I you. ?" ?;.* "?
. Sell your tobacco at home; and
then if adversity overtakes you. com?
to them for assistance, and we will
bet our last penny they will not dis
appoint you. On the other hand, if
you sell your tobacco, spend your
money, and lend your assistance to
build ud other sections, do vou honest
ly .feel that you could even ask them
to help you if vou should need as
sistance. No. no honest man could
do this, and we believe we have as
larse a per cent of honest men in
