He said the operating expense waa $2.20 per bale, and stor.j age and insurance $3.57. These prices represent a reduction over former years when the quantity of cotton handled is taken into consideration. He pointed with pride to the fact that after six years operation every bale has been accounted for and they had never lost a dollar in bank failures or bad accounts.

Read, presiding eider of the Rockingham district, Methodist church, has been granted a leave of absence, and Rev. O. W. Dowd, pkstor of the Hamlet church, has been appointed by Bishop Mou. zen to have charge of the work. Rev. R. A. BarcliiTe, Jr., of Duke University comes to Hamlet church as Mr. Dowd's assistant. This does not mean that Mr. Dowd severs his relation with the Hamlet church. It means simply that his abil ity has been recognized and when a man wa^ needed to carry on the dis trict work until the meeting of the annual conference in November he was chosen for the lob. He will, of course, continue to live in Hamlet, but his new duties will take him away from home a great deal of the time, especially on Sundays. Mr. Dowd's friends are glad that h> has been accorded this recogni "fTcn, at the same time regretting that he will be away so much. It is hoped that Mr. Read- may soon be able to resume his work and permit Mr. Dowd to go back on his regular sche dule as pastor of the Hamlet church, j ?News Messenger.
