Local Banks Buy the Bonds

Bankers of High Point and Green's
boro have taken over the $1,000
court house bond issue of Guilford
county, paying par for same. Sew
eral other bids were offered but GER
tain limitations made the bonds fall
below par, thus local bankers were
awarded the bonds. The Greensboro
National Bank, Greensboro Loan &
Trust Co., American Exchange Ma
tional Bank of Greensboro and the
Commercial National Bank of High
Point are in the pool. The S per
cent check of C. T. Dennison & Co.
who bid in the bonds at first with a
premium of $4,000 and who later
backed out On trumped-up techEi-
cality, will be retained and an at
tempt made to cash it. If successful
the county commissioners will have
$4,000 premium on the bonds after
all. The commissioners claim there
was nothing wrong about the bonds
and therefore the check can be re-
tanned since the bidders backed out.
Payment on the check has been re-
fused so far.

A GREAT FEED CROP

Washington, D. c., Oct. -.-"In
the velvet bean the South has new
feed crop of high value" said Fair
fax Harrison. president of the South
ern Railway system, today.
This bean promises to be one of
the great agricultural assets of the
South. The northern limit of its
successful production is substantial
ly the same as the northern limit OF
the cotton belt. 1t is grown in corn,
increasing the yield of corn, as it is
a great nitrogen gatherer, and the
cost of production is so small that it
has been aptIy said that it is all its
name implies--all velvet In former
years it has been grown extensively
enough to demonstrate its great eco
nomic value, and this year its pro-
duction has spread ever almost the
entire cotton belt, at least 5,OOO,O ,OOO
acres being grown in the States
served by the Southern Railway
system.
