The cotton situation is alarming Pinners, Merchants and Banks are intensely interested It appears to us that the erlr sure ww
to realise a lair price for the cotton that we, have on hand and for that which we will produce this year, is to cut down the acreara tK
year at least ONE THIRD. It is very unwise to plant a normal acreage in cotton this year and trust to LUCK for an advancefanrSa
either in the near future or next fall. Our best information convinces us that the cotton manufacturing industries, of America and En
rope combined, will not use anything like a normal amount of cotton during the present year. WHEN WE PROVE to the cotton man
ufacturing interests that will have less cotton for sale next fall, we will get a better price for that which we now have TO PROVE
THIS, we must reduce acreage this year.

A Good Word for Present Road Board
Good County 'Home Needed
Farmers Preparing Land.
BY W. H. M. BROWN..
Buie, March 4. The beautiful days
that are now passing by are being tak
en advantage of by the most of farm
ers in the preparation of their land.
I notice in going over the country
not only in Robeson is it so, but there
are bad roads in other sections, It is
impossible to make things perfect.
But I will venture to say the roads in
Robeson have had a better showing
since the present road board has tak
en charge than ever before, and as a
whole I think we have better roads,
considering the kind of weather we
have had of late. Roads could not be
expected to stand the same as dry
weather. ;
I would love to see our Senator
and Representatives pass a law mak
ing and giving Robeson county a nice
county home, then makes it a law that
it must be run rieht. and the old
folks given a square deal in their last
days in this world.
Glad to - see these Lumberton
preachers come, out against the dirty
shows. They, are doing the right
thing. These shows ought to be

stopped from scattering their filth
over the land.
Sunday school and prayer meeting
is rapidly 'growing into one among
the best prayer meetings and Sunday
schools in Robeson county and will
some day if not already be among the
best in the State. Mr. J. S. Jones of
Red Springs will conduct the prayer
meeting on next Sunday night.
