Yesterday. following the government report showing a cotton crop of less than eleven million bales and the smallest cotton crop since 1!MH), the cotton market made a sensational advance, which took it up to hevond the twelve cent level. There is now no reason, while a pri-c- of tweTte cents or more prevails. wh v the farmer who needs the money should no! sell cotton. At the same time this newspaper is anxious that the farmers who do sell shall get the best possible in ices in their territory. And Irom all the information which we can gather the fanners who arc bringing their cotton to Kli.a beth City gins have been losing from two to seven dollars and a half on every bale. This is not a geneial state ment which We are offering without figures to back it . This newspaper has made impiiry this morning from everv "on gin in this section. Not., only is there lack of uniformity in these prices but it is the Eliza beth City gins which seem to have set the lowest level. This morning at eleven o'clock the juices ipioted by the various gins were ;.s loliows: OaSERVf STATt MISSION DAY ltlackweli Memorial Sunday school observed State Mission A'uy at the Sunday morning service with an interesting pro giain. .Norman Trueblood gave a recitation on State Mis sions am) tl Kiimi.iv s:..i i.
