ABOUT ORGANIZATION
OF PEANUT GROWERS
Should the farmers organise? KoJ
Many years the farmer* of the count
try have seen the need for k bette"
system of hendling their products.
No one thing has contributed more
to the farmers hard lot and poverty
than the fact that he has fed the
world not at his price but at their
price. The fanner is too mpoh of a
man to kick at low pricwr. when he
knew* the consummer gets the bene
fits frem his products bnt the fauner
and consumer have ssuiksnnmi figures
and they find such a va*t difference
in what the fanner gete 'nhdr what
the consumer paya that they are
wondering what makes the great dif
ference ~and they have at last found
tbc fellow, hi* name is "Speculator."
His business is buy low and sell
high. He thinks he in the life of trade
tnd he has been, because the men
who were carrying the load, the roul
. ranters of wealth have paid no t\l
tenth.i to thut part of their busim.
I'hry havn stood tMH and to-ie for
seeing fellow has said to himself?
"They *.nt know what they, have and
knew loss about how to dlepoee of
Hi" so he eomoe forward and' callp
himself the peanut market, the cot
ton market or the potato market, as
the caie might be and then he looks
up the ceneuntera of that product and
with hi* right band he gha bent down
the priee. of the former's goods and
with hie Mi he hM boosted the prioe
to thr consumer.,
ITils leaves three fellows, standing
in a tow, th Dinner anl consumer 81
the ends, peer, and th* spee*»lator in

will have every advantage that the
trade affords. They can possess a
complete knowledge of everything
that should make the price of any
commodity. They will know the a
mount of supply nnd demand and not
have to depend upon crop speculators
to tell farmers there is a bi« crop
and the prices will be low and at the
same time tell the consumr that goods
are scarce and prices high.
The peanut farmers of Eastern Car
olina and Virginia are making a drive
to form an organiiatiM .which will
mean that they will sell their peanuts
directly to the "Dago" who eats them.
This will put millions of dollars in
the pockets of the farmer that he has
lost heretofore. The men who are
working the county are well known
and reputable citlsens, endorsed by
the United States Government and
farmer* whenever they an known
and are entitled to the confidence and

The Williamston High School lias
ket Ball Team met the strong quint
of the Washington Collegiate Insti

night February 28. When the whistle
blew to commenct the game every
player ran to his place, the centers
met and the referee tossed the bull
a few feet in the air. Then the gaim
was in full swing with every man
doing his bit. The hall saw both goals
only one time in the first five minutes
but then the W. C.' 1. by advantage
of their size began to push the ball
toward their goal more frequently.
Our boys were kept busy trying to
keep out of the giants way and had
Pbut little time to shoot goals. The
first half left us with only six points
to our credit and ninteen points to
Washington's credit. The second half
found more determination in William
ston's quint so the Institute had to
put forth all their might to keep the
lead. The last half passed quick
leaving both teams with twelve points
to their credit for the last half. The
game was interesting throughout and
was enjoyed by the few spectators.
