may be inaugnrated and maintained:
A fire alarm service, a better street

would enable the city to pull itself
out Of the financial hole 1t has long
been in must not be looked for, how

The body Of young Lloyd Andrews,
who was washed out through the in
let opposite Middle Sound about seven
weeks ago and drowned, was recover
ed late yesterday afternoon between
four and five o'clock floating in the
water in the front OF Masons store in
Middle Sound. A peculiar coincidence
in Connection with the finding of the
body is that it was recovered on al
most the exact spot from which the
young man started on his trip across
the sound.
The details in connection with the
drowning of Andrews are easily re-
called. In company with several
friends he was spending the day at
Middle Sound. In the afternoon with
a companion, Mr.. w. C. Lindley, the
two put off in a small skif and started
across the sound toward the beach.

going to hunt marshens. That was

or the Advantage { o the Whole South
From the Cotton Growers AsSocia-
ton.

A rather interesting story Of the
Bankers Convention of Winston has
just been told. We have o seen 1t in
print.
1t seems that President c. c. Moore
OF the North Carolina division Of the
Southern Cotton Association was a
guest Of the convention and made an
address. President Finley Of the South
ern Railway was of course one OF the
principal speakers. Mr. Moore in
course of his address on what the
cotton movement was doing for the
prosperity of the state and south, turn
ed TO Mr.. Finley, who was seated on
the platform and said:
Mr. Finley, when did the Southern
Railway begin the work Of double
tracking the SYSTEM"
Mr.. Finley replied that he did not
remember the exact time, that work
having been begun before his admins
tration
Pressed for an answer to the best
of his recollection. Mr.. Finley said
that the double tracking had begun
about two years or eighteen months
ago
Mr.. Moore: Now sir. will you say
what it was that enabled the Southern
Railway to undertake such a vast
work?
Mr.. Finley: 81 should say the in
creasing prosperity of the south, the
country through which the Southern
passes"
Mr.. Moore: Eyes. sir, but I think I
can give % a more specific reason.
Let us say the double tracking began
two years ago. Now, two years and a
half ago the cotton movement for
higher prices for raw material was
inaugurated in New Orleans. Cotton
was then bringing an average of
about Six cent a pound. In six weeks
after the minimum price acceptable
was put at ten cents. we fioated sixty
million dollars upon the south over
and above what it generally had re-
ceived at that season for the cotton
crop. In four months we had f1oated
an additional two hundred million
dollars. When we go that extra two
hundred million, you began to double
track your road.
After the meeting Mr.. Finley told
Mr.. Moore that he had been greatly
impressed with his argument and want
ed TO know more of the cotton move
maOt and Mr. MOora L;n,cc1F
That was rather an ingenius and
novel way Mr.. Moore adopted of bring
ing home his argument to show the
benefit to the entire south Of the stand
the cotton growers have taken with
such notable success already. g
A great many people still have the
idea that it is the work of the cotton
farmers for their. own advantage SOLE
