in the first three years of the war
was slightly under 4,000,000 an av
erage permanent loss ot l,dOO,ouo a

in the first two years 01 tne war
than in thp. last vear, because in the
first two years there was much heav-

of this year has resulted in reliev

into the bank, or a large proportion
01 it at any rate-
This story is typical of what has:
happened in the southern section of.
Robeson county. The cotton crop is
sorry, just as sorry as it was last
year, perhaps, but this can be ov-'
erlooked when tobacco can be sold
at such handsome prices and
the yield is good, as was the case
this year.
No Talk of Hard Times
There is no talk of hard times in
this section, but everywhere one
finds the farmers optimistic. It is
true that a dollar does not go far ,
tnese days a"d money is cheap, out
it is safe to say that the 18 banks'
that Robeson now has will not be!
derelict in bringing to the atten-j
tion of the farmers the need of sav
ing, which has been -dearly pointed (
out by Governor Bickett in a recent
statement to the people of the State.
That there will come a time when
tobacco will not sell for such'hand-,
some prices and that money will
not always be so cheap as it is now,;
are facts that cannot betoo strong

There is a real danger of being too
optimistic, but when farmers and.
others apply their money to estab-j
