Cotton Growers Cooperative Association were told Tuesday that cotton prices may climb to the highest levels since the Civil War, possi bly to 50 cents, before the 1&.'>1 crop is made. The report came from Ge.ueral Manager Mann ot thoj Cue- ton Association. The short 1950 crop plus a smaller than usual carryover and a quickened demand from indus try have caused prices to react sharply. Today, Mann said, sp'k cotton is selling at more than 40 cents a pound, the highest price in 30 years. Coach Haywood Faircloth’s Hoke County /High school Bucks dropped thear second football game of the 1950 season in Ham let Fridhy ni|ht where they lost to Hamlet High, 19-0. The Bucks have not scored yet this season. Hamlet is a Class AA conference team while the Hoke team is in Class A. The Hamlet boys scored twi.?e in the first quarter and once m the last, scoring all three times on long passes. The- Hoke line offered stiff resistance throughout the game, but the pass defense was the weak spot. The Hoke team also looked better on the ground in several instances than they had the week before against Hope Mills. Fi^ad Holland did not dress for the game as he is still recuperat ing from a motorcycle O'ccldent. He is expected to play Friday night, however, taking the place of John McLauchlin at fullbac'c. McLauchlin suffered injuries in the Hamlet game,which will keep him out of action for several weeks. Fred Jackson, sophomore, looked good against Hamlet and will probably be a starter in the game here Friday night against Stedman. Joe Gulbreth will also see some action at fullback. The Hoke team will play its second home game of the season under the lights at Armory park here Friday night when th(‘y meet the team from Stedman High school, reported to be an other tough one. Prices, accord ing to Coach Faircloth will ro- ■main the sam^' ;#e says thaf'^.d'-' mission prices here are the cheap est in the section and that they are necessary in order to have the garAes. For tomorrow night’s game, for example, expenses will run $90. This includes $30 for of ficials, $35 guarantee to Stedman and $25 for lights and use of the park. 0 3 Farm Divisions At N.C.

The event is a yearly affair and Archie Byrne, president of the club, said that one-third of the proceeds of the sale i. would be retained by the local club for its work for the blind, the remainder going to the state association to aid the blind in those areas where there is no organized work on be half of the blind. During this week more than ' 250 Lions clubs in North Carolina are conducting this drive by the sale of White Cane buttons for a dime and by selling memberships 11 in the state association for a dollar or more. Reason for using the White Cane as a symbol is to familiarize the public with the fact that a person carrying a white cane with a red tip is blind. Lions will sell the buttons to- ' day for 10 cents and up, accord ing to Haywood Faircloth, Lions club chairman of the drive. Pre vious campaigns have steadily in creased the work for the blind in the state and last year the asso ciation gave aid to 2003 blind per sons in all sections of the stat=.

Newton, command ing officer of the local National Guard unit, said this week that authority had been granted by the Adjutant General of North Caro lina to raise the strength of the battery from 105 enlisted men to 115. The unit attained its authorized strength of 105 some time ago and there has been a waiting list usually of men who got in when others moved or got in the active service of were lost for other reasons. Lt. Newton said that the increase had been requested m order to take care of men who wanted to join the unit since the draft policy of not calling meij who are members had been an nounced. He said the new vacancies in the battery would be filled on a first-come first served basis, and that Sgt. Roger Dixon, unit ad ministrator, was on duty at the local armory five days a week and that drills are each Monday niglt. all re-elected were: Paul D. Gradv Kenly, vice president; G. D. Arndt, Raleigh, treasurer and assistant secretary; and R. H. Broome and Walter Ramseur, both of Raleigh, assistant secretaries. Mann was renamed secretary and general manager. In discussing the possibility of Federal price controls being clamped on cotton, Mann said: “We will resist every effort to put price ceilings on the crop. Such a step would be totally unfair to farmers. In North Carolina, for instance, the government esti mates we will not produce more than 200,000 bales this year. Even with the higher prices which have come about simply through the law of supply and demand, our farmers will not receive as much money from their 1950 crap os they got last year.” The general manager reported to the directors that the cotton as sociation handled slightly m.o.-e than 10 per cent of the State's 1949 crop. He also said that due to the advancing markets, farm ers had sold all but 358 bales of the 1949 crop placed through the association. 0 SQUARE DANCES START HERE FRIDAY NIGHT School Properties To Be Sold Next Week At Auction The Hoke county board of ed ucation will sell seven of its pro perties in the county at auction for cash next week, according to an advertisement appearing in this week’s paper.

He said there would be one difference from last year in that the dances would be old fashioned square dances with no jitterbugging during the sets.

The first meeting of the Rock fish Parent-teacher associatioi was held at the school on Wednes day night of last week with the president, Mrs. Vernon Parson, presiding.
