In an exhaustive analysis Of crop

the greater crop production this year
ought to be somewhat offset by

Usual Spirit of Opti-
mism Prevails Among
Growers and Ware
housemen as to Price
Prospects; Tar Heel
Growers Meet on Fri
day.

Florence, S. c., Aug. 2.-(AP)-
Thousands Of farmers who brought
huge loads Of tobacco flooded the 16
Border Belt market towns today on
the eve of the official opening of the
1899 auction seasons.
The usual spirit of optimism pre-
vailed among growers, and ware
housemen said offerings, which have
been pAing up since Monday, might
cause blocked sales at several points.
The farmers believed that their
weed would bring higher prices than
those in Georgia, where farmers have
looked for private and public aid to
raise prices.
''Fair prices or 'better prices
than Georgia" was the general pre-
diction. Growers pointed to the fact
that virtually all offerings would be
graded and tied this year as a factor
to produce better prices.
Quality of the crop in the Border
Belt is fair, but very light in weight,
Warehousemen said.
Additional warehouses have been
built throughout the belt, and ali
market belt centers were prepared
for the heaviest sales in history.
Border Belt market towns are
Fairmont, Lumbertor Whiteville
Chadbourn, Tabor City, Fair Bluff
and Clarkton, in North Carolina.

(ContinueC from Page One) TOT the 1929 crash, or as close to it as possible, without taking away newly won rights of labor and agri- culture.
 The keynote of the administration was sounded long before the new Congress came to town. It was per- haps best expressed by the Presi- dent when he addressed the open ing session of the last session of Congress a year ago.
 ''In world of high tension and disorder, in a world where stable civilization is actually threatened, ' he said, it becomes the responsib- ility of each nation which strives for peace at home and peace with and among other nations, to be strong enough to insure the obser- vance of those fundamentals of peaceful solution of conflicts which are the only ultimate basis for order ly existence.
 "Resolute in our determination to respect the rights of others, to command respect for the rights of ourselves, we must keep ourselves adequately strong in defense. :"
 After that statement was made, Congress voted a billion dollars for defense last year This year the ad- ministration apparently wants more.
 Martin Speaks
 Now, listen to the recent plea for the good old days" from Joe Martin, the new minority leader in the house for the Republicans:
 out Of the November election. ? said Martin, there came at least one clear mandate: The people want the 18th Congress to be a real legis- lative body-an independent Con- gress which will do it's own think ing, and will put the welfare of the country ahead of the selfish aspira- tions of individuals or parties.
 With law by fiat fIourishing in many lands, with personal liberty becoming daily more precious, there is genuine opposition to the concen- tration of government either in per- sonalities or bureaus.
 The call today is clear. It is to dedicate our first efforts to provide real jobs at real American wages for more than 10 million unemploy-

Billy Fowler Wins
Auxiliary Contest

The poem printed below was fea-
tured on the winning poster in the
recent poppy poster contest, con-
Quoted by the American Legion
Auxiliary in connection with "Pop-
py Day." The prize, a $3.50 check
from the local Auxiliary, was won
by Billy Fowler, 1O-year old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. NJ S. Fowler.
The poster will be taken to the
State Legion Auxiliary meeting in
Raleigh June 1927, where it will be
judged.
The poem, written by Billy him
self, is as follows:
Poppies, Poppies, growing over the
plains
And red, red blossoms they yield
In memory of the ones who died
Out on the battle field.
Poppies, poppies, growing over the
plains,
Where the soldiers of the war still
lie.
And the men who wanted to save
their land
Went over to win or die.
FEBH %~
PoppieS, poppies, growing over the
plains
Where the ones we loved so dear,
Make us look back into the world
war times
And bring back many a tear.
Poppies, Poppies, growing over the
plains.
Tell of the much blood shed
Of the boys who left to go to France
And still are lying dead.
So remember the boys who left
their homes
And went to France to war.
And the boys that fought as well as
they could
lBut never returned to our shore.

OUR BIRD FRIENDS.

We hear OF our state as being and
we like to think OF it as the balanced
state. Too often we are guilty of the
sin OF prOcrastinatiOn in regard to our
natural resources and consequently
our much desired assets are taken
from us
The wild birds of our state have
been a treasure that we have failed
to appreciate fully; or at least our
actions would indicate same. We
have taken too much for granted and
as a result we have been the loser
The wild turkey and quail have
made their exit in many sections of
North Carolina and this can and will
happen to others of our feathered
friends. Most types of birds should
be considered our friends when we
think OF the great economic value
they are as destroyers of many in
furious insects to growing crops of
our farmers, the aesthetic value
about our houses and parks. We Won
der why any Individual would not
be interested in their welfare. In
most cases l believe they would
should they have any understanding
Of the needs Of our friends the birds.
These friends do not speak the Eng
lish language, It's true; but they can
and do speak to all who have ears
to hear
They speak to the bird clubs of
our schools, Boy Scout, Girl Scout
and similar organizations; as they lis
ten they hear them say: eve thank
you good people for your interest in
our welfare as you study our needs.
We do need cover and protection.
We do need food in order to live and
all you do in securing these for us,
we will ever be ready to sing for you
and protect you from injurious in
sects that will cost you great sums
of money as well as life; but regard
less of your interest or wherever you
are we are your friends and will car
ry on as best we can"

Safe Sabbath

Charlotte, June 3.-Citizens of the
two Carolinas are being urged to
participate in the fourth annual
Safety Sabbath" sponsored by the
Carolina Motor Club in an effort
to reduce highway accidents, which
will be observed throughout the two
states Sunday, July 2.
ministers, the press, radio, pub
lie officials and civic organizations
are expected to exert powerful in
fluence in molding public sentiment
against careless and reckless driv-
ing at all times and the observance
of Safety Sabbath has been es-
pecially before Independence Day
in hope that the holiday. death and
accident toll of 1888 will be ma
terially lowered" Coleman w. Rob-
erts, president of the motor club,
stated today
'Last Year ATS people were killed
and :over 10000 injured throughout
the nation on July 4. In the Caro-
linas, "a lost their lives, 10 dying
as result of automobile accidents.
Lack of caution and regard for the
'other fellow were the principal
causes of the fatalities"
Suggestions for Safety Sabbath
programs, research data and safety
facts have been compiled by A. M.
Higgins, safety director of the Caro-
lima Motor Club, ana are available
to all interested parties. Mr.. Hug
gins anticipates unusual coopera-
ton from public spirited citizens
and has homes that the CarO1inaS will
show great improvement this year
"In Is years of war there were
244,357 casualties compared with
441,912 traffic deaths in Is years
of peace" Mr.. Higgins points out.
"In war, soldiers die for a purpose
but what purpose can there be in
killing hundreds of thousands on the
highways of our peaceful country?
This slaughter is worse than war
and public sentiment is the most
rapid and sure way of curbing this
disgraceful condition"

ed on many Rotary programs, used

Sibility Of the Individual toward the
church.

cluded with singing by the group of
number of songs, with Mr.. Hard
ing's Well-knoWn accordian as ac-
compartment.
