HERRING, CONTRACTOR Necessary Funds Have Been Secur ed aad Contract Has Been Form allytAwarded. Spacious Audito rium and Additional Class Rooms Will be Provided?Work to Begin at Once. Ahoakie is to have its long talk ed of?and much longer needed? High School Auditorium. The contract has been awarded to Mr. M. It. Herring, of Winton. Al ready part of the material to be out into this new structure has been secured by the contractor aud before tnia week shall have passed the first loads of sand will have been Dut on the grounds. Actual construction work will be gin just as soon as the necessary material can l?e secured and plac ed on the giounds. The structure will be of brick. Effort*?strenuous effort*?have been made by the Board of Trus tee* in the past few mouths look ing toward the construction of this new building which is now a surely. The citizens of this Dis trict when called upon responded nobly, and the County Board of Education added to private sub scriptions a handsome .-.ppropiation. But, justs* evevythiog was round ing into shape, the terrible floods in Western North Carolina devas tated school property to such an extent that the State Board was paralyzed and absolutely unable to make their promised appropria tion for the time being. Facing this situation, the local Board began to cast about and look arounJ for some emergency arrangements. And they have been unceasing and untiring in their efforts to secure the necessa ry money with which to give Ahoskie what she needs moat of all. The culmination of their ef forts came with the announcement that they. had made satisfactory arrangements to secure sufficient funds?and just as soon as that was settled the contract had been formally awarded and in structions to i>uild at once given to Jie successful bidder . for the contract. lhe hustling town of Ahoskie has made some wonderful strides during recent months, ali of which cause its citizens to feel just ly proud of. their native town. Yet, we take greater pleasure and more genuine Dride in announcing this fact to the progressive public than any movement or project of recent months?since the building of the present inadequate struct ure. It h?.s been a "dead gone" conclusion, long ago reached by the knowing people, that Aboskie was far behiud in ample school ac comodations, and woefully lacking in a high school auditorium. But thosa who are familial With the plans and specifications announce that the new structure will pro vide all that is lacking. It will not only provide a spacious audi torium, but it will also add sever al new class rooms, including the music rooms. The writer has seen the plans, and hopes to carry a cut of the new building in a re cent subsequent issue. While taking due cognizance of the futility of all efforts without co-operation by the people, Coun ty and State Boards, we cannot restrain f?om publishing to you the fact that the Board of Trus tees of the Ahoskie High School and our faithful Superintendent, Professor F. Q. Barbee, merit all the praise we can give them for the part they have taken in giving Ahoskie one of the most modern and best equipped High Schools in North Carolina.

Ctlll FIRM FUR illH M_S[P1FIIB(R Southern Cotton Review Adviace Planter* and Merchant* to Prop erly Market Their Cotton Crop? Cotton Scarce and Price* Will Be Good dnder Wi*e Marketing To tbe Planter*, and Merchants, (ientleuneu: The D. S. Department of Agri culture issued on August 1st the condition report of the cotton crop a* it atood July 25th. That report was 72.3% of a crop. The crop ha* gone through m trying period since then, and has deter iorated steadily until the report to be issued September 1st ought to show around 65%, which meant, a cotton famine for next season. It will be impossible now to make enough to supply the demand, and spinneis are beginning to lealizd it. Southern Farmers are liable to base their conclusions as to values on the past, and sell their cotton at $25.00 bale leas than its value. Spinners will get this difference in addition to their profit. Twen ty-five dollars a bale on 11.000,000 bales makes a sum of $275,000,000. We would like to see our plant ers get at leaat a share of this huge sum of money, and we wsnt the spinners to get good prices in our country. We sold cotton last year at $20.00 per bale less than their vales, and it made it possible for Japan to buy our cotton, man ufacture it and come in the Amer ican markets and compete with our own manufacturers in some lines off goods. "We ought to be selling Japan the finished product. How to get the farmers to see this is a problem. On July 10th we forecasted the conditions as serious, and stated then that you would see something doing all the time in the near future, our pre ciction is being fulfilled. July cotton future) in New York touch ed 16Jc today, and October in New Orleans 15|c, and looks like it is going higher. Spot cotton is bringing 15c right along. There is a possibility of October cotton going very high, as we look for a sqeeze in October option in September. You can expect all sorts of scare reports being issued in September in order to start a big selling movement. But if you will look at the condition as we give below, you can see there is hardly a chance to supply the de mand if cotton moves us it does in normal years. Hester's Ttfeport shows 342,000 bales into sight to August 25? which would have to double next mo. to get 1,050,000. The South gins about one fifth or 20% of the crop by the 25th of September in normal years, but we are two weeks late this year, and it will throw us into Octo ber before we get that amount. Now this crop look; as if it will be around 11,500,000 bales. Twenty per cent of that will be 2,300.000 bales ginned to October 1st. To get one third to the mills ready for spinning bv that time is a good movement, as farmers hold some, merchants and cotton buyers hold some, and cotton factors hold some to deliver on December and January contracts. Eurlope i; short on cotton and they have to buy early in order to get the actual cotton across the water for the Winter's trade. The export demand in-Septem ber will likely be heavy, and you will sr? a scramble for actual cotton before October. If the farmers start a holding movement and sell no cotton in September there is no telling how much they eould add to its value, and once the ?market advanced to 20 or 25c a pound.it would be hard to break it in the face of a cotton famine. It is up to you to say what the price may be. You can start a downward trend by feeding too fast or hold off and let them scramble for it. We hope sis jfcaaft -ml. ? V fmm CAMPAIGN To The Democratic Voter* of the Third Judicial District: After the apixiintment of Hon. Francis D. Winston Judge by Governor Locke Craig, I took charge of Judge Winston's caw paigu and have since done what I could to promote his interests. 1 have steadily adhered to this rule laid down bv him; not to say nor do anything that would in the re molest possiirilty reflect on his op ponent or upon any one who op posed him. I defy any man to show that either I or e ny friend of Judge Winston have varied in the least from these instruction?. We have conducted a clean and an honorable campaign. I regret, however, to say that, ;for the past week, letters have come to me giving detailed infor mation of time aud place of the most reprehensible methods used and slanderous statements made against Judge Winston in a few localities about the District. I will not go further into them in this letter. I leave those who have made them to answer them at the bar of conscience which later will lash every man who does another intentional wrong. I have no con cern with the author of these methods or with those who assist in them, f do have concern with those high-minded and fair-mind ed voters who condemn such methods both in i>olitical and pri vate life and who believe in fair play ?nd are willihg to work to see fair play obtained. 1 ask that the Democratic voters of th:s Dis trict coindemn such methods in the approaching primary. When this compaign ends and Judge Wins ton is nominated, he will be great ly sustained by the knowledge thai he has done no act and spoken < no word nor authorized either to be used to the hurt of any man's character or Democracy anywhere in this District. He has never wanted to<rise by unfair or unjust defeat of any human being. With the passing days, thp~people have oeen giving the matter of select ing their candidate forjudge in this District that serious concern which it demands. Wherever they are doing so, the sentiment in favor of nominating Judge Winston has grown daily and strongly. He has nothing to fear from the proper and fair consideration of thy most import tant matter. His* best campaign is the character he has established as a highly useful public and pri vates citizen. He fears no criti cism; he shuns no truth: he re spects honorable opposition. I urge the Democratic voters of the District to attend the primary on 9th and to support him with their < votes and influence. ? I am sure 1 do not need to urge the importance of having an able Judge. Every man who considers life and prop- ' erty knows that. 1 The reports from all parts of the District are most flattering, and I confidently predict Judge Winstons nomination by a large majority.
