NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 1, 1S21 lOHON ADVANCES SOUTH IS IIAPPY A Jump Of Nearly Four Cents In A Week Promise! Pros perity .To The South The gun is H beginning "to "shine through the clouds- of pessimism in - Dixie land again and the reason for it is the big jump in the price of cot ' ton that has taken place lately.' f An " advance of nearly four cents a pound Ja a week is th,e thing that has hap . pened and which causes the farmers , to wear a pleased expression and the merchants and other business folks . tc sit up and take notice.;; v Ever since the Federal government . Issued, its forecast some weeks ago of an eight million: bale crop this "year the market has shown strength' and a. gradual rise in; price has . followed. In the last few, dayg spot Cotton in New York has' sold as high as 16.60 ; December , futures - at -16.98 and March and later months :" at : 17.08. There has been great excitement on v the floors of the cotton exchanges in , New York, New Orleans and other markets and much buying and selling of futures is going on.' A month or so ago when spot cot ' ton was selling in this Stat at ten cents, pessimists were saying that the crop this year would not bring any thing and, there r was considerable ', gloom in evidence among business "? people and farmers. , A few people ".at that time had faith and predicted . fifteen cents for the new crop but there were many , unbelievers. Now with spot cotton selling tn Raleigh ' and other States markets at fifteen ; and a half they are Ulking' very dif- fetintly.' Some 'are already saying that the crop will bring twenty cents and a few bold ones talk even high. '.' er prices. r . '' . , . ' lNo one can tell now what I this year's irtji of Cotton will average At course, but one thing "seems sure and thai is that ft' will be ' over fifteen -'cents 'and probably somewhere ' be itwecn that figure and twenty. .". There art said to be' something more, than eight million bales of old - coton In this country and it is fig ured that the new crop will be about : ela-ht mllliona. If these figures are eorrect it means "that soma sixteen million bales of cotton will be sold in America in the next twelva months and if it brings fifteen cents a pound . more than a billion dollar will be put : in circulation. It looks like King ;" Cotton is coming back into bis old t glorf and power and that prosperity will again amile upon the South. - OFFICERS SEIZE CAR - '-;. ' . .

For its first season of paid baseball this is regarded as a good showing., As stated in the News last ', week the first series of five, games between Beaufort and Morehead" r City ;was won. by the home team -with : three games out of fifive. The second se ries resulted in a tie, as each side got two games and the fifth which was to be played in Morehead City Saturday war not played on , account of rain. A few of the games were one sided and not particularly interesting but some of them were close and exciting One of the best games played here this season was that pulled off last Thursday tin the Beauf ort-Morehead City contest It was a, hair raising affair all the " way - through. f Both pitchers did -fine work and the in fielders and outfielders were right on their tiptoes all through the game. Each side got men on bases and made desperate efforts to score but only one lonesome run came across which was made by, JV Caffrey in the sev enth inning. Caffrey hit ; a ; swift liner to center and made two bases on it He was followed by Skarren who drove a hot grounder .through Minshaw's legs who played second gamebase (the only error during the game) and Caffrey raced home with the tally. Caffrey got another hit after this and go K4 ? pollock but neither was able to score. R. .Smith for Morehead City struck out IS men walked ' two- and allowed four hita, Caffrey geting three of them. "Per ry for -Beaufort gave op four hits, walked S, made 1 wild pitch and struck out 8;" ' i ' ' . ; LIEUTENANT ESTERLY V ONCE - UVED HERE Lieutenant Marcus H.

Joint army and navy board; on the lessons to be drawn from the recent bombing tests held off the Virginia Capes bears out the conclusions of those who refused to permit their Judgment to be warped by the spectacular nature of the ex-' periments. ,Far? from spelling tKe "doom ' of thebattleship", as some air enthusiasts chose to regard . te sinking by bombs of the condemned German' warships, the report state's that "instead of furnisheing an eco-. nomical instrument of war .leading to the abolition of the battleship, the development of aircraft has added, to the complexity of naval warfare." . In the case of the sinking, of the German battleship Ostfrlesland it was demonstrated, according to the report, that if "high capacity, high- explosive bombs of sufficient size' can be placed in the Water close alongside the vessel" it will be sunk. But the report emphasizes the fact that the tests against the Ostfrlesland were not conducted under battle con ditions and the percentage of hita recorded "was greatly in' excess- of that to be expected in ' actual . tat tle. " Airplanes would be ' greatly handicapped, declared the board, if the. vessels attacked were moving at high speed on varying courses, and protected by anti-aircraft armament -Future policies suggested by the testa and outlined by the boards are the maximum possible development of aviation in both the army and na vy, provision for aircraft carriers in thefleet to give greater mobility to the. air service, the provision of pur suit planes as a part of the equip ment of a fleet, and the rapid .devel opment of anti-aircraft armament Congress alrea'dy has indicated an in tention to follow policies of that sort and if the tests' result in their adop tion advances will have been made in our- system of '. national defense that will have . fully Justified the An" d N.vy in. concevh,gnd 'carrring os ui wuimui - CaarU Bo((d Dowta. ))f .Jg addiUong, UnIud Suu, clr. .

Stetes Department of Agriculture.: " Clover, vetch, and other lesrumes serve the tripple purpose of adding numus to the, soil, accumulating jii trcgen, and preventinsr soil erosion. With some tender berry . and fruit i crops .they also serve to protect the roots from severe winter weather. Outside.' of ' the nitrogen-forming plants, rye is largely used as a cover; crop sown in the fall and plowed un der in the spring to add organic mat ter to the soil.'

EFFORTS BEING MADE " TO PAY BASEBALL DC3TS ' A meeting of a few baseball sup porters was held in the rooms of the Old Topsail Club Tuesday evenine at which' the finances of the associa tion; were discussed and ah effort was made to straighten them out. Those- who were present subscribed to a fund to pay off the debts of the association and yesterday a subscrip tion was taken up to Sid the cause. The subscriptions and the rental for the grounds received yesterday from the colored "players amounted to about $150. .This money . is being used to pay off- the players and is almost sufficient" to pay the balance due them. Besides the amount due the players there - are also ' other debts against the association which probably amount to $500 to $600. What plans will be made to pay off this indebtedness is not yet known, to fact, none have been made; but those who are looking after the mat ter say something must be done in order , to keep baseball from getting under a cloud in Beaufort; " The baseball association has spent considerable money on 'its grounds and for uniforms and other supplies, The park was fenced in and seats erected there and these things are assets if it is desired to have, base ball here next year. The property of the ass6ciatlon as it now stands represents an outlay of close on to a thousand dollars and if the public here wants baseball next year it will not be difficult to sret started.' The News understands that a meeting will be held soon an effort made to make some arrangement whereby the debts of the association can be paid so that it can start next season with a clean bill of health. , .

The appraiser was in Craven county recently and it ia thought that he may be able to come here soon as he Is probably some where near here now. There has been a considerable number of ap plications for loans in this county and it is thought that these loans would relieve the financial stringency here considerably. . AUTO BREAKS MULE'S LEG.
