Confident that if the spinners of Manchester and Liver pool districts will deal direct with the cotton cooperative marketing associa tions, they will receive carefully grad ed cotton. Arno S. Pearse, Secretary of the International Federation of Master Cotton Spinners and Manufac turers, has sent out a statement to the members of that organization. Mr. Pearse spent Beveral months in the South last summer and visited the Cotton Orowers' headquarters at Raleigh. He made a personal inves tigation of the methods employed in grading and classing cotton and ex pressed himself as thoroughly satis fied. In his statement sent to all Bplnners In the Manchester and Liver pool districts, Mr. Pearse said. "We have convinced ourselves that the men at the head of the organiza tions are straightforward, anxious to come Into touch with the spinner di rect and satisfy him In every respect," he Says. "The organizations have been careful to engage the very best graders they could obtain from exist ing well-reputed exporters; there are men amongst these who have special ized knowledge of the Liverpool, Havre and Bremen markets and we have learned from private conversation with these graders and convinced ourselves that the grading Is done most carefully. "The main advantage as regard the farmers as a class are that they re ceive an average price for the whole season's cotton, and that If a grower raises one single bale of a cotton su perlor to the rest he will receive ade quate price for the same, whilst for merly any small quantity of better grade or staple cotton had to be sold I together with the bulk.

Work Expected To Start Soon. That the Seaboard Air Line Railway will begin the erection of a parallel line of railroad in the early spring that will pass through Louisburg on its way from Norlina to Lumberton, is the gist of rumors that are leaking out around here both in and out of railroad circles. It is pointed. out, in substantiation of the rumors, that the Seaboard has long ago adopted a system of paralleling its present tracks, rather than double tracking, as it did from Hamlet to Savannah, using the idea that the extra line would open new territory and thereby new business. The plans for this venture, so rumor lias it, have all been carefully mapped out and are now ready for putting into effect. The new road, which is about 131 miles'in length, would be on a low grade and built mainly for freight traffic, but would also accommodate local passenger trains. This would relieve the main line of quite a lot of trains and render their through passenger service bet ter and safer. It would also mean a shorter route to the east and open a section that would produce quite a big lot of traffic and become a paying property. For Louisburg it would give freight and passenger accommo dations equal to most places and a great deal better than we now have. And would be a big influence toward Louisburg bo coming a manufacturing town. ' With such a road Louisburg would be in easy connection with the Norfolk & Southern, the Southern and the Atlantic Coast Line roads. In as much as these rumors come so straight from ' ' headquarters ' ' there appears to be reason to believe that there is something to it. One railroad man said recently "the Sea board is fixing to do something this Spring, certainly." Lets hope that the rumors are true and lend every assistance possible to help bring about any condition that will benefit 1 Louisburg. RECORDERS COURT Many Cases Disposed of Past Two Weeks. Judge G.

Mary Tunstall King. | What shall I sing today, my love, As I sit 'neath the rose's spray? [Shall it be a song of tomorrow. Love? (Or one of yesterday? When the rose tints of morning. Love. Were then pointing one young life's way, While sunlight, stealing through the far o!T clouds. Made silver of the gray. Or shall It be of today. Lore? When thou art now my Spirit bride? Though e'er hidden from these tear dimmed eyes. While Bitting by my side? For echoing through the year's, Love, Of a cherisher past, oft I hear Your voice; Its sweetness then brought to me smiles. Its sadness, now, a tear. Or shall It be tomorrow's song, my Love, Which will take from my heart, all pain, Echoed from -within those pearly gates. Be now my sweet refrain? And 6ur hearts (no suffering there. Love.) Shall then, ne'er know sorrow more And In them, then, ever more there will live. Love, purer than before.
