NOT A CHANCE; NEVER HAS
HAD
"Standing in his defeneelessness
against the organization of the buy
ers and manufacturers, operated by
the test brains that can be hired, the
individual farmer has no chance and
he never has had a chance." declared
Judge Bingham in his fptech in the
Wake count courthouse a few nights
ago.
The speaker had reviewed the situ
ation, showed how manufacturers and
buyers wished to buy as cheap as
they could and sell as high, and stat
ed that they were not to be blamed.
This is the game as it is played and
must be played. But as long as this
lasts, he said, the individual farmer
would have to go again, c? he always
had gone, throw down his tubaco on
a warehouse floor, and take what was
offered him. Only he himself can
bring about a change and the only
way to do it is by co-operative mar
keting.
In January 1920 the Furley tobr.c
co growers of Ken.ucky sold their
tobacco for forty-eight cents a pound
and that was the most money they
had ever had. They planted the next
cvop. In January 1'j21, when the
time came to sell, they were obl'ged
to put the crop on the warehouse
fio3rs and take what va offered.
Speculators bought it for less than
the warehouse charges for selling it
end many a farmer hud to let his
crop go and still be in d.-bt for its
sal.1. The whole crt.p brought not
jnore than an average of ei. .-:i t
thir.een cents, yet in six months the
speculators sold it fr sixteen cents.
That could not have happened under
co-operative marketing, f r the crop
would not have been put upon the
market at that time. The farmer
would have held it and g: the bene
fit of the rise.
The damnation of uncertainty thnt
the farmer has always faced was
ciwelt upon by Judge Bingham. Nev
er does the farmer know when he
plants his crop what he is to get for
jt and he cannot plan ahead like oth
er men. This uncertainty is ruinous
to any business. In Denmark, where
all farm products are sold co-operatively,
the farmer knows when he
plants his crop what he is to get for
it. His system of selling is recog
nized in London where his products
re sold 83 being as sound as the
Bank of England.
Cotton, tobacco and wheat are the
only three farm products that are
imperishable and that have a demand
in every civilized country in the
world. The California fruit grow,
era, having only perishable products
and no wide or universal r.iaikets,
have (rrown prosperous and have ev
erything they need by co-operative
marketing. Yet tobacco and cotton
growers of the south, with a world
monopoly, are going to the wall all
the time. Wilh thee tv.-3 imperish
able crops and with a world wide de
mand, the succes 'of co-opera'.ive
market'ng is assured ii '.hj farmers'
will net together.
Co-operative marketing is of world
wide economic significance. Will the
fsrr..e-s embrace their last opportun
ity for independence or will they hes
itate and lis' en io the argument of
the timid ones who say it can't be
done?
will not make enough to retire on,
or net enough to "keep up with the
process:on,' or' not enough to build
the most palatial home in town.
There is, too, a widespread idea that,
without money accumulated, any man
is labeled a failure. Money has be
come the chief measure in all walks
of life. But money is the most timid
thing in the world. It ventures noth
ing. It conies readily into the life
of the community only when pros
perity rides high. Above all, it com
municates its peculiarities to those
who have it always in mind. You
can't worship . money and develop
character. You are most forceful
when you play the gamefi(r love of
the game. You a.e a positive man
when, in your eyes, well won victory,
not victory' reward, is the main
thing."
The. Citizen has described a condi
tion but it has not diagnosed the
cause of that condition. It ia not the
changed attitude towards money that
has brought about the change in
.social and political life which the
Citizen describes. The new attitude
towards money itself is but one of
these new conditions, not the cause
of them. The causes lie deeper than
that. Simply stated, the base of
American life has changed from the
intensely individualistic to the social,
and the cause of this goes way back
to the most fundamental and all em
biacing fact that we know, r.amely,
that modern industry is based upon
the machine and not upon the hu
man hand as in past a-;es. The old
time individualism held out longer in
the mountains because the machine
was slower in reaching so far. These
are falling now to the inevitable pro
cesses ef the a;;e.
The Time give good advice in its
last paragraph, tlflit doirg a thing
well is what affords satisfaction rath
er than the results gaiii'.'d. There
are signs that wo sre learn'::;; some
thing of this. This is one paint of
view that .certain classes of the Eng
l.st people have never lost ;:nl it is
v hat has made them in many re
spects the Lest fighters, the best vic
tors and th best losers the world
ha3 ssen. May Americans Larn more
of it.
FORCE AND FORCE
An old citizen of Buncombe county
died and at his funeral a friend aros
and remarked: "Our departed friend
nas never a negative man. He was
always, in all circumstances, a posi
tive man. You always knew where
lie stood on everything." From the
manner in which this tribute was
paid and the way it was received, ev
erybody knew thaj, in the death of
that man, the life of the conimurity
bad lost a great force.

subjects of vital importance to tne

who know. . .
Marketing w.ll be discussed. This
is also a live question, ror instance:
did you know that at one time last
year a 200-pound hog was worth
126.00 and at another time, within 4
months, a 200-pounel nog wa worm
$10.00. Many carloads were sold at
both prices. There wa a difference of
$16.00 for the man who knew, and
the man who did not know paid for
his lack of knowledge. Every school
should be acquainted with these im
portant facts.

Ten Nights in a Bar Room
The announcement by the Strand
Theatre that they have secured a
showing of a big special, "Ten Nights
in a Barroom" for Thursday and Fri
day will prove of interest to motion
picture fans and to all lovers of the
theatre, lhis famous old Play na?
been a staire favorite for over fifty
years and in book form is said to be
second in point of circulation only to
the Bible. The screen version was
made by L. Case Russell, who has
five hundred produced pictures to her
credit, and she has followed the
story faithfully but has taken full
advantage of the great opportunities
offered by the screen, with the re
sult that the film version shows much
that the stage production was forced
to omit. The picture was directed by
Oscar Apfel and produced by Blazed
Tiail Productions, Inc., in the heart
of the Adirondack?. The star is John
Lowell, who supported by Baby
Ivy Ward, who plays the part of his
daughter, Little Mary Morgan. An
.'xcellent supporting cast aids in niak-
wi the picture a great acting classicJ
:md many special features are prom-
s.'d. A very nne musical setting nas
oeen provided by the Arrow Film
Corporation, who are distributing the
nioduction. A big surprise is prom
:sed th? movie fans in connection
at the Strand Theatre Thursday and
Friday.
"Ten Nights in a Barroom" is
known to almost every man, woman
and child in this country and the pict
ure will be seen with great interest
for the story is one which should lend
itself to the screen far better than
.he average.

Seven Fat Years for This Girl
Gardener
Seven years as a club girl is the I
record of May Belle Brown, of Char
lotte, N. C, who has recently been
?ent a star club pin from the United
States Department of Agriculture.
iay Belle's club membership beftan
in 1912 when she joined a 4H canning
lub with her sister Margaret, and
began raising tomatoes to can.
For 5 years the girls worked their
lats side by side. During the past
,'ew years May Belle has been a local
lub leader, and her success has in
spired newer members. In 1913, May
!el!e and her sister won the State
.ze, a trip to Washington, for to
mato work. They made a nt return
f $212.27 on their joint plat that
jar, after all expenses were paid,
f $106.14 each. In the files of the
'cpartment of Agriculture one of
lay Belle's records ind.cates the rea
ion for her success as follows:
"We find that the fancy grocery
stores are the best places to ge't top-)f-the-market
prices for our toma
:oes, and we never peddle them out
o houses as -ome people do. We
"de as to size and quality and
ack in boxes and get good prices
'or each size. The merchant always
jnowa he will find the fruit the same
ize throughout the pack."
This little girl, nearly 10 years
ago, was instinctively practicing
what ii now advocated as a sound
principle of preparing goods for the
narket.
From tomatoes May B.lle wont to
rrow'ng lettuce too; then a more va-L-d
assortment of vegetables each
ason. She also canned and pre
ened some of the truit on her fa
hei's farm end sold it. May Belle
arned over $500 while in active club
work, in addition to winn'ng a num
ber of prizes and the Washington trip.

Hon. R. A. Morrow, of Monroe En
dorses W. M. Nash For Solicitor
On Saturday, the 3rd dav of June,
1922. the voters of the Thirteenth Ju
dicial District of North Carolina will
nominate a candidate for Solicitor. I
have carefully looked into the record
and qualifications of W. M. Nash of
Hamlet, and do not believe that tne
District will make any mistake in
nominating him. His life and char
acter are unimpeachable. In the few
months that he has held the office, he
has demonstrated his ability. He is
.'air and courteous' to witnesses and
iurors and believe in conducting the
courts with as little expense and time
to the tax payers as possible. I,
.herefore, most heartily indorse his
candidacy and believe that the people
II make no mistake in nominating
him. R. A. MORROW.
Goodbye Oats, If It Rains Much More
VSaxhaw, April 24. The closing ex
ercises of the Reboboth school took
place Thursday and Friday nights of
Inst week. The usual program was
carried out by the pupils, and all ac
quitted themselves creditably, both to
the student body and to the teachers.
The school has enjoyed a very suc
cessful session under the principal-
ship of Prof. B. F. Howie of Minsral
Springs, and Miss Bertha Keep, pri
ma rv teacher, of Gastonin.
IUhoboth hopes to add a ' third
tecchcr to its force for the 1922-23
es8io.i, having already provided in
its new modern building lor a three-
teacher school, and having also shown
the necessary . average attendance
during this outgoing s-.ss'on to en
litle it to this degree of promotion.
Mr. W. G. Helms planted cotton
seed on Saturday, April 15th, and it
immediately turned cold and went to
raining again. Those of ui who are
not vet ready to plant think that Mr.
Helms should have waited a few days,
or at least should have notified las of
his intentions before he proceeded so
far.
We heard a man say yesterday that
Twelve Mile creek, just above Osceo
la, had been all over the bottoms nine
times already this year, and in add!
tion had had its banks full three
other times. He says if it gets out
3nre more right away it will be good
by'oots, so far as these bottoms ar
concerned. .
