RED SPRINGS NEWS LETTER HOW ABOUT COTTON? Cotton is such a skittish creature and acta so unexpectedly all the time that predictions as to what course it may take are never safe. One can never be sure that one has taken into consideration everything that might possibly influence the price; when you have got all the statistics lined up and have proved that cotton is bound to go up, or is bound to go down, lo, something that you never dreamed of lopes in to affect the price and all your careful estimates are made to seem ridiculous. It is well, after one has doped it out to a gnat's heel that certain things are hound to happen in the cotton mar- Icet, to hedge with an "unless certain other things happen". Playing it safe this way, the following, taken from a recent issue of the Spartan burg (S. C.) Herald by W. C. Cook & Co., a well-known cotton firm of that city, and which comes to The Robesonian by way of the Raleigh News and Observer, presents some interesting points: "We wish to submit for your con-; Bideration the following facts and figures that you may draw your own conclusion as to the ultimate course of the cotton market. -!'Let. us .take ,, for, the , Jast. three years (not including "1915-lBfcrop) the total production of the American crop, including linters,-as follows: 1914-'15, 16,738,241 -bales; 1913.'14, 14,613,964 bales; 1912-'13, 14,090,863 bales, making a tot9l for the past three years 45,443,068 bales. Now let us take the corresponding periods of the world s taking of American cotton: 1914-'15, 14,040,519 bales; 1913-'14, 14,483,313; 1912-M3, 14,329, 855; making a total of 42,844,686 bales. This will give us a visible nirplus for the past three years of 2,598,382 bales. Let us turn to the present crop, 1915.'16, and for con venience place same at a round fig ure of 12,000,000 bales, including linters; add to this 2,598,382 Dales (three years' visible surplus) and we will have. 14,598,382 bales total sup ply of American cotton. Up until February 25, the span ners takings were 8,362,243 bales, against 7,630,435 last year (total takings last year 14,040,000). From such figures it would certainly seem that the spinners' takings will fully measure upto those of last season and if such be the case, we would only have a visible surplus of 558,382 bales. "Under such conditions we can see nothing but. higher prices for cotton unless the political situation should become more acute. Conditions are unquestionably hazardous and what another season may bring forth no one can foretell; therefore, we dc not believe that the farmer will b so unwise as to raise the comine tea son a liree croD of cotton. At the rate spinners have ben talrnir fc;m; . if not, they will be free to ton thi3 season, similar demands ?noose from the ot.:er patriots, rex seison. wHh a 12,000.000 crop. M?srrs.

Red Springs, March 17 On last Sabbath, a. m. the pulpit of the Pres byterian ' church here jwas filled by Rev. H. M. Dixon, professor of Bi ble at Flora Macdonald College. By request Mr. Dixon preached a spec ial sermon on the intermediate state, paradise and purgatory, which was one of the strongest sermons we've heard in many days. He proved con clusively that the dead that is, their spirits rest in this spirit land till the judgment day and that at that great day they shall all be gathere, both saint and sinner alike, and re ceive their just reward, and that at God's judgment they shall say amen.
