North Carolina Cotton Production Shifts and Projections
A study led by W. Rea Parker of the Wayne County Club at North Carolina State University analyzes cotton output across counties. It highlights that despite reductions in some areas, the state produces more cotton per acre than others in the belt while consuming most of its raw cotton domestically. The piece notes a net economic imbalance where merchants and bankers gain from external markets while farmers see limited gains, and it discusses shifts in county yields from 1914 to 1919 with several counties doubling their production and others declining. It also covers a push by the Anti-Saloon League for a constitutional prohibition amendment ahead of the next Congress, detailing organizational steps and key appointees.

Holt Killed Himself in Mineola Jail After Morgan Shooting
Frank Holt Cornell University professor who shot J P Morgan at his Glen Cove home last Saturday died in his Mineola jail cell. Doctors say death came from a fractured skull with conflicting reports on whether Holt died by suicide or accident. Jail officials and the coroner prepared for an autopsy as questions linger about the exact sequence of events and whether a percussion cap or other weapon was involved. District Attorney and jail staff provided statements while Holt’s father in law disclosed family plans and a potential move near the Southern Methodist University.
