He is a graduate Of the department Of
geology of the University of North

represented three months work in
the Cook Inlet Susitna and Yukon

928 BALES OF COTTON
GINNED IN CATAWBA

Newton. Oct. 30.-Up to the 18th
Catawba county ginned 92s bales of
cotton against 1926 bales in 1914. 1t
is very generally predicted that the
crop, owing to reduced acreage, cur
tailed fertilizers and unfavorable
weather conditions, will not be more
than one-half the usual crop, which
runs from 1000 to 10000 bales. Last
year low wpriced cotton played a big
part in local politics and was q potent
reason for the county changing from
Democratic to Republican; and sew
era1 we'll known Republican farmers,
believing that the staple would sell
around SIX cents again this year be-
cause Of the presence of a Democrat
in the White House, didn't plant q
stalk of cotton. They are very much
changed this fall and some of them
have sworn never again win they be-
heve that politics affects the price of
cotton.
Minnie Cline, a coIored woman Of
Conover, who is q dope fiend, split the
town open last night in the run to a
local drug store with a prescription
for morphine, emitting warhoops as
she sailed through the court square,
and when she reached the store. exc
Cuted the war dance in the lobby
TWO negroes lOafing near the entrance
reached UP and got their hats and
left out from there, for the negroes
look on the woman with some super
stition. She was taken to Jail for the
night and something will likely be
done to get her in a hospital She
has been working like a slave to make
enough to keep her in dope, and she
uses a dollars worth a day.

Rocky Mount Tobacco.

Rocky Mount, Oct. 30.-The re-
Ceipts for the past week have been
rather smaller than expected, amount
ing to about 1,25o,000 pounds at an
average of s14.0O per hundred. This
brings the total for the season to date
to about 900 pounds at an aver
age Of S1284 for the season, being a.
gain Of nearly 500,0 900 pounds and a
slight increase in total average over
the past season. It is estimated that
fully half the crop has been sold to
date.
The offerings have not been as good
as former weeks; the crop having lost
color since being cured, and a larger
proportion Of undesirable tobaccos, Of
undecided character showing un
daily. Wrappers, however, continue
to appear in liberal quantities and the
competition is stronger than for sew
| eral years past, some bringing as high
| as $1,000 per hundred, and many piles
selling from $4,000 to $4,000.
| Prices on the medium grades have
advanced during the week and the
! planters have been highly satisfied.
