REACTION IN COTTON HOCKS. Option List at one time Fully Fiuht Dollars Under Last Week's Top Levels. No one had imagined that the rise ( which lifted spot cotton to the highest J level of modern times, and futures to an unparalleled position, would con tinue indefinitely, and the sharp reac tion that developed this week, if dis appointing to some interests, was any thing but surprising. From the best figures of last week, which set new precedents, there has been an extreme decline in the local spot quotation of 140 points, or $7 a bale, and the break in the option list ranged from about 1(>0 to 175 points, the latter on the near months. This means that mid dling uplands here has fallen to 29.85c, while the December delivery has yielded to 28.75., January to 28.07c., March to 27.85c., and May and July to 27.00c. and 27.30c. These are still ex traordinary prices, but Friday ended with futures fully 100 points under the top basis of November 30. With the late experience not soon to be forgotten, people arc slow a say that the wee's change in cotton con ditions will prove lasting and that the market has already reached its crest. But ihe bull element has seemed less enthosirstic, and not all of the liquida tion which mainly caused the loss of $8 and more in the options was due to a natural desire on the part of suc cessful speculators to take profits after the recent great rise. Some of the selling, at least, appeared to be prompted by the growing belief in a longer war than was previously thought likely, and revision of opinion about the bropable size of the crop was not without effort. Another pre diction of a yield well below 11,000, 000 bales Qume out during the week, but the average of the estimates of the members of the local Exchange was about (1,100,000 bales, both cf these calculations, of course, not including linters. What the Government's fig- < ures next week will show, is a matter about which there is perhaps more than the usual uncertainty. ? Dun's i Review. : Wesley Willing Workers. I The close of the Wesley Willing i Workers of the Sanders' Chapel Sun- < day school pave a pnrty at Mr. Z. L. I Talton's on the nirUt of December | the first for the benefit of their class. 1 The quests were met at the door by 1 Miss Lillie Talton and Ashley Powell, and as they passed in each dropped a silver offering in the tray. Several of the young people gather ed about the piano and sang a few 1 popular selections while the crowd ! was gathering, and then games were entered into with much hilarity. Then i came a flower contest which tried everyone's knowledge of the names of ' flowers. The boys and girls were "paired off" and the contest began. The prize, a jumping jacket, was i awarded to Mrs. W. S. Stevens and Vick Hill. One of the most unique features of the party was the foot-measuring con test. Each had his foot measured and paid a penny an inch. There were all kinds of feet; one measuring eighty one inches was quite a curiosity, but this was somewhat artificial, and there was a real foot which exceeded the capacity of the foot-rule but one inch. Thirteen is not always unlucky, and I shall not say who this was for fear of "stepping on his toes." Delicious refreshments k>f punch, nabiscos and chocolate candy were served. Those present were: Messrs W. S. Stevens, J. K. Sanders, P. A. Holland, W. B. Whitley, of Clinton, Robert Smith, Ashley Powell, Dessie Talton, Percy Barnes, Isaac Powell, Jasper Hamilton, Robert Hill, John Talton, Jarmon Eason, Dewey Stallings, Ruf fin Hill, Thomas Stallings, Auburn Williams, of Fuur Oaks, Seth Woodall, of Hope Mills, Vick Hill, L. W. Cherry and J. M. McGowan, of Greenville; Mrs. W- S. Stevens, Mrs. P. A. Hol land, Mrs. Sara Whitley, Jennie Hill, Sarah Hill, Esther, Laura and Leone Sanders, Margaret Lee Austin, Jessie Smith, Ruth Smith, and Miss Mr.ude Haskins. The evening was very much enjoyed by ail. When the offerings were counted it was found that the whole amount was $9.05. We considered the occasion very fruitful since Cherry was there. ? A. P.

The folowing is a list of what we v had: Stuffed eggs, oli\cs, nabiscos, turkey, stuffed with oy <U>r dr ssirijr. chicken, pork sausage, pithle pccrhes, blackberry jam, chow-chow, grape jelly, cnke of all kinds, apples and oranges, asorted candies, cigars and cigarettes. All the boys who enjoyed this feast of good things belong to the old Selma Company, Co. C, of the ll'Jth Infuntry. We arc very grateful for all these good things and greatly appreciate the thoughtfulness of those back home who helped us to have such a good Thanksgiving dinner. CORPORA!. B. A. HENRY. Co.

I With supplies in the country known to be enormous, some people may find it strange to see continued strength in corn and oats, and a further rise in the latter to new high levels on the crop. For more than a month, prices of these cereals have been moving up ward with comparatively little inter ruption and the December oats de livery in Chicago ths week touched 75%e., wtb ,\Jay at 72 Vic. largely be cause of the advance in this quarter, corn practically equaled last week's top quotations of $1.25 for December, $1.22 V4 for January and $1.20Vi for May, and neither in corn nor in oats was there much reaction from the best i figures reached. It can scarcely be said that anything really new has de veloped to explain the strong con dition of the markets, though talk of additional export buying of some mag- 1 nitude was not without effort, on oats. Hut it seems clearer now than ever that the transportation problem is having the greatest influence and last week visible stocks of corn increaed j only 277,000 bushels, though there was an accumulation of 597, 000 bushels in oats, against a decrease of (529,000 bushels lust year. The visible supply of ojrts on December 1, however, was fully .'!0, 000, 000 bushels less than was j reported on the san\e date of 1916, rind the quantity of corn was also somewhat smaller. That arrivals would appreciably increase has been ) predicted for some time, but the effect j jf the car shartage still apcars inithe ' movement of grain and western 're ceipts of corn were only 5,054,000 >ushels during the week. This com pares with .'!,(?47,000 last week, but ivith 8,284,000 bushels a year ago. ? Dun's Review, Dec. 8th. Mail Christmas Parcels Early. We quote the following extract From a letter from Mr. J. C. Koons, Kirst Assistant Postmaster General: "The importance of mailing Christ mas parcels early cannot be too strongly urged. During the period from November 1 until after January 1 the volume of ordinary business mail is far greater than at any other time of the year. If the great bulk of the millions of Christmas parcels is held until the last few days pi?ceding Christmas and then thrown into the already overloaded mails, congestion, damage, and delays are bound to re sult despite all advance preparations and provisions made by the Post Office Department. From all indications, the volume of mail during the month of December this year will be unprece dented, and the task of the postal ser vice in promptly and efficiently hand ling this matter will be much more difficult owing to the war prepara tions, which have necessitated reduced railway transportation facilities. Every citizen should therefore cooper ate with the Post Office Department to the fullest extent by shopping early and mailing Christmas parcels days and even weeks before December 25, according to the distance to be travel ed. All parcels may be inscribed 'Not to be opened till Christmas day.' This is the only* sensible plan to follow if you would insure having your Christ mas presents in the hands of your relatives and friends on or before Christmas morning. It is ef course es sential that all parcels be properly securely wrapped and plainly address ed, and that they bear the proper amount of postage. The sender's name and address should be placed in the upper left-hand corner. As a protec tion against injury or lost parcels may be insured for actual value up to $100 at the following rates: not to exceed $5.00, three cents; $6.00 to $25.00, five cents; $26.00 to $50.00, ten cents, $51.00 to $100.00. twenty-five cents, in addition to regular postage." OI K MOST FATAL DISEASES. In 1916 the most fatal disease was that of the heart, which caused 114, 171 denths; the next was tuberculosis with 101,396 deaths, and next pneu monia with 98,3o4 deaths. Approx imately one person in 1,000 of our population died from each of these disehses. It will be observed that typhoid fever is not in the above list. This is because successful methods of treating and preventing this disease have been found. ? State Journal. KKNLY SCHOOL NOTES. Kenly, Dec. 8. ? The first basket ball fame of this season was played Friday afternoon on the Kenly court by the home girls against the high school team of Lucama. Interest ran high, and a large number of the town people were present; the score was thirteen to eleven n favor of Kenly. Tuesday afternoon, all the students of the high school, directed by pro- 1 fessors M. B. Andrews and H. P. John son, made a house to house canvass with the Hoover food pledge cards. The students of the high school were divided into two sections; Mr. Johnson directed the boys, while Mr. Andrews directed the girls. The students and the teachers were much gratified that hardly more than a dozen mothers in the communty declined to sign the food pledge* The literary societies of the school discussed the following question Fri day afternoon: "Resolved, That the Unted States Government should own the Armor Plants." At a recent meeting of the teachers, it was decided that the school render a Christmas program on Friday night, December 21st. The program will be divided into three parts: the first part will be of a patriotic nature and will be rendered by the elementary school; the second part of the program will be a jont debate between the members of the two literary societies of the school, the question for discussion be ing, " Resolved, That no one should be put to death for crime;" and a jthird part df the program will be of a liter ary nature, "The Other Wise Man," by Van Dyke, and "A Christmas Coral," by Charles Dickens. In ad dition to the^above, special music will be provided by. the music pupils. Honor Roll for November. First Grade?

Suppose you were to read such an advertisement as this in your daily paper.: For sale, for cash on delivery, fat for frying, $4.05 a pound. Goose fat, $5.36 a pound. Duck fat, *4 pound, $1.13. Salted goose legs, 94 cents each. Larded goose breast, $2.08 per pound. Fresh fowls, 1.01 per pound and up. Young country laying hens, $3.32 each. Well-fed, snow-white, Em den giant geese, $11.01 to $19.06 each. Horseflesh, 53 tb 86 cents a pound. These are exact quotations taken from advertisements in German news papers during last June. Of course the advertisements are addressed more particularly to the rich. Even horseflesh has become a luxury beyond reach of the common people. Evident ly the scarcity of fats has not been exaggerated in reports from other sources. The pinch of war to a country that is not self-sufficient in its agriculture can become an all-pervading source of misery. Unique of all countries, the United States is self-sufficient in its agriculture. Our agriculture will be our greatest bulwark, whether the war ends soon or continues through more horror-filled years. And the best of all good things in a country self-sufficient in its agricul ture is a farm that is as near as possible self-sufficient in its produc tion. It may well be said that the possessor of such a farm can look the future in the face with out a trem or. He has breadstuffs, meats, fats. He has a well-stocked Cellar, storage houses and shelves laden with the canned products of field and garden. To him there need never come the ne cessity of paying fabulous prices for common necessities. Every such farm ? is the greatest of object lessons these war-torn times. -Country Gentleman.

POU I Jaiht-t-l < on?rt's-m;in Returns To W ashinKton From His Vacation and ? Reports that Everybody is With War Policy of Administration. Washington, D. C., Dec. 1. ? Repres entative E. W. Pou, of North Carolina, chairman of the i"iouse Committee on % Rules, returned today from his vaca tion.. He said the sentiment in North Carolina- is practically all one way, that is for a finished fight against Ger many. "I saw but one man during my visit to the State, who is opposed to the policy of the Washington Administra tion for the war," said Mr. Pou. "The sentiment of the people where I went is almost a unit for the Presi dent. The little feeling of pacificist) which I found cropping out last sum mer has about disappeared. "The only criticism I found of Con gress is that loyal Congressmen are too lenient with those who appear to be against the Government. A num ber of people told me that we permit too much disloyal talk in Congress. These critics said that Congress should not sit quietly in their seats in Wash ington and hear disloyal utterances and then come back home and talk to the people about loyalty. "I believe that the gentlemen in Congress who cannot help win this war ought to either ge^ out or be put out and let others take their places. "Last season the Ncrth Carolina delegation stood practically as a unit in support of the administration and the Government and I believe they will do it again this session." Mr. Pou believes that the Southern people with very, very few exceptions are supporting the President. Edwin Pou, son of Representative Pou, is here for a day or two. He is in the aviation service of the Govern ment. He has developed into a fine looking Sammie and is very enthusias tic over the prospect of being in the thick of the fight. ? News and Obser ver. Cause for Thanks. At this period of Thanksgiving the world has reason for being thankful in the rbundant crops harvested this year in 17 of the principal countries of the world not including the Central Powers of Europe. Wheat is below the flve-vear average with 1,808,000 bush els, which is 85.6 per cent. But most other important crops are well above the five-year average. The estimates are: Corn, 3,312,000,000 bushels, 114.1 per cent; rice, 70,000,000 bushels, 115. 5 per cent; potatoes, 719,000,000 bush els, 112.4 per cent; sugar beets, 10, 000,000 tons, 106.6 per cent; tobacco, 1,186,000,000 pounds, 120.5 per cent. In the face of these figures it would be silly to urge scarcity of food stuffs as an excuse for high prices. People cannot eat more or smoke more in times of war than in times of peace. It is not because corrr is scares that meal is selling in many North Carolna towns at 70 cents a peck, while hominy grits are bringing a h'gher price. The high prices are doubtless partly due to a depreciation of the value of money owing to the increa sing bcrrowings of our government; secondly, in many instances increased prices are due almost solely to dis turbance of transportation facilities. Taking advantage of this condition, both jobbers and retailers arc able to get almost any prices they ask. All of these things have had their in fluence upon prices of necessaries. It is probable that some of the abuses will be corrected after the new regu lations of the Food Administration have become effective on December 10 Flour and sugar have not gone above prices fixed by Mr. Hoover, although both are sometimes hard to obtain. We hope we may be as successful in fixing prices for other food Stuffs. ? State Journal. Yields of Many Crops Above Average. Very heavy world crops of corn, oats, potatoes, rice, sugar beets and tobacco for this year are indicated by estimates compiled by the Interna tional Institute of Agriculture at Rome, and made public by the Depart ment of Agriculture. Wheat, rye, barley and flaxseed, however, have fallen below the five-year average of production from 1911 to 1915. The production of wheat in seven teen countries, not including the Cen tral Powers, will be 1,808,000,000 bushels, 85.6 per cent of the five-year average. Corn raised will amount to 3,312,000,000 bushels, which is 14.1 per cent greater than the average produc tion for the last five years. Other crops are estimated as follows: Rye, 147,000,000 bushels, 92.2 ;?er cent; barley, 587,000,000 bushels, 96 per cent; oats, 2,682,000,000 bushels, 113.9 per cent; rice, 70,000,000 bushels, 115.5 per cent; flaxseed, 38,000,000 bushels, 69.8 per cent; potatoes, 719, 000,000 bushels, 112.4 per cent; sugar I beets, 10,000.000 short tons, 10.6 per cent; tobacco, 1,186,000,000 pounds, j 120.5 per cent. ?
