Cotton Ginning.

The number of bales of cotton
ginned to Nov. Nth was S,920,77 as
compared. with 7,6O4,32O to same
date last year, and S,7O6,0OO in 1918;
or 1449,000 bales for the period from
Nov. 1st to 14th as against 1,229,000
same period last year and $4,000
year before last.
Ginning for North Carolina sol, ,158
as against 6O2,3S6 to same date last
year. South Carolina 1,197,797 as
against .h1S5,O21 last year.
The amount of cotton ginned
in Richmond county to Nov. 14th
is 14,7H bales, as compared with
15,473 to same date last year.
This is only 696 bales behind last
years figures, and it would now
seem that this 1920 crop will
come up to the bumper crop of
18,769 bales made last year.

1870 REDUCTION
A 15% Reduction in Nine
( Rockingham Cotton Mills
to Become Effective Next
Monday. These Mill Still
Making Full Time.


With fully half the cotton mills
of the United States shut down,
many of the remainder running
on short time, with greatly re.
.duced wages, it is refreshing,
and speaks volumes, for the man
agement of the cotton mills sur
rounding Rockingham that they
have maintained full time. They
have continued operation on full
time, even though by so doing
they operated at a big loss.
Effective next Monday these
nine mills will inaugurate a Is
per cent reduction in wages, but
will continue full operation un-
less perchance business condi-
tions should later become worse.

one mile from Jackson Springs, in
Moore county, Saturday, and broke
up a 60-gallon copper still. 1t was
within 125 yards of the residence of
Will McMasters, white. The officers
approached McMasters' house and
saw him at the crib giving a drink
of blockade whiskey to man. He
was arrested and brought to Rock
ingham, where he was given a
hearing before U. S. Commissioner
Guthrie on the charge of removing
and concealing. The commissions er
bound him over to March term OF
Federal court at Laurinburg under
5000, which McMasters himself
readily gave.

HAMLET LOSES

vi 4t- b 3. = =
The Wilmington Highs walked
away with the Hamlet Hights at
Hamlet last Saturday afternoon
with a score Of 81 to nothing.
But though soundly licked, the
Hamlet lads fought gamely to
the bitter end. Homewood, of
State College, was referee, and
caves perfect satisfaction. There
was not a particle of kicking.
This eliminates our neighboring
boys from further participation
in the University finals.

VERY. MUCH ALIVE.

On Wednesday of last week Frank
Townsend, colored, of Rockingham,
received a telegram from Winston,
signed by Holland LeGrand," stat
ing that his son, Ludolphus, was
dead and for him to wire 500 if he
wanted the body shipped home.
Frank forthwith wired the amount
to Holland" and next morning
sent another of his sons to Winston
to accompany the body home. When
the young man reached Winston he
found that Ludolphus was not only
not dead, but had not been sick-in
fact, he was "a very. live man.
There are quite a number of
Richmond county negroes in Win
ston, and these began pointing their
finger at Frank Wall as being the
Holland LeGrand' who wired and
secured the money, though they
had no direct evidence. Frank
heard the rumors and Indignantly
denied same, showing his innocence
by going to the chief of police and
inquiring whether warrant was
out for him or not. The chief in
formed him that there was no war
rant for this, but that he wanted
him on another warrant charging
him with disposing of mortgaged
property in Wolf Pit township. He
was locked up, and Sunday officer
J. B. Reynolds went to Winston and
brought Frank back to Rockingham
Jail to await a hearing on this
charge. 1t is probable Frank Town.
send will have a charge against
him for the bogus death deception.

LITTLE CHANGE IN

ONLY ON SUGAR HAS THERE

DECLINE TO CONSUMER.

So far as groceries and food pro.
ducts are concerned there is practi-
cally no change in the price sitlia-
ton. Sugar is the only food commod.
ity that has really had any tumble
in pr &C of any consequence to the
consumer. Flour is II little cheaper
and It is expected to be somewhat
lower yet. Lard, however, shows
signs of strength after being weak.
Country hams and country bacon are
firm with no prospects for a decline.
Coffee is slightly lower than 1t has
been but there is no indication of any
further drop, Fruits are higher. Raj
sins and prunes will be scarce and
high this fall 1t is too early yet to
forecast on evaporatcd and dried
fruits, but the higher grades OF eat
ables, the things that arc usually !
