Buskin, 47 Bar Association Organized A meeting of the members of the Bar of Halifax County was held in the Court House on Jan. 31st, 1921, at which time an or ganization was affected known as the Halifax County Bar Asso ciation. Mr. W. E. Daniel was elected Chairman and Mr. Wil liam L. Knight Secretary. One of the objects of the Association was to effect dome uniformity of charges for professional services by the various attorneys of the County and a schedule for the use of the members of the asso ciation was adopted. . On motion, the following reso lution was adopted: "That any Justice of the Peace, Notary Public or other person, natura or corporate, not a duly licensed attorney in Halifax County who accepts, undertakes or performs professional legal work within the contemplation of the laws of the State of North Carolina for compensation be forwith report ed to the proper authorities to be dealt with according to law." All the attorneys present at the meeting became members of the Association, and any other attorneys in the County indi cating their purpose of joining may do so by application to the Secretary, Mr. W. L. Knight, Weldon, N. C. "Twin Beds" Coming to The Peoples Theatre (By the Press Agent) Manager Paul Robinson of the Peoples Theatre has after consid erable wire pulling and energetic hustling, succeeded in securing the big Selwyn New York show "Twin Beds" famous the world over as "the funniest play in the English language." The company will come to Roa noke Rapids under a heavy guar antee, coming direct from recent engagements at the Garrick The tre Washington, Fords Opera House at Baltimore, the Colonial at Norfolk, and the Strand at Richmond. The company will come here intact with the same cast and production seen and used in these Tities, bringinging with them an entire carload of scenery and equipment carried especially for this attraction. They carry everything complete, even to the elaborate and beauti ful stage furniture, draperies etc. "Twin Beds" is counted by the dramatic critics as the one and only comedy classic on the American stage. It is said to contain more real hearty laughs, th8n any half dozen plays ever written, as it is one continuos riot of fun and wholesome laugh ter from the rise to th fall of the final curtian. Roanoke Rapids is to be con gratulated in securing a class of attraction of the caliber of "Twin Beds" and we hope the patron age will fully justify Paul Robin son, in securing more companies of thjs kind for Roanoke Rapids. The engagement will be for one night only Wednesday Feb ruary 16th, and seats can be re served in advance now at Taylor Matthews Drug Store. FRATERNAL NOTES 1.0.0. F. Carolina Lodge No. 225 I. 0. 0.

February 8, 1021. -North Carolina ranks sev enth of the cotton states, and Robeson County ranks first in this State. Of the 12,987,000 bales produced in the United States 839,940 or Gt5 per cent was produced in North Carolina. Robeson County produced (50,314 bales, or 7.3 per cent of the State's crop. Johnson ranks second (38,538) and Sampson third (33,341) according to the statistics just released by the Co- orative Crop Reporting Service. Halifax County produced 24,1)08 n.a j -ua inti, tu D, t baleS and ranksj 12th ln the Stat?. Scotland County produced the most pounds per acre (327) and Robeson next with 319 pounds of lint Sixty counties had more than 1,000 acres. With lint cot ton averaging about fourteen cents a pound (3i!c t year ago) the States crop is worth about $58,800,000. This compares with an almost equal production in 1919 worth $149,000,000, and a net depreciation of approximate ly $100,000,000 for lint and seed The cost of production for this crop was in excess of the pre vious 3t" cent crop, it having averaged near thirty two cents in cost tor 1920. The cotton acreage in North . i i i . a' was increased about one per Cent Over the 1919 Crop. The .,' 1,1 lt .1 yield for the lact three year: averaged 2f4 pounds at 14 cents I in 1920, 20(5 at 30 cents in 1919, i and 208 pounds per acre in 1918 j at 20 cents per pound. The average prices paid to southern farmers for real lint i cotton at the first of each of the past six months was: August 30. 8 cents; September 311; Oc tober 25.5; November 19 4: De cember 14.0; January 11.5; and February 12 cents. This indi cates the greatest decline in ar.y crop perhaps ever known. Ihe boll weevil has thus far resulted in no appreciable dam age to the cotton crop in the southeastern counties. The known advance of the infested area has been a much narrower belt than usual. $2.00 a Year in Advance ROANOKE RAPIDS PERSONAL AND LOCAL ITEMS Mr. J. W.
