RECORDS FOR YEARS BROKEN ~
TRANSACTIONS OF LAST TEN
DAYS.
ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE
PASS TO NEW OWNERS
Eishty.Fivs Of These Ars Farm Lands
Comprising 8,53s Acres Thirty.
Seven City and Town Properties In.
eIudsd in List-Mortsasss Given on
Ninsty.Fivs Of the Farms.

More farms, tracts of land, and town
and city properties have been sold and
actually transferred during the past
ten days in the county than probably
during any similar period in many
years. During the ten days, ending with
Friday night, there took place the ac-
tual transfer of properties that had
been sold or negotiated for during the
entire year. The volume of the bust
ness. thru the recorders office and
thru banks, indicates that it was q
record breaker
During the ten days from Feb. % TO
March Z, both inclusive, agricultural
land and town property of a value of
s1.36l ,05O was sold. The list of these
properties includes eighty-five farms
or tracts of land and thirty seven
town and city properties. The price COR
the farm lands was s1,196.05O. and for
the city properties S165.250. These
prices are those given in the deeds,
and some estimates are made where
no price was given. These estimates
were based on what other lands of
the same neighborhood were sold for.
Previous Records Broken.
The farm lands sold comprised S.5SS
acres. or thirteen and one-half sec
lions. The average and total price ex-
coed all previous records. Summarized
to make a comparison these figures
run:
This year eighty-five farms and
tracts Of S,53s acres were sold &c: 81
1aS,050.
Last year fifty-four farms Of 5,56S
acres were sold for s724,752.
In 1911 ffty-seven farms of 4.2o1
acres were sold for s599.4sO.
In ninsty-five of the 122 transac-
lions mortgages were given by the
purchasers. In most cases the mortgage
was given back to the seller as part
OF the purchase price. The aggregate
of these mortgages was $67S.s70. This
does not include mortgages that were
already on the land that were assumed
by the buyer
City Deal the largest.
Altho the transactions in city and
town property were few in number.
and for small amount as compared
with the farm sales, the largest single
transaction OF the ten days was a
sale OF city property. the Woodbury.
block, which was bought by B. F. Cum
mings and Frank Brennecke.
The largest single farm sale was a
320-acre farm that was sold for 49,
720. One 240-acre farm was sold for
$4,000. 200-acre farm was sold for
$4,000. and there were several single
sales that were for $4,000 or more.
Banks Have Been Busy.
The reason for the large volume OF
this business this year is probably due
to such good crops last season and
such general prosperity in the count.
During the ten days all the banks of
the city and the county have had their
share in these transactions. The de-
tailed work required to handle it has
been enormous. 1t is conservatively es-
timated that from 81, 900, 900 to $780,
600 was handled thru the local banks
in negotiating the transactions that
were closed. They handled a great deal
OF 1t, but not all. as much OF it passed
thru the banks of the small towns OF
the county

The passage by the Senate Of North
Carolina Of the employers liability act,
introduced by Senator Bryant, Of Dur
ham, is a matter which will be ap-
proved throughout the State, for it
gives to railroad employees who may
be injured while engaged in intra-
state traffic the same rights now en-
Interstate traffic.
The bill Of Representative Kellum,
Of New Hanover, is now pending in
the House. 1t is Of Tx import to that
Of Senator Bryant, and the indications
are that it will be speedily passed. As
the law OF North Carolina it will be
simply an act of justice to railroad
employees in this State.
The bills of Senator Bryant n Of
Representative Kellum have had an
easy time at this session, and this re-
calls that they are the same measure
for which Hon. George w. COnnOr,
now Speaker of the. House, worked SO
earnestly in 1909 and again in 1911. In
1909 the bill of Representative Con-
nor was reported favorably to the
House by the close vote Of 9 to s, and
in that body it's defeat was by 70 to SO.
In 1911 the same bill was reported
favorably by the judiciary committee
with considerable opposition and
again lost by the narrow margin OF
80 to 81. This time the measure has
had a smooth passage and there is
every indication that the House will
unite with the Senate in making it a
law. Though Mr.. Connor's bill did
not become a law. yet the campaign OF
education which they started have un.
d%oubtedly had a good influence in the
the measure.

ONE WAY TO INCREASE
FARM PROFITS THIS YEAR
Your profit from your farming
i sincerely the difference between
what YOU get for your crops and
what it costs you to produce them.
If cotton sells for twelve cents a
pound and you make 80 pounds
to the acre at a cost of nine cents
a pound your profit is $40 per
acre. If cotton sells for ten cents
a pound and you make 500 pounds
per acre at a cost Of seven cents j
pound. your profit on an acre is
SIS. In other words. there are
two ways for you to increase YOUR
profits. One is to get more for
what YOU make; the other is to
make it at less cost.
You ought to make an effort
along both these lines; but the
latter one is the more important.
both because the individual can do
more to cheaper production than
to raise prces and because the av-
erage cost Of production is more
above what it should be than the
average prices received for farm
products are below a fair standard.
The first thing to do to reduce
the cost of production is to III.
crease the average yield per acre.
The average crop in the South is
not a profitable crop. You must
make more than. 18o pounds Of
cotton or IS bushels of corn per
acre If you make much money

You can increase our average
