(Foxl Dir: David Howard. Cast:
George O'Brien, Irene Ware, Ken
meth Thomson, Maude Allen.
The son of railroad magnate
makes good on his own merits by
engaging in railroad work under
an assumed name. The story un-
folds against the scenic beauty of
forest and mountain and includes
a record breaking dash in a loco
motive as one Of its most excit-
ing episodes. The father and son
relationship receives interesting
and sympathetic treatment. A
rather obvious plot, with some
new angles, and a pleasant ro-
nance. Family.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY
$50 Red The Rose para
mount) Dir: King Vidor. Cast;
Margaret SULLIVAN, Rand o | p h
Scott, Walter Connolly, Janet
Beecher. Elizabeth Patterson.
Stark Young's novel has been
sensitively adapted by Sherwood
Anderson and Laurence Stallings.
The scene is laid in Mississippi
before and during the Civil War.
The heme is stimulating one and
is treated with proper emphasis
and directorial skill. The hero
liking to see things grow" and
hating destruction, is reluctantly
driven to war and we are shown
the utterly devasting effect upon
him in his transformation as a
soldier whose dominating instinct
is to kill. Thus the picture shows
what is essentially true of all
wars-a vital problem of tragic
intensity. The spirit of the wom-
en- of the South, slave insurrec-
ton and the wars repercusslons
on the home are all unfolded
with beautiful simplicity. The
whole cast gives outstanding per-
formances, altogether a splendid
production, highly recommended
for adults and young people.
WEDNESDAY
"Sylvia Scarlet" (RKO-Radio)
Dir: George Cukor. Cast: Rather
inc Hepburn, Cary Grant, Brian
Aherne, Edmund GWenn, Dennle
Moore.
The attempt of a young girl,
loyal to her father, to escape the
poverty and rascality to which he
has brought her. allows Miss Hep
burn full scope for her peculiar
type of emotionalism and drama
tic vitality. The screen story is
marred by a somewhat confused
plot but contains several quite
penetrating character studies and
the deft comedy touch is almost
never absent. Adult entertain
ment.
THURSDAY
"Millions in The Air" para
mount) Dir: Ray McCarey. Cast:
Wendy Barrie, John Howard,

An amusing satire of Major

Story Of Dixie
War AT Carolina
Monday, Tuesday

Although the War Between the
States serves as it's background,
$50 Red the Rose" coming on
Monday and Tuesday to the Caro-
lima theatre, is a romantic story
of the south, for Stark Young, au-
thor Of the novel on which the
film is based, endowed his story
with a nostalgia appreciation of
the southerners of that period.
King Vidor, who directed Mar
garet SULLIVAN, Randolph Scott
and Walter Connolly in $50 Red
the Rose" made every effort to
hold to the authors viewpoint,
and create in the screen drama,
the feeling and movement of the
original novel.
$50 Red the Rose" is the story
of the Bedford family, owners of
an old plantation. There is the
father walter Connolly, the
mother (Janet Beecher) and the
daughter (Margaret Sullavan).
There are also two brothers, and
a distant cousin randolph Scott)
with whom the daughter is in love.
The picture has many interest
ing backgrounds. The historic
Battle of Shiloh is re-enacted.
There are scenes both humorous
and dramatic involving the hun
dreds of negro slaves who work
on the Bedford plantation. Con-
siderable attention was also paid
to details, assuring the picture
authentic backgrounds that are in
harmony with the 1860 era.
The 7 o'clock performance of
$50 Red the Rose" at the Caro-
lima Monday will be dedicated to
the local chapter Of the U.D.C.

ton. This increase, he says, came
at time when the purchasing
power of the American people had
not been increased and the result
to the textile industry was ire
mendous losses. 1t is his opinion
that no textile mills made money
during a period of Is months aft
er these acts were effective.
However, Captain Smyth be-
lieves that the textile industry is
in very good position as it faces
the year, and he is of the opinion
that if confidence can be restored
and the existing fear of uncer-
tainty overcome, the industry as
a whole would be in position TO
make gains during 1885.
Captain Smyth sees little eXpan-
sion in the textile field during the
coming year, pointing out that in
dividuals and mills are afraid to
put. money into buildings or ma
chinery with the prevailing uncer-
tain conditions.
BALFOUR OPERATES ON
FULL TIME SCHEDULE
E. A. Smyth, 3rd, treasurer of
Balfour, states that the mill was
operated on a full time day and
night schedule during the year
1885, in keeping with the policy
of always operating regardless OF
orders. Orders are on hand for
short time only, he states, and lie
declared that he was not in a po-
sition to make a prediction as to
the volume of business expected
in 1886. The volume in 1885 was
less than in 1884, he said.
The uncertainty caused by the
pending supreme court decision on
the cotton processing tax, and the
uncertain threat of unfavorabje
legislation in this session of con-
gress are seen by him as obstacles
to be overcome if there is to be
any real recovery for the industry
during the coming year. ID.
There was substantial selling OF
cotton goods during the last 81
or 60 days of 1885, he points out,
but he also voices the opinion that
the uncertainty is preventing buy
ers from placing orders for future
delivery.
GREEN RIVER HAS GOOD
YEAR DURING 1885 -,
R. w. Boys, president of the
Green River Mills, states thai
1885 was a satisfactory year Tor
his concern, which manufactures
fine combed yarns. Orders on
hand at the present, he states, arc
sufficient for about three months
| operation in 1886. The uncertain
trend of the federal program Is
seen by him as the most serious
handicap to recovery OF industry
! during the coming year.
Buyers, he says, are uncertain
as to what the government trend
| will be and don't know what to 40.
They can only wait to see what
will happen.
During 1885, Mr.. Boys says,
some expansion took place at ms
mill, The concern is now employ
ing about 275. people in full day
| and night shif( more people, than
have ever before been employed

certaintv can be removed from the

DECREASE IN FARM
| INTEREST IS CITED
F. c. A. Governor Explains
Benefits of Lower Rates
in Refinancing.

A smaller part of the farmers in
come now goes to pay farm mort
gage interest than at any time since
1929, w. I. Myers, Farm Credit Ad-
ministration governor, stated today.
Increased income and lower debt
charges have put the farmer in the
most favorable position with respect
to interest payment since before the
depression" Myers said.
Lower interest rates, debt concili-
ations. and other factors have lifted q
s160 100000 interest load from the
farmers back since 1882 and reduced
the total farm mortgage interest bill
to the lowest point since 1917" he
continued.
According to his statement the
farmers mortgage interest bill, which
rose to nearly 10 per cent of gross
farm income in 1932-the all-time high
point-dropped to per cent in 1895.
compared to At in 1929. The in
treset bill, which stood at s510,00O.-
600 in 1882, dropped steadily to ap-
proximately $3.50 100000 in 1885.

in farm income, occurred until 1888"
Myers continued. while gross farm
income dropped Sc per cent from
1929. to 1882 the interest charges on
mortgage debts dropped only per
cent.
I'm 1888, however, due to refinanc-
ing at lower rates and shrinkage In
total debt volume, the interest bill
dropped sharply. The total decrease
to 1885 was 80 per cent. The reduce
ton, accompanied by the increase in
farm commodity prices since 1898, has
restored the pre-depression relation
ship between farm income and the
farmers interest obligations"
The governor said marked improve
ment in interest collections on Federal
Land Bank loans over the past two
years leads him to believe that a SIM
liar improvement In payments on
farm mortgage debts in general has
also occurred.
Cites Farm Credit Aid.
He explained that while large part
Of the decrease In the mortgage in
terest bill results from reduction in
the mortgage debt itself, over one
third results from lower interest rates
and refinancing through the Farm
Credit Administration.
Farmers with mortgage loans
through the Farm Credit Administra-
tion are saving over $68, 100000 on in
terest alone this year because Of re-
financing or as q result Of temporary
interest reductions provided by Con-
gress for Federal Land Bank bor-
rowers," Myers said.
He said that nearly $4,000 ,000, 900
Of farm debts, drawing interest rates
that averaged 6.3 per cent a year,
have been converted into long-term
mortgage loans carrying interest rates
Of to per cent c. year. This ac-
counts for most Of the saving. In

UNSTABLE BOOM FEARED
