When the farmers in Sampson can j
talk as independent as some of the j
papers say they do about the boll- i
weevil they must be all right. Why, j
one farmer has made the statement i
that if every producer got 20 cents
for every pound of cotton this year
he would realize more on the huskl- j
berry crop than he would on his cot
toa crop. When folks talk like this,
the boll-weevil had better find other
accommodations, for in (Sampson hi.
rations are liable to be short.

EDITORIAL -- --- ... ttfioui
v The Virgin-ia papers are carrying
the news that the Lily Blacks of that
state in their meeting at Buckrow
' Beach, near Norfolk, will, declare in
favor of Mr. Henry Ford for the pres
idency. Wonder what the Georgia
Peach has to say about this?
The ku kiux klan is always coming
in for some good as well as evil re
port. Whenever a fellow ' jiow aday.
gets beat at the polls for an offioe he
either contributes it to the primaries
where he says some republicans got
into the fold or else he puts the blame
on the ku kiux klan, when the whole
trouble is that the poor devil just
, could not get the votes in his own
. party. "
" After all, the railroad strikers still
have some heart left in them, even
. though some folks think to the con-
y trary.. Some newspapers think it a
. great thing when these strikers actu
ally went on a wueck train to help to
clear the tracks for the passenger and
..freight trains. The lirikers are hu
man beings after all, and yet know
their duty to suffering fellowmen.
t'i Governor Morrison and a party of
the state's leading citizens are this
;-wek oa the coast of North Carolina
inspecting the fishing industry. To
pass laws for the fishing business of
eastern North Carolina is about as
hard job as to pass a etate-wide
fame law. Attemps have been made
before every session of the legisla
ture since the year 1 and but little
-, ae far - has been accomplished. The
. governor is to be highly commended
for. his endeavors to get at the trufh
tof the eastern situation and the Sou-
-tbeTner wishes him great tmccess in
bis efforts in its line.
.Everybody is expected to go out to
Bryan Park tomorrow and see Tar
t.ro clash in the initial game of the
'mnd half of the league series.
