Cotton Grow ers Cooperative Association will re ceive final payment this week of ap proximately $200,000 on their 1951 Checks for this amount nave neen mailed to farmers who sold their 1951 cotton through the association, according to M. G. Mann, general man. ager of the marketing organization. The sum represents final settlement on last year's crop, Mann said, and is over and above full market price which association members actually received for itheir cotton at the time they ordered it sold. Mann attributed .the extra cash payment to a general improvement in the textile industry during recent months. , .

Basketball annually out draws football, according to the at tendance figures, and has done so for many years. However, many high schools which produce basketball teams do not . have the enrollment with which to organize a football team composed' of twenty or twenty-five boys. In the larger high schools across the country, foot ball is the iNo. 1 sport The same situation applies in , col leges, where college football is the top sports attraction of each college year. For some reason, college foot ball stands out as the top football competition of the year, while Major League baseball stands out as the top baseball competition. Perhaps it is because professional football leagues have not replaced college football as the No. 1 gridiron attraction in the minds of most football fans. In almost every large high school this fall, the average American boy will be out to make the team, if he has the necessary prerequisites, or most of them. IPretty young things will become colorful cheer-leaders and even adults will work themselves up into a stew at these high school con tests. ...... , . College games will be national events and will make millions of dol lars for various institutions of learn ing. Various reasons have been ad vanced in an attempt to explain the, popularity of football, ment now." Continuing, he declared: "We are happy at this time of the year when cotton farmers are sorely in deed of funds that we can send back to our members approximately $200,000 rep resenting an additional 63 points, or $3.15 on a 500-pound bale, as final settlement. Mann said at times during the past 12 months it was virtually impossible to sell cotton to mills because of un settled conditions in the textile in dustry. However, he went on, the situation has brightened considerably, and an active demand once more exists for cotton, During the 1951 season, the grow ers' association handled cotton val ued at more than 13 and a half mil lion dollars. Since it was founded in 1922, the association has handled 2, 435,127 bales, valued at $227,770,356. 29, Mann said. -''. Fishing School No kidding, here's a school you go to just to fish!

United States Earthquakes Most of us in the United States look upon earthquakes as disasters which , usually occur in other areas of the world, although earthquakes have oc curred rather frequently since Ameri- ca was first settled. Because there has been no major earthquake disas ter in recent years, we in the United " States are tending to forget that, if the history of earthquakes in the past offers any indication, we are probably going to have earthquake disasters in the future, possibly in the near fu ture. It can be said that, compared with the record of the Nineteenth Century, the Twentieth Century has produced less than its share of earthquake di sasters. In 1811, there was a major earthquake which was felt from New York to New Orleans and from Sa vannah, Ga., to St. Louis, Mo. On the night of August 31st, 1886, the most disastrous earthquake known east of the Mississippi River occurred and wrecked most of the buildings in the city, of Charleston, iS. C. , That earthquake claimed the lives of fifty-seven persons and its destruc tion claimed three-tfourths of all the buildings in the city of ICharleston. Money damage amounted to many mil lions of dollars and the shock was felt as far north as Toronto, Canada, and as lar south as Jacksonville, Florida. To the (West, that earthquake was felt in Dubuque, Iowa and as far east as Mew Haven, vonn. There were many other notable earthquakes! in the Nineteenth Cen tury, much having been written about several of them. The first earthquake on record in the United States oc curred in New England, on June 1, 1638 about eighteen years after the landing of the Pilgrims. iFifty-two years of this century have already gone by, and as yet, our cities are coming off lightly as far as the earth quake toll is concerned. Those who have experienced major earthquakes today would claim more lives than earthquakes in the past cen tury. This is trucf because the country is more densely inhabited and because there are more large cities today which are prime targets' of earth quakes. ' Thos who have experienced major earthquakes say that no other earthly disaster Approaches ft in ter ror, and we can only hope that the in- Classified and Legals WANTED FULL TIME REPRE- sentative to sell Life, Health, Acci dent and Hospitalization Insurance in Edenton and vicinity.
