. D
COTTON SEED AT
A SPLENDID PRICE
Increase in the Price of Oil and
Linters the Cause of the Prevail
ing High Market.

Not only are the prices of cotton
remarkably good, but the seed are
selling at splendid prices-$4, 500 pei
ton for wagon seed and $4,000 in
carload lots. Seed sold at $50 q
short time Saturday
The prices this season are far in
advance of last years prices and also
are way beyond the price of year be-
fore last. Last season about this
time the seed were selling from $27
to $50 per ton. Year before last the
seed were selling at from SIT to $50
per ton.
The increase in the price of cotton
seed oil and the high prices prevail
ing for linters explain the unusual
prices being paid for seed.

NEGRO AUTOMOBILES
PLENTIFUL AND RECKLESS
They Initiate Some of Their White
Friends in Joy Riding.

The old adage that what a white
man does will be soon initiated by the
negro is being amply demonstrated
by many of the brothers in black ac-
curing the ownership of automobiles
of all descriptions. Some of the ne
gro drivers are as careful and consid-
crate as some white drivers, but there
ere exceptions, like there are excep-
tons among the whites, and these ex-
ceptions of both colors are becoming
menace to the highway. Sunday
afternoon a citizen driving car with
his family on the Graves road had a
narrow escape from being run into by
car loaded with negroes. He had
to run his machine into small ditch
on the roadside to avoid collision.
