Gar den Terrace, is fast taking on the semblance o fa busy center, and with the present plans of the promoter carried out, there ij. no doubt but ibis delightful addition to Williainston will offer a continuous source of a nm.-ement to pleasure seekers, ami a valuable business addition to the sur rounding community.

REFLECTOR PUBLISHES MAD ATTACK ON US On the 2Nth inst., the (ireenville Re Hector made a mad attack on us for a news article published in the Enter prise of September 2.'ird, regarding a tobacco sale made by Mr. Louis Feel. I he Reflector evidently forgot the im portant things—reason and thought, in (ireparing their article. They made no less than three Hag rant errors in their statement, hirst, they said that we stated t in pile ol tobacco was sold ten times for ten djfjeront pi ices. This i- untrue. We stated that one pile of tobacco was odl ten times for nine different prices. Again they say that we attacked the Greenville market, this is entirely un true. We did not say one word I'm or against their market. We only suggested that the present method ol marketing tobacco is one of the -most fooliosh thittgA- that farmers can do The next charge is that our article was a "prevarication and a malicious attempt to deprive this section ((irecti villel ol what it has So justly won in the production ami sale of bright leaf." Every word of this statement is false. Lastly they dispute the en tire statement and say that this is false. To this we say to the Reflect or: "Go Slow," for we had had both sense and honor enough to prove out proposition before we printed it Yes. all we said is true and we can estah lisli It at any time. The Kellccjtoi in fairness should also print this state merit. Sti.s RET FUN FOR EYEIO DOLLAR l\\ EST!•:I► IN IT ItERCI LOSIS WORK The charge of profiteering might well be made against the liurcau 01 Tuberculosis of the Slate Hoard ol' I leal 111 and the North Carolina T,: lieiculosis Association admits Dr. I. 11. Mcltrayer, Director of tile Bureau and Managing Director of the Asso ciation. This admission is made in view of the number of 11ve-j saved and cases of tuberculosis prevent" I since I'.Mfi, when active mca-tires I'm the control of tuberculosis were begun. Since that time live have lie n avd HI Noril. *'i c'ina. These lig ores are based on I lie supposition that the .same death rate would have oh IHi tied in 192(1 as in Iftlli if no preeaii liouarv measures had been taken but .there is'small doubt hut that the rate Would have increased considerable. Il has been derftotistrated that an active ease of tuberculosis who is careless will infect at least eight other pet sons and it is therefore stated that at least 17,(MM) infections have been pre vented. This represents" 'a ' saving in money to North Carolina of over slix, 000.000. The funds thai it has taken to ae complis lit his are derived from State appropriation and from the sale of Tuberculosis Christina* seals ami the approximate amount so expended dur ing the (i year period has been s},ooo 000, This amount includes not only nil State appropriations for tubercu losis work but till funds expended by patients taking treatment nt the State Sanatorium and all funds raised throughout the state by the sale of Christmas seals. It would therefore seem that every dollar invested in tuberculosis work brings an enormous return and Dr. Mcßrayer further asserts that with an expenditure of two dollars pei capita per year for one decade, te bereulosis can be practically elimi nated. Is this saving of human life worth [while? We think so. If considered from a financial tsandpoint only it means that an average of two and one half years will he added to the life of every resident of the state.

Thi* chart is based on crops in terma of 500-pound bales, exclusive of liaters. The crop this year, according to tfle forecast of July 25, will be 8,20.1,000 bales This may be compared »ith liut year's production of 13,360,754 bales and the maximum crop produced in 1914 which totaled 16,134,930 bales. "It is necessary to go back to lS'Ji to find and American cetton crop as small as that predicted for theyeur," ays this Bulletin of the Manufactur ers, but it points out that since that time a great change has taken plaoe. "In 1H96 the American cotton munu f'uctuiing industry was les.s than half as large as it is at present, .laving i-nly about 16,000,000 spindles, com pared with U5,000,000 at present, ami the world's cotton manufacturing in i'us try embraced only 90,000,000, com pared with over 150,000,000 spindle now." We print above a narticle on the cotton situation and while many pen pie seem to he surprised that cotton has ever gone as high as 20c yet based upon all thecircum stances Surround ing us we need not he surprised to see cotton go to .'i()c before ninety days. The South is entitled to the value of the crop and if the Southern farmer sells too soon in the old fash ioned dumping method, then the spec ulator Will get the benefit of the .short crop.
