MOBESONIAN jl Ifil Irlt ESTABLISHED 1870. Country, God and Truth. SINGLE COPIES 6 CENTS. VOL. XXXVI, NO. 94. LUMBERTON, NORTH CAROLINA FRIDAY, JANUARY 26. 1906. WHOLE NO. 2107 PRESIDENT MOM TO SPEAK HERE Will Addrees Robeson County Cottoa Growers in Lumbers Monday. MAKING TOUR OF THE STATE elmmdiately After the Address a Meeting of the County Cotton Growers Association Will be Held Encouraoinfl Reports liz Ing Received y Mr. Moore. Mr. Charles C. Moore, presi dent pf ihe North Ca olina branch of the Southern Cotton Growers' Association, will speak in the court house in Lumbarfon next Monday at 11 o'clock, it ia siu oerely hoped that there will be a large attendance of the cotton growers, fanners and business men generally at the meeting. Immediately after Mr Moore's ed dress, a meeting of the County CottoD Growers' Association will be held. Mr. Moore is greatly pleased with the results of the meetings held in other counties. Saturday ha was at Laurinburg and Monday he spoke at Smithfield. Tuesday President Moore was in Raleigh. Wednesday he was in Goldsboro. Thursday he went to Washington to present, with a committee, the Overman bill, to President Rose velt, for its recommending to Con. gress. Friday he will be in Mon roe, in Union county and Satur day at Rookingham. There is all about him the spirit of enterprise and enthusiasm. He has brought to his work the ad ded zest that comes with a more closely studied application and a more intimate knowledge as to the real essentials in the organization, und this same impress he makes on all those with whom he enters into any detailed explanations. There is noj? no doubt that the merchants, bankers and manufac turers realize the great import of the concerted action that seemed for awhile only a small movement, backed only by isolated enthusi asts and cotton dreamers, who were called erratio and whose aims were misinterpreted. One of the best proofs of this statement lies in the fact that merchants and bankers outside the State are con tributing to the fund for a more thorough organization, one whole sale merchant in Riohmond, Va , having liberally contributed and influenced other money, stating in a letter to the president that he believed the committee could oould secure more than twice the amount in Riohmond. President Moore feels sure that when his plans are put into execu tion each one of the 53 cotton growing counties in the State will prove a factor in so strong a co-operative movement. A telegram from W. S. Pharr, secretary of the Mecklenburg Association, received at LouiBburg last Saturday, an. uounced most encouraging receipts at Charlotte from the business men there and promises more than double results as stated in the telegram.

It will be seen that during the four months of 1905 a net profit of $108.63 is shown."" This is in addition to the city street lighting, which was thus seonred free of cost. The re port follows : To the Honorable Mayor and Board of Commissioners of the town of Lumberton, N. C.

The cost of the street lighting is estimated to be $102.00. per month and this is taken into con sideration in the make up of the above statements ; the street lights having been furnished by the plant as it were free of cost, in ad dition to the profit made as above mentioned. Notice is given ill parties con templating installing electric lights that for the lack of power the town, cannot cut in any more lights until the plant is enlarged. The present equipment is only good for 1400 lights and there are as many as 1600 connected at present; showing the plant to be over-loaded as much as 50 ampres or 200 one-fourth ampre, 16 candle-power incondescent lights. This shows the plant to have been self sustaining for the four months ending December 1905 and paying a profit of $103.63 for these four months. Respectfully submitted, E. J.
