MORTON OF BELGRADE CONTEMPLATES IS ERECTION I-jBefie ving that' the farmers of that section shouldiyhold their' cotton for higher prices or,, it least until the scare brought by the,, European war has subsided, E. Hy'Morton who lives near Maysville,' and who is one of th most progressive farmers and citizens of that section, is com te rn plating the erection, of a large bniK warehouse . which will be used as a s. rage ware house for cottorv and ,als . any other farm product that is fouu i aavisable to hold. Mr. Morton was in New Bern yesterday and while here he talked in terestingly of his proposed step. He claims, tha; the, cP. this -year will be targed and better quality than ' before fa. many years and that the growers should receive a better price a for it than they have heretofore been getting. However, he believes, and present indications point that way, that the price will lower and that the demand will .be less than it was last year. Mr. Morton reasons that this state of affairs cannot continue for any great length,,? time and that when conditions have cleared up and the war has come to a dose.' that the Euro Dean I countries wilrjleahd large quantities of cotton formanufacturing purposes and that if the present crop is held over instead of being placed on the market just at this time that the farmers can secure a much better price. Mr. Mor ton has taken into consideration that many of the growers will have to have some money tojt'ie them over for a few months, and heiieves that the cotton placed in his attouse can easily be used as collateral for loans of a reas onable amount and that these can be repaid when thd staple is finally dis posed of. He 'hai . discussed the pro position with Winy growers in that sec tion and theyhaye readily fallen in with his views, 'iu' fact they have so heartily agreed that he has practically definitely decided to erect the ware house and hopes too' have it in readi ness for use at an early date.

FROM French, Italian and German Fron tiers Open. LONDON, Aug. 27. The Standard's correspondent sends the-following from Geneva 'Moralise and Italy, and to a certain extentv Germany, have opened their frontiers "to allow food to pass into" Switzerland, because there are half a million French, Italians and Ger mans in this country. A considerable percentage of them are women and children. "The cost of living in Switzerland has not mounted more than 20 per cent, so far. Strict measures have been' taken against food speculators. "Letters to Paris take thirty to thirty-six hours, and I am informed that they are held up there three days by the censors.

Once again the merrymaking "Mutt and Jeff" will be with us. The sseason ol laughter is about to begin. "Mutt and Jeff in Mexico" in a brand new dress come to the Masonic Theatre on Sept. 2 with a bigger and a better show than has ever appeared before under the well known title. Giving "Mutt and Jeff" a new and superior production each successive year is an act of diplomacy on the part of Gus Hill. Bud Fisher's eccentric charac ters can live for a century or they can die as dead as a "door nail" in sixty days, if allowed to do so, but it is de cidedly to the interest of both Bud Fisher and Gus Hill to see them live for years innumerable, which they will do as long as Fisher is able to furnish "new dope" and up-to-the-minute,' comedy situations and as long as Guar'" Hill furnishes a new and acceptable vehicle for their stage work. Both of these gentlemen seem to be successfully keeping up their pace at the present writing. "Mutt and Jeff in Mexico" will represent the "last work" in musi cal comedy production, everything being new but the name. The Ameri can public never wanted to laugh morse than they do at this time. They seek comedy even in motion pictures. Gust Hill's mission since his entre into the theatiical producing game, has been ta make the people laugh. He is the ac knowledged dean of cartoon comedy production, never having offered a play of this sort that did not prove a suc- cess. It is, therefore, distinctly evi dent that the enormous success of "Mutt and Jeff in Mexico" is due to proper handling, by catering to the wishes and "desires of the theatregoing public. This season's show consists of a sixty foot car load of scenery, properties and costumes. A cast of fifty capable artists and the inevitable chorus of pretty girls without which the "Phuis Phest" would be incomplete.
