HEAVY DAMAGE BY

By Art War D. Cara
I hare sought particularly to hear
what the largest cotton fairness in
Hoke county havs to tay about the
damage dona to their cottoa by the
boll weevil, and regret to report that
conditions have suddenly become
more- serious than had boeo antlcipa
tad by anybody earlier In the year/
Sixty days ago ykm | report**- to
you and other paper* the >rod*lies
made by one of the big cotton plant
ers of Ihi* county that H was hit fear
that at least 00 par cent of this year's
crop would be eut off by the boll weo
vll, it was a news Item for the critics
lo laugh over. Traveling men passing
through the county stopped In Rat
ford to offset the itiioumesa of that
ttory by informing friend* that they
nan stopped along the highways, got
ten out of their automobiles and care
fully examined several fields only to
fln<} conditions spparently normal and
the prospects for a fall crap almost
certain.
But that optimism is at low tide
now. although optimism among fann
ers is a-spentanroiu thing, bora aa It
is with hia bold heart through inti
mate acquaintance with all the boeu
tiful workings of nature and out ot
hia close kinship to God
I have Interview men ef axfirume
views, men who weigh consequences
whatever they may happen to be; and
the same note prevails high and
shrill above the silent, certain tread
of growth aad prosperity; It is to!
the effect that 18tt bas silently sol.
emnly dosed out ef history’s tutors
with the deep-hasd curtain of prov
