A half hour later when Messrs Kuykendall went to feed the block, it was first learned r that the barn was on fire. The Dimes quickly spread-from this building to the crib and carriage house, and, "had It not been for the quick work -of the Messrs KuykendaaV a : number t -of . expensive carriages and buggies would have been burned. Owing to their prompt action these, however, were saved. Aouanlty of roughness was burned. The Slmon ton place is One of the most beautiful and best kept places at . Flat Rock.

' To the-Editor of The Observers ' The free movement of cotton during January, and so far this month, com- nared with last year, that being the bumper crop year; nas ia a very ao moralislng effect on many people, and has caused a great many to close out their holdings at - a loss. The world should not lose eight of the fact that cotton ha been bringing 11 to lift cents during these montns against i to 7ft cents last year, which has given the producer a profit and inducement to sell, this year against loss last vear. Aeain. It should not be over looked that the movement up to last Friday wai 247.000 bales behind two year ago, when the total crop was only 10,011.000 bales, we nave, mere fore to get from now on for the bal ance of this season, 247.000 bales more than two years agd, to make a 10,000, 000 bale' crop. Granting that we get the 247.000 bales or .even l.vuu.uuu oaies more than' two years ago, we will be far short of a supply, and with stiver up around (( cents an ounce end trade rwwilttnna a healthv a they are to day, the market should be around 12 cents per pound. Tne majoniy oi tne mtUs can pay that price now and make a handsome profit. JASPER MILLER. Charlotte, Feb. 21 1908. Durhandte Goes to Virginia. Correspondence of The Observer. Durham. Feb. 20.
