AH Day Picnic; Dr. H. Q. lexander, President!; of the Union
in North Carolina, Speaks in the Mqrriing; and Dr. Clarence
Poe, Editor Progressive Farmer, .in the s Afternoon; vBig
Dinner; Music by Band, .Composed Farmers' Union Men.
Close ton to Three Thousand People in Attendance
It was the biggest picnic ever
held in Bertie Co., save Storjey j
Creek. Close to3000 people attend
ed. The early morning gave
signs of a clear day and with
that promise before them the
members of the Farmers' Union
and their friends took the rcjad
for Windsor. And they brought
aplenty of dinner for: every
body; and every body was, incited--and
if every body didnt
get a plenty it was their falt.
There was' enough left to feed
a thousand more people. The
State's two foremost leaders in
our agricultural interest address
ed the people. Streamers acrpss
the street bore words of welcome
and were adorned with agricult
ural products. The, court room
was a most attractive scepe.
The decorations were among pret
tiest we have ever seen thgre
Farm products were there Vith
good effect. Two fourteen fleet
stalks of corn, raised; by lIr.
Perry Hoggord stood as pillars,
as it were, supporting bteMne
specimens of Bertie's "otherle
crops. It was indeed a pretty
scene, emblematic of the gr w
ingprosperity of the farmer ,rid
the spirit of their Union.
And too, the preparations for
the big dinner were complete in
every- detail and wish. This
knew would be so when Mr
we
J.
E. Tadlock was askedto manage
it. Plenty of good ice-water,
barrels of it, and of lemonade,
with a plenty of cups and dip
pers. He is certainly a mas ter
hand at this business.
Promptly on the hour Mr. R.
E. Tarkenton called the meeting
to order, He was acting Presi
dent in the place of J. Lawrence
Harrington detained by sickntss
His remarks were apt arid pleas
ant. The opening prayer at
each session was by E. J. Miller,
the champlain. - 1
Hon. Francis D. Winstbnh (in
words of welcome .made every
body feel at home. His sugges
tion of better public conveniences
fpr the people who
Windsor was loudly -applauded.
Mr. Miles Askew rdspotded
to the welcome. He tejks well.
His reference to thi hands me
decorations and the work of the
ladies brought applause.; c J
Dr. H. Q. Alexander was the
mornings speaker. He was
presented by Mr. ! Jtf Mp Perry.
We never heard a better ir tra
duction, and wehopeMr; Perrjr
will furnish the speech! for our
columns. It was a eal gem. J"
Dr. Alexander Sis iaim!an of
pleasant address .. with a ringing
voice that is well suited tbub
lic speaking. He is1 President
of the State Farmers' .Ifr ion.
He discussed in a masterful way
many phases of ' the prob ms
confronting our agricultural life;
marketing, distribution cooi era

the point, and makes you sit up
and take notice. His strongest
point was that the farmers'are
not getting their share of the
profits of production. '
The adjournment for dinner
found the vast throng ready to
eat. Tables had been arranged
along Dundee street. Such a
sight is seldom .witnessed in
Windsor as the baskets made.
It was a dinner of' the very best
the land affords, prepared in the
mdst palatable way and served
by men and women who know
what hospitality is. When a
Bertie farmer asks you to eat
he means it, and he means it be
cause, what; he oers isgoDd.
If a single man, woman or child,
failed to get a dinner on Thurs-
..'
day it was not the fault of the
Farmers? Union. - The dinner
was there. vIt was for the pub
lic. ' After feeding the vast
throng, there was plenty to
spare. One pf the happiest in
cidents was the 1 table specially
sbread r for the bandl: It was: a
TMey halS earned a square meal. ?
Promptly on the Jiour the audi
ence assembled after dinner.
The quartette by farmer boys.
X paniels, Fatie Daniels,
Levi Godwi,n and Scarboro Mizell
was ' excellent . and . loudly ap
plauded. Rev.' T. T. Speight, D. D.,
introduced Dr , Clarence Poe.
His introduction was excellent
and catchy. uDr. Clarence poe
is the bestr known agricultural
editor in America, ;He is one of
the greatest writers on all agri
cultural subjects and; matters of
education He has . traveled on
foreign lands and written most
readable boqks. His address
was admirable in every respect.
He discussed agricultural educa
tion, cooperat ion and race segre
