The government issued its report last Friday of the condition of the cotton crop to the period ending May 25th; this condition was given as 69.6 per cent, of normal, compar ed with 66 last year, 62.4 in 1920, 75.6 in 1919, and 74.6 the ten-year average. The condition for the crop in North Carolina was put at 84. For Richmond county at 80, as compar ed with 72 to same period last year. The Anson county crop was put at 74, Montgomery at 80, Moore at 87, Stanly 87, Scotland 86, Roberson 84. J The government admitted in its report that it had overestimated the acreage planted ana pickea last year by 918,000 acres. The revised figures puts last year's acreage at 31,678,000 planted and 30,500,000 picked. The estimated yield, based on condition of 09.0, according to the government's revised formula, is ap proximately 10,700,000 bales. Such an indicated yield would be more bullish if it were not for the fact that the probabilities are for more favorable weather during the rest of June, and a consequent improve ment in the crop. But local people contend there will not be 10,000,000 bales raised, as they say the boll weevil will do vastly more damage throughout the South this year than ever before. In fact, the complaints of his damage further South are coming in daily. Here in Richmond county the wee vil is reported from very near every part of the county already. Last year the weevil was not found un til about picking time. And the fact that he is here in great numbers now, apparently waiting for the bolls to form so he can begin feed ing and reproducing, makes those pessimistically inclined to be. even more so. But they comfort them selves with the feeling that the price will be nearer 25 cents this fall than 15 centsand even perhaps up to wards 30 cents. Banquet for Grand Master Tuesday evening a number of Odd Fellows and their friends tendered Rev. W. R. Coppedge, Grand Master I. O. O. F., a sump tious banquet at their hall, being served by the members of Rey nolds Rebekah Lodge. The Pee Dee band furnished appropriate music for the occa sion.

Owing to a technicality, the elec tion held for Ellerbe school district on November 19th, 1921, and which was earned overwhelmingly for $15,000 in school bonds, is found to be void; or "rather the bonds from that election could not be sold profit ably. And so another election is to be held to take the place of the pre vious election. This will be on Au gust 1st, and the bond issue will be for $15,000 for school improvement The registrar is D.

A miniature May pole in green and white was ar ranged in the living room, and at the ends of the 36 streamers was placed small white baskets in the shape of a rose, for each guest, these containing green mints.

SLOAN, Major, F. A. Arnstein Building, Knoxville, Tenn. June 2nd, 1922. Must Report Diseases. We are now threatened with an epidemic of whooping cough in Kicnmond county, as tnere were 43 cases reported to me during May. Now is the time for each and every one to do their part in the prevention oflfurther spread of this disease, and probably save the lives of many children who would otherwise develop the dis ease and likely die. The way to stop the spread is to report all suspected cases promptly to the quarantine officer. When a case of any contagious disease is suspected in a home the law requires it to be reported within.24 hours after the symp toms are sufficient to lead us to suspect the disease. If a doctor is consulted in regard to a case, it is his duty to report; if no doc tor is consulted it is the duty of the parent or householder to re port it. If there is a case of any of the reportable diseases in the county that has not been report ed, some one has violated the law. i ne people oi tne county are entitled to the protection which the law affords them, and it has been entrusted to me to see that the Quarantine law is enforced in this county, and the people re ceive the protection against dis ease which they are entitled to. I am under oath to do my duty in regard to this matter, so if any one violates this law they may expect to be prosecuted. Respectfully yours, Dr. W. R. Mcintosh, Quarantine Officer. Troops in Germany. In compliance with requests from Germany and the allied powers, a small force of Ameri can troops is to be retained at Coblenz on the Rhine beyond July 1st, the date originally set for the complete withdrawal of our troops from German terri tory. Major General Allen and two battalions of the Eighth in fantry, with supplementary units, will compose a force of about 1000 men, and these will remain in Germany. Mangum Epw orth League.
