Elizabeth City Economist: On
Wednesday MI. G. W. Hollowell, Sec
rotary of the Pasquotank Farmers
Club and one of the most prominent
farmers of the county, was in the
Economist Office showing us some of
the disastrous work of the weevil.
He had with him one Of the weevils,
which is of a dark color and about
the size of a potato bug, and several
cotton bolls which the bug had de-
stroyed. Mr.. Howell said he had no
ticed within the last few days several
dead bolls in his cotton fields, but did
not know the until Wednesday,
when he made an examination and
discovered the weevil. This is a mis-
take. It was not weevil. See letter
of Prof. Mccarthy on page ED.

Charlotte Observer: 1t was said
in the Greensboro correspondent of
The Observer of yesterday that in
some sections of the State the Watts
law is a dead-ltter. The Greensboro
Record has said practically, the same
thing. Assuming this to be true, the
reason is not far to seek. The eve
nue. officers are at enmity with it,
and the State officers have never ad-
dressed themselves to the enforce
ment of laws prohibiting the manu-
facture of liquor, leaving that duty
to the officers of the general govern
ment, and they cannot readily get in
the way of it. In other words, no
body frets especially for the enforce
ment of the new State law, and it
would be rather remarkable under the
circumstances if it were enforced.
Col. Odds: While it seems to be
admitted that the greatest percentage
of illiteracy among whites is in cot
ton mill counties, yet as the State
Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton says, this condition will not con-
tinue long. The leading mill men are
enthusiastically pushing the public
school work at their respective mills
and this is having a powerful effect
on other other mill men, who are fol
lowing so good an example. At one
time some of the officials thought the
mill owners might be in a large de-
gree responsible for illiteracy among
mill employees, but they find upon a
| critical examination that it is the
parents, the fathers of the children,
who are really~to blame. Not a few
of these fathers offer their children
for work and say they don't care for
them to go to school, and tell the
mill owner that if he does not employ
them they will be taken somewhere
else. The new law regarding child
labor in the mills will have a good
| effect, though it is really but a begin
ming.

A base ball nine from Spokane
came here last Sunday and
crossed bats with the home team
on the Rathdrum diamond. The
visitors came Haunting their
laurels and to satiate their de-
sire for fame, glory and areputa-
ton for invincibility. They re-
turned home, shorn OF their gay
scalps under a cloud OF defeat,
the skies weeping over their dis
comfiture. The game was the
best that has been played here,
this season. The Rathdrum bat
terry was: Leland pitcher, Nc
Nabb catcher; Spokane: Good
win pitcher, Harrington catcher
}. c. Callahan was umpire. The
game was interesting through
out and was witnessed by a big
crowd. Rathdrum was in the
lead from the start. At the End

It'll it was about 11-6, and the
9th inning closed the game r.

are now at the highest point in the his
tory of the clearing house. On March I
last year the previous high record OF
S93S. 000, 900 was touched. but the expansion
of $13,975.300 reported in Saturdays bank
statement brings the current total to
records The remarkably steady rise in
loans IS not easily explainabie. but ii has
to do with corporation financing and ex-
change operations rather than current op-
erations. or more properly speaking. with
requirements measured by the usual
standards. The sudden flood of cash
which has been pouring into the banks
with the opening of the year is losing its
force somewhat. but the movement IS
still in this direction. despite the unfa-
orable showing in the current exhibit.
