FARLEY FAILURE
HURTS MARKET
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Sept. II d.N.s).
The stock market today lost most
of the ground gained in yester-
days late runup as the hoped-for
compromise agreement on rail
road wages failed to result from
the joint Chicago conference be-
tween the unions and the carrier
representatives.
The rails fell / to more than
2 points. Atchison, Southern Pa
cific, C. & OF and Union Pacific
were the large losers. N. Y. Cen
trail was active.
Steel shares suffered losses run
ming to more than 2 points in
U. S. Steel before support brought
q firmer tendency. U. S. Steel and
Bethlehem started a point lower
each.
CopperS continued to show pro
nounced weakness as group, re
flecting unfavorable August stats
tics on stocks and consumption
American Smelling, Anaconda
and Kennecott lost 2 points and
more each.
Elsewhere a heavy tone pre-
vailed. Westinghouse fe II 3
Amusements were down, Loew's

methods of fair dealing.
Westinghouse know that both Ross

watches, and other jeweIry gifts on con-
venient credit terms without paying one
penny extra for the privilege.

Ross renders is the finest and most out

Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1937-10-29
Stocks Gyrate But People
n South Attend Business
With Wall Street Far Off

to be read by him who ran. Tn tho
first place, il was clear from convar-
sations with various people and st,,dv
of wide range of local newsoanors
that people out in the country are not
interested in nor disturbed hv tbo
stock markets gymnastics. Mavba
they should be.
But perhaps it is useful to record
once again tho fact often ignored in
washington that people are Interested
IN their own affairs, which generally
concern the state of this years crop.
or the amount of work they will have
in the factory, or what Susie is doing
IN high school, or what there will be
for supper.
Now quite possibly all these things
will be affected, one way or another,
y the stock. markets fluctuations.
Possibly the people we saw peacefully
going about their affairs in Virginia
or Tennessee or North Carolina are
puppets, controlled by unseen strings
from Wall Street. But this seems a
hopelessly depressing conclusion. It
would he hotly repudiated by the
sturdy Americans we saw in the
Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1937-10-29

mountain counties we have just visit
ed. 10 the contrary, they seemed to
be working out their destinies in this
autumn of 1887 in a thoroughly in
dependent and American manner.
1t Has Been a Good Year.
First, it should be recorded that
just as was to be seen a few weeks
earlier on the trip to the Pacific coast
and back-erops are very good almost
everywhere. The apples in the Shenan-
doah Valley are red and juicy and
heavy; the corn that fattens hogs and
beef cattle in the hills of Virginia and
eastern Tennessee is thick in the
shock and the cattle walk in green
pastures; the cotton that grows from
the foothills of the Great Smokes in
North Carolina all across to the
coastal plains Ohe country we traver-
sed) is more abundant than at almost
any time in recent years; the tobacco
harvest along the Carolina sand plains
is big; the peanuts down around AL
bemarle Sound and up to Norfolk
stand drying in the tall shocks; the
vans of eastern North Carolina are
put up in fresh new tubs and tempt
purchasers along the highways with
their fat, ruddy CLEANS; in short, it
has been a good year.
The towns and cities appear to
thrive IN reflected prosperity. We
were told that most of the factories
are still working good hours, and we
saw the lights of many a night shift.
In the southern towns, we saw many
new, cleaning misunderstanding, fur
niture, metallurgical and so on
where with cheap electric power,
abundant labor, an adjacent source
of many raw materials, and up-to-the-
minute machinery and plant, a power
full challenge is being given to other
manufa curing districts. But that is
competition It is up to the other dis
tricts to show as active an initiative,
and to discover and promote their
own specialties.
The parts of the South that we
traversed seemed filled with new life
and vigor. Never had we seen so many
painted buildings in region which
once was notable for it's picturesque
disregard of pigments and oils. Par
ticularly striking were the new homes
fine bungalows, some in wood some
in brick, some in stucco, some in
stone-that line the highways of the
new Mid-SOuth.
Just as nice were the flowers and
shrubs around these new or newly
furnished homes. And even more en-
couraging, Though rarer, were the
kitchen gardens occasionally to be
seen behind or beside the homes, and
the incidental COW grazing alongside.
If it is true that the South is learning
to diversity It's agriculture and raise
more dairy products, then it is an
event to record in the news-of-the-
year.

tivisn can do for the South.
But behind the impressive dam, I'M
der the gray shinel5s and stone of
the model town, were the questions.
What is the future of this govern
hent-operated enterprise? What will
the courts say in the cases of pri-
vate power companies versus the
Government? What will the people
ultimately decide as to the future of
government in the business of max
ing and distributing power and build
ing electrical communities? And the
massive masonry held no answer.
Never before has this correspondent
got such a sense of modernity and
awakening in the South as came in
this autumn week. True, he did not
penetrate the Deep South, and per-
haps eastern Tennessee and North
Carolina and western Virginia are
border areas. There has always tend
ed to be more paint here. But making
all allowances, it must still be con-
cluded that here is thriving twentieth
century progress; here are alert
Americans; here are a fine racial
stock and spreading education and
culture; herein shorts not only
promise but steadily spreading full
fillment.

magnificent highways, freshly widen

we visited Norris Dam again, this
time without benefit of any presi-
dental PARTY, and found it a master
piece of sleek, modernistic precision,
rather like the Queen Mary or a giant
airliner, displayed to the public with
all the New Deals showmanship.
That is to say, there were nicely
handicapped parking spots, vantage
points, provided so that the lazy
