H. Price. editor of Commerce ji. and Finance, and a cotton authority f. of national prominence, is not so pes e simistic about the ’’mmediate future of cotton and cotton textiles. He knows, of course, that business with £ the manufacturers could be better, and f likewise does he realize that cotton | prices are too low to suit the farmer, fc still he does not see ruin for every -5 * one. Mr. Price points out several rac- I' ri'tors which incline him to the belief that those who are looking for a s sfitarp depression in cotton prices are perhaps reckoning without their host. | . For one thing, an increase in cot ton exports is not a “remote contin gency*’ since European cotton stocks are much lower today than they were 1 a year ago. Meanwhile, he observes l that trade in this country is “not as l black as it has been painted**; that j | “the demand for staple cotton goods | is better than it was; that the L reserve bank of New York has reduc £ ed its rediscount rate to 3 1-li per i; cent.; that the abundance of bank jk‘ credit at low rates has led to a reviv ir~ al of speculation on the New York Exchange and that a psychological de gf.. pression in American business is no | longer feared. “If this be a true summary of con ditioas, then there *s little warrant, for K a further decline in cotton, and those who are selling a crop that cannot be harvested for several months may be reckoning without a host. As bearing upon the much talked of overproduc tion in the United States, it may be added that David t’lark of the South | c*rn Textile Bulletin has assembled j u, some figures that are worth close at- ; tention. They show that we have ou % ly 280 spindles per 1,000 of the popu lation as against 335 sp : ndles per 1,- 000 in 1020 and 281 spindles p:>r I.fM)O ' in 1005. If this showing be correct i then the alleged overproduction must be due to a marvelous, inexplicable and improbable increase in the effi- I ciency of the spindles now in opera -0 tion.” far as we have been able to de -0 termine. the uncertainty of the cot ton crop *s the one factor that is mak ing the textile outlook so uncertain. s|v- Everyone seems unwilling to take a H chance, most of all the buyers. With || tliis condition facing them the innnu- K fuctnrer are not taking any chance Wt- cither. They can rather curtail than iff pHd up goods made of present-priced R. cotton. s—’ 5 —’ |f A GLI B FROM ITOI'I.Y IB Tli* Secretsry of Slate for North |fi Carol'iia has been asked to issue a Ife charter to'-a nevr clitb. That fart in 1 g..' Itliflf means'.uotjiiug more than many. If other news items from the State cap- > p ital, for clubs, it seems, are springing fe up with jjreat rapidity in the Tar %si Heed Stale.

But when one reads the purposes of the clubs and the things that are to be available one seuses a waiting j list of names for membership. Cer tainly if conditions can be made as j attractive as pictured in the outline for thecliarter, then there will never be lack of membership. Here are the purposes of the club : “To provide a place where the i members of this association can hunt and fish; form a more perfect asso ciation between members, establish j peace, insure domestic tranquility, i provide for the common defense, pro- j mote the general welfare, and secure [ the blessings of liberty to ourselves! and our posterity : and, further, to provide a place where the weary can be at rest and where present and fu ture nimrods and Isaak Waltons may j idle away the long hours fishing with out fear of themselves” being hooked as suckers, of gazing in silent awe upon the majestic roll of the ocean billows rather than in peering in fruitless wonder upon the roll stock ing. and in hunting wild ducks than in running wildly after chickens.’’ The Asheville Real Estate Board has taken what appears to be a wise step. It is trying to get all property owners, and especially all real estate dealers, to refrain from posting “for sale*’ signs all over the town. This action should be followed by other towns. The visitor must figure some thing wrong when he sees about every other piece of property posted with a “for sale” sign. It also gives to the visitor the impression that the local man is trying to get rid of his stuff in a hurry. There are other methods of advertising property without post ing them, methods that are far super ior to this ancient one. NEGROES FLEECED BY A SMOOTH-TONGUED ARTIST Badin Negroes Are Minus About $25 in Cash ajid Other Things. Salisbury, May I.—Three negroes from Budin are minus about $25 in money. a raior, and probably other articles of value a* the result of some clever work by a smooth tongued artist of their own race last evening. The three negroes in question had come up from Badin and were en route to Richmond it is said. Two of them had bought tickets from Badin to Richmond, and did not lose these, but one of Jhe party was com pletely broke and had no ticket or anything else at a lute hour last night as the result of the fleecerV activities. According to tin* story told by lical police the fleecer accosted the three negroes in the Southern rail way station shortly before eight o’clock last night, flashed a sheriff’s badge upon them, and told them that he was a special officer tent to arrest them for a part in a po*t office robbery. He quietly rounded up his party, marched them out to what is known as “Henderson’s Bines” be low the station, searched them, took their money totalling about 825, a razor, gave them a pass he claimed was goou on any railroad ad for any destination and then set off in the direction of Hpencer. The other ne groes notified officers a* quickly as pcscdblo.and although a search was made for the smooth tongued artist, lie hail not been apprehended at mid night last night. The so-called was examined by local police and found to be a bogus affair and of no value what ever. It had tht' appearance of a railroad pass, they said, but w<u» not the genuine article by any moans. The. two negroes who had tickets to Richmond went on their way. while she third one. broke and des titute. was asked by railroad rle jteetives to remain here for the night in order to aid in identifying the one who had robbed them of their money should he be caught- Wliile the negro who claimed to be a special officer is not known nere. officers have a suspicion that he is the same gentleman of color who has been busy for several days in the eastern part of the state selling bogus railway tickets to negroes with the promise of high salaried jobs in Ohio and other j>arts‘of the. midwest. are hopeful of rounding up the culprit today and of making an end to his “get-rich-quick” schemes.

He had some time ago found out through his producer’s office the number of her private tele phone. He considered. Having never had a rebuff, he could not imagine one, especially from Marie. )h. some embarrassment, of course. But If he knew her. and he felt he lid, 6he would probably be tickled ua death to hear his voice again i Marie was breakfasting In bed uxurlously this morning In a room which looked out on her own small itretch of back yard, now touched with the first gTeen of spring. She was feeling especially lazy, luxuri tus. and even happy today, perhaps Secause the sun shone so brightly trough the lowered shades, on lacy pillows, delicate rugs, flounces, pas :el-colored furniture, which she had tarned. Sally, who had bounced In ,nd crossed her legs at the foot of iha bed, smoked her first cigaxette uid nodded understanding^. “Feels pretty good, doesn't It? yens your own home!” “Own your own house anyway.” : •emarked Marie. "Hand me a cig. : will you? What have ws on for oday?” The private telephone by Marie's tedside rang. She bad left the p fee'll “They say that daipe throws the wildest parties in New York/" room to arrange her bath Marie reached for the instrument lan guidly. “Yes?” “May I speak to Miss Downee?" A faint memory lifted Marie’s lirows “Who wants her, please?" "This Is Mr. Clifford Dudley i speaking." Marie drew away from the tele phone and threw ber voice into it, a good way to disguise the tone: "I’ll see If she’s up. Rir" TbeD she covered the receiver Quickly with her hand and lay back and looked at Sally, smother Ing giggles “Guess who?" “For the luv of Pete—who?" “Our old friend, Clifford!" “The nerve!" exclaimed Sally, "TO tell him you’re not in. and m make It strong! Dijever—” “No, wait a minute, Sally, I’ve a swell Idea—” Marie uncovered the telephone, and spoke from the distance, with an expression on her face that would have made Clifford pause. Her face was as demure as that of a eat licking up a particularly Juicy saucer of cream. “Miss Downee canuot be dis turbed now, but she says to kindly tell you to come to her birthday party tonight after the theatre ” “Tell her I’ll be glad to." “Well.” said Clifford to himself, profoundly pleased, "that was too osusy." He took up the small hand mir ror by his bedside and regarded himself In It carefully She would not find him changed or marred by so much as a crowsfoot And it she still lerved him as much, as he had every reason to feel sure, well — there was no longer that non engagement or marriage clause In his contract He had climbed sufficiently high to object to such potent clauses and not to mind the effeot of domesticity on the public.

He smiled dreamily ta him self. What a romance! And how the public, eager to believe In true love and its final reconciliations, would eat It up. It would bring him on the front pages again. When Marie hung up the tele phone, Sally fell on her with loud cries. “Yon don't mean to tell me—Oh, Marie. Not after all the mess —” “Oh, you poor sap!” giggled Marie In her turn. "Don't tell me you can’t see. Every worm ha 3 Its day, too, you know, for turntng." Here laughter overcame her. Sally threw all the" pillows In sight at her, and, that failing, be seeched her with loud wails: "For Pete’s sake! What Is ItT Don’t keep me on pins and needles. You’re making a nervous wreck outa me, Marie—you wretch!” “Well, what would you say to this bright idea,” began Marie slowly. She elaborated. Sally gasped and howled. “It’s perfect! Perfect! Oh, how the worm will turn; Oh. what a comeback! He won't hear the end of this for a long time, not if li'l Sally Short knows It.” The maid, well schooled as she was; could not help shaking her i head disapprovingly over scattered pillows, bits of breakfast roll flung to far corners of the room, the tray upset by the war dance which Sally and Marie had performed. “These actress,” she thought, as she went about, silently, picking things up. Marie Downee had never given a performance so alive, so nanghty, so scintillating, as she gave that night The manager wondered whether she had got a new sweetie: the chorus girls whether some one, had presented her with a string of real pearls; the leading man. under more than her usual verve of stage love, whether she bad not suddenly conceived a pas sfon for him. Only Sally knew, and spent her time between numbers at the back stage telephone, calling up twice as many people as had been called before to come ta ihe best party Marie Downee was ever ) to give.
