Cotton Wri Sell Etch
With cotton soiling at a good
price, the averages paid for tobacco
la Washington reaching the top
notch price, it la thought that a wave
of prosperity is striking this section'
that blda fair to rival that of 1913
when a jumper crop of everything
was realised in this aeetlon.
Not only are the .business condi
tions Ir. Washington assuming a
more pleaasat shape, bat reports re
ceived here.from all sections of East
ern Caroling denote a great Increase
?in Jbusdne^ within the past Year
I weeks.
Henry Walters, an official of the
i Atlantic Coaet Line who is today In
I Rocky Mount Inspecting the com
>any'a shops there, and who It
'.bought to be a high authority on
til business matters, statee that a
vare of prosperity Is striking the
routh, the like 6f which has seldom
?eeu seen in the 'entire history of
the 8outh.
Mr. Waltera states that the Coast
Line Is now on the eve of making
vast Improvements, in its Eastern
Carolna system In order to accom
modate the increasing amount of
bMiftass.

Mr. Walters stated that it was
seldom that he talked of commer
cial matters, but that in the 8outh'>
case now. he felt that It was time
to speak, "for," said he, "the South
is right on the eve of seeing busi
ness pick Up. With ithe govern
ment's declaration that the cotton
crop is small the northern faetorlcr
are buying Up all they can get. The)
have got to have the cotton and wltfc
the South's production this year a
little less of 12,000,000 bales this
cotton will have to bring a good
price."
In the opinion of Mr. Walters, thr
price of cotton will increase within
the next few weeks.
PASTOR THANKS DAILY .TEWS
Appreciated AmJaUoc? Given Dur
ing Revival Service?.
Mr. Editor:
On behalf of Mr. Loftln and the
Baptist church and myself I want
to thank you for your excellent re
ports of our services and of the ser
mons. Tho Dally News did a gener
ous and splendid part In the effort
to make the meetings a success.
Mr. Loftin's preaching was strong
vigorous, intensely evangelistic and
sound to the core. We believe that
his sermons will be productive of a
higher standard of piety on the pari
of all real Christians who heard
him and we hope they will yet be
fruitful In the salvation of some
who are lost.
^ ft must be confessed that the
Christian religion Is at a rather low
ebb 1U Washington. A majority even
of tfee church members seem far
more Interested In things present
than fft things etsraV?, more anxious
to gain a dollar ibaj)..tOLWln a soul,!
mor? eager for the perishing pleas
ures than for those that abide for
ever . Ode Important fact our peo
ple seem to forget, that an irre
ligious town U, or will soon become
an lfamoral town. The godless town
of today will be the lawless town of
tomorrow. Th? difference between
t h* moral life of Aiaeriee and that
of Africa la the difference bp t ween
the religions of the two countries.
We have nothing to lose even In
this lower view of religion. Th?
death of soul In th? higher v^sw Is

(By Eastern Press)
Kinaton. Oct. 1.?At Falling
Creek this morning, the sheriff seiz
ed a trunk of liquor, which was
whipped to that paint and also plac
jU J. F. jPottar ^rtto'jtrreat, under
suspicion of being connected with
the shipment.
According to Potter he was com
ing from Not-folk last night on thai
Norfolk Southern train. Just be-1
fore reaching Washington, a man,
who stated that his name was J. R.
Skinner, asked him to hand the
trunk checks to the conductor, so
that the trunks would be put off at
Falling Creek. There is no station i
agent at the latter station. Potter
claims that Skinner left the train at
Washington. He handed the checks
to the conductor, as directed.
The sheriff had received a tele
gram from a detective In Norfolk,
notifying him of the shipment of
liquor and asking him to be on
the lookout for It. Potter Is a man
of excellent reputation In this sec
tion. and his story of the afTair Is
believed. An efTort Is being made
to learn the Identity of "J. R. Skin
ner" who left the train at Washing
ton.
It is believed that "Skinner" was
afraid to take off the trunks at
Washington and had them sent on
to Falling Creek, where he probably
intended to got them at the first a
vallable opportunity.
