The fourth report on cotton gin-

been made public by the govern-
authorities In Washington City.
Figures showing the comparison be-

county totals were furnished to local
agents over the state, and these were

county shown a shortage over last
year's crop of bales, while the
difference in other counties of the
state is very much greater than this.
Pitt county had ginned for the same
period last year bales as against

Beaufort county, which was so de-

ginned less than half the
amount this season that was ginned
last year. For the period in 1912 a
total of were reported as
having been ginned, while for the

reported. This shows a shortage of
bales, and Edgecombe
show shortages almost as large,
the same Is true of Craven, Martin
Lenoir, Wilson and other neighbor-
counties.
What Is true with to these
counties in the eastern portion of
North Carolina, it is to noticed
that many of the counties of the
west show considerable gain over last
year's crops. Mecklenburg gives a
total of than increase
while Catawba almost doubles this

For the entire state taken as n
whole, however, there Is a shortage
of bales. Last season the
state had ginned to the present time
bales, as against this
year. For the southern states this
year's crop Is only a little more than
bales short, and It Is yet too

Congress has taken this step to
serve to us and to future generations,
our insectivorous birds, because it has
been conclusively proven that with-
out keeping down of pestiferous bug
and Insect life by the birds, this world
would soon become uninhabitable;
and because the rapid decrease of our
migratory game birds makes It evident
that uniform seasons, in which they
may be killed, having regard for zones
of temperature, breeding habits and
migration, are necessary to prevent
their total extinction.
It behooves us to further
our own interests and comfort by sup-
porting tills wise measure and by en-
our neighbors to follow our
example.

Repeated Violations of

Principal among the
of grand jury in reporting

was that ordering improvements made
at the county home. The grand jury
in company with a committee from
the hoard of county
visited the In a and in
the entire plant. It will be
noticed that recommendations are
made that additional water facilities
he provided, and that either RUM
pumps be put down, or a modern
tern of water works be installed.
The county home matter is one that
has been agitated in since
early last summer when the King's
Daughters started something in that
direction. The matter was taken up
by the people in all sections of the
county and for several weeks that
was the all-absorbing topic of dis-
heard on the streets. It flu
ally subsided in a degree when the
county commissioners took up
question, and appointed committees to
look into the proposition, and to in-
and visit other county In-
of kind to get what val-
suggestions that could be had
before any money was spent. It U
understood that some of the commit-
tees have investigated somewhat, but
no visits have been made to other
county homes. It Is believed that the
recommendation of the grand Jury
will have some effect upon the move-

At the request of the grand

of tho board of county commissioners,

with him tho conditions existing it

the improvement of the same. Ha
stated that the board had appointed

they arc now awaiting the report of
this committee. The grand Jury
so visited the home In a body, and
there discussed tho situation
with the committee of the board. We
find that a majority of the committee
Is not In favor of removing the home
from Its present site. The grand
jury Is composed of men from nearly
every section of the county and with-
out a single exception, arc opposed
t-j the removal of the home from
present location. We recommend and
urge that the present buildings at the
heme be repaired and improved at
once, and an additional and larger
buildings be erected to accommodate
comfortably the white Inmates and
the superintendent. We suggest that
tho convict road force might be used
to clear off the land at the county
home during the months of
and February, when the work on the
roads cannot amount to much good.
We believe that If this Is done and
a first competent farmer be em-
ployed as superintendent, at a
sufficient to command such a
man, the farm could be made more
than to the home. For we
find there two hundred acres of per-
as good land as there Is In
county. We And that the water sup
ply at the home Is insufficient, and
suggest that one or more pumps be
driven on the premises, or that a
modern water system Installed. We
find that tho Inmates of the county
home are kept as comfortable as
under the present circumstances.
We recommend that the glass
windows In tho clock tower in the
court house be removed, and that gal
Iron slats be placed Instead,
so that the striking of tho bell and
the clock can be better heard.
The members of the grand Jury
have been very mu.-h annoyed by
having no place to deposit their hats

matter should be remedied.
That we have passed on all bills

In regard to the .-ale of malt or

A remarkable in tin-
of pounds of tobacco on the local
market and a continuance the
gradual tailing off in the o
cotton are observed on the Green-
ville markets today. A break of
. pounds was noted on tobacco
market, which is the largest that the
town has experienced since the big
spies of September and early October.
The buyers and were
very agreeably surprised to see such
a large amount coming into the mar-
during the morning, and are of
the opinion that there is yet much
more to be sold.
Sales today were not concluded
until very near the time limit set by
the tobacco board of trade for the
sales of a day to close, that hour be-
4-30 o'clock. Of course, the mar-
handled a great deal more than
this on some of the days during the
busiest season, but the sales were
run longer in the day at that time
than now. It would not have
ed very much more than is here to-
day to block the market for the day
The price continues to be good.

today, and basis middling is selling
at 5-S cunts per pound. The mar-
opened at 3-4 cents, but grad
