me anywhere and stayed out to all
hours Of the night. am almost sure
he had an affair with q girl, though
he denies it. I went back to my
mother with my child, but even
though I have a part time Job I am
unable to make ends meet. Do
you think that should forget how
my husband mistreated me and give

loves his father very much, as I once
did, but something died in my heart
that I feel can never come to life

Scott Thinks
Farmers For
Crop Control
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In The Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh. Sept. ia clear major
ity of North Carolina farmers are in
favor of crop-particularly tobacco
control, in the opinion of w. Kerr
Scott, State Commissioner of Agri-
culture.
In order to keep this majority in
tact. however, administration of con-
troll laws should be fully explained to
the farmers, he told this bureau, in
order that growers shall have COM
plete confidence in the honesty and
integrity of the machinery.
"I don't mean that the present adj
ministration of control laws isn't
honest or just, he said, II mean that
the entire system should be explained
to growers so that they can know
just what's going on and how it's be-
ing done.
"Most complaints about control, 50
far as l can learn, come from dis
satisfaction of individuals with indi-
vidual allotments-not from any OBJ
lection to the principle of control" he
continued. "A fellow sees his neigh
Dor get bigger allotment than he
does. doesn't know how or why that
is so and begins to grumble about it."

it's attempt to defeat Senator Tydings

voters gave clearcut majorities to
Governor Lewis Barrows and Repre-

and Ralph Brewster. They had done
the same thing in 1896, when the
State was one Of the two which Presi-

Although New Dealers had held
some hope Of winning at least one of
the main offices, they were disheart-
ened principally by the growing lead
of Senator Tydings in the Maryland
Democratic primary.
The 48-year-old SENATOR whom Mr..
Roosevelt had denounced as a "be-
trayer" of the New Deal, was running
ahead of Representative David Lewis
