THE HICKORY DEPOT NATTER.
The corporation commission today
made an order in the case of the cit
liens of Hickory against the Southern
railway and the Carolina and NORTH
western railway. this being a retitiOn
for freight depot facilities. The >aSe
was heard September 18th. On Deem
Der 9th, 1908, an order was made on
the defendant directing him to enlarge
the freight facilities. The Southern

Z enjOined. The commission made an
order that the two roads should pro-
vide within thirty days from December

for handling freight. The commits

GATHERING OF COTTON GROWERS
During the state fair there viii be
perhaps the largest gathering of cotton
growers that Raleigh HIS ever seen.
This is called by President Charles
G.. Moore of the North Carolina AssO-
citation, and he will be a speaker and
worker, as will also be President Har-
vie Jordan Of the Southern Asso ia
tiCn and President E. D. Smith Of the
South Carolina aSSOci2 ton. The lest
Informed cotton men know full we'll
the situation at present, and appre-
ciate the difficulty of getting the small
farmers in line. There are Ger an
| formers who cannot be held TO any
agreement, no matter what they may
be unless they see immediate profit in
it, n tire are some who are sus-
picious Of their lest friends. These
present the greatest problem to the
cotton growers who want to main
tain prices. The vel informed far
mers are fully conscious of the
power which could be axerted if there
was complete unity, but they know
that this is a We K pOinr, the small
farmers and the tenant farmers.
A letter from Secretary T. X. Bruner,
of the board Of agriculture, who is at
Bo tn preparing he North Carolina
exhibit at the Fo0d Fair, says that
everything is vorFing very well. OF
course he is very hard al work.
Next month the work Of ~beautifyinS
