bait as that. This is trick to put the
cotton in the hands of the people who
need it and should offer frankly a
fair price now. For Gods sake and
your country's sake, farmers, don't
grow stick and cut it and hand over
TO a man to whack you over the head
with it.
'Jf there were not another bale OF
cotton sold for the next 80 days, at
least 90 per cent. of the mills of the
world would have to stop. They TAX
about surplus but when it comes to a
show down, there is not spinnable
cotton to be found. want to say to
the farmers, You've got this situa-
ton completely in your own hands
and if you give away this cotton. you
have got nobody to blame but your
self.
"Now, / want to urge every farmer
and business man and professional
man that's in business of any kind to
join the American Cotton ASS DC. alton
This organization is going to accom-
plish what it was intended to do-for
the farmer to be able to say TO the
world, You have got to give me le-
gitimate and a just price to leave me

this. Cooperating through this or

the meeting in New Orleans on the

say what the cost of production this

PLANNED ROWLAND ROBBERY
Auto Tire Salesman Who Made FIRE.
quent Trips to Dillon Said to be
Implicated.

According to a Rowland business
man who was in Dillon few days ago
the postoffice robbery at Rowland
was well-planned. An automobile tire
salesman who made frequent trips to
Dillon and is well-known among local
automobile dealers is credited with
having planned the robbery which re-
suited in the looting of the postoffice
safe and the stealing of bonds valued
at S2500.00.
Two weeks before the robbery, so
the story goes, the tire salesman
bo :ght second hand Ford at Ham
er and carried it to Rowland where
Il.. stv: eG it in a garage and told the
IpropT ttor that ne had friend who
va; an IApert whu would be thes,
Ii a few days and put the "a" ) FIST
class shape. In few days the sales
mans friend arrived and went to-
work on the car. He worked there
about two weeks, making frequent
trips to the postoffice to enquire If
he had any mail.
The morning after the robbery the
automobile mechanic was not to be
found, but no one paid any particu-
lar attention to his absence until it
was suggested that probably he had
had some connection with the rob-
berry. The officers got busy and sent
out description of the mechanic and
he was overtaken at Fayetteville.
c. F. Hartverth and William Sails
bury, said to be from New York, and
John c. Davis of Cumberland county
were arrested in connection with the
robbery and are in Robeson county
Jail awaiting the next term Of the
Federal court. The fourth man hose
name is not given has not been ar
rested.

QUESTIONS REPORT
OF COTTON CROP
Commissioner of Agriculture Advises
Farmers to Hold Until Mini
mum is Fixed.

There is something rotten in Den
mark" says Commissioner Harris, IN
discussing the cotton situation. "Who
is to blame for it? The truth VIII
come out in the washing, within the
next 80 days and we will see VINO is
the best guesser on the cotton crop
conditions"
Mr.. Harris evidently is skeptical as
to the accuracy of the government
crop estimates and condition reports
'.I see" says Mr.. Harris that the Au-
gust 25, 1919, condition report for
the belt is GIL and the August con-
dition report for 1918 is 81. This is
remarkable. In fact have never
known anything like his before. The
estimate made for the 1919 crop is
11,23O,OO0 bales. We all know that
to take the situation in the entire cot
ton belt the cotton crop is the poor
est prospect has been planted, &C
cording to the acreage.
II am afraid that the estimators
have been judging the size of the weed
instead of looking for the fruit, as
the weed this year is very receptive.
If the condition in South Carolina is
what it has been semiofficially esti-
mated South Carolina will do well
this year to make 1,125,O0O bales, as
the size of the crop this year Will De
: about the same as 1918.
"While the crop conditions are the
poorest ever known, If the true facts
are given. and the world is facing a
famine in both the raw product and
the finished goods, yet there is today
without reason, the greatest bear
drive in the history of cotton. one
object of this is to drive spots down.
"But the principal object OF this
bear raid is to save the hides OF the
bear spectators, who have been try
ing to get rich at the expense OF the
producer. There must be heavy de-
liyeries in October. for the bear spec
ulators have sold futures and they
know that they are going to be called.
They also know that some OF the flrst
cotton picked out will be sold. Their
intention is to try to beat down the
spots market so that they may get
this early cotton as cheap as posslbie
for they know that in the next 80
or 40 days cotton will be selling very
much higher than thapresent prices.
81 hope that the farmers will real
ize that the cotton sold on New York
cotton exchange is board cotton, and
does not represent actual and spinna-
BILE cotton. Do not be influenced by
these quotations to think that spot
cotton is going down. If the farmers
were to withhold their cotton from the
market and not sell a bale for the
next 80 days, you would see cotton
ranging in price above 35 cents. Re-
member if spot cotton goes down,
the farmer is to blame and nobody
else.
sI hear of cotton buyers in South
Carolina offering farmers 20 cents on
their cotton if they will sell 1t, and
turn it over to the buyers. who VIII
take it now and settle in full when-
ever the farmer demands. the trans
action to be closed out at the prevail
ing price any day the farmer names:

Birmingham to Have
 Abundant Christmas

1NHIS is going to be one of the
 < best Christmas seasons the people of Birmingham ever celebrated and everybody is going to get gift of some kind, judging from the re- ports that come out of the stores and the thousands of persons carrying packages as they go homeward bound.
 Merchants say that it is less trou- rble to sell goods this year than at any other time in the history of the city, and the purchasers do not ques- tion or haggle about prices. When they see what they want, they order and then ascertain the price, paying whatever it may be without hesita- tion or protest.
 The people of Birmingham and all of this district have been very busy all yeax and they have made money. They have the money now and they are spending it.
 And conditions are going to be bet ter next year. They are bound to be. There is demand for coal and iron that the mines and the furnaces in the Birmingham district cannot supply, and the other things made here are in equally as great demand. From the smallest factory to the largest the books are filled with orders that s will keep them running indefinitely and inquiries for their products are < coming in with every mail. Birmingham will celebrate Christ mas this year with greater enthusi- !. asm and enter into the spirit of the : occasion with a greater zest than in { former years, because the conditions gre better, the people are happier, business is booming and everybody is prosperous and looking to the fu- . ture with higher hopes and Iaspira- 4 tionS

TIARAs DEMODEDr

From the New York Evening Sun.
 A story comes from London that the Duchess of Marlborough had sent "one of her old tiaras to auction" at Chris ties, and that it had been sold for f25.eoo. The purchaser was said to be intending to "break it up."
 Breaking up 2 duchess's tiara Is not quite equivalent to sending house. wreckers to Blenheim; but the impli- cation is strong that such echoes of royalty as tiaras and coronets are tenn porarily demoded; out of fashion; not worn this year. The purchaser of the Marlborough tiara could doubtless have sold his bargain to come distinguished profiteeress for good price. but he prefers to ride on the popular wave and divide the ducal property among several owners. He will not lose money. probably. by so doing. And since the Marlboroughs may have one or two left, no harm is done to anybody and the auctioneer gets his commission.
