NORTHEAST COUNTIES
AHEAD WITH COTTON
Show Gain In Bales Ginned From Crop
of 1922 While State at Large
Fell Back

While census reports continue 70
show less cotton ginned in North Car
DINA for the crops of 1921 than for
the crops of 1920, census reports con-
tinue to show more cotton ginned in
our Northeastern North Carolina cOun-
ties. This significant fact was brought
to the attention of readers of this
newspaper several months ago and is
one of several reasons why conditions
generally are better in these Northeast
ern counties than in other parts of the
state.
The latest census report shows for
the whole state S02,421 bales ginned
from the crop of 1920 and 790,S07 bales
from the crop of 1921. But while the
state at large shows a shrinkage, Pas
ouotank comes up with 2,763 bales of
the crop of 1921, compared with 1855
bales of the crop of 1920. Perquimans
county ginned 1851 bales of 1920 and
4,S62 of 1921. Camden ginned 2,211
bales of the 1921 crops against 1851

Week

muzzle and instead of by the butt
caused the death of Colas BrickhOuSe,

Brickhouse. were hunting in a small
skiff in Knobbs Greek. Colas, handling
a gun by the muzzle set it down in the

the loaded gun snagged on the side of
the boat and tripped. The entire load

taneous death. Young Brickhouse was
an employe of the Elizabeth City Ho-
