ML Eliam. Aug. 7 It was "Happy Jack's" delight to spend a dav recently in the wide-awake, movine-on town of SL Pauls (rightly named). This soon-will-be city is being reared up at a rapid pace in one of Robeson's best farming sections (which means in one of the best-suited-to agriculture sections in the world). SL Paul is a young town but nevertheless it has the ap pearance of an old town, or one that has been growing for a long time. There are in the town three nice church buildings, Baptist, Methodist and Presby terian. We did not visit any of them except the Baptist, and the Baptist church which was recent ly completed is one of the nicest and most up-to-date in the Robe son Association. St. Paul alsc has a nice school building. We always judge the future 01 a town by its -church and school advantages, and no town in the State the size of St. Paul can boast of better, and but few much larger towns. The city already has a cotton mill, a bank, a large hotel, a nice up-to-date railway station, stores of various kinds, barber shops, restaurants, livery stables, as nice residences as any town in Robeson, and last, but by no means least, an up-to-now newspaper, the "Rob eson Messenger." Mr. J. B. Evans is editor; and here I will say nothing can be sent out from a town to do it as much good in every way as a live newspaper like The Messenger. The people of SL Pauls are generous and hospitable as any people alive. We had almost forgot to say that SL Pauls has em all when it comes to pretty girls. And that's what makes folks like the writer love a town. I thought when there I had found myself a future wife, but to my sad re gret when I got back to Lumber ton I found she belonged to an other boy. The prospects now are that the SL Paul of Robeson county, North Carolina, will some future day be in line with the St. Paul of Minnesota. As I missed the St. Paul girl Saturday I took another sweetheart-hunting tour. This time I drove through the country (country girls are best) about fifty miles and this with the fixty miles I drove last week makes us know something about crop conditions in Robeson. I I have been the county roads from Lumberton to St. Paul, from Lumberton to Barnesville and from Lumberton to Howellsville, Regan's, Zion's, Tabernacle, Baker's chapel, and to tell it true, I don't know how many more places. I don't find but one thing to keep this from being the biggest crop year in ' Robe son's farming history: that is late cotton. The indications now are it will be well with most of the farmers where I have been if prices don't ruin it all. Mr. Rossie B. Britt spent Sat urday and Sunday with a friend at Tabernacle. Miss Minnie Thompson of Bladenboro spent last week with her sisters, Misses Rena and Nina. Messrs. H. S. Nye and Frank Barden, or Orrum, spent Sun day with Mr. I. V. Biitt. "Old Reb" I'm happy to learn that you will write your war ex periences for The Robesonian. Let many others do likewise. Mr. J. Z. Stone and daughter Miss Sarah spent Saturday at the capitol shopping. It was the pleasure of the writer to hear that talented young preacher Rev. F. T. Col lins several times last week. Mr. Collins held a meeting at his home church. Long Branch. He is a graduate of Wake Forest! college and is just home on his vacation from the Baptist Theo logical Seminary of Louisville, Ky. He has a call to help in meetings each week while his vacation lasts, so his vacation will not mean rest. Mr. Collins is!already one of the best preach ers in the State and only the Great King knows what the fu ture will tell. Fodder pulling is all the push on the "Mount." We are pleased to learn that Mr. Bethune is able to be back on his job. Where is everybody rushing to? Bound for Lumberton to get a hookworm treatment. While fishing one night re cently Mr. C. M. Britt caught a large moccasin snake on his hook or on one of them he had had him. It is said things looked serious for a while. Am not quite sure, but almost, that Mr. Britt don't care to be on a hook with a snake again. It's a thou sand wonders somebody didn't get bit. "All's well that ends well." "Happy Jack." CROP CONDITIONS. Crops Overestimated Esti mates of a Big Cotton Crop Do Farmers Injustice. To the Editor of The RobeonUn: I see in the papers that we have some very lively estimating of the crops. In my judgment and in the judgment of other conservative estimators, the crops have been overestimated especially as to cotton. There is something like one-third of the cotton in Robeson county that came up on or about the first of June. Observation has taught us that cotton coming up that late has never been known to average more than a half a crop. Another reason is, I presume, the crop has been estimated by the size of the weed, which is one of the poorest ways by which it could be estimated. The weed this time is out of proportion with the fruits in other words, it has made more weed in proportion than fruiL You only have to go out to the patch and see for yourself. I've grown cotton all my life but don't claim to be any experL I have been in Scotland, Richmond, Hoke and Bladen counties re cently and the following is what I find, together with what I have said: There has been a big deterioration recently. The corn crop is good, but it has fired up bad, so there has been considerable deterioration in the corn crop recently. The above is the condition of the crops as I find them. Having seen several parties trom different counties and States, the above compares very favorably with their version of crop conditions. There is no guarantee of any 14 million bale crop. It's a hardship on the producers to advertise such bumper crops, thereby depressing the price, when they absolutely cannot tell yeL "Oh, but," you say, "they base their calculations on the present percenage as to conditions." This will not apply as to the cotton crop this year from the fact there is no way to get a basis to figure from as to the late crop; so let the speculator figure as much as he pleases, but you take a conservative view of the situation and see if you do not see it as I do.
