Quakers to Fight
State Liquor Stores
Guilford Body Hear johnson ].
Hayes in 24Oth Annual
Meeting Session

GUILFORD COLLEGE, Aug. g.
Judge Johnson J. Hayes, of the
United States district court, Green's
boro, and Dr. w. c. Jackson, dean of
administration of Woman's college,
Greensboro, were featured visiting
speakers helping Quakers to carry
out the theme of Friends and HUI
man Relations" in today's gather
ings of the $40 tn annual North Car
DINA Yearly Meeting session at New
Garden westinghouse.
The legalized sale of liquor in
North Carolina was condemned in
no uncertain terms, plans were
made, for determined crusade
against the further extension of so
called "wet territory" and a cam
paign of temperance in wet counties
was projected at the morning ses-
sion. 'When referendums are call
ed" report read, "the Friends will
fight the ABC movement in every
way possible"
Public morals, inter-racial rela-
tions, capital punishment and NOV
ing pictures evoked much discus
sion in the most energetic session of
the entire meeting.
No Control, Says Hayes
Quoting figures from the federal
official reports, Judge Hayes point
ed out wherein the ABC stores fail
ed to place liquor under control,
failed to promote temperance and
failed to provide appreciable reve-
nue.. His talk on Liquor Control in
North Carolina" tonight at o'clock
was one of the outstanding adj
dresses of the week.
Animated discussion on the SUBJ
ject of liquor traffic developed i'm
mediately following the report of
the committee on prohibition, pub
lie morals and motion pictures. The
report indicated that Friends in
Contentnea quarter had been active
in keeping ABC stores out of Wayne
county, and pointed out efforts in
Guilford, Alamance and Yadkin
counties to prevent the calling of
referendum.
Condemnation of the practice of
selling of wines and beers in stores
and filling stations owned by
Friends was evidenced.
A particularly deplorable picture
was painted by discussion on con-
troll of liquor, Quakers taking def
mite stand against any form of at
tempt at control. The Society of
Friends opposes whisky in any form
and believes that regulation through
alcoholic beverages stores leads to
more moral disintegration than was
apparent in the old days of prohi-
bition. although the business has
taken on a mantle of responsibility,
alcohol is as disreputable as ever,
the report said. =,

Justice Van Devanter who retired
in the summer from the Supreme
court.
Without making any definite COM
mitment, Mr.. Roosevelt intimated to
his press conference that he expect
ed to nominate a successor before
Congress adjourned.
Seeking Harmony
Two developments of the week
indicated anew the desire of Demo
cratic leaders both in Congress and
out for the session to end on a note
of party harmony-the discord over
the Presidents Supreme court bill
forgotten.
Party Chairman James A. Farley
ascribed to Republican sources re-
ports there would be administration
vengeance on those who opposed
the Presidents court plan.
"Such talk" he said, "is a piece
of moonshine. This administration
is concerned with bringing back and
perpetuating prosperity. It has no
time for vendettas."
Democratic senators arranged a
stag party for next Tuesday night.
tt was announced at a dinner to
honor Senator Barley, of Ken
lucky, the new majority leader. But
it was no secret that party members
hoped it would help heal any
wounds remaining from the court
battle.

Morrison Wants
Farmers to Stock
With Pure BREEDS
Former Governor Says State Is
Raising Cash Crops and Is
Spending Elsewhere

Fill North Carolina with pure
bred cattle, swine and poultry and
check the shipments of meats, poul-
try and eggs into the State. North
Carolinians are raising nothing but
cash crops and then spending all the
money they make for food which
comes from other places, and for
commercial fertilizer to put under
cotton and tobacco.
Thus did Cameron Morrison form
er Governor and Senator, and now
private farmer and cattle breeder,
sum up the great need of North
Carolina agriculture in an address
before the annual summer meeting
of the Jersey Cattle Club held last
week at State College.
Mr.. Morrison urged the cattlemen
present to band together to adver-
tise their good animals so that the
State might establish a reputation
for it's herds. Partial to Jerseys, the
speaker said they would turn feed
into more dollars than any other
dairy breed. He said it was posi-
BILE for the State to become second
Isle of Jersey.
Farmers still form the great sta
bilizing influence in this country,
and if ever it needs to be saved
from decentralization and ruin, it
will be the stable, God-fearing
courageous people of the farms and
villages who will save it," Governor
Morrison declared.
He stated that another great need
of North Carolina at present is a
closely knit organization of franz
ers. They should organize for their
own well-being, he said, and then
they could secure anything that
they wanted.
Mr.. Morrison declared that farm
animals are needed in any well bal
anced program and that the produc-
ton of cash crops alone will never
make happy and prosperous coun-
tryside.

Compliance Work
in Conservation of
Soil Is Under Way
More Than 1900 Ashe Farms to
Be Mapped and Checked
by Regulations

The work of checking and map
ping more than 1900 farms in Ashe
county is getting under way. The
purpose is to obtain information in
regard to what each farmer has
done to earn payment.
Two types of payment are to be
made this year, both similar to
those made last year. One is known
as the diversion payment; the other,
the soil building payment.
The men who will visit the farms
for the desired information are call
ed field supervisors. When a super
visor visits farm it is expected
that the operator of the farm be
there to help him, or to have rep
resentative there who knows the
farm as well as the operator.
Every effort is being made to
help farmers secure as large pay
ments as is possible under the pro-
visions of the program. Approx
mately $4,000 was paid farmers
under the 1886 program. It is hoped
that this amount will be even larg-
er under the 1887 program.

The bill to alter procedure in the
lower courts won the final O. K
this week of the Senate, which ap-
peared glad to get rid of the six
month controversy about the judi
ciary.
The legislation, mere shell Of the
original court revamping proposals
of President Roosevelt, was en-
bodied in a conference report sign
ed Tuesday by House and Senate
conferees. Only the routine approx
al of the House is necessary before
the bill goes to the White House.

Farm, Home Week
Highly Successful

Highly successful" commented
State College Extension Service Of
ficials when the 1887 edition of
Farm and Home Week closed last
Saturday.
Smashing all previous attendance
records, nearly 1000 farmers and
farm women registered for the 34th
annual convention, held each sum-
mer at State College. So large was
the crowd that the overflow had to
be accommodated at Meredith Col
lege. Hundreds of others committed
between their homes and the col
lege or spent only one day at the
convention.
Speeches, class work, sightseeing,
receptions, community singing, dem
onstrations, and recreation occupied
the delegates time from arising in
the morning until bedtime.
Prominent political leaders and
outstanding agriculturists were
scheduled on the program. Included
in the last were Governor Hoey,
Congressman Harold Cooley, Assist
ant AAA Administrator J. B. Hut
son, Assistant Secretary of Agricul-
ture Harry L. Brown, and others.
Separate programs were arranged
for men and women However, joint
programs were held during the
mornings and at the evening exer-
cises.
Guests of Mrs. Hoey, the farm
women were entertained at a re-
ception one day in the Governors
mansion. For nearly all of the wom-
en-, this was their first visit inside
the doors of North Cardinals No.
citizen.
Displays spread out over the cam
pus attracted much attention dur
ing the five-day program as the
delegates viewed pictorial and actu-
al presentment of approved farm
ing and homemaking practices.
Heading this years Farmers and
Farm Women's Convention was C..
G. McKoin, superintendent of the
Mills Home farm at brownsville.
Mrs: Hubert Boney, prominent Dup
lin County farm woman, was presi-
dent of the North Carolina Fedora
ton of Home Demonstration Clubs.

Parkway Assured Of
Enough Money for
Completion In State
Representative Doughton Leads
Group in Fighting for
Appropriation
MEASURE ALLOWS S4,5oO,OOO

The Blue Ridge parkway and the
Smoky Mountains National park re-
eived a big shove toward compile
ton today when the President sign
ed the Interior department appro-
priation bill.
The measure carries a fund of
$4,500,000 to be expended on the
Blue Ridge parkway and brings in
to view completion of the project
within the next two or three years.
Maintenance work on the Smoky
Mountains National park is assured
with $4,000 of the interior bill to
be spent in maintaining and improv-
ing the park. The park will also be
given portion of the $2,50O,0OO
fund for the cutting of roadways
and trails in national parks. Mem
bers of the North Carolina delega-
ton would not estimate how much
of the $2,5O0,000 would be allotted
the Smoky Mountains National
park.
DOughtOn Leads
The Presidents action bears fruit
to the battle the North Carolina del
egation has waged since May /,
when the interior bill began its slow
course to enactment. The appropria-
tons subcommittee handed the del
egation a blow when it reduced the
figure for the Blue Ridge parkway,
but under the leadership of Repre-
sentative Robert L Doughton, dean
of the North Carolina delegation,
the group pushed an amendment
through the House giving the pro-
ject a $4,500,O00 fund. The figure
was approved by the Senate and
was spared the pruning knife of the
conferees of the House and Senate.
