Cotton Conditio.
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

Ellerbe Election.
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

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

two battalions of the Eighth in
fantry, with supplementary units,
will compose a force of about
1000 men, and these will remain
in Germany.
