tions at the rate of over four thou
sand a week. The week ending Oct
ober 10th. Four thousand, one hun
dred and forty-one new members
came into the associations.
The deliveries of cotton are appar
ently going to be the heaviest of any
year, with the possible exception of
last season, which were the heaviest
on record. The deliveries to the
North Carolina Cotton Growers As
sociation are already nearly as much
as they were during the entire sea
son several years ago.
This rapid increase in both mem
bership and deliveries may be attri
buted to three things largely; the
need of money now and higher pi *
ecs later,"The prer.vums paid by the
associations for the better grades
and staples, and hotly, the" convic
tion that co-operative marketing of

about the mound. The grave is lo

Chief'White Eagle, who came here
under the auspices of thd Loyal Or

in-the grave for 122 hours, appeared
none the worse this morning for his
two nights underground.' He passes
his . time by reading, sleeping and
conversing with those'' who come to
see him. He admitted that it takes
lots of "nerve” to pull the stunt,
though the only danger, he said, is
from a cave-in.
White Eagle has some^ semblance
of the aboriginal American, his voice
betrays his Indian dialect, and he hag
tile high cheek bones characteristic
of his rpce., He^is intelligent, well

Some 20,000 people from North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia
p.nd other States saw the university
team of Georgia defeat, the North
Chirorna. University' team at Chapel
Hili last Saturday afternoon 32 to 7.
A large number of fans from San
ford attended the game. Hundreds
of cars passed through Sanford go
ing to and from the game. For hoars,
before the gams opened the road |
was lined with cars almost as thick
as a funeral procession. The scene
about this great institution of learn!

ey spent for liquor* by’mafty 'of those j
ifrho witnessed the game would prob
ably have paid the expenses of op
erating the Sanford schools for a
year, and the men did not drink all
the liquor that was consumed on that
occasion. About all the space for a
mile or so in and around Chapel Hill
was taken up by , cars along the high
ways. Many of these were new high
priced cars. It would be interesting
to know just what'all those cars cost. j
The oil and gas used by people go-,
ing to and from the game cost a big
sum of money. Each fan paid $2.50
to see the game. Add that to the
, other items of expense connected
with the game and sum total would
probably be well oyer $100,000.
