Growth of Cotton Last Week.

The Memphis Commercially
peal 5 weekly cotton review pub
lished Yesterday, said:
The decline in the condition
of the cotton plant which set in
several weeks ago has been check
ed in the two CarolinaS, Georgia
and Alabama. or has ceased al
together by reason of more ia
vorable weather, rain having fall
len in the Carolinas and dry
weather Supervened in the two
latter States. Cotton is early
in the Atlantic States and with
out more rain will open rapid
ly.
A fair crop is assured and a
large one seems a possibility de-
spite the deterioration that has
been suffered.
In Mississippi Tennessee, Ar
kansas and Louisiana excessive
rainfall continued during the
week and some of the reports
take a very gloomy outlook of
view. The chief damage has re-
suited from shedding of young
forms by reason of the rank
growing of the stalks and from
boil weevils in the southern part
of this valley territory. 1t is
evident however, that bright
weather would vastly reduce
present estimates of damage.
In Oklahoma and Texas pc
Rod of extreme heat accompanied
by a burning sun and hot winds
caused a quick setback to cotton
which had but lately taken Oh
fresh growth fir ON rain. The
plant was being forced to an ear
~ maturity, hut rains toward
the close of the week put an enc
to the condition and hold out 4
promise of better returns mex
week. AS most correspondents
state, there is yet time to derive
benefits from the rains.
Cotton is moving very freel,
to market where any picking il
being done.

Found Remarkable Change Il
His Old Section.

Last Thursday morning Mr.. j.
NJ. Farley slipped out Of town
and treated himself to a three
days stay down in Scotland eoun-
IL in the section where he was
reared. which was then koheson
county. lie had not hcen in that
immediate part of the county IN
ten or fifteen years and he just
got hungry TO 90 down and see
the old place. OF course he
was prepared to find great chan
ges, hut nothing like what he re-
ally saw. That is the section that
has been made into new earth
by the introduction of heavy
commercial fertilizing. Mr.. Fair
ley saw a track of land that the
owner had once tried to sell him
for twenty-five cents an acre
Only a part of it is IN eultl-
walton, but the owner gets SIX
hundred a year rent for it. Mr.
Farley didn't buy il when it was
ON the low price market way back
Wonder for he had some of hlS
own at the same time that he
wanted to sell and eouldn I. The
small county of Scotland has
graded sand ebay roads and con-
crete bridges and 81 big auto
mobiles TO run over them. a re
markable thing is that several
eolored farmers own machines
The crops of Scotland and Robe
son are excellent. Mr.. Farley
says as you leave here and start
on the train the fields look like
fifteen cents cotton but when
YOU get down there il looks like
five cents. Land rents for ten
dollars an acre in many cases
and a good many eolored tenants
are leaving the highest price see
ton and going further up and
buying land Of their own. Much
of the land is owned in big
tracts and fields of five or six
hundred acres are seen in cult
walton.

Stop Loafing at the Depot.

The railroad people are com
planning very much of the loaf
ing that has become so bad
about the depot here. They say
that crowds of people 20 down
there that have no business but
to look, and that this has become
so had that at some of the trains
il is almost impossible for pas
sengers To get off, or to aud
from trains. The station is also
crowded and it is often next to
impossible for passengers to get
TO the ticket windows. The hab-
it that people have of loaflng
at the station is much worse here
than at any other place ON
the line. and is really great
nuisance. There is town ordi-
ance against people congregatlng
about the station unless they
have business, but the railroad
people say they do not wish to
appeal to the law until the mat
ter had been called to the at
tention of the people, thinking
that when il becomes known that
the custom is real hindrancC
to the work of the train people
and the travelling public it will
cease.

Young Man Shot Too Quick.

At Goldsboro the other day
the sheriff flushed a covey Of
crap shooters, three whites and
a negro. The negro ran and the
officer gave chase, shooting in
the ground to brighten the flec-
ing man. Young Burke Privett,
a drug clerk, saw the negro run
ming and the officer in pursuit,
and in his excitement supposed
a dangerous criminal was st
large and was about to escape
Selling a pistol he joined in the
chase and firing on the negro
dangerously wounding him.
Young Privett thought he was
doing right but he may get in
to serious trouble, as he had
not been deputied and his act
was a violation of the law.

No Danger.

Ii seems to be the opinion of
some people in this section Of
the county ,hat an effort will be
made to tax the townships
through which the proposed aIl-
tomobile road from Charlotte TO
Wilmington will pass to help to
build this road. AS to whether
such an effort will be made we
are not prepared to say, but we
want to go on record right now
as opposing a tax for this pur-
pose. If the farmers of this or
any other township want to tax
themselves to build good roads
over which to haul their produce
to market, we have nothing TO
say, but to compel the citizen
ship as a whole to construct a
road for automobilists is quite a
different thing.-Ow Home.
(Of course these fears are not
well founded. In the first place
the project of opening this high.
way has fallen through. In the
next place the people cannot be
taxed for a thing like this un-
less they vote il on themselves,
and there is not a possibility of
their ever being even asked to
do this.-The Journal

$1,000 for remodelng the station. It

1t $ contended by the West Siders
chat $1,000 is available, but some Of
the members wanted to keep that for
emergency. Morrison contended that

the city take care of its fremen. The
