Transportation Coninils mission Files Charge Against Aberdeen & Rockflsh Railroad. 4By the Associated Press.* linleigh, N. C., October s.—At tbs request of the State Skip and Water Transportation Commission the North Carolina Corporation Commission today filer! a complaint with the Interstate Com merce Commission against the Aberdeen cling Service. “The cotton crop it Nortli Carolina is unusually good, considering the various igeneies that have worked towards its letrimont, including the boil weevil, cot on caterpillar and the weather,” reads he report. “Nature Seems to have been jlensed, particularly pleased with North 'arolina inasmuch as she lias given us he earliest July crop in history, thereby jetting ahead of the boll .weevil. Even bough the weevil did hit the erop heriv l.v after the first of August, several see ions, even Robeson Comity, had quite a sprinkling of boils to set and develop af er that time. Naturally, with a rather leav.v growth of foliage due to heavy Vrtilization and a very slight, or entire-* l.v lacking evidence of bollx on the upper half of the plant, the average fanner un lerestimated his prospective yield. "In September, the cotton caterpillar did terrific damage by stripping foliage, incidentally revealing that the number of setting boils on the lower pari of the plant was greater than realized. The killing of the leaves will result in ear lier maturity aud opening of the bolls, is well as easier and cleaner picking of the crop. These conditions warrant the 1 statement that North Carolina was par- j tieularly blessed in a cotton crop under the boll weevil conditions tlmf existed. “Our entomologists explain that the cotton caterpillar is not an. army worm, although its habits would indicate it so. In fact, tiie moth of this pest winters in Mexico. Consequently, it takes all tiie summer for them to reach us after their appearance in Texas iu the early spring. "Concerning the condition of the crop, it is found that the best area is in tit* northern part of the belt, with a favora- j ble peninsular projecting down even to ] Scotland and part of Robeson County j through Hoke and Harnett ami up to ! Durham County. As is generally known, j the worsty conditions prevail iu tiie coastal counties. The fifty to sixty per j cent, condition belt extends from lower Robeson northeastward to Albetna.le ' Sound, passing through Bladen, Samp son. Duplin, Lenoir. Putt, Martin. Bertie Counties.

ASK AMNESTY FOR MOB MEMBERS AT SPRUCE PINE Overtures Suggest Proposition to Put lip With Negroes If No Prosecutions Re sult. Ben Dixon MacNeilt in News and Ob server. Spruce Pine, Oct 4.—l’lea for amnesty for the members of tiie mob who deport ed /more than sue hundred negroes from tliis county last Thursday carrying with It the obligation to refrain front further molestation of negro labor here and tiie arrival of organizers of tiie Ku Klux Klan in the village lifted the seige out of its lethargy here today. Iu so far as the civil authorities were concerned overtures made by representa tives of tiie mob to the authorities here suggest that in return for assurances from Governor Morrison that no prose cutions will result from the disorders here last week, tiie participants iu tiie deportation will sign an agreement to abstain from disorders hereafter, and allow negroes to come and go as they will. The proposal has not been for mally made. No actual negotiations hqve been piade. Representatives of the rioters who ap proached within the official circle were ‘old that before the matter couldt be dis missed, and without making any prom ises for Governor Morrison that they .tthvw -some evidence of-gooiLJuith,. trefierably their names, duly attested on • document that would bind them to keep file peace. tlii« much must be in hand before anybody will agVee to intercede with tiie Governor. Deputies have been all day on the trail of a mysterious individual who is here as a representative of the Ku Klux ivlan. Heretofore there has not been a Kluckcr so far as anybody knows on tliis side of tiie Blue Ridge mountains. | Whether there are any here now nobody j knows exactly but, cards of application for membership have been seen in the town and it is understood that a number of people have contributed their ten dol lars. Negroes. Catholics, and Jews are the bait that is being used by the organizer, it is commonly reported about the streets. Mitchell county has little use for either •ind such an appeal finds fruitful ground here. The religious prejudices of the majority of the people are partieuarly stroiig anil have been made use of in more than one political campaign. Halt Oklahoma Court Battle Until Tuesday.
