IMPORTANT NOTICE TO |
OWNERS OF PROPERTY
The application blanks sent you
some weeks ago must be signed and
returned promptly. Remember this will
relieve the towp for another year of
the State Sanitary laws. It does not
mean that you will have to put in sew
er and water immediateyl, but simply
puts it off for your convenience. Un
less the application is signed and re
turned to M. S. Moore, Superintendent
promptly, you will be placed under
the state sanitary laws which will be
considerable expense. Remember this
is a matter of much importance.
Two or three years ago the state
legislature passed a law requiring
every person to build upon his lot in
connection with each house what is
known as a sanitary privy. Due to
the fact that this town was putting
in a water plant the law was nut al
lowed to operate for it was contem
plated that we would soon have run
ning water and not need the sanitary
privies. It took much longer than
was at first thought necessary to put
in the water plant and the state au
thorities have time and again extend
ed the time for the town of WiUiam
ston. They realize that it will take
time for the town to connect with the
water lines. They have agreed that
if these applications for connections
are filed within a certain time they
will extend the time another year for
WiUiamston. If thia is not done the
town of under iltc
state sanitury laws and each property
will have to have running water at
once or build a sanitary privy. It
will be impossible for each property
owner to get running water put ir.
at once and the privies as required
by the state laws would incur a big
cost to the property owners. Sign
your application and send it in at
once to M. S. Moore, Supt.

COTTON TO CLIMB; IST
BALE BRINGS $1,300
.New Orleans, May 21).—Hullish crop
.K'eounts put the price of cotton to
hiirfiei levels this week, following de
, lines- in the early sessions, which de
liiu .. si'enie.l to have their main foun
a.it phi ui i!k' unsettled look of Euro
pean polities, owing to the clash over
Silesia. Later in the week politics
i-effspi! to lie a factor, and from de
i lines- heiu,re the close of the preced
.lu* week nf 25 to a" points, the mar
la I iiim> to advances above of 33 to
.'(I points. July traded down to
I LIS, and then up to 12.70, finally
11" nip at 12..K1. In the net results
contract ■ v.uined 25 to ,'!7 points. Spots
. aiue.l l ! points on middling which
i lo eil at 11.S8 against 40 cents a year
uro.
Much of the buying of the week' '
was ilnhi • on the highly unfavorable
crop reports put out by private bu
■a i . Soon after the middle of the
week buying Hurries were caused by
a i.• |»iiit of tia. l per cent as the condi
ii.'U of the crop, of 30.5 pur cent af
' he iii acreage and 7,600,000
bales a the indicated crop. A little
later another bureau put conditions
at ti;t. I, tho reduction ih aoreage at
1 per cent, and the indicated crop at
i,ii 111,0110 bales. This crop figure was
iii.4 reported at 7,400,000 bales, and
lha twas considered low enough to
■au -e determined buying. On the clos
i"n -isiini a |ii'wsna[ier in the central
belt made the condition 04 and placed
the reduction at from 20 to 30 per
per cent, while a local brokerage*
house estimated the condition at 00
and teh reduction in. eacreag* at. 29
per. cent..
Heavy liquidation of long contracts
vvas felt during the closing session,
■id it checked the rising tendency and
Auscd .-mall reactions from the ad-
Jfanc.'. r
Considerable excitement was caused
in the market by the appearance at
.".an llenito, Tex., on Thursday of the
lii I bale of the new crop. It was ship
I'e_il to Houston, "where on Friday it
brought $1,300.00., Ibis wus by far
the earliest cotton bale ever market
ed, being a month earlier than the first
bale last year. The previous record
lor the first bale was June 10, made
in 1910.
