Several Addresses and a Sump, tuous Dinner-$2,100 Raised by Cabareua Farmers for Bonded Warehouse in Concord A Sub-Warehouse to be Built at Harrisburg, for Which $675 has Been Subscribed. The members of the Cabarrus Bonded Cotton Holding Company held an enthusiastic meeting Sat urday at Rocky- Ridge, three ; miles from Concord. Several hundred people were collected amid the great rocks under the stately grove. A" more appro priate or beautiful spot for summer outing . could not be found in the State; and a regular picnic was enjoyed. The farm ers for miles around came in bug gies and wagons, bringing their wives and children, and basket dinners. The meeting was held in White Hall school house. spacious building originally erect ed by the Northern Presbyterian Mission Board. . . At 11 a. m. tne meeting was called to order by Mr. George E Ritchie. Mr. John P. Allison an nounced the object of the assem bly, and introduced Mr. C. C. Moore, of Mecklenburg county, president of the North Carolina division of the cotton association, who addressed the audience for over an hour on the questions under discussion, presenting an instructive and educative ac count of the history of the cot ton industry, and the market needs of its producers; the ne cessity of holding back the staple and for its storage .until its value can bfi received. His theory," by order of the Southern Cotton As sociation, to' receive full value for the product,, is the erection of storage warehouses in each cotton producing district For the construction of such store houses subscription is urged of all cotton producers. The cot ton is to be stored and held in such houses until -.satisfactory prices are received for the pro duct; storage and insurance to be secured at the lowestposaible rates. ' ' ' ' '.. . ' ': At noon an adjournment was taken for dinner. The farmers gathered under the shade of- the trees, opened their , capacious baskets and feasted on their ap petizing contents, varied with pies, cakes, fried chickens, and watermelons. , At 2 p. m. the audience re assembled, and listened to an able speech from Attorney Mc- Kae, of. Charlotte, who announced that he wasyborn and reared in the rural regions of Anson county, had been a . farmer for many years, and was in full sympathy with all agricultural interests. He had studied the subject of cotton production 'and sale, and was well acquainted with the farmers' financial necessities and" require ments. He hoped the (ime would come when country residents could afford and enjoy all the luxuries needed for home com fort, and the higher education of their children. These will come, he said,' when the farmers study their financial interests, and adopt business principles in the sale of their crops. At the conclusion of the exer cises $2,100 was raised for the erection of a cotton storage ware house at Concord. . The sum of (5,000 is wanted to complete the structure, and the amount will doubtless be speedily' raised in Cabarrus county. Mr. C C. Moore will address the cotton growers at Harrisburg Wednesday night next, on the subject of erecting a branch cot ton storage warehouse at Harris burg. The people at Harrisburg have already raised by subscrip tion $G75 for the erection of a local branch cotton warehouse. Mr. I A. Ileilig returned last !jht from a week's stay at Lake 'cxaway. .

Fisher & Son's best horses Friday afternoon, during the thunder storm. The cloud was heavily charged with electricity, a flash of which struck the tele phone wires and ran into the 'phone in the office, making a sharp crack. The horse was hitched in a stall adjoining the office. When the flash came he become frightened and made a desperate pull on the halter which broke, allowing him to make a complete somersault backwards. His head stuck the hard ground in the center of the stable with such force that the top was broken. He died within a few minutes. The lightning did ho damage more than to frighten the horse. Now that the Concord-Mt Pleasant road question is settled across little Cold water, and we hope agreeably to all parties, it is time to consider plans for extend ing the work the remaining five miles. A railroad may strike this place and electric line will come sooner or later, but in any event it is self-evident that we must have a better road to Concord, part of which at present is a miserable excuse. Parties are interesting themselves in forming feasible plans for completing the road to this place, but lest we cause an incorrect understanding, we will not give them until more mature.
