Mr. A. S. Alley one of the
foremost country merchants and
tamers of Iredell county has
eclipsed anyone on the hog rais
ing industry, so far we have
been informed. He butchered a
"pig" Tuesday morning that
weighed 637 pounds : His hog
ship would have been thiee
years old in May but for his fit

Mr. Lamar Cline tells us that
the dredging crew has finished
with Smyre's creek and that as
soon as possible the boat will be
taken to Cline's creek west of
Conover, at the Capt. Bost place.
We note in the Landmark that
the big dredge boat on Third
creek sunk one night last week
and that the case is a tough one
for the crew. A dam must be
built above it and all the water
pumped out before the nature of
the injury can be discovered.
It is thought that the the boat
hit a snag.—Newton News.

To Reduce Cotton Acreage.
New Orleans Dispatch, aist.
The executive committee of
the Southern Cotton Congress
adjourned tonight after deciding
upon a plan to secure a reduction
in the cotton acreage of the
South to the extent of 25 per
cent next year and taking steps
to secure the uniform operation
of the plan in all the cotton
growing States.
The plan adopted is a modifi
cation of the so-called "Rock
Hill plan," which was proposed
to the committee by Judge An
derson, of Rock Hill, S. C., and
provides for securing signed
pledges from farmers through
State and county organizations.
In the "declaration" adopted it
is specifically stated that the
organization "does not wish to
do anything which may be in
violation of the Sherman anti
trust law."
The State organizations are to
call upon bankers and business
men to assist the farmers in se
curing sufficient organization ex
penses. Each State organization,
headed by a superintendent, is to
appoint committees in each coun
ty and, in turn, township com
mittees are to be organized.
Paid canvassers are to be em
ployed to secure signatures of
farmers to the pledges to curtail
acreage.
The report on acreage reduc
tion from the various State su
perintendents, are to be filled
with E. J. Watson, president of
the Congress, at Columbia, S. C.,
by March 1, 1912, and, after the
figures are compiled, they will be
published throughout the South.
The committee recomended
that farmers' rallies, intended to
aid in this movement, be held on
January 25, next at every school
house in the cotton belt, to be
followed on January 27 by county
rallies at the various county
seats.

in West Hickory. The Ivey mill
shut down on Friday before
Christmas and started up again
Wednesday morning, Dec. 27.
Nearly all of the hands was here
and ready for work when the
mill started. The weather was
so rainy and damp during Christ
mas that very few of the hands
went off visiting, all preferring
to stay at home and at their
boarding places during the bad
weather. G. T. Barger, Chief of
Police and J, Lafon, Patrolman,
say that there was no disturb
ance in the town during the holi
days and that they have had very
little to do. The Ivey-naili start
ed this morning Jan, 1, on the 10
hour system. The mill will now
start at 6:30 a. m. and stop at
p. m. and stopping one hour
for dinner and then stopping at
11:30 a. m. on Saturday, making
60 hours a week.

vice in their new church here
Saturdey evening before Christ
mas. The exercise consisted of
a number of songs and recita
tions by the children and also a
nice Christmas tree and a treat
for all the members of the school.
All the children performed their
parts in the exercise well, show
ing that they had been thorough
ly trained and also showing that
Miss Thurby Whitener knows
how to train and prepare the
children so as to have a fine en
tertainment. And while the
weather was unfavorable there :
was a large crowd present and ,
all seemed to enjoy ehemselves I
while many said that the first ]
service in the new church had
been a success.
