Wannamaker of the American Cotton Association. i!n a fetter to the Manufacturers Recor<| suggests that not only Florid! buWltte whole Atlantic Coast |f the South is soon to share in Fl|rida’al‘’itrosperity. We will extendMhe suggestion and say thar not on|y thilSduth Atlantic Coast, but thfe Gulf Coast on out to the limit |f Texas will also share in this prosperity, and not only will it be tie Atlantic and Gulf Coasts, but all parts of the South. The movement is under way; it is ina tion-wide. It will bring about an increase of wealth and prosperity such ffe the South has never be fore hpd. In his letter on the subject President) Wannamaker said: * “A big bumness man has made the following statement: • “ ’Tltere are 70,000,000 people in America to whom Florida is ac cessibly as a playground and for homes --fchefMtre making purchases there for this purpose. It is large ly the Mwifcspf the work of Mr. Edmuri|s\that their attention was Florida. Phis is not -it ts permanent and will Jo all sections of the South, ands on the Carolina coast, tlonial homes and fertile t lands. Prices at which they tre being sold today will be regard tremendous sacrifice in a ars. In other words, people selling today will realize (lapped their birthright for j of pottage. The many ad is offered in the South for |and investments are being 1 today as never before. Mr. ds was the pioneer in this bnt.’ recently a plantation on kst of Carolina which sold 1,000 on the highest inflated | we had on real estate in las sold for $100,000, and ponly one of the many recent An my judgment this marks (lanent change in the south, ivhich^is destined to become the most densely populated section of any (jirt of the nation, and the population will be composed of the cieam'of the Ination. “I rincerely hope and pray that you wpl live to see predictions you nave Made concerning the South yerifi^ll. The boom today is in its infancy.” We qjbote this letter without, how ever, any claim whatever to the commendations made to the editor of this paper, but merely to ex press oun belief tliat what hap pened in the case of the particu 1 lar plantation on the coast of Car olina will happen in thousands of other cases, not only on that coast but all the way down to Browns ville Texas, and in other parts of | the South. The South’s day is com I ing.—Manufacturers Record. AN EXPERIENCE OF GROL'P LEADER W. F. HARPER Friday night after Mr. Harper had failed to get a crowd out for'a local (which Mr. Shackleford and myself attended on Tuesday night) he (Mr. Harper) feeling confident that he would run across the old gang at a certain time merchant’s store in Deep Run, took it upon himself, to go up and hold his meeting in the store. He found the gang as expected, called them to order, and started off by say ing: “Gentlemen, I have been try ing for two years to get you con tract breakers to attend now and I am gffng to tell j)>u a few facts. I mean facts, when I say facts. Every word I’m going to tell you is the truth, and I have twen ty odd thousand farmers Jn North Carolina standing with me like a rock wall. If you don’t know what, a rock wall is, I’ll explain it to you: A rock wall is something that will stand through thick and thin and not t^y to break an agreement that it makes by jumping behind their wife’s coat-tail, or giving a crop lien to some merchant in or der to have an excuse to breakk a Contract that they have signed agreeing tq do certain thnigs. J That is what I mean by a rock wall. Instead of ybu men being a rock wall, you are nothing but a jelly fish, every time the wijnd changes yqu shift to another place and kep right on violating your contract. Five years ago I had confidence in every 0B0 of you, now I haven’t got a bit. I don’t blame the mer chants for making you give him a crop lien. He wouldn’t be safe without one. If you will break your promise with me, you will break one with him. I don’t believe you people know, just what honest peo- i pie think of a man that will break his contract, if you did you would not keep doing like you do. I tell you honest people hate men ^ that wont do what they say will do, and I don’t blame them. I don’t want to live in a community with ! people like that, that’s whs*.' I' came here to talk to you tonight. I want you to be men enough to stick to your Cooperative Market ing contract and deliver your cot ton and tobacco, this year like a man. There’s not a man here but what can deliver his stuff if he Safety First! Attend Johnston Coun ty Fair October 27- 30 CARS PARKED 25 cents I will have in charge, lot in front of the Fair Grounds, for parking curs. LET WE TAKE CARE OF YOUR CAR WHILE YOU ENJOY THE FAIR EZRA STEVENS, Owner Smithfield, N. C. wants to, and I kknow there is i a man here that wont be better off if he delivers. I have delivered every pound of my stuff every since the thing started, and this is the first time in my life I have been out of debit at this time of yVra. It will put you on a cash bas is just like it did me, if you will let it. Now I want every one of you to promise me that you are going to deliver your crop this year. That’s all I want. If you will do that, then I will be satisfied”. SALES LEADERSHIP OP HUDSON CAR CONTINUES There can be no better proof that Hudson is the World’s Great est Value than what owners say for it and that its sales leadership continues now as it has for years, the outstanding success of motor dom. Hudson prices are lowest be cause tremendous volume has made possible economical methods of manufacture. Without such volume, such pri ces would be impossible. And with out increasing quality, such vol ume would never be reached. For years Hudson-Essex have been the world’s largest selling six-cylinder cars. Such position cannot be attained, much loss con tinued, if value is not even more distinctive than the price. Coihctt' Motor company, of Sel ma, invites any interested to ac cept a Hudson demonstration as their guest. It will convey’ as no words can, the supreme Super Six performance, smoothness and riding ease. And when one consid ers its prices of $1195 list for the Coach, $1495 for the Brougham and $1695 for the 7-passenger Se dan, one must acept’ the verdict of all motordom that Hudson is the “World’s Greatest Buy.” Peanuts—$30,000,000 Worth How the humble peanut is close ly allied with American history is told in the United States Depart ment of Agriculture education&l film, “Peanuts — $30,000,000 Worth.” This vegetable, which is not ac tually a nut but a ground pea, is a native South American plant and found its way to North America by way of Africa as food for pris oners on board slave ships in ear ly Colonial days. Up to the time of the war between the States the plant was neglected by the south ern planters and was grown mainly in small patches by the slaves. During the war Union soldiers foraging for food came upon the “goober pea” and found it pala table and nourishing- After Appo mattox many of them carried the SALES Debnam Buick Company L. D.
