DR. Fl A Palmer, the dentist, has closed
his Office. Last May he had the misfor-
tune to fall in his garden and strike his
left hand on hard patch in such way
as to break the ligaments and bruise the
covering of the many bones. For many
weeks it was feared that the doctor
would lose his hand. He suffered un-
told agony, but under the skillful care
of DR. Woods the hand has been saved
but it will be some time before it can be
used. He has moved his office furniture
up to his house.

greater in accordance. Prof Hutton will

that while the board had not made the
appointment, yet it would be done at the

The farmers are showing activity in
organizing cotton seed oil mills. Yes
terday another of these mills was incor-
porated, the Saint Lewis Oil Mill Com
pany, of st. Lewis, Edgecombe county,
with a capital of 900. Each stock
holders agree to sell the mill 125 bushels
of seed for every share of stock and un-
less this is done, barring crop failure, no
dividend can be drawn. The price paid
for the seed is on this basis, every 1900
pounds of seed contain 40 gallons of oil
zoo pounds of meal, 900 pounds of hulls
and 20 pounds of lint. From the market
value of these products 81 is to be de-
Quoted and the remaining amount is the
price of the seed. The purpose of this
is to cut off the trust profit and pay the
farmer a good price.

H. G. B. BEERS MARKET LETTER
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
New Orleans, La, July 8.-Liverpool
advices are encouraging, consequently
our market opened about points high
er, subsequently improved 1 to 2 addi-
tional on fears that the weekly weather
report might be more favorable than eX-
pected. Upon the issuance of this doc
ument, however, it was considered on the
whole as being favorable and caused a
break of to 10 points from the top, max
ing the net loss to points on the day.
The summary of the weekly report was
as follows: with showers over local
area only and very high temperature the
crop over much the greater portion of the
central and eastern districts of the cot
ton belt has materially deteriorated es-
pecially over the southern portion of the
district named, although considering the
size of the plant it is fruiting well and
| is generally clean. In Tennessee, eX-
: IRENE northern Mississippi, Arkansas,
Missouri, Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory the crop continues in promising
condition, although it is needing cultiva-
ton and making too much weed in por-
tions of Arkansas. In Texas cotton
shows further Improvement and is max
, ing good healthy growth except in the
southwestern and northwestern coun-
, tries where it is at standstill. While
the plant is small it is spreading nicely
and fruiting satisfactorily, but few re-
ports of shedding and boil weevl re-
, ceived." In the itemized weather reports
today the director for Texas says that
during the preceding week 81 per cent.
of the area in cotton in that State re-
ceived rainfall in excess of 2 incres %
per cent. l to 2 inches and Is per cent
less than l inch, and as there has been
more than usual cloudiness during the
week cotton shows further improve
ment We quoted last weeks Texas
report some few days ago and now give
| this weeks, both of which are contra
dictory of the remarks quoted by month
! ly bureau in which it was claimed that
the rains in Texas did little or no good
| From the above it win be seen that the
i States west of thet Mississippi are in
good condition, but rains are needed
| over the greater portion of the central
| and eastern districts.
