Arrangements Made to Store 10,009 Bales In Lumberton 'A. V. Mc Lean on Situation Farmers Should Hold Cotton Off Market At Least 60 Days Mr. McLean Attending Important Meeting in Washington Todav. Mr. A. W. McLean, president of the Bank of Lumberton was asked; Saturday to give to Robesonian read- j ors his opinion on the present cotton ; p.nd money situation. Mr. McLean is a large planter, besides being a bank er, lawyer and railroad president, and is in a position to know quite a bit about the situation. He said: "In my opinion the present depress ion in the cotton market is due almost entirely to the interruption cf ocenn transportation caused by the Euro pean war. I believe were it not for this world-wide calamity that cotto.i would be selling for at least 14 cent3 per pound, considering the short crop we.t of the Mississippi, and except f cr the var there would have been a strong demand, not only by Am.;ri fan mills, but foreign mills as well.'' "The local banks have furnished money for growing the crop, but can rot furnish money to finance it unless they get help from the government, a thing I am afraid they will not do. There has been much said about the government furnishing money to fi nance the. cotton crop, but as yet the banks have not been able to get atu' money, and I don't think the repre sentatives of the western and north western States will allow the govern ment to aid the South, as they are already kicking, saying that the South is. no more due nelp from the government than is other sections of the country. If we get help, my opin ion is that we must get it from the cotton-growing States, and not from the government. "It is not a demand for cotton we ir mnrh need, as Enedand would gladly take our cotton, but it is up to us to devise plans for transports j tion. j "My advice to the farmer is to metic, inc., &c, mat usuauy sivc gather the cotton ns fast as possibl 2, ! trouble to the teacher. For instant store and insure it. Arrangements 1 on one recitation , he made the sta.c have been made by the business mer. ; ment that the battle oi Benmng. of Lumbsrton for storing at least 10. ton was one of the decisive batt.es 000 bales of cotton in licensed ware-! of the world, and proved nis stata-houa- ! ment by showing the geographical "There are two thing? that must be 1 position of the battle ground and tha moyed before the cotton crop is mov-: plans of both armies, etc., using a ed people and wheat; then the cw-1 relief map so skillfully that even ton crop will begin to move.

(Reported for The Robesonian "by -mss -Mamie .-eni, vi r acuity ui i t nmiurtnn CvanoA s,-hnl The institute for the teachers of Robeson county, which is being held here at the graded school building, i.s proving one of the most profitable in the educational history of the coun ty. There are enrolled at present 112 teachers, which is the largest en rollment on record, and this number will probably increase next week. B3 sides this number enrolled here, we are told by Supt. Poole that quite a number attended the various sum. mer schools in this and adjoining States. Robeson county has a splen did reputation for having teachers who are interested in professional growth and this large attendance at the institute is an indication of that fact. The work covered last week was varied, the mornings being given to a general meeting in the auditorium, where books on tne reading circle list are discussed. One of these books deals with the every day problems of the teacher. A lesson in phonics is also given in the mornings. The afternoon sessions divide into jthe primary and.grammar grade sec tions The primary department, which is conducted by Miss Mildred Moses of Chapel Hill", has had, during the week, daily lessons in phonics, writing emphasizing the muscular arm move ment and drawing with its correlation with other subjects. Games are played here and motion songs ara done to the satisfaction of a very ex cellent teacher. .In the grammar department, class work is done just as in regular school work! Mr. E. D. Pusey of Dur ham, who has charge of this depart- ment presents in a very able manner, topics in history, geography, arith- dv supt. semeue oi 1 l 1 Tlirt faoVAVC of.hr.nia Viorp The teachers were en thusiasticallv in favor of it, and dif ferent plans for displaying samples of the pupils' work were discussed. Mr. Sentelie told about some coun ties in the State, which are not so large or so wealthy as Robeson and yet hold annual county fairs. The teachers were very much interested in the idea. Some suggested that we send specimens ot scnoot worn s,o the State Fair at Raleigh u "Artta. regarding the county commence ment will be taken this week. This county is so large that the task will be a big one, and deserves the co operation of the citizenship of the county as well as the teaching force. - ' Mondav. Mr. E. E.

Friday afternoon iir. o . o . vn iL. TiL:i J-0V.no Conn lifo Rhonl. of the Pbdladelphus Farm Life School, made a Very able talk in the inter est of the school there. He said, in part, that the object of the farm lifo school was to educate country girls and boys for country life and to in crease the productiveness of the county. To do this, better methods of farming are taught, also domestic science in a practical way. Especially is this school for boys and girls who don't expect to go to college. He ended his remarks by inviting teachers to meet at Philadelphus, also to com-J up and observe methods of work done there. The colored institute has enrolled 79 teachers this week. These ari very enthusiastic and take an active part in the discussions as they come up, giving their plans of work. The work last week was conducted by Supt. Sentelie, Supt. Pusey and Miss Mildred Moses. Friday after- nwin a anellincr contest was held there. Sides were chosen for the match, and neither side was able to spelj down the other.
