Many funny things occurred during the race. Three of us boys on horseback.and two cars, and as we passed a tenant house' of the Malloy Bros, big farm one mule broke out the stall and lot and join ed the race, keeping pace with the other horses, jumping ditches,, cross ing the. rail road and through .the forest snd fields, and refused d 'go back ith ! her. , owner until the fax was caught. : But the most amusing things was when the fox came in close range of Leslie Everitt in the middle of a large cotton farm. He at once proceeded to end the chase by speeding up his horse, so they had it for several hundred yards, and then he leaped from his saddle and a foot race such as you never heard of took place; and Mr. Everitt finally brought the fox to a halt and captured him alone. The fox was allowed to rest a few minutes and was again given his freedom and the dogs again struck the trail and the fox was re captured after about half-mile dis tance. Some race.

Ai. Brown Buie, Oct. lTl--Since the recent plowing of much of the road between Lumberton and Philadelphus we learn that it is fine for traveling. Rally day at Mt Tabor Sunday school two weeks ago, was a credit1 to the ladies who' got up the program, also to the boys and girls, who car ried out their different parts so splendidly, on that same day in Sun day school, the attendance was the largest since the present Sunday school was started near two years ago. But we are still looking forward to a larger attendance. Several who have not been coming say they are go ing to come, and to . these and all others we wish to give a cordial wel come. Why not spend a part of the Lords day at some church in Sunday school? , The new Sunday school recently opened up in the Baptist church here is progressing nicely. Our very best wishes go out to our Baptist friends here in their church work. ; We hear right much conplaint from different people about the high taxes that they are having to pay,, and as for the writer's part, it seems to us that we have had an unreasonable tax to pay for several years, in the fact that swamp land is assessed at almost the same as some of our neigh bors' hill land. Still we will have to give Way to the' higher authorities and do as they say along this line. And as a -matter of fact, taxes is something that must be paid, and it is just as well to pay and not be complaining. ; ' s A negro living "on the farm of Mr. N. B.

Receipts of Co-op Cotton Are Heavy Arrangements Made for Storing Over flow Cotton Grading Department Working Over-Time Fearful Con gestion at Many Points. Raleigh. Oct. 17. Owing to the heavy receipts of the last few days from its members, the North Caro lina Cotton Growers Cooperative as sociation has been forced to make arrangements for storing overflow cotton in Norfolk and Charleston while several thousand bales have been sent to Wilmington. On account of the . congestion at Greensboro, an embargo was put on this week by the Southern railway at that point and at Charlotte, ' where the cooperatives have their main con. centration warehouse, two hundred carloads of cotton were reported on the sidetracks today, and the con gestion there : was said to be fearful All -. the i storage space contracted for at Fayetteville and Clinton has been' filled up and the warehouse at Smithfield reported fifteen ears of cooperative cotton on the sidings and asked that shipments to that concen tration point be diverted. The grading department of the co operatives is working every minute that light will permit to get the cot ton received from its members class ed and the off ice. force is working a night shift to get receipts out and advices to members on weights and grades, according to General Mana ger U. B. Blalock. i tie cooperatives report Tine co operation on the part of members, and every effort is being exerted to give them prompt service. The early maturity of the crop and the unusual ly favorable weather for picking for the first six weeks of the season has caused a fearful congestion of cotton at many points, making it difficult for the railroads to handle cotton promptly. Sales Manager Lawrence MacRae, just back from a trip through the Southern cotton belt, reports a hospi table reception from the cotton mills he visited. He took with him a line of samples from the classing rooms of the cooperatives and showed large buyers the kind of cotton they can buy from the cooperatives. While the association is In the midst of the marketing season, Gen eral Manager Blalock has already be. gun making plans for next year and in a statement issued to members to day, he calls on them to begin now to get ready to fight the boll weevil next season. He advises diversifica tion as one of the most effective wea. pons with which to fight the pest, but also wants the growers to prepare to raise some cotton. . Plowing under all cotton stalks and claning up of ditch banks and hedges as soon as the cotton is picked is urg ed by Mr. Blalock as the first step in getting ready for next year's crop.
