News from oil sections Of
the state shows that the cot
ton planters held back more
cotton OF last seasons crop
than ever before. Union coun
ty farmers. we are told, have
sold over four thousan nd bales
since July the 4th. In Pitt
county there we're given In by
t q < listers eleven hundred
bales against three hundred
the year before. The Scottish
Chief states that cotton ia
coming in at a rapid rate;
that there we're nearly one
hundred bales sold at Max
ton from wagons the " e 9 k
before and that much more
than double that amount
was expected the co m | n z
week. Very little Of this cot
ton last mentioned is of the
new crop. 1t was principally
old cotton which the farmers
had refused to sell | a g t
spring for six and seven cts.
a pound. and for which they
are now getting over t Q n
cents.
From other sections come
similar reports.
The fact that the farmers
we're able to hold back 30
much cotton shows conclu-
sively that they are, as
a class, in a better financial
condition than they h ave
bee n for a long time, This Is
the first year In mauy that
they have been able to ex-
tend the cotton market thro'
the entire year. Heretofore
the pressing demands ofland
lords and creditors have fore
ed them to put their cotton
on the market asfast as they
could have it picked and gin.
ned. They were at the mercy
of the men TO whom t h z y
owed money az rent or for
supplies. The past year many
OF them become independent t
OF these creditors. Ifthey will
be juaicous and economical
for the next year or 40 they
will become still more inde-
pendent and will soon be able
to make the receipts of one
crop pay the expenses OF rails
ing the next, instead OF, as In
the past, mortgaging the en-.
tire crop before it is planted
and feeling at the end Of the
year they have been fortu.
nate If they have made en-
ough to satisfy the''demands
of landlords and furnisheI q Oi
supplies and can start t h e
next crop without carrying
over a debt from the ! a 8 t
year and making it an adj.
tional lien on the crop to be
raised. When the farmer can
thus becomo independent he
will soon begin to add each
year to his savings. This will
result in fewer tenant farm
ers and owners of small prof
table farms.

SUDDEN APPEARANCE DECO

The High School Committee of the
Board of Education, consisting of Direc-
.ors William A. Lewis, L. p. Lyons and
Frederick Diffenbach, has summoned
Superintendent of Schools Henry Snyder,
Principal Hopkins, of the High School,
and Thomas O'Nein, a sixteen-year-old
pupnl, to investigate the hazing of young
O'Neill by members of the Forensic So
ciety. The lad recently was elected
member of the Society and was duly and
truly initiated. The meeting was held
in the Chemical classroom O'Neill was
stripped to the waist and blindfolded.
Two bottles of iodine were secured and
one of the members with propensity for
drawing animals, insects, reptiles, ETC.,
decorated the upper portion of O'Neill's
body with natural looking snakes, drag
0ns and other horrible looking things
painted with the iodine The victims
shoes were taken off and lowered by
rope to a window of the room below,
in which a meeting was at the same
time being held by the Delphian So
ciety, a secret organization Of the High
School girls. When the girls saw the
shoes dangling in front of the window
they suspected that the members of the
Forensic Society were playing a trick on
them and to get square they swiped
young O'Neill's shoes.
O'Neill, still blindfolded and decorated
with the iodine snakes and dragons, was
led to the door of the girls secret society
room below. His shoes were demanded
by the hazers, but were refused. The
door was broken open and O'Neill was
pushed inside. The sight Of him fright
ened the girls half out of their wits.
They put their hands to their eyes, and,
screaming, stampeded and rushed pell-
nell out of the room through another
door.
One of the members of the Delphian
Society told the story to girl graduate
of the school. She thought it too good
to keep. She told it to her papa. Papa
also thought it good story and told it
at his club. One of the School Directors
overheard it and he told it to a member
of the High School Committee. who did
not consider it a joke. Hence the inyes-
tigation. which viii take place at Thurs
day nights meeting.

George i. Record, who is fighting
Mayor Fagan's battles to down Col.
Dickinson and the Republican machine,
issued statement yesterday which was
practically an appeal to the Republican
voters to sustain the Fagan-Record COM
bination at the primaries. Record, as he
did in the recent campaign, referred to
Col. Dickinson as 'sboss" and said that
if he were allowed to continue at the
head of the Republican party it would
mean its overthrow. Record was care
full not to say that he believed that he,
himself, would make a better boss than
Col. Dickinson and that his fight is not
50 much to remedy alleged evils in the
party as to get control of the machine.
so that he, and not Col. Dickinson,
would pull the string.

The Chancellor apparently did not view
with favor the application. He seemed
surprised that Justice Dixon had had
before him a similar application and had
denied it on the ground that the Republi-

as social club. He lisened attentiyely,
however, to the arguments advanced for
and against the motion. When the hour
of adjournment was reached, arguments
were still on and will be resumed today.

was favorably considered and Edward
W. Woolley. the supposed candidate of
Mayor Fagan, it was learned, was not

Marshal.

From talks witr the individual Alder
men, the impression was gained that it
is not altogether certain that the fifteen
Republicans will work in harmony.
Much depends on who are decided upon
for the offices. If only men known to be
favorable to Mayor Pagan and his fac.
ton in the party are chosen. there will
be a split. There are at least three out
and-out organization Aldermen who are
not willing that the Dickinson faction
shall be ignored. Unless these Aldermen
are placated combination between them
and the ten Democrats is not improbable.

of the Board Of Aldermen, called for last
night a caucus of the Republican MEM
bers of the Board. Twelve of the if

tion to meet with Mr.. Mccarthy and
discuss with him the appointments that
are to be made. The three absentees
We're Alderman Spaugh of the Sixth and
the two members from the Twelfth
Ward The capcus lasted two hours
and at its conclusion Mr.. Mccarthy told
the reporters that while the various cam
didates for the different positions We're
discussed, nothing definite was decided
on.
sThe Republican majority, however"
said Mr.. Mccarthy. "will stand together
and representative Republicans will be
chosen for the different offices at the
Boards disposal. This much was agreed
TO. "A fagan Republican Will nave no
greater advantage than a Dickinson Re
publican. The offices will go to Repub-
licans whose loyalty to the party is un-
questioned. There is no truth in the re-
port that there will be any defections.
The three Aldermen who were absent
from to-night's conference had business
engagements that prevented them from
being present. They regretted their in
ability to attend and sent word that they
would stand by the action of the con-
ference. While several names were mem
toned for the positions to be filed, no
vote was taken and as the matter now
stands it is impossible to tell who will
be the fortunate ones. We will have
another conference next week when it is
probable slate will be fixed up"
