The very large crop of nearly
10,000,000 bales last year will
go for towards making up foi
this years short crop of perhaps

There is a curious bit of historv
in regard to the late war which is
perhaps not known to over a dozen
porde in the State. Some time m
18GO a number of gentlemen met in
Halifax county hud took the initial
steps of a movement to request the
French Emperor to take North Car
