Advertiser* WW Find Our Columna a Latch Key to 1500 of Martin Conntg's Home* VOLUME 2a—NUMBER 43 All TOWNS EXCEPT WILSON SIGNED UP Kinston, Rocky Mount, Farmviilc, and Vanceboro,* among the last to bar their doors against cooperative mar keting signed up warehouses with the Tobacco lirowers Cooperative Asso ciation in last weeks campaign which was the most remarkable series of meetings ever attended by tobacco far mers in Eastern North Carolina.' , 'ine enthusiasm of 2u,00u farmers who attended over 30 crowded meet ings in a dozen Eastern counties of the State, turned the campaign into a crusade. The crusade is rapidly de veloping into a landslide on which thousands of new growers and a num ber ol warehouses have already come into the Tobacco Growers Cooperative Asscciaition. "iou will be able to raise more on your advance payment and the assign ment of your tobacco than you have ever dreamed you could got out ol tobacco," Aaron Sapiro told the thous ands of farmers in Eastern CaWilina who hailed him as the prophet of co operative in the live great mammoth mass meetings which broke v all records for attendance-'and filleu theaters, warehouses and court houses t® overflowing in Washington, New Hern, Farmville, Kinston and Golds boro last week. The California leader of Coopera tive Marketing Associations who rep , regents 500,00u organized farmers and 60 associations with annual business, of lour hundred million dollars, made the prophecy ihul tobacco fanners ol North Carolina would be able to raise more from their advance payment anu the loan value of their participation receipt than they got on their entire crop lust year. d "Neither the outsider nor tiie in sider would have gotten any decent priu»s for burley tobacco in Kentucky if the Association had not been organ ized this last year," said Sapiro: "1 want to tell you that the growers in Kentucky the year preceding got an average of b to 11 cents a pound for burley toiieco. The growers in the association (In Kentucky) this year will average 26 tents a pound net" de clared the little Californian who called those speculators cowards, who cir culated signed and unsigned pamph lets against cooperative marketing,, but feared to meet him face to face witharguments against this movement —of the farmers. Speculators and warehousemen Who were hostile to coperative marketing, .sat silent in meeting after meetng while Sapir.o told the growers that no "system could lie worse than the auction sale of tobacco Under which tobacco farmers have averaged only $340 a year income as compaied to the income of $1660 a year which eur government states as necessary to maintain a decent standard of living for the average American family. More than ten thousand farmers heard Sapiro during his five day's toui of astern North Carolina. At least 16,000 other tobacco growers wen pre.-ent at meetings held in 28 othc. } towns of the Eastern belt last week . where five Kentucky leaders of tlu —Burley Tobacco -Growers Cooperat ivi_ Association convinced the fanners. l>e yond a' doubt of the success of tlu Kentucky Burley Pool. »The minute the first payment of eight cents a pound was made to our Kentucky Growers upon delivery of their tobacco the bankers came and lwgged to hold the participation re ceipts and paid eight cents more on them," said C. E. Marvin, prominent stock raiser and tobacco grower ol Lexington. Mr. Marvin told the North Carolina growers that the Kentucky members* of the marketing associa tion really got an average of 16 cents a pound immediately after their first t- deliveries because the banks were to advance them money on the security of thir warehouse receipts which the Kentuckian call participa * tion certificates. tl , W. H." Shanks president ofjfe Lin coln County National Bank told North Carolina farmers in five counties that the participation receipts are consid ered the best security in Kentucky. "Why one galussed fellow to whom we wouldn't lend a nickel before, can Some into our bank now and borrow "" hundreds of dollars on their partici pation receipts," said Mr. Shanks. Virgil Chapman, attorney for the Burley Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association, Jno. O. Craddock, a prom inent warehouseman and John Blanks Eastern Carolina growers to the need of increasing the present sign-up in the Old North State Irom 60 to 90 pit cent of ail tobacco farmers and tobarto. .An intnesive campaign is nov be ing conducted in which growers, mer chants and warehouseme are urgji to aid in gaining new members for the AsuHitia. THE ENTERPRISE STORIES OF QREAT INDIANS By Elmo Scull U)al»an Copyright, 1922. Western Newspaper Ualott. CANONCHET, THE SACHEM OF THE NARRAGANSETTS THEY had told Canoncbet that he must die. "1 like -it well," Veplied the old sachem of the Narragunsetts. "1 shall die before my heart Is soft or I have said anything unworthy of myself." Canomliet hud good reason to hate the English. Tliey had taken his fa ther prisoner and turned hlui over to his enemies, the Mohegans, who had tortured Miantonoino to death. When Kluk Philip formed his confederation of .New England tribes against the whites, Cauoncliet was sympathetic to the Wampuuoag's cause, but he did uot take the Held Immediately. The colonists suspected lilin, however, and j demanded that he sign a treaty agree ing to give up to them any of King Philip's people who fled to liliu. "Deliver the Indians of I'liilip} Never!" was the chiefs Indignant re ply. "Not a Warupatioag will 1 ever give up—no, not the paring of a Wani pauoug's nail!" So the coloulsts sent an army against Canonchet and ou December /19, 1075, It struck the Narragansetts In their fortllled tow# of Sunke- Squuw, H. I. There Canonchet lost a third of his nation, but with the re mainder, he carried the war to the colonists with such fury that his name was second only to that of King I'liilip as a word of terror in New England. Finally In tyrll 107(1, he was cap tured. The English offered him his life If he would help thetn against the hostile Indians, a proposal which was met with haughty silence and an in dignant flash in his eyes. Next they offered to spare him If he would send orders to his people to make peace. "I am a sachem," declared Canon chet proudly. "You have no one here of equal rank, 'so I will not talk of peace." "If you do not accept the terms of fered. you will be put to death," he was told. "I would rather die than reinuiii a prisoner," replied Canonchet. •'Oifeke, sun of Uncas, Is here. His father killed my father. Let him kill me." Ills request was denied. They took him in triumph to Stonlngton, Conn, As ii reward to the friendly Indians, the i'eqnots were allowed to shoot him; the Mohegans to behead htm and the Nihilities to burn him. As a return favor, the Mohegans presented Ills hepd to the KyglUh council st Itortfuri—-—'—r^—!—, So Canonchet of the Great Heart rame to the end of the trail. BE CAREFUL OF SUBSTITUTES "Just as good as a-ncw one," is a statement often made and seldom true. The need is for tHe good bat tery, the standard battery of honest contsruction but many battery fixers have fallen for the idea that they can build a battery as well, but a lot cheaper than the manufacturer who usee volume production methods and who has the pick of the market for supplies. "The rebuilt battery," says Mr. Jor dan Ward, of York's Garage, local Willard service station man, "is often made of parts from discarded bat teries which have just enough more life in them to get by the purchase Uitc, A few new parts may be add ed, a new caße ami a lot of new paint and then the sad refrain "Just as good.' . The car driver who wants satisfac tory battery operation is advised hj Mr. Ward to go to the authorized bat tery service station representing a standard make of battery. He is then getting more than a battery, he get.- a battery with the reputation of a manufacturer who has thousands or millions of dollars invested in plant and equipment behind it. /■ , > I AM COOPERATIVE MAKKETING I bring smile to the faces of wives and children; wherever I go you will find homes, better schools, good fewer mortgages and more cash. I am the great developer of rural communities; farmers, merchants and bankers .praise me wherever I am known.

FIGURES SHOW .HEATH FROM SNAKE BITES ARE VEKV RAKE Although the average mortality from American venomous snakes is a little more than 10 per cent of the persons bitten, deaht from snake bites is quite rare, according to the Bio logical Survey of the United States Department of Agriculture, because relatively few persons encounter or are bitten by the dangerous species. The most venomous of our native snakes live in lonely, little settled dis tricts, often on stony or swampy land that can not be cultivated. Usually they disappear at the approach of man, and while they may strike if provoked the popular belief in respect ttt the distance they can strike is er roneous. Three-fourts of their own length is about the greatest distance possible. If the legs are well protect ed when one u going into deep woods or places known to be infested by rattlers or other poisonous snakes, there is slight ihance of being bitten. As the food of snakes consists of living prey, they cannot be killed b> poisonous baits. The only method thus far devised to kill them seems to be clubbing or shooting. This is done best in early spring when they are still sluggish after the winter hi bernation. Allowing hogs free run of likfasLerl land may reduce the number of snakes. However, the popular idea that hogs are immutie to snake bite is probably based on the impenetra bility by the venomous fangs of their thick skin and fat layer rather than on actual immunity of these animals. The varieties most comonly found in this country are the Elapidae, or Herlequin snakes, and the Crotalidae, or "pit vipers,' which include rattle snakes, cotton-mouth water moccasins and copperheads.

Colored people living nearby stat ed that two partita allied them dur ing thfc "flight and asked them to as sist them but they refused to do so and they appeared to be frightened so they went off and left the car In h mud. It is guessed that the guilty; parties were headd for Norfolk and perhaps the bad roads account for the recovery of the ear.

In February $3,906,- 0()0 was allotted, and in March tho figure jumped to $12,029,000. In April plans for 226 projects were approved by the bureau, the second largest numbre in the history of Fed eral' aid, and indications are that the number for May wll be even larger. In the past the peak of volume of plans approved came in June and July the earlier occurrence this year shows that the states are making good their ktromise to gut as much Work under Construction as possible to take ad vantage of lower prices and relieve tre unemployment situation. A consid erable portion of the projects for which the plans are approved should get under construction during the summer and add greatly to the 13,- 960 miles under construction on Mch. 31st. On this date the number o? com pleted projects on which final pay ment ha dbeen made passed the 2,000 mark, involving 11,0t? miles; It* wtW be interesting to watch tlie growth in this figure during the 1922 season^ NOT TOO LATE FOR A GARDEN ' Raleigh, June 6.—"What's a fellow to do who was unable to get a garden planted in the spring ? " This has not been an infrequent query recently, the continuous rains in some sections hairi*? made it very difficult to get land in proper shape for planting. This i estion refli cts the impres sion a majority of people still have tnat a garden is a seasonal pro ject, planting to be done in the spring and the garden to be abandon ed by mid or late summer. As a matter of fact a real garden in an all-the-year proposition. There are drops for planting summer month and almost every other month, and there should be products for the table available from the garden prac tically every day in the year Far mers who have not planted a| real garden yet can still plant a succession of corn for roasting ears, string beans tomatoes* lima beans, Bquash, turnips and other greens. He should begin planning, for his winter parden also. "The garden is the starting point for a self-sustaining farm," recently declared R. W. Scott of Alamance county, one of the most successful farmers in North Carolina. The way to begin making a real gardien is to write to the Agricultural Extension Service, Raleigh, for the two splen did, practical garden bulletins, the Farm Garden and the Garden Manual. • * CORN FOR SALE; AT $3.60 and |4.00 per barrel, at my farm.
