Fayetteville People Originate A
yovel Plan To Elevate, Price
- of Staple.
Fayetteville, Oct W-The Fayetter
ville chamber of commerce is theiorigi
nator of a plan to elevate the price of
cotton to a figure allowing a fair re
muneration to tbe producer. This plan
is ohtained in a resolution pissed by
the chamber of commerce urging each
citizen of Fayetteville, merchant or
clerk, manufacturer or mechanic, trad:
smao any professional man, who can
by and possible means do eo to buy at
least one bale of cotton on the Fayette
ville market and as long as ha is able
ty do with out the funds invested in it
to let that bale stand before his door as
a sin of his friendly co operation
with the producer of the aouth's great
est crop.
It is estimated that if southern towi q
and cities generally would adopt Ihw
plan at least 3,000,003 bales would be
bought by individuals who are not cot
ton buyers and that probably half of
this amount would be held until spring.
This, it is pointed out by the chamber
of commerce, would not only appreci
ably raise the price of fhe fl ecy s'aple,
but would bring about a new era of in
crea ed good feeling and co-operation
between the town and coun ry.
''The cause of the farmers," aajs tie
chamber of commerce, '"is the cause of
all" when the farmers suffers the whole
country suffers. The merchants and
business men generally are taking ho'd
of tbe matter heartily and confidently
believe the far-reaching plan of the
chamber, of commerce will be successful.

nothing marred the celebration of the

Striking impromptu remarks by Gov

a stirring tribute to this distinguished

the great audience gathered in the
splendid and immense structure impart
ed an extra special zest and interest to
the exercises in dedication of the

sistent calls to address the crowd, al

delighted with the people & he was

yean ago cn the E'glish channel when
he, Vance, was desperat :ly seasick, and
had ministered to him, and had learned

lawyers of North Carolina under him as
district attorneys, when he presided
over the Department of Justice, at
Waahinptoi,and tbe people of the State
had 8( en fit since to mae both of them

Caro'lnians seemed to think so much of
