Cotton Plan Helps
Bankers, Merchants
AS Well AS Farmers

Bankers and merchants and 9TH
er business and professional men
as we'll as farmers will be benefit
ted by the governments plan of
accepting cotton from Southern
producers at 9H cents per pound,
according to U. Benton Blalock,
president of the American Cotton
Cooperative Association.
IF cotton producers are en-
couraged and allowed to collater-
alize their seed loan notes it will
mean that some $3.50 to SIS in
cash will be retained by the pro-
ducer on each BALE" Mr.. Blalock
said, adding the producer 'of
course will turn loose this money
in his home community for the
necessary things that he and his
family must have during the fall
and winter months"
Between $1,5oo,ooo and ST.
100000, which without the plan
would have been forced into the
U. S. Treasury at "this very try
ing time" MI. Blalock estimated,
will be released in North Carolina
to purchase necessities and pay on
bills, thereby enlivening trade.
Although the Standardization
price is 9H cents per pound for
middling rs cotton, Mr.. Blalock
said in his opinion, judging from
the grades and staples of the cot
ton the cooperative has been re-
ceiving and the premiums it is
paying therefor, North Carolina
farmers should receive an average
of near the 10 cent limit. on their
collaterialized loans"

He not alone deserves the sup

We believe he especially merits

1t is true, as Mr.. Smith has said,
that the party must be purged Of

OUR TROUBLE
FROM ABROAD

To The Editor:
The Republican high command
claims "all of our troubles come
from abroad" Under the circum-
stances this is a display Of magni-
fcient generosity if lacking in po-
@litical sagacity.
The confession is only too true.
However, our chief trouble came
from abroad when Mr.. Hoover,
with an alien slant of mind after
hobnobbins with Orientals, aris-
tocrats and royalty for years, re-
entered the United States and then
the trouble" was grated upon
this country by the vote of the
most gigantic array of intolerance
the world has ever known.
And SO, Mr.. Voter, you had bet
ter pack up your TROUBLE" on
Monday November 8, ship him
back abroad as an undesirable citi-
den and elect Franklin D. Roose-
welt, who has the American slant
of mind. Then happy days will
be here again.

KING FOOTBALL

There is no mistaking the fact
that football has definitely sup
planted baseball as the national
game of America. While the foot
ball season is a short n as COM
pared to the months of baseball,
the total football attendance in a
season must run the baseball atten-
dance very closely if it does not
surpass it. And the number of
spectators per game is vastly great
er.
While baseball is still very much
alive in the colleges and schools it
has lost much of its charm and its
ability to draw the crowds.
There are no longer any real pro-
fits in minor league baseball. One
by one the smaller leagues are be-
ing forced out of business. Even
the two major leagues find the
going none too easy.
But football is the money-maker
of all the sports. Even the high
school teams manage to take in
very large sums at the gate. All
other school and college sports are
supported by football.
Baseball is interesting but foot
ball provides the thrills and hat
is what the crowd wants.
The opening up of the game by
legalizing the forward pass has ad-
ded greatly to its value as a spect-
acle. The effect of it may be seen
in the actions of small boys tossing
the ball around in groups. Form
erly the youthful football enthus-
last got his chief pleasure in punt
ing or dropkicking. Now he is all
for developing his skill as a for
ward passer.
Whether profession al football
will ever surpass baseball as the
major professional sport is a quest
ion. 1t has made a good deal of
Roadway but is up against the stern
competition of college with its ad-
ded social side.
There seems no reason why pro-
fessional football should not thrive
even with the sharp competition
of the colleges. More and more
people are attracted to football as "a
sport. The schoolboys follow it
with a zest they do not give to
baseball.
The professional football players
play hard and put on a good show,
in fact a better demonstration Of
real skill in the game than the top
notch college elevens.

Financial Troubles MAY

Confronted by financial difficult

Trustees Of the various town
ships, with the exception of Wash
ington, have sent word to county
school heads that lack of funds may
terminate the school year in Jan
uary or February, three months be-
fore the regular session expires.
Blame for the situation was laid
today by school authorities on legis-
lative action, chiefly passage of the
$3.50 tax limitation bill.
A legislative resolution which
SlaShed salaries of governmental en-
ployes has cut pay of county school
teachers On the basis of wages which
they never were paid, they charged
The law provides that all persons
working on a per diem basis shall
be considered as working 300 days
a year. The county teachers con-
tracts provide per diem pay.
Since the teachers receive pay for
only about 100 days a year, they
point out that they are being cut on
the basis of 100 days of pay which
they do not get.
The additional salary cut, together
with the prospect OF the shorter
school year, the teachers say, will
place teachers on serious financial
straits.
