Railroads See Fine Business Due To High Cotton And
 Tobacco Prices

Railroads are looking for de- cided increase in business during the next few months and are making preparations toS handle it, F. H. Willis, district passenger agent of the Seaboard, stated Wednesday.
 Because of the high prices being paid for tobacco and cotton in the south and the consequent heavier buying of manufactured products in other parts of the country. MT. Willis believes the winter season passenger traffic will be heavier than it has been in years.
 Already cold weather and pros- perity having hit the east and north west, the patronage of these sections is being felt in train service to Florida and gulf points. The sec from New York, Philadelphia, Bal timore and Chicago after the Christ mas season, followed in February by the third phase of the migration from communities further south.
 Reports received by the Seaboard agent carry the information that North Carolina has moved into sec ond place in cotton production. This state has adopted the Farm Bureau
 
 ing and it's cotton producers, in con- sequence of having placed their bales with the association. will come in heavily on the high market.
 More gulf coast and Florida bound southern passengers are looked for in the tourist season of 1923-24," MT. Willis said, than at any time before. The coming of many northerners and westerners to the south to engage in farming, who have made a custom of winter trips, have spread the custom to those with whom they now dwell and the south erner is taking more interest in re- sorts than ever has been the case before"
 It is year of big money in the agricultural sections, is the way other railroad men express it, and will be reflected in all lines, as in dicated by the renewal of activity in the metal industries with strength ening pig iron and steel markets. All say there will be something real to be grateful for when this Thanks giving is celebrated

We already have a good transportation system for the teachers and pupils, our teachers are for the most part graduates of the standard normal schools, and the Jefferson county board of education is wide awake The last objective to be reached, adequate Buildings and equipment, is now in sight"
 Dr. Baker indicated that school districts most In need of new build ings and repairs to old structures would be the first to receive atten- tion, the less urgent cases being de- ferred until later.
