This cotton was planted on land
that is of a very light sandy nature
and very poor. The preparation
of the soil was not thorough and
the seed was planted too late, caus
ing poor and slow start. The
fertilizer used was 000 lbs. 8-4-4
per acre. All lands prepared, ferti
lized, planted, cultivated, housed
and weighed alike, and if there is
anything to cause a greater yield
In one variety over that of another,
except the seed, we are unable to
see it.
Respectfully,
John W. Manning.

WILLIAMSTON, N. C., FRIDAY, JANUARY 25. 1912
Hall or Skewsrkee Iodge No. 90
A. F. & A M. ,
Our Lodge is again called up6n
to mourn the death of one of its
most faithful and devoted members.
James D. Leggett was born
March 16, 1866. and died Nov. 19,
191 1. He was elected to take tbe
degrees of Masonry on the 14th
day 0i Feb. 1593, made an Rntexed j
Apprentice ou the same date; passed
to the degrees of a Fellow Craft,
Feb. 28, 1893, and raised to the
sublime degree of a Mssttr Mason
April 11, 1893.
As a citizen, he was correct in
life, just und true in his relations
with his brethren, and deeply con
cerned in matters effecting the pub
lic welfare. To those whom he
knew and esteemed, he was more
than u friend and companion: and
his frankness, sincerity, and never
failing good spirits made his society
enjoyable and desirable.
With a charity as broad as the
heavens, and dlspofition tropical in
its richness of love and cheerful
ness, he lived to make others hap
py. He attested in his daily life
among his brethren, the grand
tenets of our ancient institution,
aiding tbe helpless, comforting the
desolate, rejoicing with the glad of
heart.
The drama of life with him is
ended another link in friendships,
golden chain is broken: another
pillar in the great Temple of Mason
ry has fallen.
Resolved: Ist. That Skewarkee
Lodge deeply and sincerely mourns
tbe death of James D. Leggett, and
that we inscribe upon the records
of the Lodge this testimonial of onr
respect, confidence, aud love.
Resolved: and. That we extend
to Lis family and, relation? our
deepest sympathy in their sore be
reavemer. t.
Resolved: 3rd. That this pre
amble aod resolutions, under the
seal of the Lodge, be sent to the
widow of our deceased brother, and
that n copy be furnished TliK EN
TEBVISE with the request that the
same be published.

Improvements
I
The Atlantic Coast Line is plac-
I a structure beneath the road run
ning across Main Street extension,
so thit the street may be cut out to
a level, enhancing the beautv of
sr.uie and remitting it safer for
! vehicle. This portion of the street
j will be worked under the good
truads movement as is Main Street
! of the town.
The Biptist Parsonage has heeu
greatly improved by an addition of
a couple of looms on the side look
ing toward Haughton Street. A
broad varar.da runs across the front
and down the aider part of the
house, making n most attractive
residence and cdflmjj much to the
comfort of the pastor .ind his fami

C. I). Carstarphei; is having the
house in the rcur oc his store moved
in the center of the vacant lot ad
joining his residence. He will also
move his stables farther back in the
lot, thns giving more rodm in front.
Tht house will be thorotigly re
modeled and made into a hand
tome cottage, and will be occupied
when completed by Mr. P. H
Brown and family, who are mak
ing their home here now.
The Dixie Theatre
"Are you going tonight?" is the
question one hears all through the
davs now. A stranger asking
"WheJt?" is told that the Dixie
Theatre under the management of
Thrower andFowdeti is open night
ly and the best in the world of mov
ing pictures is exhibited in
the City Opera House where there
is plenty of room and comfortable
seats. This is an attractive in
novation for Williataston, especial
ly to the children and the- vouogei
set not to mention the older people.
On opening night a large crowd
was present and the exhibition was
fine-. Just before the ciose a slight
accident happened to ihe machine
and the cry of "Fire" was heard
from the gallery. A colored boy
jumped from the gallery to the first
floor in his excitement and this
caused a sudden alarm. Many
men in the hali jumped over the
B£gta and ran down the stairway,
leaving the women aod children in
