The best laugh Raleigh American

time came at the posts meeting this
week.
Robert Mcmillan, red-headed son
leigh lawyer, was reporting on

tone he told a good one on Thad

Before he started talking we
didn't know anything about what
the secretary of state does; but
when he finished we found out that
ne does everything"
Robert the Red also drew laugh
ter and applause when, in talking
of Albert Coats, Institute of Gov

of the present crop of "unan-

"Charlie Johnson ought to have
run for governor, said Mr. McGoo-
gan. HE could have won if the
rest of the State is anything like
Hoke."
He gave Lee Gravely, of Rocky
Mount, an edge over any one of
the five men who are being gen.
orally invited around as candidates

Then from the eighth there are
rumors that all hands who ran
last time--and there were some half
dozen or only slightly few, will
run against next year for w. o.
Burgin'S seat.
But at least one of them, George
Ross, doesn't sound a bit like it
when talked to. And it's said that
c. B. Deane, who engaged in so
prolonged a legal fight with Bur-
gin last year after the primary, has
had enough and won't try again.
But the gossips are adding Pat
Taylor, of Arson, to the runners,
if he doesn't decide to 60 after

has been lost.
"One can respect an honest differ

ton that has gone down the line,
measure for measure, against the

with them you will also find men

Instead Of devoting their time to

From the standpoint of the entire
country, the Importance of this pro-
gram canont be overemphasized The
retention of the export market for
cotton is necessary if we are to avoid
painful and costly adjustments in
the South and elsewhere.
Mr.. Wallace said that until action
was taken to prevent the re-entry
into the United States of cotton ex-
ported under the program, payments

Committee to speed action on a
pending bill which would make 1t
possible to put up the traits more
quickly. In presenting the problem
to the President, Mr.. Wallace was
acting in accordance with section %
of the original Agricultural Adjust
ment Act That law requires that
the study precede the imposition of
the duty.
Difficulty in Offering Loans.
Other countries may be assured"
Secretary Wallace said in a state
ment accompanying the subsidy
schedule, that this country has no
intention of precipitating mutually
injurious price competition in the
world cotton market. The United
States has no intention of seeking
more than its fair share of cotton
exports as measured by the tradi-
tional position which this country
has occupied in the cotton markets
Of the world
The especial difficulty in which
Secretary Wallace found himself
with regard to cotton exports was
that his policy OF offering loans to
growers to raise the domestic price
resulted in the Governments as
Stunning trusteeship OF 100000
bales, turned over as loan collateral.
These ll.0OO 900 bales are in ware
houses. Foreign buyers have been
unable to get the cotton they want
here because it is warehoused. The
problem was to develop some way of
retaining the loan, which Mr.. WAL
lace has announced he intends to
do. and promoting foreign sales.
The subsidy provides an attrac-
ton to the cotton grower for foreign
selling as we'll as seeking Govern
ment loans-that is the depart
ment's hope. Secretary Wallace
said:
The rate of payment has been
established at point which will
offset existing price disparities and
Is hoped that this rate will maintain
our competitive position through
out the season. In my opinion. there
is more likelihood that the rate will
be decreased than there Is that it
Will be increased. 1 hope We can
avoid any changes in the rate. A
change will be made only if it is
essential to the success of the pro-
gram"

Thomas Overton, the Senator's
father, likewise was lawyer and
State judge. After the Senator had
been graduated from L. S. U. and
from the Agricultural and Me-
chanical College at Baton Rouge
in 1895, he decided to follow his
ancestors in the legal profession, and
received his law degree from Tu-
lane in 1897.
In his college days he excelled at
swimming, which prompted him to
try crossing the Mississippi, despite
high water. incidentally, he spon-
sored legislation in 1886 which au-
thorized a comprehensive $272 000,-
600 tlood-control program for the
Lower Mississippi Valley, which is
now nearing completion. Only the

Overton turns to quail and duck

part in State campaigns, but did not
seek elective Office until 1881, when
he came to the House of Representa-

term. In 1924 he had been offered
the support of all factions for
Governor, but declined to run.
The following year he was nomi-
mated for the Senate by a majority
of 900 and elected without opposi-

three committees had investigated

Locals Will be Out to Avenge
81 to IA Defeat Suffered
at Hibbing Last Year.

Ely football fans will be given their
first peek at the 1889 high school team,
Saturday afternoon, when the local
pigskin luggers open the season with
Hibbing. Set for 2:30 o'clock, the game
will be one of the feature sport at
fractions of the season.
Wrangling in the minds of team
members is that 51-14 setback that the
Bluejackets handed an inexperienced,
green Ely club in the initial game of
the season at Hibbing year ago, but
there won't be repetition of that
size score if Coach Smrekar'S boys
can do anything about it.
Five of the boys in the starting lineup
at Hibbing year ago will be on deck
for the opening whistle, Saturday after
noon. Eleven reserves from the 1888
club, most of whom witnessed the Hib-
bing setback from the bench are regu-
lars on the 1889 eleven. That's more
veteran material than Saturdays visi-
tors can produce.
Seven lettermen, two of them regu-
lars, were among the so candidates who
reported to Coach Chet McGraw at the
opening of practice in the Iron Ore
capital Both of the regulars are po-
tent ball handlers, however.

Hunters Island.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cottingham Allen and
Mr.. and Mrs. Kelsey Deveraux of Cleve-

Leaving the party at the spot, Art
Lindy travelled by canoe to Ely for aid.
Arriving here, he secured the services of
DR.. o. E. Snyker and they were flown to
the sick woman in plane piloted by
William Leithold. An emergency per-
nit to make the trip was obtained
from Canadian and United States Gus
toms officials.
Mrs. Allen was taken directly by plane
to Duluth, where after consultation with
physicians, she left for Rochester Her
illness was described as an abdominal
ailment. O.
After the sick woman had been put
