Whitehall COTTON .PLOUGHEiy UNDER, .it-lyt ir , i. Maxton Farmers Vote to' Plough ' Vn det Cottoa Wljen Acreage Is Fonnd to be Too Great 10 Per Cent; ot Crop Discarded A Remarkable Achievement. y . - President C. CMbore, of the North Carolina division of the Southern Cot ton Association, called : The Observer office over the, long distance telephone last night to -tell of something re markable that happened in Maxton yesterday.' ' ' Hq stated that a very enthusiastic meeting of the farmers had been held In the afternoon, at which time a census of the acreage was taken. It was found that the reduction did not amount to what the association had pledged, namely SS per cent, off, that of 1004. in. ' fact the reduction only about IS per cent., 10 per cent, two little. JWhen the members of the association had learned that they had failed to. comply with their promises, they voted to plough under enough of the cotton to bring the census down to the necessary figures. The farm era spoke out In public and each one promised to cut off so much from th crop. A second meeting is to be held Saturday at t o'clock in Maxton for the , purpose of taking a second ' and larger inventory of the condition of things in the county. Much Interest Is being taken In the outcome of that meeting. - This action by the farmers of Rob eson county Is remarkable. It demon strates the fact that they are willing to sacrifice much for the benefit - of the organisation. This example of steadfastness is one that should be a great help to the county organisations throughout he State. NEW OFFICERS ELECTED. i . Mr. T. w. Hawkins, President and Mr. J.

Superior Court on Charge of Steal ; Ing ; Watch Faora L. Roacnbanm 0 Daya for Violation Other ,v; Cases. "-..Tlji . An interesting case in tie .city po Hce court 'yesterday morning .was that in" which (Ed. Knuckley, a Syrian, was changed with stealing watch from Mr. L. Rosenbaum, the West Trade street merchant. Young 'v Knuckley was searched by Chief of Police Irwin and ( the stolen property found in his possession. Rut the interest in ,the case was not in the mere fact that a watch was stolen. (Both men interested In the case are foreigners, and , It would be difficult to reproduce their language except In a phonograph record. Rosen baum has a most pronounced Hebrew accent and his continuous stream of testimony yesterday kept the spec tators in the court room amused. Knuckley was a little more deliberate, but his dago talk, as he explained that he purchased the watch from a negro, could be understood only In spots. The outcome of the case Was that Knuckley was bound over to the Su perior Court, being required to give a bond of $100 for his appearance there. Blanche Donaldson, a dusky damsel who has been in the court at short Intervals for several years, was charg ed with drunkenness. She was fined J5' and, without the amount of the damages, will have to work it out on the road. Ed Morrison, a colored citizen who had taken an overdose of the cook's medicine and become obatreporous on a street car, was fined $5 and the costs. Jim Harris, the negro youth who had preferred a seat on a street car fen der to a seat inside, was sent to the gang for 20 days for the violation. Expert Work by Expert People!
