automobilists to adopt.
The entertainment by the
Jeannette Kling Co. was enjoyed
by a good audience Saturday
night. Like the other entertain
ments given under the direction
of the Wadesboro Entertainment
Bureau, this was of high class in
every respect and instructive to
both old and young. The read
ings by Miss Kling were among
the best ever heard here and
every number was encored. Miss
Manse's excellent mezzo-soprano
voice with the piano accompani
ments by Miss Schmit, pleased ex
ceedingly. The young ladies were
kind enough to add a number of
spicy encores that greatly enliven
ed the "evening of story and
sony."
lhe editor or this paper is
hereby discovered to be in a most
uncomfortable position. Here's
the reason and reason a plenty it
is. Last Saturday his good friend
Mr. Swink left two unusually
large Dears in the office with the
very modest request that one be
presented to Mr. Swink s best girl
with the understanding that the
two might become as truely a pair
as this was a fine pear. The edi
tor is also requested to so present
the other pear with the same obli
gations attached to the gift. Elat
ed over this and unselfish enough
to be about his friend's business
first, he proceeded to dispose of
the first pear and had not the least
trouble. It went so quickly as to
almost make his head swim. Then
joyfully he began to look after the
interest of himself, to dispose of
second pear and thereby settle a
question of most momentous im
portance to him. An honest effort
has been made, and his sorrow
and chagrin-, while he sits and
watches that pear slowly decay,
can hardly be imagined. Verily
the ways of this world are hard to
understand.

One Question Too Many.
Recently a Republican spell
binder asked if there was a single
Democrat present in his audience
and one lonely person stood up.
"Will you tell us just why you are
a Democra?" asked the speaker."
"Because my father was one, I
suppose,'' said the Democrat.
"Yes, just as I expected," said the
speaker, "Now if your father had
been a jackass what would you
have been?" To this the Demo
crat replied, "Guess I would been
a Republican."
A Plan to Help - The Farmers
Sell their Cotton.
A. p;an has been provided by co
operation between the business men
Wadesboro, and the farmers to hold
cotton for higher prices.
The farmers organizations
throughout the South believe that
if farmers will rpfnsa to kpII cotton
-
daring the months of November, O
December and January that prices
will go up to twelve cents. This 4
belief is so strong that prominent z
farmers have urged the giuners to
close the gins until January 1st. J
Some of the unwise and thoughtless O
have even gone farther than this tl
and threatened to burn the gins if
the prominent farmers near Raleigh
was arrested atew davs since on a
charge of threatening to raise a I
i i -
crowu mj ourn a in. Ltins in gome
sections of the South have beenj
burned with the view'of preventing
coiiou neing ginneu ana piacea up
on the market.
If business men and farmers
would combine as has been done in
w ad es boro tnere would be no cause
for such trouble.
With the Tariff
its Marked At
All Off and Prof
The Minimum
Unafraid of a Southern Panic and unhampered for capital, our buy
ers picked New York's richest bargains until The Busy Corner could
expand a block and still be a crowded house. We have added new
lines and infused new vigor and life into others until today we beckon
alike to the man of fashion and the apostle of economy.
Tne Following is the Plan.
On each bale stored the farmer
receives an advance of Twentv Five
Dollar in cash, and a bond from
the company that the cotton will be
fully insured and protected from
fire and theft, and in case of loss,
the farmer receives full price for
the cotton. The entire cost to the
farmer including: storage, insurance
and the use of the money advanced
is two dollars S2) a oaie. mere is
a pretty good profit in this chargre
to those who are advancing the
money, but all who desire are in
vited to go into the combination
and each one who advances money
to loan to the fanners, will receive
his share of the piofits on what
they put in whether, it be five dol
lars or five thousand. Farmers arel
nvited to ioin in as well as mer
chants, lhe plan is to help the!
farmer hold his cotton.
What The Farmers Think.
The farmers organization say that j
they believe cotton will go to Twelve
Cents a pound if it is held for three
months. If it does here is what
the farmer gains after paving the
two dollars a bale:
One five hundred pound bale cf
cotton at twelve cents $t0.00
f sold at nine cents would bring 45.00
Loss to farmer now 15.00
If held for three month on a
payment of two dollars a bale leaves
the farmer thirteen dollars a bale
clear profit.
If at the end of three months the
armet wants to hold ihe cotton one
or more months he can have it held
at a reduced rate of one dollar and
fiftv cents for three months which
would be less than two cents, a day
per bale, and this guarantees the
armers against all loss.
lhis plan enables farmers to pay
V.I 11. 11 1.1
on their aeots and absolutely guar
antees to all citizens m tins section 1
a protection from nlghV riders and
the burning of cotton gins.
I his privilege is given to all peo
ple who bnng their cotton to Wades
boro for sale. If the price is not
what you want on the day you
bring your cotton to market vou
can put it in the Bonded Ware-
louse and get the twenty nve dol-
ars a bale on it. Or if you do not
want to borrow any money on your
cotton you can have it stored in the
warehouse under control of Dr. W.
McLendon. The Bonded Ware
louse only receives cotton when the
armer wants an advance of monev.
No cotton received from rented
- .
arn.s or where trie party has a I
mortgaee on his crop without the
. . . i i -i
written consent ot the land owner
or the mortgagee.
E. F. Fenton, who has been en
gaged to look after the storing of
he cotton, will give any infor
mation desired.
