THEODORE o WELT

In the death of Theodore Roosevelt the nation loses one of It's
foremost citizens and the world a notable character. His aggressive
Ancricanism and sturdy championship of the cause II the people
everywhere has won for him a place in the hearts of men unsurpassed
ly any figure in history.
His death comes al a great shock to the country. 1t was known
for some time that he was aning and that he had been III the hoSpnal

lot realized. The fact that only Mrs. Roosevelt, OF the entire hOoSe-
,et family. was present when the end came would indicate thai there
MAS n immediate concern al to his condition.
Col. Roosevelt was without a doubt the typical American. NO

1t is not plain to the average person how a full hedged gambling

be operated without the full knowledge of the authorities. The place
was wide open. The prosecutors detectives had no difficulty what

giving the impression that there was nothing to fear.

Georgia Buyers Using North
Carolina Cotton?

(From Progressive Farmer.)
Georgia cotton buyers in great
numbers are coming to North
Carolina, buying all the cotton
possible, and shipping it to Au-
gusta and other Georgia points
for resale as Georgia cotton.
For some time Carolina cotton
has been Disseminated against
in the open market in favor of
the staple grown farther south.
There has been no real reason
for this, finds the North Caro-
lima Division of Markets, but,
since the fact has become gen.
orally known, many buyers are
taking advantage of this dis
crepancy in price, and are ship
ping Carolina cotton to southern
points for resale. Even when
paying the added freight rates,
it is found that they are making
Rockingham post-dispatch. [volume] (Rockingham, N.C.) 1917-1965, 1919-10-30

a profit by this roundabout
transaction.
From reports coming now,
both to the North Carolina
branch of the American Cotton
Association and to the Agricul-
tural Extension Service, the in
dications are that several thou
sands of bales OF. North Carolina
cotton are being purchased this
fall for reshipment. This proves
clearly that the Tar Heel staple
is being Disseminated against
in price as being of inferior quail
ity. The experts of the Division
of Markets state, however, that
the cotton made in this state is
equal in quality to the Georgia
cotton, and should command the
same proportionate price on
grade.
1t appears also that North
Carolina cotton mills would do
we'll to investigate this matter
thoroughly, and try to save
! themselves the money which is
now lost by paying additional
freight charges to and from Au-
gusta and other Georgia points.
