A good many cotton seed
are shipped away from this
place every winter and spring.
It is said that the meal from a
bushel of cotton seed is worth
as much for fertilizer as the
seed before the oil is taken out.
We notice that some of our far
mers are exchanging seed for
meal, but do not know in what
proportion the trade is made.
If it were not for the oil trust,
an oil mill here would be a good
investment. .

On April 18th there
be a large gathering of bankers
and investors of the Northern
States at Southern Pines in
Moore county. The board of
trade of Southern Pines ha is
sued circular letters to all the
boards of county commissioners
and Mayors of towns in this
section of the State asking them
to send a representative from
their county or town to : this
meeting and meet these North
ern capitalists and present the
advantages that their commu
nity or section presents for man
ufacturing interests and the in
vestment of capital. Harnett
county has many natural ad
vantages and we think that our
town and county would do well
to send a representative to this
meeting.
The crossing at the depot
is getting to be a dangerous
place. Recently there have
been several narrow escapes
fhere, from being run over by
trains. Most of the fast trains
and tli rough freights pass here
at fates of speed greater than is
allowed by our town ordinances.
We think that if the trajns are
to be allowed to go -at such
speed through the town. ' the
railroad company should be re
quired to put up arms and have
them thrown across the street
while the trains are passing at
this crossing especially, as ;the
warehouse obstructs the Tiew
on one side, and box cars, gen
erally, on the other. Unless
some measure is taken some
one will be caught there some
of these days by a train.
