RAILROAD STOCK MUCH STRONGER The prices of atricles hauled by the railroads aie down bat I'm charges ol the railroads for hauling those articles is up. When following the lines ol the great Southern Railway; begiji ning at New York ami going tiouth thorugh our own state; South Caro lina; Georgia; Alabama; Mississippi and Louisiana and you see financial depression and distress written upon everything. You see storehouses per manently cloned, buincs firms strug giiig and property not worth fifty cents on the dollar. You see farms that can be scarcely sold at any price for cash. Take a train from New York to New Orleans and make a note oi everything you sec that is highet than before this depression and you will find none. The average is per haps fifty per cent lower but when you look at the railroad's property you will find that it is more than 2o per cent higher. Why is this? It must be that the railroads have a be! ter organization. They are at least nearer New York and Washington than we are. A twenty per cent rise in prices will pay every cent the south owes. tOTTON CONSUMED SHOWS GAIN OVER 1921 Washington, April 13 —Cotton con sumed during March amounted to five hundred and eighteen thousand, four hr.dred and lfty bales of lint and forty for thousand, one hundred and bcv t.ntv-seven I inters, 'lhis is in com- Liaiison to four hundred and thirty- eight thousand two hundred and eight bales of lint and forty-four thousand six hntired and f oily-seven linters last year according to statement an nounced by the census.

Williamston, Martin County, North Carolina, Friday, April 14th, 1922 1 FARMER IN DISTRICT TO PAY INCOME TAX Charlotte New*. Only one farmer in Mcklenburg| Gaston and Lincoln counties—the dis trict presided over Tax Commissioner A. Morris McDonald paid an income tax to the state of North Carolina for the past year, that farmer being Walter S Pharr, of this county. Mr McDonald's records do not con tain the name of a single farmer in the three counties who was forced to pay this tribute to Caesttr, because his net earnings during the past year, above his exemptions. It was pointed out thut Mr Pharr paid the income tax not on receipts from the operation of his large plan tation east of this city but on sales of decorative trees etc., largely used on the development of tho estate ot J II Duk. The unique discovery wu3 various ly commented on when made known by Mr. McDonald, it being; generally agreed that it furuishes an index into Uie economic co'nditons of the fuimers of these 3 counties —counties that are regarded as far above the average in the number of productive farms as well as in the number of intelligent farmers. That not a single producer from the soil of this territory made enough money during last year above his ex emptions to pay this tax to the state was regarded by many as clear indi cation of the misfortunes that huve generally overtaken the agricultural interests.
