LOCAL ATTORNEYS ENDORSE GAVIN
FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY FOR THE
MIDDLE DISTRICT NORTH CAROLINA

E. L. Gavin, Sanford, N. c., one of
the leading Republicans in North Car
DINA, has received the endorsement of
a majority of the members of the Sal
,isbury bar, for reappointment as Unit
ed States District Attorney, middle
district of North Carolina, according
to an announcement made today by
John L. Rendleman, Jr., chairman of
the Rowan County Republican Execu-
tive Committee.
Mr.. Rendleman, who circulated a Pc
tition among the local attorneys, says
a majority signed the instrument.
This, in effect, amounts to an endorse
ment.
While a majority of the Salisbury
attorneys are affiliated with the Dem
o%cratic party, and take little interest
in Republican Federal appointments,
they often show a preference by af-
liking their signatures to petitions
when requested.
Three other applicants have enter
ed the race. They are: Mr.. McRary,
Lexington; Mr.. Hall, Winston-S Salem;
Mr.. Stanly, Greensboro. All are at
torneys affiliated with the Republican
party.
Mr.. Gavin is the present district at
torney and has held this position for
the past four years.
The State Executive Committee of
the Republican party will meet in
Greensboro in December for the pur-
pose Of making a recommendation for
appointment. This recommendation
will be forwarded to the Attorney
General who in turn submits it to the
president who makes the appointment.
The appointment will be made in jan
uary.
The appointment will be for a term
OF tour years.
Mr.. Gavin has prosecuted the dock
ct at the various terms of Federal court
held in Salisbury during the past four
years and has many friends in Sails
bury and Rowan county who are INK
ious to see him reappointed.

COTTON PRICES
DROP 81 PER BALE
Lowest In Generations;
South Will Lose Millions
Slight Recovery.

New Orleans, Aug. 12.-Southern
agriculture was dealt a blow by the
collapse of the cotton market that car
ried prices lower than have been re-
corded in the 10th century.
The break represented a potential
loss of millions to the south. 1t came
at a time when agriculture was be-
ginning to recover from drought, low
prices and mortgages. 1t left the farm
er surveying his fields with the idea of
either blowing up a part of his crop
or leaving it to rot
The break followed Saturdays esti-
mate from the United States govern
ment that the American crop would
reach 1~5,5S4,000 bales, more than L.
100000 bales above last years pro-
duction.
Prices On the New York exchange,
influenced by persistent buying by
shorts, recovered to $5.45 to $50 per
bale below Saturdays close after the
initial drop of more than 81 per bale,
Prices were the lowest since 1899 when
October cotton sold at $3.50.

Hoover Celebrates
His 57th Birthday

Washington, Aug. 12.-President
Hoover, born 81 years ago in the home
of his village blacksmith father at
West Branch, Iowa, Monday observ-
ed the anniversary Of that event by
motoring from his Rapidan camp in
the morning and working all after
oon at the White House executive
offices.
Departing from a custom of long
standing in the Hoover family, no Gel

President that he had passed another
mile stone. Had it not been for the
interest of the Filipino cooks and mess
boys at the Rapidan camp there would
have been no cake and no candies.

OMMERCE
0 l.
By R. E. L. MEL

Most men are actuated by two
motives, the desire to attain distinc-
ton and the ambition to win the app
roval of their fellow men. The average
Chamber of Commerce offers excel
lent opportunity for a man to do both
in a most worthy way.
There is a general agreement as to
the principle of the Chamber of
Commerce, its objective being to make
conditions right for better, happier
and more prosperous living in the
community it erves People often
times differ as to the policies and meth
DDS by which this principal may be
efectuated, some c%ontending that
success lies in the increase of payrolls
through securing the wei elusive smoke
stack, some contending that the de-
velopment of trade and others claim
ing that it all depends upon healthful
agricultural developments. All of
these contentious may be right, ever
in the same community, a community
such as Salisbury.
The point is however that in the
prosecution of this work every man
and likewise many women are in posi-
ton not only to do something help
full but to attain distinction and win
the approval of his or her fellows.
Some extremely idealistic may neglec,
their W interest for the public good
and thereby win distinction but hardly
general approval. 1t is the one who
seeing in public service an opportunity
to serve their community, legitimate
ly advances their own standing, tina,
reaches the goal and secures the COM
mendation sufficient unto itself in
well done thou good and Faithful
servant"
Possibly the major object of Thu
Salisbury Chamber of Commerce fo1
the present is securing for this city
its share of the tourist travel. Up t.
a few years ago Salisbury's main stree,
was thronged with automobiles bearing
tags of other states than North Caro-.
lima. With the completion of othel
highways competition arose and while
the new candidates for north ane
south travel prominently ADVERTISED
their routes, the Piedmont Carolinas
busy with industrial developments al
lowed practically all of the tourists

to be weaned away. Now has come
an appreciation of what the tourist
means and Salisbury and other citiec
IN central Virginia and the Carolinas
have determined to prosecute an active
campaign to regain the travel allowed
to go elsewhere.
The campaign for tourists necessi-
tates a liberal amount of literature
setting forth the attractions to be
found in the community and the sup
ply which the Salisbury Chamber of
commerce had on hand for the past
three years is entirely exhausted. An
appeal has gone out to citizens, pat
riotically inclined, who are not now
aligned with the organization to
come forward and provide the means
for securing this badly needed l%itera-
ture. 1t is not proposed to publish an
extensive booklet, but a neat, we'll ill
ustrated pamphlet setting forth the
things we'll worth seeing in this
vicinity would admirably serve the
purpose and it is wondered if there
are not some twenty or more good
citizens willing to do their share to-
wards telling the world just what
Salisbury has and how attractive it
really is.

sideration and either allowed or dis
allowed by the Charlotte Regional Of

ilege of appealing the case to the Cen

Are you gloomy about prospects
for the future in a business way? If
SO, think over the way a director of
a big business concern put it up to a
fellow member of his board.
Can you tell me how far a dog
can run into the woods?" He asked.
The fellow director appeared dis
gusted with such a still question and
answered "He can run into the woods
as far as he likes"
NO." said the older director,
when he has run into the woods half
way, he is then running out of the
woods and this is exactly what the
average business mar is doing today.
They are on the last lap of a long and
lonely train out of the woods.

EASTERN RUMRUNNERs MISTAKE COAST GUARD
 FOR LIQUOR VESSEL

COTUIP, Mass, Sept. IS, (P- The rum runners off Cape Cod have yet to learn that Coast Guard boats do not sell liquor.'
 The crew of the Coast Guard pa trol boat BIO seized 300 cases of liquor, a s foot power boat, two small motor boats, row boat and six men simply because the run ners got little careless. The 9l0 was formerly a rum-runner tramp. She was converted into patrol but in the half light of an early morning she somewhat resembled her old self.
 Just before dawn a motor boat hailed her, Which side will we load on?" Right over here", the Bos'n answered. And the first of four boats was taken in. Another motor boat and a row boat repeat the formula and wanted to unload. Her crew of three men was taken off and the boat with 300 cases of liquor was taken to Woods Hole.
