A new franchise from the city to
the Carolina Telephone 81 Telegraph
Company to run for twenty years was
agreed upon by a committee Of the
Hende, son City Council and attorneys
for the telephone company at a meet
ing late Tuesday afternoon, but 1t will
not become effective and the fran
chise will not actually be granted un-
til the plan is approved and accepted
by the City Council after it has been
read three times at regular meetings
of the Council
The agreement was reached after
negotiations had been under way be-
tween city authorities and the tele-
phone company for months. BY its
terms the telephone company grants
fifteen free telephones to the city and
gives the city control over the streets
IN the matter of location of telephone
poles ana other equipment. The city
originally demanded a cash payment
by the company of $1,000 annually for
a franchise. The company, on the 9TH
er hand, sought a permit extending
over period of thirty years instead
of the 20 included in the final agree
.nent.
The first regular meeting of the
City Council at which the agreement
can be read will be Monday week on
July - 1t could then he read at the
regular meetings on the fourth Mon
days of August and September, when,
after approval, the franchise would
be signed and made effective. While
the committee had no authority to do
anything but negotiate, it is expected
that the agreement it will recommend
to the Council will be readily approx
ed there.
The break between the city and the
Company came in the fall of 1888. At
that time arrangements were being
made for the requirement of Garrett
street the city's main business thor
oughfare, with the installation of a
white way The telephone company
was asked and then commanded by
the city to put its poles underground.

ranging from so down. Not even one
field was rated as being of good"
quality but there were many "fair"
and poor
The highest rating of % fields be-
tween Fayetteville and Ellington was
SIS percent of last years production.
Most of the others were between 30
and SO percent. All of the quality
gradings were 'fair" and poor"
Ninety-one fields of tobacco were in
spected between Ellington and Ra-
leigh with the highest quantity rat
ing being 70, and only five of them.
Many were from is to 60 and very
many even lower than that. Not q
single field was rated as of "very
good" quality but a number were put
down as being good" Most of them
were fair" and poor"
The survey was one of the most ex-
hauStive and of greatest detail of any
to have been reported here Mr.. Knott
was in Eastern Carolina territory
early this week, and said conditions
there were much the same as further
to the south and west. In the ter
ritory around Henderson, he found
both quantity and quality higher, but
far below that for last year in both in
stances.
He looks for prices this year we'll
above last years average, when the
Henderson market averaged for the
season approximately q cents, and
said it looked more like 1884 prices
to him. In 1884 the Henderson market
averaged trifling fraction under 30
cents for the season, when a little
more than 15,OOO,OOO pounds of tobac-
co was sold. Last year this market
sold just under 25,O0O,OOO pounds.

Raleigh, May 12-Sandy Graham,
one of the candidates for governor in
the June primary, favOrs State coop
GRAFTON under the United States social
security act, and the national child
labor amendment, he told the West
ern North Carolina branch of the
American Association of University
Women, of Asheville, in answers mail
ed to a QUESTIONABLE sent out by Mrs.
luigi Zande, president of the group.
In the same reply, Mr.. Graham con-
fessed he did not know much about a
teachers loyalty oath, but he said he
opposed any legislation abridging the
right of free speech or discussion.
The QUESTIONABLE, with Mr.. Ora
hams answers follows:
Il. Do you stand for the national
child labor amendment? If you OPP
pose the amendment, what measure
do you advocate in it's place to pro-
tect the children of North Carolina?
Answer: Eyes, I favor the national
child labor amendment.
20 Would you support, as governor,
a social security bill?
Answer: Eyes, I favor a state So
cial security ace; In fact I publicly
urged our governor to call a special
session of the legislature more than
four months ago to enact such legis-
lation.
20. Would you oppose or support a
teachers loyalty oath, should such
come before the assembly at the COM
ing session?
Answer: II must confess T do not
know much about a teachers loyalty
oath; but I feel that no legislation
should be enacted which would alb
ridge the right of free speech and
discussion. OF course, all office hold
ers should endeavor to support and
uphold the Constitution of North
Carolina and the United States, but
this should not prevent discussion of
suggested changes, which undoubted-
ly are needed from time to time"

TOBACCOM|STS TO
PLAY THREE GAMES
Oxford Here Tomorrow;
Home Security Thursday
Open League Saturday

The Henderson Tobacconists face
three games during the remainder of
the week, according to the schedule
released by Ed Powell, manager of
the team.
Oxford comes here Wednesday for
a contest, and the Home Security
nine of Durham will be entertained
Thursday afternoon. Henderson and
Oxford will prize off the lid in the
Virginia-Carolina league here Satur-
day afternoon, and the other four
clubs in the circuit will do likewise,
the schedule to be released shortly.
Powell has announced his line up
as Savage first base, Breedlove, sec
ond, Terrell, short stop, Miller, third,
Tutor, left field, Perry, center, and
Hoyle, right, and Harrington, Plea
SAINTS and Woodlief will do the hurl-
ing and Powell will handle some of
the catching duties.
Many of his players hail from Louis
burg college, and have played in the
fast Chowan league last year.
Powell has appealed for the sup
port of fans for the coming season,
promising high class baseball.

of Greensboro and Raleigh, hardly
any one can be found who thinks
Johnson is in any danger whatever.
There is some slight interest in the
contest for the nomination for State
auditor between Baxter Durham, the
present auditor, George Ross Pou,
Willard l.. Dowell and Charles w.
Miller. The fact that Pou has been
very active the past several weeks
and has visited more counties than
any of the other inclines good many
to believe that if Durham can be de-
feated, Pou will do it.
The contest between Commissioner
of Agriculture w. A. Graham and w.
Kerr Scott, of Haw River, Alamance
county, for the nomination for COM
missioner of agriculture is not at
tracing much interest and most OBJ
servers are bettin gon Graham be-
cause of his past success in defeat
ing opponents and because of his adj
mitted ability as a politician, although
Scott is agreed to be the most able
and best known opponent he has yet
had.
Although Clyde A. Erwin, State
superintendent of public instruction,
has two opponents-A. B. Alderman,
of Snow Hill, and Gilbert Craig, of
HillsborO-most observers believe he
will win the nomination by a good
sized majority over his two opponents.
None of the other State officials has
any opposition in the primary.

department heads are giving the NC
Donaldites chance to say, I'VE tolo

ham is shooting at some of the same
things Mcdonald has been shooting
at all along
Worry Mcdonald.
But these pOt-shots which Graham
is taking at the Ehringhaus admin
istration are also causing some con-
Germ in Mcdonald headquarters, In
that they are being made primarily
to lure some of the Mcdonald sup
porters away from the Forsyth col
lefe professor over into the Graham
camp, it is agreed. For the Graham
strategiSts are now convinced that
one of the biggest factors in the pre-
sent campaign is the extreme I'M
popularity of the Ehringhaus admin
istration and it's hook-up with that OF
former Governor O. Max Gardner
who is the brother-in-law of Clyde r
Hoey, and the realization that Nc
Donald has gained much of his fol
lowing by being against this hook
up. Many here are convinced that
Graham can now lure a lot of this
element away from Mcdonald by as
sailing the present administration
and showing that he is not it's fair
haired favOrite.

both Hoey and the present State adj

that indications point to anything but
a plentiful amount of funds in the

most impartial observers here are
convinced that at the present time
Graham is waging a more militant
campaign than any of the other can

the Hoey managers to exult or gloat
