Going to a motorcycle race is more exciting than going to a funeral, for one never knows who is to be the corpse.

Hence we all realize now that the greatest problem before the South is to reform the market of cotton that it shall be supplied from week to week and month to month only in the amount and proportion that the market will consume it at a fa:r price.

I suggest that where there is a library in the county (Courthouse) town, that the County Commission ers make arrangements to place the books in the library for the conveni ence of the people. I do hope every newspaper in North Carolina will call attention to the foregoing matter. The clerk of each county who has not received the appendices can get the three vol umes by making application, or when the fourth and last volume is published they can get them all at one time. The clerks in the new counties are entitled to a full set as soon as they are prepared to take care of the books. Respectfully, Miles O.
