To the Editor of The Robesonian: In a recent issue of your paper I wrote an article regarding the stock of the Fisheries Product Company, etc. This company claims that I have made an error as to the stock-1 hold in it, as I stated I held $200.00 of commo. stock. I have investigated this and it seems that I was in error concerning the stock I hold, as I bought $200.00 worth of stock and got two shares of preferred stock and four shares of common stock. They offered to give $1.00 worth of fish scrap or any brand of Fisco fer tilizer they sell on each share of com mon stock. Also, I stated that their prices on fertilizer averaged about $10.00 per ton higher than the prces of last year, which were $50.00 and $56.00. Last year' they sold only two grades of fertilizer, whereas, this year they are selling seven grades with prices as follows: $47.50, $47.75, $56.25, $63.75, $50.50, $62.25 and $78.75. They say that according to the analy sis their fertilizer is $2.50 per ton cheaper. I am very glad to make these cor rections and wish td say that I have not tried to hurt- or do any damage to the Fisheries Product Company. In fact, I thought it was the best of any of the fish scrap companies and am still of this opinion. E. E. PAGE. Lumberton, N. C, Feb. 15, 1921.

Perhaps only one person in the room knew what anniversary of Dr. Beaman's birth those present had gatherer to celebrate, and he didn't tell; but it did not, make a bijt of difference; everybody had a splendid time and enjoyed the occasion just as much as if it had been the anniversary of the birth of his sweetheart. Ladies of the church served delicious refresh ments. Before that, though, the ladies brought out a cake with twenty-one lighted candles in it, and they sang and waved a happy birthday to their beloved pastor and made him blow out the whole shootingmatch. Dr. Beaman did tell, too, how old he was. He said he didn't care, who knew. He said if he lived to see the 31st of next February he'd be ninety-five ' old. Dear, dear, noboay thought he was so old as alT tha.t, but all expressed the nope inai ne would remain as shepherd of this flock until the 31st day of February comes and have a birthday every once in a while if not oftener.

If large crops of cotton and tobacco are planted this spring it will result in continued low prices, and even lower prices during the. fall and winter of 1921. Acreage planted to those crops should not exceed one-half of last year's acreage and more feed and food crops should be planted to a void sending millions of dollars away from home for feed and food. Our course will be to confine our loans to banks, supply mer chants, etc. insisting upon the above policy and practice, in their re spective communities. We invite co-operation and correspondence from our banks and other customers on this subject. Very' respectfully, JOHN M. MILLER JR., Pres. ... First National Bank of Richmond, Virginia. The above is the contents of a recent letter received from our correspondent The First National Bank, Richmond, Va., one of the largest banks in the South. With the permission of Mr. Miller, the president, we are publishing jhe letter. We are making an earnest ap peal to every farmer and merchant to heeed the advice that it offers. We shall be pleased to have our friends and patrons come in and talk with us. The conditions confronting all of us, merits our best, thought in the formulation of our plans and operations for this year. Your friends, The Planters Bank & Trust Company 1 ivi - - - - - Proctorville Points. Things Even Up Usually Fine Play by Orrum High School New Resi dences Brilliant Street Lights Proctorvill is "Some" Town. By W. Jerome Stephens Proctorville, Feb: 21. Farmers in and arftlnd our town seem puzzled as to what crops will pay them best. Hut what for that, all things, as farming impliments and food and clothing, are coming cheap together, and after all times are not so hard as people think they are. A pretty, warm, sunshiney day, and then a real cold one, pinches awful. This is the same way with the prosperity of the last four years with the so-called panic of today. The Orrum high school gave the play, "The Dust of the Earth" Fri day night of last week with a very good attendance. The reporter heard one man say, "why, they put that thing over just like the movies." The school may carry this play to other parts of the county and State in near future. Very glad to report the condition of Mr. D. E. Nance, who has been on the sick list fof some time, lots im proved.X Mr. END. Graham of Wilmington, was a visitor at his father's home near here Friday of last week, Mr. Samuell Graham. Mr. E. D. Freeman and daughter, Miss Ellen of Lumberton passed through cur town last Thursday even ing. Among the new residences of our town that have recently gone up are those of Mr. S. A. Watson and Mr. Dauce Nobles. O, the brilliance of our street lights! no mere slipping up in the mud on the streets of Proctorville unless your eyes are bad. A light hangs on every corner. Proctorville ir. a town of sterling wealth located in as nice a farming section as any town in the county. It is locaterl on the railroad junction of the Seaboard (Raleigh & Charles ton) running from Lumberton to Marion, S. C, and the Coast Line short cut from Conway, S. C., to Elrod, N. C. Locking across the most business parts of town any one may see the block of stores occupied by merchants of prominence: Messrs. V. R. Surles and F. F. Purvis, andC. C. Fenwell, then the bank on the cor ner just acres the R. & C. R. R., the ".arge millinery store with Mrs. D. E. Nance manager, and others as follows: Sealy grocery, Parlor gro cery Co., brick, gin and power com pany, W. J. Walters, market, H. Bar nes. Then looking across the beauti ful residental part of town we see more than a few of these. The two large tobacco warehouses, in the northern parts of town is also another prominent outlook of a fu; ture town. The first Baptist church adds much to the western view. The town is erected on a hill between two swamps, Big and Litle Indian, and on the slopes of these swamps the best grades of tobaceo of the county at large can be grown. Presbyterian, Dr. G. E.
