fully realize our position" is the
question asked by Mr.. Fee. He paid
"a glowing tribute to Clara Barton

Another big feature of the days

CAUSE LOSS TO FARMERS
Mistaken Zeal of Some Cotton
Weighers Causes Great Deal
of Loss to Cotton Farmers.

Special to The Robesonian.
Raleigh, Nov. Certain sworn
weighers in North Carolina are caus-
ing the farmers in their sections a
great loss because of mistaken zeal
engendered by gratitude and fear of
losing their positions.
According to Mr.. o. ]. Mcconnell
of the cotton grading service, these
weighers refuse to either "scale" a
wet bale or endorse the weight certif-
icate in such manner as will show
that the bale is damp or wet. There
fore, the buyers on some of these
markets, in order to fully protect
| themselves, are assuming that every
bale is wet and has not been "dock-
ed". They are taking care of them.

ton fails to gain any advantage from
the reprehensible action of the weigh

the farmers, as all that the farmel
wants is honest weights. Sworl
weighers who are allowing their yea
to outrun justice and good moral
! should be approached by the farmer
themselves in self protection.

See that your weigher weighs correct

Drop Expected in Prices of Can
ned Goods.

An immediate drop in prices on can
ned vegetables was predicted by the
food administration Thursday as a re-
suit of the operation of the license
system for wholesale dealers. Many
articles of canned goods, it was said,
were bought by dealers at low prices
last spring and can be sold at less
than the present market prices.
Dealers charging more than rea-
sonable profit are liable to forfeiture
of their licenses to do business. Re-
tailers also will be controlled to ar
extent. Those charging more thar
the food administration considers JUS
will find their supplies cut off b!
wholesalers who will cease furnishing

ed with violations of the food law i

This section was visited early Tues

wind storm. We hear of no serious
damage done, only lots of cotton
blown out on the ground.
Picking cotton still seems to be the
order of the day and stealing cotton
seems to be the order of the night,
Tor there were some very bold rob-
bers that visited this community Fri
day night of last week and took cot
| ton from several farmers and also
| visited one farmers garden and took
a big mess of collards. The thief was
going to have something to eat as
well as the cotton, but Rural Police
man Eli Phillips was notified and
was soon on the job to look after the
theft and as we learn he soon cap
tured the thief at Red Springs.
