Raleigh, Aug. 11.-(AP)-The State

Roosevelt Renews Appeal
For Upbulding OF South
Makes No Mention in Speech at Athens of SEN
atorial Contest, in Which He Endorsed Oppon-
ent of Senator George in Warm Springs
Statement

Athens, Ca, Aug. 11.-(AP)-Presi-
dent Roosevelt re-asserted today his
desire to raise purchasing power in
the South.
Speaking at the University of Geor-
gia stadium, he received an honorary
doctor of laws degree from Chancellor
Sanford of the University system of
Georgia.
The chief executive was introduced
by Governor Rivers, who with Law
renee Camp conferred with Mr..
Roosevelt at Warm Springs yester-
day. Mr.. Roosevelt, in a brief talk at
the Warm Springs Foundation, at
that time, gave Camp a straightout
endorsement in his race for the Dem
ocratic senatorial nomination.
Camp, Federal district attorney, is
among the opponents of Senator Wal
ter George, who is seeking renomina-
ton. Mr.. Roosevelt did not mention
Camp nor George in his talk today.

Raleigh, Aug. 11.-As usual, Chair
man w. A. Lucas and other members
of the State Board of Elections are
not breaking into the public prints
with loud assertions of what they are
or are not going to do, but it seems
reasonably certain that they have NO
idea of presenting any specific recon-
mendations regarding the States cleo
ton laws, their reform or modifica-
tion at this time.
On the other hand, it is just as GER
tain that along about December the
board is going to report to the COVER
nor and the 1889 General Assembly
just what it thinks should be done
about those laws.
Considering what the board has just
gone through and what it has learned
about operation of the absentee bal
lot law, it might seem sure that it will
recommend complete repeal of the
provisions permitting voters to gel
their ballots counted without going in
person to the polls, but such an as
sumption would be premature ant
perhaps incorrect.

Dark Tobacco Is

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. n.-(AP}
Growers of dark tobacco in mid
die Tennessee and southern Ken
lucky faced the loss of millions of
dollars because of plant disease
brought on by excessive rains.

Tennesseean, estimates of the dam
age already incurred varied from
40 to IS percent of a normal crop
grown under favorable conditions.
Growers at GAINESVILLE, Tenn, a
big dark tobacco center, said that.
while recent fair weather had
checked the spread of black fire
and wild fire, damage running
from 40 to SO percent had been
done in recent weeks.
