A TRIBUTE OF CONSECRATION By John R. McQuigg. National Commanded, The American Legion. One hundred and fifty years ago the United States of America came into being. Then thirteen sparseiy settled Mi nnies on the eastern fringe of this continent threw off the dominion ot foreign power and took their place as a united and independent nation among the nations of the earth. Op Juiy 4, 1776, the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of) independence, that chiefest charter of j American iiberty, that inspiration to democracy, to "government of the pcopie, by the peopie, for the pcopie,"' among aii nations. -canning at this point 01 time, amid a nation of H5 millions of people set Hed on rii ti continent and enjoying a power and prestige chief, among the nations, it may be difficutt for us to appreciate the dangers and hardships which faced the signers of the Declar ation. Petits of war confronted them. I unishment for treason, death await t'd them if their efforts faded. And there were the sufferings and sacri iices which by their act they decreed lor their compatriots. Ihc bitter struggtes of six years of "ar, ending with the hard-won triumph over Cornwaitis and his t'oops at Yorktown m 1781, bear witness to the (taring of the step which these tattlers of the nation took that day in independence Hat). Etornai "igitatnc is the price of- liberty at tained; death and privation, the lleta vaie and Yaltey Forge, the price of itertyasitisheingwon. iL ]s v.eii that the nation should on his one hundred and fiftieth annivcr ary of the first Juiy Fourth cete fate the act which gave it birth and lace among the nations. ft is wc)i tat we should honor those who took tv step, ft is wolf that we should pay ihutc to the peopie of that genera-!

Washington, July 2.—(AP)—Pres ent indications point to a slightly smaller cotton crop this year than last, the department of agriculture announced today in its first quantita tive report of the season. A forecast of 15,635,000 bales, or about 450,000 bales less than last year, was made on the June 25 condi tion of the crop, which 75.4 per cent of a normal. The area in cultivation j on that date was 48,898,000 acres, or 1.7 per cent hiore than a year ago. ! Should abandonment of,acreage equal the average of the last 10 years, the area remaining to be harvested would ! be 47,153,000 acres. In announcing its forecast, the crop reporting board included two addi tional sets of potential production figures. Should unfavorable condi tions prevail from now until time of picking, similar to conditions of 1921, Jt'zz anu a totat protection 13,726,000 bates might he expepteu, it stated. Shoutd favorable condi tions be experienced, such as pre vaited in 1924 and 1925, a total crop of lb,294,000 bates might be expected. Ptanting of the crop has been late except in the extreme western end of the cotton belt. Satisfactory stands have now been secured in most parts of the belt. Weather conditions, so far this season, have been fairly fav orable) Weevils seem iKywer in num ber than a year ago, except in Louis iana and Texas. Rather wide infes tation by the hopper, especially in Texas, Louisiana and Georgia, com bined with the lateness of the season in most states, leave the crop in an unfavorable position should the num ber of weevils increase materially lat er in the season.

Greens boro Daily News.)—The condition of cotton in North Carolina fields on June 25 was 14 points below that of the same date of 1925, and 12 points below the five-year average, accord ing ^o a report issued today by the top reporting board of the depart ment of agriculture. Only in the states of Virginia and South Carolina were conditions lower, Virginia re p rting 62 per cent of normal and South Carolina 55 per cent, as com pared with North Carolina's 63 per cent. The area in cuitivation June 25, ac cording' to a preiiminary estimate, was 2.057,000 acres in North Caro lina, an increase of 1 per cent over !!'25. Virginia had hut 03,000 acres, a drop of 8 per cent over last year, whiic South Caroiina reported 2,789. 000 acres, an increase of 3 per cent. A totai of 4,028,000 acres is under cotton cuitivation in Georgia an in trease of 10 per cent over 1925, while Horida also reported a 10 per cent Increase, with 113,000 acres, these two states showing the greatest per centage increase of any state in the cotton belt.

The fact that the Federal Collector of Revenue collects more taxes m North Carolina than is collected in all the strictly Southern States speaks trumpet-tongued of the progress of this State. To be sure, tlue cigarette and other tobacco taxes ' are later shifted to the consumers who do the smoking, but the fact that this tax is paid in North Carolina shows the magnitude of the tobacco industry lo cated in and built up by North Caro lina brains and mainly by North Caro lina money. In the last fiscal year there was collected in North Carolina in inter nal revenue taxes $167,000,000. The standing of the five States paying the most is as follows: North Carolina .. ..$102,000,000 Michigan. 106000,000 Illinois. 202,000,000 Pennsylvania . . .. 246,000,000 New York. 658,000,000 Of the payments in North Carolina, $4,000,000 came frou^ miscellaneous sources; $18,000 000 from taxes on in 666 is a prescription for Malaria,, Chills and Fever, Dengue or Bilious Fever.

THE RAW MATERIA!, IN MAN When one is inclined to swell up over the thought of one's importance in the world, it might be well to re flect on one's actual value on the market at the rate of 60 cents a hun dred pounds. A scientist has estimated the constituents of the average man whose weight is 150 pounds. In that body there is enough fat to make seven bars of soap, enough salt to lit! a smal] shaker, iron to make two 2-penny nails, lime to whitewash two chicken coops, and enough sulphur t' kill the fleas on the average dog. Thus the value of a human body ranges in value from approximately NOTtCE OF ADMWtSTKATmX. Having qualified as administratrix of the fstatf of A. H. Pittman, deceased. late of' !t-)b^.son County.
