Acting upon the suggestion of a nriM
item in a recent, issue of the Journ I,
Dr. J. A. Uuguid, of Vancehoro, l.as
brought a bale of cotton t" store ut'rl i
prices get higher. The suggestion was
that everv body who was able, buy a
bale and keep it fur the purpose of
raising 'he price. There are at leant
three thousand, probably more peop'e
in Craven county that can upare enou:;h
money to buy a tale of cotton. OlIi T
counties can do their part, al! over I lie
