TWO FIRES
The peace and quiet of Lauisburg
was disturbed on Tuesday and Wed
nesday of this week by the sound of
the fire alarm.
On Tuesday the Are was at Hud
sons Garage and was caused by one
of the machinists handling gasoline
too close to the stove that contained
Are. As soon as the fumes spread the
blaze covered the building, and the
bucket containing the gasoline being
kicked out the back door where greas;
trash had accumulated caused the
blaze to take on big proportipns. The
quick use of fire extinguishers on hand
got controll of the fire by the time the
Fire Company arrived. No damage
other than a few burns on the hands
of some of those fighting the blaze,
occurred. There was no insurance on
the building or contents.
The fire on Wednesday was at the
town's oil pump on the side of the Sea
board Air Line Railway. The fire de
partment answered promptly and
soon extinguished the blaze with no
appreciable damage.

L#N<; STAPLE SETTLEMENT
Raleigh. Jan. 29. ? Over a quarter of
a million dollars have gone out from
-the Raleigh headquarters of the North
Carolina Cotton Growers' Cooperative
Association to members of that organ
ization who delivered long staple cot
ton according to officials of the or
ganization here. This was the final
payment on long staole cotton and
closes the business of the association
in the matter of the 1922 crop.
The cooperative association received
1 10.565 bales of long staple cotton of
the crop of 1922. Prior to this final
settlement the members had been ad
vanced on this type of cotton on a ba
sis of 19 cents a pound basis middling
staple 7-8 to 1 inch. On this basis the(
| advance ranged from 25 to 2S cents a'
pound. The association found that
j during the season there were many
times when it was impossible to sell
the long staple cotton for a satisfac
tory price and rather than let it go
under what was believed to be a prop
er price sales were not made. Final
ly all of the cotton was sold and the
final settlement with the members
followed.
Members of tTie association receive
? ed a final settlement on the 1922 short
stapl" cotton last October but at that
time all of the long staple had not
bee) sold. The checks that went into
t'.ie nail go to over 2-. 000 members
and ital a little more than $275,000.
