Orepa or* 1Well?Other lliei of htemt Utor The Herald:?Your valuafele paper la a moat welcome visitor dp Mr home every week and as I of- j Pep drop a line to our locel papers, I thought probably you might like o Hear from this section of the old March State. Our home is located in the upper corner of Robeson, 3 miles from the Dillon county line, about' the same distance from the Marlboro, county line, arid 1 1-2 miles from' Scotland county. North Carolina, ly-; lag between Shoe Heel Creek on the j east and Leith's Creek on the west,' Che latter flowing into the Little [ Pbc Bee three miles below our home, i ear the South Carolina line. We are almost equal distant from J the town of Maxton and Laurinburg,1 H. C., and Clio, S. C., and think that j ? section is one of the best ever. It was originally settled by premier j Scotch Presbyterians, many of whose - descendants still own their ancestral! 'homes, tilling the same soil, which! Was clearead and cultivated by their forefathers a century and a half ago. Heated upon our front piazxa, my visloo rests open our old family homeOtead where five generations in sue ewiia were sheltered beneath one i and the same roof tree. A tew years ago the dwelling house was torn dtrwa ta give the site to a new and j?ore modern structure. The old house had stood the storms of a century and when it was demolished, most of the timbers and material were ia perfect condition, the product of the virgin prime forests. Every inch of lumber had been handnsnn. and every nail made in the blacksmith shop. Viewing these curiosities, I could but marvel at the Indomitable energy and grim resolution thus displayed by our sturdy anoentors. Onr farming people are very busy these hot days and the present crop prospects are very encouraging. We are getting rather dry for the past few days, and would like to have a shower of rain for the benefit of gardens, corn, potatoes, etc., though the cotton is not in need, is in good con'dltion, and doing finely. Corn, small grain and food stuffs are receiving specific attention, with the outlook very encouraging at this writing, and if the crops of grain be harvested without misfortune, there will be made around here a quantity of wheat, oats, and rye. We have some Shots of good tobacco iand in this nectioa and some of our neighbors have small areas devoted to the growth of the mighty weed this searci IAgr Location and ?c viroment The College is located in Oc< County at the foot of the Blue It Mountains, on the homestead ;;?nhn C.

He volunteered in January last for the aviation service, had completed the training, was a natural and fine machanic, with promise of singular usefulness to his country wh?n the bright young life was instantaneously snuffed out, and the splendid young body, in the vigor of health and strength was mangled beneath the wheels of the murderous car. The remains were brought home to the stricken parents, brothers and sisters by two of his comrades and neighbors, Messrs. Will and Hugh onwaru, auu iuiu (u rest in me cemetery of Calidonia churcli, of which he was a member. This is the first fatality among our boys of this vicinity, but if this awful war continues we know that others must follow. His company at Norfolk forwarded a magnificent floral offering so designed as to represent his special branch of the service. And now lest I trespass too much upon your valuable space and probably weary yourself and readers, it is policy for me to close for the present. I am a frequent visitor in your county at the home of my son-in law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. McLaurin of near Floydale, also I have a goodly number of relatives in the thriving town of Dillon, and in "The Fork" further down the line, together with kind friends whom I have met throughout the passing years, and who I hope may in some measure enjoy reading a word from. "AUNT BECKY," Maxton, N. C., June 3rd A MAD KAISER. I | Hemarkahle Prophecy Made by Late J. P. Caldwell. Here Is a prophecy of this war, copied from an editorial by the late Mr. J. P. Caldwell of the Charlotte Observer, written about 15 years ago near the time of the death of Bis, marck. "The Passing of the Old Pharoahs". "The strenuous denials by his physicians that Bismarck is not nearing jhis end are merely confirmatory evidence that he is. An official denial of J this sort is always suspicious.

Following Gladstone, Bismarck will goon be gathered to his fathers. Then the good old queen of England, whitehaired Franz Joseph of Austria and the old Pope. "After these there will arise new kings, which knew not Joseph. New national policies will prevail, and the face of the earth will be changed until the maps in the geographies of the schoo. children will, a genera tion hence, be curiosities. Who knows?"?Exhange. o? Investigation of Cotton Futures. The secretary of agriculture, through the cotton futures section of the bureau of markets, will make a special investigation of cotton futures quotations. For some weeks ; past there has been an disparity be-j tween the prices of middling cotton, as quoted in spot markets and middling cotton as quoted by the New i York and New Orleans future ex-1 changes. This situation, it is pointed j ' out, impairs the usefulness of the future exchanges to manufacturers and dealers in hedging transactions in spot cotton and tends to render the market unsteady and uncertain. This question has had the attention of the department of agriculture for ' some time and is also a matter of concern to those engaged in the cotton industry. The department states that the investigation of the situa-. ion will be complete and thorough 1 with a view to determine causes of the disparity and steps necessary for its remedy. The department also has taken i up with the war industries board, | i the question of the utilization of cotton of the lower grades, of which a large surplus is accumulating. Low grade cotton is pulling up because the ordinary outlets for it are closed by the war and the fact that cotton of higher grades is being used in the manufacture of good, particularly on government contracts, when cotton j of the lower grades might be used ' satisfactorily instead.
