100000
Project Is
Approved
Huge Sum Will Be Spent
To Dredge Creeks In
the County
BUILD BOATS

Work on the 100000 Rowan
county drainage project is expect
ed to get underway in the near
future, according to plans just an
nounced. The first item will be the
construction of dredge boats, it is
stated.
Approval of the project for the
drainage of Second, Third and
Fourth Creeks, which involves an
expenditure of 100000, was OBJ
tanned early this week from the
iFERA headquarters.
1t is estimated that it will re-
quire two years to complete the
work and will give employment to
ESQ men from relief rolls. Drain
age of approximately Is miles will
be included in the project.
The project was approved fol-
lowing conference in Washington
Iby local officials with Congressman
R. L. Doughton, representative
from this district. Local officials,
HEADED by Mrs. M. O.. Linton,
county welfare officer, and DR.. c.
W.. Armstrong, county health Of
lficer, have been working on the
project for some time. They were
assisted by DR.. L. L. Williams and
|CoL. Joseph Hyde Pratt, who were
tdsfsgatsd BY Harry Hopkins, ma
ltional FERA administrator, in CO.
Operation with Mrs. O'Berry, state
FERA administrator.
The drainage project will be
supervised by W. D. Alexander,
district drainage engineer Of the
state board of health, and M. E.
miller, county drainage supervisor.
County officials and Rowan
county citizens are delighted that
the project has been approved as it
will eliminate artas which have
been breeding places for malarial
fever for many years and will re-
claim 5000 acres of valuable land
heretofore not cultivated. The
drainage will be beneficial to cover
$4,000 people.

clined to modify some of the re-
strictions which have prevented
the making of profits.
Chief among these obstacles, it is
realized now, was the effort to put
wages ahead of increase in business.
The Presidents proposal for a
labor truce" in his recent radio
address is being interpreted as indi-
eating that the Government will
not use its influence to force union
ization, and will help to prevent
the forcing of workers into unions
by intimidation.
The most recent Interpretation
of the famous "7a" clause of the
Recovery Act is that, while a ma
lority of the workers in any indus
try may elect to join and be re-
presented by any labor union Or Or
ganization they prefer, hat does
not compel the minority to go a
long. Every worker retains hi.
right of individual bargaining, and
a minority group can set up their
own collective bargaining organiza-
zion.
On this matter of labor and
wages, there is 4 good deal Of talk
ing and someAdeep thinking going
on about the suggestion made by
the President that perhaps the best
way to APPROACH the subject is from
the point of view of annual income
of the workers, rather than ratt
per hour or week. That has a de-
finite bearing on the building
trades, which are traditionally sea.
sonal, and the high wages which
are justified by labor on the grouns
that they don't work all the yea,
around. The Presidents reference
to England as an example of re.
eovery has led to inquiries abou'
British wages. After making du'
allowance for difference in costs O.
living, which are not great, i
seems to be the fact that building
trades workers in England do no
enioy a much higher rate per hou.
than other industry workers.
The matter of wages in tn
building trades has a bearing on tn
program of the Federal HOUSING
Administration. That is starting
out to be the most successful of al
the Administrators plans so far
Applications for undermining
loans are increasing at the rate o:
40 percent a week, and the out
look for widespread new HON
building activity gets distinct,
brighter from day to day.
The question of labor costs will
shortly become a distinct concerl
of the Housing board. The aver
age annual income of industrial
workers in this country is estimat
ed, in the best of times, at $3.50
a year or thereabouts. Can build
ing labor be spread out over a grea
number Of operations SO as to Civ
every of the four or five mil
lion unemployed in the bulldin:
trades an annual income of tina
much or more, without loading la
Dor costs too heavily on individual
houses?
In the AAA they have just beer
taking a vote of farmers in tn
corn-hog belt, to see how many o
them want to go along next season
in the matter of crop reduction ant
birth-control in the hog family
The replies received so far indicat
that more than 80 percent of tn
farmers are for the continuance O
the plan.
Another vote of farmers is to b
called for soon, under the Bank
head cotton control law. AS tn
law stands, the total production o

New Deal Has
Brought Hope,
Doughton Says

Congressman Robert L. Dough
ton of the Ninth district opened
the Rowan Democratic campaign
here Monday night at the curt
house before an OVERLOOKING crowd
and emphatically acclaimed the
Deal, as contrasted with the
old, as bringing new hope, new op-
|portunity, better confidence and
more abundant life to a nation
that was in distress.
The congressman, chairman Of
the house ways and means COM
mittee, discussed the banking sit
uation, public debt, the recovery
acts, the farm administration, and
other phases of government, and
said the net results had been a
revival Of business, and greatly
improved conditions.
The Bankhead cotton bill was
passed at the insistence of the
farmers, he declared, and had re-
suited in far higher prices for cot
ton and better incomes. The cur
tailment programs also brought
about bettered conditions and
prices for all other farm commodi-
ties, he said. ::
Charles L.. Coggin, nominee for
solicitor of the fifteenth judicial
district, introduced Mr.. Doughton,
while the meeting was presided
over by Ross M. Sigmon, county
Democratic chairman.
Mr.. Doughton expressed his ap-
probation for the large crowd, and
called attention to the banner dis
played behind the speakers stand
which showed that Rowan was
the banner county in the 9th con-
gressional district in 1882. He
thanked the voters for the majority
of more than 5000 given him in
Rowan county, and for the major
|ity of over $4,000 given him in the
district over his Republican oppon-
ent.
He praised the Democratic ad-
.ministration in North Carolina dur
ing the past "a years, declaring it
has given to this state an honest,
efficient and capable government,
and he bespoke for county officials
as we'll as state and national, con-
tinued support Of the voters.
Mr.. Doughton said on March 4,
1888, when the president was in
augurated, credit had collapsed, in
.dustry was paralyzed, farmers were
bankrupt, millions were out of
work, and financial disaster faced
the nation.
Under Roosevelt's leadership, the
banks have been made safe, deposit
insurance makes banks the safest
place for money, and confidence has
been restored, he said. Deposits in
banks have jumped over five billion
dollars as a result, he continued.
/ Mr.. Doughton also said that the
bank check tax, which he declared
obnoxious and irritable as we'll as
unnecessary, will be taken off Jan.
4, 1885. This bill was sponsored
by Mr.. Doughton.
He next discussed the .AAA
which was set up to help bring
about a balance between consump-
tion and production, and was enact
ed at the instance Of leaders in

An increase $484,1 Is, 90
Rowan County farmers are receiving cotton rental checks to
the amount of $94, 24S.00 on the 1884 crop, in addition to the
regular market price that they receive for their cotton. These
rental payments come from the government through a processing
tax that is added to the price of all cotton cloth and paid for by
every citizen of the U. S. as a purchase of cotton goods.
totalng $94, $500, in addition to what they received for the
crop. These payments were received from the processing tax as
the quota therefrom in 1888.
Rowan County farmers received in 1888 on their reduction of
wheat acreage, wheat rentals totaing SIC, 254.OO and for 1884
payments supplement the amount of money that the farmers re-
ceived in addition to the sale price of the crops sold. These pay
nents to the farmers were both the result of the present Admins
tration's effort to assist agriculture to recover.
The agricultural relief bill passed during the administration
preceding the present made no attempt to balance the level be-
tween production and consumption and the result was a huge sur
recall that the Government Board bought up great SURPRISES Of
seemed that the more surplus appeared and the result was huge
amounts of wheat and cotton on hand. Piles of wheat were
burned in the streets of Western towns and much was abandoned
and left to ret for the reason that it cost the farmer more to
harvest than he could realize in price and he saw the fruit Of his
toll turn to ashes and distress and poverty that stared him in the
face became a reality. In 1892, fifteen million people were estmat-
ed to be out of employment and many of these were farmers who
had lost their homes through mortgage foreclosures due to low
prices of farm products.
When we realize the fact that most crops have increased in
price one hundred per cent, cotton as well, is the effort OF the ad-
ministration not a step in the right direction?
Which is better, six cents cotton under the old deal or 12H
cents cotton under the NEW DEAL?

Earl and Frank Dunn, 11-year- and 9-year-old brothers of little Florence Hawkesworth arrived on the steamer Yukon to join their sister and make their home with MT. and Mrs. c. w. Hawkesworth in the future.
 Both parents of the three chil- dren died several years ago in Nome, their former home, and for the last two years the boys have been attending school at the Jesse Lee Home in Seward. They were looked after on the steamer trip by Miss Alice Palmer, former head of the music department in the Juneau Public Schools, who came to this city from her present &ome in Anchorage to spend the holi- days.
 There was a happy reunion in the Hawkesworth residence after the early arrival of the steamer and since Christmas day had been spent by the boys aboard the Yu- kon, they had their tree and pres ents right after breakfast. An in- teresting coincidence was brought out when 1t was found that all three children have their birthdays on the 29th day of the month, Florence in July, Earl in May and Frank in September.
