STILL MORE FARMS! We have perhaps sold twice as many farms this year as ever before, but we have on hand at this time More Farms Than Ever We have recently listed a number of most desirable farms in Johnston County that have never been on the market before, and we have established a branch office for Sampson County at CLINTON, N. C. We have for sale in Sampson County fifteen or twenty farms ranging in size from 20 acres up. The soil on these farms is as good as can be found anywhere. The land is not hilly nor rocky and it produces abundant crops, and produces them from ten days to two weeks earlier than Johnston County. And this land is about $50.00 per acre cheaper than land in Johnston. We would like to have you consult us about a trip to look some of these places over. ABELL & GRAY SMITHFIELD, N. C. IF YOU WANT TO BUY OR SELL, SEE US SUGAR SCARCITY NOT RELIEVED Famine in Saccharine Supply Likely To Stay With Fa Awhile. Washington, D. Oct. 7.- All in dications here are that there is no prospect of immediate change in the situation as to the sugar famine throughout the country, lhe sugai equalization board today replied to the telegram of inquiry sent yesterday by Senator Simmons but its reply is not fully informative so far as relief is concerned. The board says sugar is npt being exported except under con tracts previously made and these ex ports since July 1st have been com paratively small. The North Carolina Senator in terested himself in the situation be cause from all sections of North ( ar olina there have come protests that “sugar rations” are short and the populace is not pleased over the out dook. The complaints received by Senator Simmons are typical of those reaching the offices of other members of Congress, and it is likely that the sugar equalization board is swamped with telegrams from Washington and all sectioas of the country. Senator Harris, of Georgia* for in stance, telegraphed the board in New York and received reply that every thing possible was being done to re lieve the shortage and there had been absolute equity in distribution. How ever, the board indicated that it could distribute no more sugar than there exists and it is a question of doling out the supply until the supply catch es up with the demand. The telegram received by Senator Simmons from the equalization board today reads: “Telegram received. During early part of year refiners entered into some contracts for export of refined sugar for shipment during last half year. These contracts having been entered into in good faith are being complied with, but no sugar has been sold for export by refiners since our request to them of July 1st, to suspend all such business. These shipments since the first of July are comparatively small. We are advised that Canadian situa tion regarding sugar supplies is seri ous, and that embargo was placed by that government on exports except such sales as had been entered into before date of embargo.” The point that Senator Simmons wished to settle was whether or not the American refiners were being per mitted to export sugar to foreign countries not having- the retail price restrictions which are now in force in the United States.—R. E. Powell, in News and Observer. The Teachers and Transportation. St. Paul's school has a teacherage this puts that enterprising community in the van. Every school of that grade in the county should follow St. Paul’s example, especially should Maxton. Eaurinburg has had diffi culty in getting boarding places foT its teachers. The Scottish Chief trusts that soon the school districts may be condensed and transportation be provided for the children who live at a distance from the school. This doubtless will follow the good roads we are preparing to have in Robeson county. Enough will l>e saved in the school houses and salaries to make our public schools of higher class and convey the distant children to the building. The county superintendent finds it difficult now to get the build ings required erected on account of scarcity of of labor. Schools have to be built for white, negro and Iidian children and the small districts we now have makes education very ex pensive.—The Maxton Scottish Chief “So you’re still carrying a mort gage on your house, are you?” “Yes, ami strange to say I’m carrying it becau o I ca* not lift it.”—Cleveland Press. ford Shares at $24,000. By the purchase of 2,000 shares owned by Mayor Gouzins, of Detroit, Henry and Edsel Ford are now re ported to be sole owners of the Ford Motor Company. The Ford motor stock has been more profitable than original Standard Oil, or than other securities ever issued. Shares of par value of $100 are said to have been bought up by the Fords at as high a price as $24,000. Father and son now have several hundred million dollars invested in the company and are keep ing the tractor stock also well within the family.—Cappers Weekly. Must Be A .Millionaire. The Raleigh News and Observer says: “The Sampson county man who sold a ham the other day for fifty dollars is not worrying about the price of things to eat. But think of the other fellow.’’ The fellow who has the fifty to pay for one ham should worry. He must be a million aire.—Wilmington Star. According to the latest available figures, the religions of the world are divided as follows: Christians, 564. 510,000; Confucianists and Taoists, 300,830,000; Mohammedans, 221,825, 000; Hindus, 210,540,000; Animists, 158,270,000; Buddhists, 138,031,000; Shintoists, 25,000,000; Jews, 12,205, 000; unclassified, lp,280,000. tun I-++4-+++ +4-H 4*4-4* Farm in Ben tons ville Township For Sale!
