The farmer, the mill man, the dry goods folks, and all the people who buy cotton prod ucts are entitled to all the infor mation they can get regarding the crop. It profits no one to be kept in the dark regarding the crop, or to have wrong fig ures. Ignorance or misinforma tion is never valuable. The crop report is the most complete and the most dependable that can ))c procured, and it is not fair to any one to try to lessen the con fidence of the people in its fig ures.

This year the Carolina at Pinehurst has set October 22nd for the opening date. This is the earliest opening since Pine hurst has become a factor in the winter entertainment of North ern visitors. It marks an im portant advance in the industrial history of this community, for it is the expansion of the sea son, which is a presumable ad vance in the length of the busi ness period of the year in the Sandhills. Every previous extension of the length of the season at Pine hurst has been a successful step. It appear? that as fast as people find out that the hotels and cottages are ready for them in the Sandhills they begin to move this way at an earlier day and in greater numbers. The Carolina has been the pioneer in this extension of the season from year to year, and with its pioneering everything else has followed until at the present the length of the fall and winter season in Central North Carolina is longer than at practically any other winter resort. It is long enough so that the industry of caring for those from the North is taking on more of a perma nent basis than simply that of a seasonal occupation. This gives the Sandhills resorts an unusual advantage. Where any com munity has to carry on its work in the short season of a few weeks, as is the case with many of the resorts in the North, too much time is lov^t betv/een sea sons. But here where the sea son is steadily extending until so much of the year is covered that summer permits only enough idle time to overhaul and get ready for the ensuing fall, little time is lost. The Carolina is the leader in this movement, and as it is the big hotel of the community it opens prosperty for whole region over a longer period, and is not only beneficial to itself, but to the entire central portion of the State, for with the open ing at Pinehurst business starts in all the adjacent territory. The opening of the Carolina means the opening of the entire indus try of the Sandhills, the golf courses, the amusements, the employment of people, and the prosperity that all these bring. It is well enough to know what the Carolina does and to appreci ate it.
