Tin' present drought has brought home In the responsible officials of tin l ■ iti• .- ami towns of North Carolina. 111 •' duty of providing adei ( uafi supplies of pure water for the use of all residents and the requirement of all industries. Few municipalities when installing water works look fai enough ahead to provide for the n?i tural increase "of population or I'.h an exceptionally dry reason. As a re suit the health and the business o l ' the town-I suffer; .Some of our middle North Carolina towns are within a few ii|ijes of some river large enough to cleanse ilsell of impurities. Such towns should take advantage of their opportunities to secure really adetjuate supplie-. Oth er*. however. must lie dependent upon smaller streams. Surh w;ttei siripli". can lie kept pure and regulat ■ I • that the flow is. almost con.-tUut by keeping m forest cover on the watei shed. Many of our mountain town iia\e already found out the pdvant.-ige of 11w11;ng their o\v,nwidershed so a 'ti ii.st.re ai.i abundant supply of pun v.a'er without the cost of fttierini* it or even iof pumping it, At Iras' ten of the most* important Western North Carolina towns now count th'° lan dincluding this watershed as the.i most valued and profitable pns^'shiott .Vshevile owns two adjacent water heil* c«fii prising acres, both o; them thoroughly forested and adei uat ly protected from fire. S sLeen iiiiic of pipe connects the intake with the city reservoir. Marion rfwes -ix "miles to a pure mountain stream, its" pipe line across the Catiwbn Kiver. It owns it wate»*died o, 1,000 acres of forest rami, around w Mih it has cons tructed a fire line. Following a recent fire in Marion, in which a largo whole sale store was burned out, the mayor upon investigation found the water overflowing the reservoir after every available hose had been qlnying on the fire fur nuiie than tow hours. This shows one of the advantages oi a good supply of water. Other towns which own their water' shed, and which maintain a good forest coverfvtheeon are: Canton I,' Hit acres; Waynesville USO- acres, Tryon 7W acres, Andrews 44u ai'res, Murpm 208 acres, Salura 139 acre/. In all these cases the intake is a t a hlghei elevation than the town sothat the water flows through the pipes by : wiavity system Winston Sal Gneenslipro both own cons areas oftland in connection with their Water work*, "though cbmprisin more than a snmll percentage of the tola I area of their watershed. Land is always ti 'safe investment, and when a municipality can secure a perfect water supply, nd at the same time grow a crop of timber, criticism would more justly lie against the bon rift* faldermen that .held back rather than the one that moveth for ward. THE ENTERPRISE Weekly Review of The Cotton Market Cotton has advanced ovei 1 cent per pound siuee last _ Friday , and , seems to lie fairly steady around the ■I 20 cent level. The trade is now guess ing what the Government's Condition | Figures will be on October ;ird. Most I of the estimates are between .'lB and 40 cents, while a few are as high a -42. We know that the yield will lie - small; that spinners' stocks arc low; | that cotton is not being marketed rapt ly» and if the official Condition lie port proves to be helnw 40 we may see | higher prices. American consumption last season, amounted to 4,.557,8!1.'l bales. Kx ports last season were, fi,724,. r iS4 hales. Making a total of, T0, 012,477 ! halosfl. If the 1921 crop proves to I"', ti.fiU»,ooo j hales and American consumption and ' exports e(|iial last season's figures, j it will be necessary for spinners to I buy at least 4,000,000 hales of old I cotton in order to fill their require ments. While it will probably be the p ilicy of the South to sell judiciously when 20 cents and above can he obtained, | we think they would stubbornly re sist any important de- line below ; hat IT, ore.

And as a lule pust as good" people manage the warehouses and buy tobacco on the warehouse floors as are found dealing in cotton, wheat, merchandise, farming 01 an> other line of business. Hut when com petition gets eljse and men an\i ous there is k't*ut temptation in (hi tobacoc business, so much in fact that al kinds of unfair things are said and done. False propaganda can be heard fil ing the rounds, for instance there lias recently lieen circulated the false re port that Hits Williumstou Tobacco Market was not represented liy buyers I ruin the principal tobacco companies. Dl course these statements are circu lated lor no other purpose than to scare the fanner who has tobacco foi all'. One other false method which is Ireifttf ntly used, is to advertise averages of*sftftta- a*nl>HM}Jy.„u ;e pi ices of the lew highest glades.V\V liei. warehouses and buyers resort to lalsehotid* and unfair methods to drum trade it will eventually weak en thei rown market.

Their at tention is called to th» efact that th« utst seasoa o fthe legislature passed a law requiring that all ginners make application/ for license to the Com missioner of Agriculture an d that uch "Sfinners collect for the next two >ear sa tax of twenty-five cents per bale on all cotton ginoer, remitting this tax monthly to the Department of Revenue. | Ihe law imposes u fine of five dol lars per day un all pinners who wper ale without securing State license. Therefore, it is directed that ginners who have not yet secured their license to operate write the Commissioner of Agriculture u farm of application for license, which should be filled out and forwarded immediately. As a matter of information 1 de sire to state tax referred to constitutes a fund which the integrity of the warehouse re ceipts issued under the State Ware house System, and that nine-tenth* oi this luiul will be loaned for the construction of warehouses, the in dividual loan not to exceed fifty per cent of the total warehouse cost.
