The Robesonian is not given to max
ing excuses, but it feels that it is
proper to explain that much matter
intended for today's paper must be
held over for Thursdays paper on ac-
count tf the fact that our linotype
operator had to be away Friday and
half Of Saturday and it has been i'm
possible to put in type much that
should have been set for this issue.
Among the matter that has to 60 over
is long list of subscribers to Liberty
loan bonds. We regret especially to
leave these names out, but it cannot
be helped. We hope in the next two
issues to catch up, in a measure, with
a mass of correspondence and other
matter that has accumulated during
the past few days.

In regard to the agitation in Con-
gress to control the price of raw cot
ton, Mr.. j. Allen Taylor Of Will
mington in letter to Senator Sim
mons presents strong arguments in
support of his contention that there
is no reason in fixing the price of
the raw material in order to regulate
the price of the finished product. He
shows that manufactured cotton goods
which sell for from "a cents to 81 or
IL pound could be made at a sat-
isfactory profit with raw material ct
SO cents pound, and that the price
of raw cotton is not the controlling
basis for the price of the manufac-
tured stuffs.
