On a basis Of conditions previous TO
1914, the price of cotton is now high;
but considering the cost of producing
the cotton that is still in the hands of

cotton that is now growing, cotton is
very low-shamefully low.

even at that they are not receiving as

which this country MAY be made fl

UP:GASTONlA WAY

| Flivve-ing up toward Gastonia on
Sunday afternoon when one ought to
be in Sunday school or church, maybe,
although ore might get little conSo-
lation in the fact that hundreds of
others are doing the same thing, one
notices that the road from Pleasant
Ridge, n. c., to Gastonia built more
than year ago is still in good shape
and the way the flivyers and automo-
biles burn wind and gasoline along
that road Is caution. "They don't
really begin to ride much until June
l." the speed cop stationed along that
way went nto explain the other day,
"and then the speed cop earns his pay
and some more"
Practically all of that chain of mills
built in Castor county between
Crowder's Creek and Gastonia, just
after the war, when. lots of people
thought there would always be money
for everybody: are in operation. One
has to 20 a long way before he finds
neater and nicer looking mill villages
than those. Everything is neat and
clean as d pin and the people sitting
in their homes on Sunday afternoons
appeared to be satisfied and cheerful
despite reductions in wages that have
come. That is 1t looked .lnat way
from the left side of the f1ivyer on the
right side of the road going up.
At least one young couple were very
happy and very cheerful apparently.
They were seated in a swing on the
porch and he was holding her hand
and on his face and on her face was
the smile that wouldn't come off. Some
fellow in another flivver saw them and
he yelled Turn her loose" The young
fellow didn't. Maybe he thought the
man was yelling to the driver of his
own car to put on more speed; but
whatever he thought he held the
girlie's hand like they say a drowning
man holds to straw or something.
The road from Pleasant Ridge is
nothing to brag about. There are ruts,
and bumps and right above them are
more Of the same kind. The fat man
