ALL SAY FIFTEEN CENTS.
Others Declare Ccttcn Should be Ware
boused and Held.
Montgomery, Ala. Sept. 15 Five
hundred farmers and as many bank
ers, congressmen, United States
Senators and business men, repre
senting every cotton-growing state,
declares in convention today that
tha farmers' cotton is worth fifteen
cents a pound and resolved that the
rarmer should hold his cotton for
fiat price. The resolution followed
a committee report that the crop in
America would not exceed 12,500,000
bales.
For financing the crop of this year
a resolution was adopted to the ef
fect that the farmer should deposit
his cotton in a warehouse and use
his receipt as collateral until he
could sell, his product at not less
than fifteen cents. There was also
a resolution that the several state
legislatures provide a system of
bonded warehouses.
Declaring that organization among
farmers and co-operation among
them with the bankers and financiers
was the solution of the problem, the
convention resolved itself into a per
manent organization to bp. known as
the Southern Cotton Congress and
adjourned to meet in Atlanta at the
call of the president, E. J. Watson,
commissioner of agriculture of South
Carolina.
The meeting in Montgomery is to
be followed by a similar convention
in every Southern State, to be called j
by the commissioner of agriculture ,
of each state. By these conventions .
the action of the congress is to be
ratified and re-inforced by further ,
steps to
await a better price for
cotton.
Ad Editor's Creed.
Will Robinson, editor of the Ros
well (N. M.) Register-Tribune,
prints hi creed at the head or the
editorial column of his paper as
follows:
"I believe in the stuff I am hand
ing out, in the firm I am working
for: and in my ability to get results.
I believe that honest stuff can be
passed ou to honest men by honest
methods. I believe in working, not
weeping; in boosting not knocking;
and in, the pleasure of my job. I
believe that a man gets what he
goes after, that one deed done to
day is worth two deeds tomorrow,
and that no man is down and out
unless he has lost faith in himself.
I believe in today and the work I
hope to do, and in the sure reward
which the future holds. I believe
in courtesy, in kindness, in generosi
ty, in good cheer, in friendship and
in honest competition. I believe
there is something doing, some
where, for every man ready to do it.
I believe I'm ready right now."

I ALL DRUGGISTS
Slushy Weatber tbe Time for tbe Spit
Log Drag.
Ihere was no use talking about
the virtures of the great split-log
drag while the drought was on, for
nobody would listen. Now that
roads ankle deep in dust have been
replaced with roads half-leg deep in
red mud, perhaps it would not be
unwise to say a few words about
the drag, which is distinctly a wet
weather weapon.
lhe roads are bad now and thev
are going to be worse. It has been
demonstrated time and again in
Davidson county that an inexpen
sive split log drag will make the red
dest, softest road dry and passable
An example of it may be seen on the
Salem road, north of Lexington.
through the farm of Grimes broth
ers, where systematic dragging has
been carried on for many months.
The road is smooth, compact, well
crowned and no water stands on the
surface. The average country road
with a few hours work, would look
as well and with a little systematic
dragging would make as good a
road.
Try it. It will not cost you much.
The drag costs but little and you
can do the work when it is too wet
to plow. Organize a split-log drag
club and drag the road from your
home to the church, to the neigh
borhood store and mill and to the
school house. You will be surpris-
ed at the change it will make in the
life of the neighborhood,
Don't wait until the roads get
hard and dry again. The split-log
drag does not work well in dry
weather. Just as soon as the rain
slacks up a bit, get busy and smooth
out the ruts, crown up the old dirt
roads and begin to enjoy life. It
will pay you. Lexington Dispatch.
Bow to Get Good Boads.
In Mr. J. M. Fairley, Monroe has
a useiui citizen. Kis latest activities
are directed toward the building of
good roads and through The Monroe
Journal he is showing the people of
Union county how to secure good
roads and yet pay no more taxes.
"Mr. Fairley believes that Monroe
township must lead the way on its
own responsibility," says The Jour
nal. "And this township can by the use
of bonds, grade and rock its roads
without increasing the taxes now
being paid. The special road tax
now being paid by this township to
support the chain gang is enough to
pay the yearly interest on bonds
enough to put the roads in modern
shape. If the township would vote
the bonds the chain gang funds
would pay the interest and the pro
ceeds of the sale of the bonds could
be used in hiring contracters to
build the roads and the chain gang
could be hired to the contractor or
take contracts on its own responsi
bility. Thus in a short while we
would have the roads and they
would be costing us no more per
year than it is costing us now to do
without them . If Monroe leads off
this way the other townships, Mr.
Fairley thinks, would soon follow
and issue bonds to improve their
roads to the most convenient mar
kets. There is an old saying that
one cannot eat his cake and still
have it, but it is a well known fact
that a township or a community
can pay over and over for roads and
not get them." We commend Mr.
Fairley's plan not only to Union
county, but to other counties that
are endeavoring to solve the good
roads problem which is really no
problem at all Charlotte Chronicle.
Good Roads Value-Makers.
We note a Mecklenburg farm ad
vertised thus: "Fourteen acres for
$1,300, four miles from court house."
That is nearly $100 an acre, and the
reason is, "on macadiam road."
Some people say they don't want
good roads because it will make
their land go up and they will have
to pay more taxes. The history of
tax assessments in ..counties where
good roads have sent values flying
uDward is that there has been com
paratively little increase in values
for taxation; but even if good roads
aa en inorease values as to make a
man pay more tax, it seems strange
that anybody would turn down a
proposition that would double or
treble or quadruple the worth of
his property. Good roads make farm
lands a whole lot more valuable
than the same lands are worth on
mud roads." Catawba County

THE UNDERWORLD.
But Tbere is Rcpe Because
Crave Ones V. tio Stand.
c! the
The tragedies cf this summer
have been of remarkable frequency
and in many instances have been
most cold blooded and cruel. They
have been, for the most part, the
tugging of the underworld where
the devil sits enthroned. Lust is
rampant. Virture' is discredited
and dishonored. Youth has beer
matched by maturity in this shame
ful debauchery and the sacred mar
riage tie has not i5strained those
who have been lured to the under
world. It is somewhat of a trail tc
the faith of those who believe in the
integrity of the race. The anchor
of the soul to purify and honor
seems to have broken. its hold. But
it only seems so. We are on a wave
of social degeneracy, but we must
not mistake this wave for the depths
of the sea beneath us. The froth
and foam are all we can see but they
are light and powerless. The ocean
rolls on, thank God. Let no man
lose his faith in his felloms because
now ana men one m vvnom he mwi
confidence is dragged into the un-
derworld. For every one who falls
tnere are a thousand who are stand

ing strong and true. But this is a
good time for our pastors to cry
aloud and spare not. Our home life
is threatened but it will not be sub
merged. The Virginia jury who
returned the verdict against Beat-
tie sounded a note of hope to the
world. They are sneered at by
those of the underworld who hate
virture, but they will be honored by
all men who love the right. The
Press has spoken out strongly on
this matter. A rifjhteous public
sentiment has been aroused that is
growing stronger day by day. Our
boys and girls deserve our protect
ion and they will have it. The un
derworld must be kept under.

lampaign Against Hcokivora Disease.
The State and county dispensaries
or the free treatment of hookworm
disease are attracting widespread
attention. Fifteen eastern counties
have made the necessary provision
to have them. In four of these
counties Robeson, Sampson, Co
lumbus and Halifax the work was
completed about three weeks ago,
and an average of 3,000 victims of
the disease were treated in each
county. The counties of Wayne,
Onslow, Cumberland and Northamp
ton now have the dispensaries in
operation. About one hundred peo
ple are being treated daily at each
of the dispensaries. Pender. New
Hanover, Brunswick, Craven, Pitt,
Warren and Hertford counties have
made provision for the dispensaries
and will be entered as soon as possi
ble. Bladen and perhaps two or
three other counties will take acticn
the next first Monday. The dispen
saries remain in a county usually
six weeks. Thegood results of their
work are so apparent that after the
dispensaries move to new fields the
local doctors are kept busy continu
ing the treatment.

Row a Little Road Work Helps.
The road question will grow and
continue to be foremost in the pub
lic mind, in the winter time at least,
until better conditions exist. While
the roads are fairly good we forget
the winter of discontent when the
roads will be in a fearful, wretched
condition,-which every one dreads
so much. A reasonable amount of
work on the roads now would help
wonderfully in the forthcoming
long season of mud and slush. Good
ditches where needed and some
small drain pipes or wooden bridges
or culverts put in wret or low places
where springs and streams have
heretofore flooded the roads, caus
ing deep mud holes, would bear
beneficial results when winter sets
in. A leveling up and rounding up
the roads will be of great benefit.
If the .officials whose duty it is re
fuse to do this much needed work,
then the people themsejves should
organize in different communities
and do the work. From Ashboro
