There is some talk of establish
ing an oil mill at Clio. Rowland,
Laurinburg, Bennettsvi1le and
several other places in this section
also have one. Why can't our
people see as much money in the
business as our neighbors?,
Farmers are delighted with the
rains of the past week, but are
complaining of the cool nights.
Crops, they say, are doing well,
but then growth is retarded. by the
low temperature at night. This
is especially true of cotton.
| We are sorry to see Mr.. Archie
McNalr going about with the as
slstance of cane. He had an at

The trip through the Holy |
Land given by Rev. ]. T. Belts at
the Presbyterian church last We'd

well as entertaining. Prof. Byrd's
imitation of a mocking bird would
make one hang his head in shame.
1t was splendid.
Marshall Bishop is to be COM
mended for the many improve
ments he is making on the streets
by trimming up the trees and cut
ting down the grass and weeds. It

The report which has been cir
culated around here to the effect
that there were five hundred ca

been over ten cases there this year,
we are glad to learn, and such
report does Laurinburg a great in
justice.
The Maxton Guards and Lum-
Der Bridge Light Infantry have
