Others being mentioned in con-
nection with the dictatorship of

Representative G.. A. Bardcn of
New Bern, Craven county, Sent
ator Carl Bailey of Plymouth,
Washington county, and Robert
A. Wcllons, attorney of Char
lotto. Both Barden and Bailey
were among the leaders of the
administration forces in the SEN
ate and house. while Rarden was
regarded as one Of the Three
Musketeers" of the administra-
ton in the house. There is little
doubt that Barden is in line for a
good state appointments he
wants one. But the general opin-
ion here is that he is not particu-
larly anxious for any state job.
Nor is it believed that Senator
Bailey of Plymouth is at all in
terestcd in any state JOB right
now.
The name of WcllOns has only
recently been heard here, when n

ernor Ehringhaus in his behalf

There arc also five vacancies
on the board Of conservation to

bcrs having expired, while one
member has resigned. Those
whose terms have expired are
James G.. K. Mcclure of Ashc-

vacancy was caused by the reslg-
nation of Ed. D. Crawford of

MORTGAGE ACT.
EXPECTED TO.
AID FARMERS.
F. R. Jones Makes Public
a Statement Outlining
Its Provisions

+. r. Jones, secretary-treasur-
CT of the Blue Ridge National
Farm Loan association, has re-
ceived from Frank II. Daniel,
president of the Federal Land
Bank of Columbia a statement
outlining the provisions OF the
emergency farm mortgage act
passed recently by congress and
which is expected to relieve farm
ers now in debt. Mr.. Jones, who
lives four miles east of Hender-
sOnville, today made public the
statement, which follows;
THE Emergency Farm Mort
gage Act of 1888 which recently
passed congress and was apprOve1
by the president May 18th, is Of
great Importance not only to the
borrowers from the Federal Land
Bank of Columbia. which operates
in the states of North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia and Flor
ida, but TO the thousands of other
farmers who are now in debt. To
the Federal Land Bank borrow
ers it meant that for period OF
FIVE years, beginning July 18th,
the interest rate on their long
term, amortized. first mortgage
loans from the Federal Land
Bank will be reduced to l-2 per
cent. The rate of interest part
by the borrowers from this bank
now varies from to per cent,
the average being not far from
3 1-2 per cent. This means an
average reduction of one per cent
a year in the rate of interest
which the borrowers will have to
pay this bank during that period.
To the borrowers from the Il
Federal Land banks, totallng
nearly 100000, it will mean 4
saving in interest of approximate
w SI1, 100000 annually or to-
tai of $55,OOO,0OO in the next
five years.
Fully as important as the re-
duction in the rate of interest to
cid borrowers is the announce
ment that under the new act the
Federal Land bank will be able
to make loans. through national
farm loan associations, during the
next two years, at rate not to
exceed 4 1-2 per cent. This low
rate of interest will continue un-
til July 1888, and is considerably
lower than that which prevails
throughout this district. By re-
ducing the rates charged by the
Federal Land banks it is anticl-
gated, indeed expected, that the
rates charged by many other
mortgage holders will be reduced
as these banks, since their organ
ization. in 1917, have established
a minimum rate in the farm mort
gage field, other institutions and
individuals following closely be-
hind.
The Emergency Farm Mortgage
Act also provides that borrowers
from Federal Land banks whose
loans are in good standing will
be required to make no payments
on the principal of their loans
during the same five-year period.
Loans which are not made through
national farm loan associations
but directly by the bank will bear
One-haf of one per cent higher
rate of interest until such time
as a new association is formed in
the borrowers community when
the rates charged will be the same
as on loans through associations
at that time. All borrowers will
have to purchase stock in an
amount equal to S. for each 800
loaned.

the activities Of the Federal Land

tended by the farm loan commits

Crty lost by foreclosure or invol-
untary sale within the last two
years. These loans will be made
to refnance the farmer after his
debts have been scaled down o.
extended in conformity with
agreements reached between the
creditors and the farmer.
"Thc amount which the COM
missioner may loan to any one
farmer can not exceed $4,000.
The amount of the mortgage, to-
gether with all prior mortgages

ness secured by the same farm

cent of the appraised value there
of. Such loans bear an interest
rate of 5 per cent and may be
repaid in installmcntS over a Sc
ries of years, but during the first
three years payment Of interest
only will be required. To secure
such a loan it is not necessary
that a farmer be a borrower
from the Federal Land bank.

SILVER GAINS
IT'S POLITICAL
ASCENDENCY
Held Essential to Normal,
lied international Trade
by Experts
By HARRY w. FRANTZ
United Press Staff Correspondent

.
WASHINGTON, May 22 (UP)
Silver has lost the tarnish of po-
/ litical disrcpute as the result of
international economic converse
tions instituted by President
Roosevelt.
The metal gains strength as Il
possible countcr-balance to the in
fa1ionarv trend in the currencies
of many countries.
Six principles of silver rehabili-
tation on which there was general
accord at conversations here in
recent weeks are all considered
by monetary experts within the
realm Of practically.
All the managed currency
enthusiasts represented here have
failed 10 find a means Of interna-
tional exchange sterilization with
cut the use Of bullion, and vir-
tually every country already has
applied gold embargo on its
own holdings.
A situation therefore, has arts
en- where experts believe the uni
versal acceptability of silver, even
at relatively low price, cannon
longer be ignored if international
trade is TO be normalized.
As interpreted by international
observers here, the siX-point sill
Yer program to be considered at
the London conference has pOliti-
cal and diplomatic strength be-
cause Of the fact that it does not
neccssitatc abandonment of the
gold standard by any country.
Neither does it revive the old
formula of a fixed international
bi-mctallic ratio which was the
, waterloo at repeated international
silver conferences in the last CEN
fury.
The six points for silver rchab-
ilitation to be considered at the
London conference, already pre-
liminarily agreed upon, were re-
vcaled by Chairman Pittman of
the senate foreign relations com
mittce, an ardent champion Of
the white metal, as follows:
Cd Raising and sterilization
of the price at some definite fig
ure yet to be established;
(2) Coordination of the stabiI-
ization with general international
exchange sterilization;
CD Abandonment of govern
mental practice Of dcbasing and
demonctizing silver;
(D Reforestation as soon as
practicable of the fneness of de-
based coins;
(5) Employment of silver to d
greater extent as basis for cur
rency issue, and
co Elimination of tariffs and
other distractions to the free
movement Of silver.

weekend indicative Of growing
appreciation of the potential
greater usefulness of silver in in

enough, SO it strikes me that the

say so, you fitted them very
nicely.

Noel Coward's comedy, wound UP

a souvenir of the brief road tour.
Beginning with Philadelphia
critics seemed to resent the fact
that Mr.. Coward was not present
with his play in company with
Lynn Fontanne and Alfred Lunt.
Miss Griffith they found lacked
completely the necessary glamour,
color and vivacity to be Mr.. Cow

the distinguished H. T. P. of the

that. He wrote:

Equally the crowd that emerges

The further fact that Para

Excellent Show
Now at Gayety

The Gayety snaps into rare
form this week with Gals and
Giggles," another Wilmer Wheel
show, which sets high mark
for these productions. In the
first place, the principals are.
without exception, excellent. The
female leads are good looking,
talented and have appealing per
sonalities. The comedy, barring
few raw spots, is clever and is
really comical; in fact, at times it
is hilarious. The chorus. believe
it or not, compares favorably with
any chorus you may see any
where.
Gladys Clark Is the outstand-
ing hit Of the production. She is
the star and deServedly so. A
blonde who is Snappy all the
way through, versatile, good look
ing and carries her part with q
verve. She is, in short, the best
feminine lead this reviewer has
ever seen on the burlesque stage.
Benny "Wop" Moore carries the
heavy end Of the comedy with
rare spirit. He is we'll worth
seeing. Johnny Cook is an able
assistant and does extremely well
in brief comedy skit.
Harry Bentley, Mae Moore and

fair to set a new high mark for
