We have but one aim and ob
ject in view, and that Is to build
up and maintain a big, reliable,
thriving and lasting business by
selling the people “high grade
goods at low grade prices.” This
we are enabled to do by the piles
of strictly seasonable goods we
are dally receiving at bargain
prices and selling the same way.
Space forbids mention of the
various articles we will offer for
the next ten days at bargain
prices, better come and see.

was another mistrial; but the de
fendant had a close shave of it.
Whereas, as the result of the first
trial the jury stood five for con
viction and only one for acquit

Magistrate Johnson at his home
in Bethel township. Messrs. J.

Major James F. Hart and F. P.

There was not a little tremble in
securing a jury, as a number of
jurors stated on their voir dire
that they bad formed opinions
that could not be changed by the
law or the evidence. The testi

At the January meeting of the
North Carolina Fanners State
Association, a resolution was
adopted that the annual meeting
of the Association be held the
third Tuesday in August. Com
missioner S. L. Patterson, who
is a member of the Executive
Committee of the Association,
informs os that he will be away,
engaged in Institute work at
that due, aad the following week
will he in attendance at the
meeting of tbe Cotton States
Association of Commissioners of
AgricnUnre. in Nashville, Tenn.
Therefore, it is thought best to
hold the annual meeting of the
State Farmers Association on
Wednesday, September 3, in the
Auditorium of tbe Agricultural
Building in tbe city of Raleigh,
beginning at eleven o’clock A.
M. It is to be hoped that every
county in the Stare will be rep
resented at thht meeting. We
hope to secure reduced rates
over the different railways for
tbe occasion.
When this Association first
met in September, 1901, to lake
in consideration the cotton-seed
situation, and devise plans by
which a better price could be
obtained for them, and by reso
lution declared that nnder exist
ing conditions cotton-seed should
not be sold for less than 25 cents
per bushel for cosh, nor ex
changed,for cotton-seed meal for
less than 1,333 pounds of meal
for one ton of seed, it demon
strated the power of concert of
action; for by that resolution it
established a price that resulted
in untold benefit to tbe cotton
lanners oi me sou til. While
some derided the action oi the
Convention and said that it was
composed of people who did not
know what they were doing,
others had confidence in their
judgment and stood by the action
of the Association. The farm
ers who refused to take part in
the meetings, and continued to
sell their cotton-seed as fast as
ginned, received from 18 to 21
cents per bushel for them, while
those who abided by the action
of the Association, received from
25 cents to 27 cents per bushel
for theirs. This very tact should
give the fanners of the State
confidence in the Association,
and cause them to take an
active port in its workings.
For the purpose of a complete
organisation and thorough rep
resentation at the State meeting,
we snggest that township meet
ings be held on Saturday, Aug
ust 23rd, at the usual place for
bolding township meetings, and
that County meetings be held
Saturday, August 30. at the
Court House, at 12 o’clock, and
then select delegates to attend
State meeting.
This Association is of too
much importance to the farmers
of the State for its meetings to
be neglected by them. Let them
show their interest in the work,
and their determination to suc
ceed by attending these meet
ings in large numbers. The
Secretary will gladly furnish
constitutions ana membership
rolls to any one desiring them.
Remember this Association is in
the interest of all classes of far
mers, whether cotton, tobacco,
grain or track fanners, therefore
all are cordially invited and urged
to attend. Respectfully,
T. B. Pakkex, Sec’y.
