The Chagrin Valley Hunt Club,

announces a last-minute change in
judges. Herbert Bertrand, who was

His assignment will be taken
by Maude Daniels Smith, equally

state funeral was arranged today for
Claude A. Swanson in the Senate
chamber, where he represented his
native Virginia for % years before
President Roosevelt made him secre-

Charles Edison, assistant secretary
of the navy, who automatically be-

that the services would be conduct
ed at l o. M Monday. Burial will be
in Hollywood cemetery, Richmond

President Roosevelt ordered ma

naval craft everywhere be lowered

Beginning at noon today, the guns

Swanson's death posed for the
President the problem of making an

REINFORCEMENT NEEDED

College Station, Raleigh, July g.
North Cardinals 1889 flue-cured to-
bacco crop unhampered by Federal
restrictions, is moving rapidly from
field to curing barn, Lloyd T. Weeks,
tobacco specialist of the State Col
lege Extension Service, said today.
On basis Of observations over
most of the producing areas, Weeks
estimated that this years leaf acre
age has been increased at least 20
percent or better over that of last
year. In some counties the percent
age has run considerably higher,
particularly in the Border Belt, while
IN other counties, notably in the Old
Belt, the acreage has not varied
much from that of 1888.
Curing began nearly a month ago
in some communities, and has speed
ed up steadily since then. Now,
most farmers in Eastern North Caro-
lima are putting their tobacco in the
barns.

Barden Seeks

Washington, July 8.-(AP)-Rep-
resentative Barden, Democrat, North
Carolina, worked today on amend
ments to the fair labor standards
law he expects to introduce, grant
ing wide exemption of agricultural
workers from the act regulating
wages and hours.
The Barden amendments were
said to incorporate features OF
changes in the law proposed by
Chairman Norton, Democrat, New
Jersey, of the House Labor Commit
tee, although going much further in
respect to agricultural workers.
An authoritative source said the
strategy to be employed in getting
the Barden amendments to the
House floor would be to have the
House Rules Committee grant a
right of way to the Norton amend
ments with provision that Barden's
proposals cGJild be offered as sub
stitute But no other amendments
could be proposed.
Such strategy would prevent at
tempts to offer further amendments

amendments.

In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, July 8.-Latest political
story to get something like general
circulation is to the general effect
that at least a considerable part OF
the back-slapping and .Well-Wishlng
going on round here for Willie smith,
Raleigh lawyer, is not altogether
sincere in certain respects.
For instance, it is said in many
quarters, many of those who are
urging MIR. Smith to get into the
gubernatorial swim are really not SO
much interested in seeing him win
as in helping to defeat j. M. Brough-
ton. another capital city barrister of
fame and renOWn.
Also rallying round Smith with
loud shouts of "sic 'em" are said to
be a group of Wake county chaps
who are at heart supporters of
Lieutenant Governor Wilkins p.
Horton, but who cannot afford open
lv to come out for an Out-Of-cOunty
candidate. They reason, according to
the gossip mongers, that Smith will
cut Broughton's throat while Brough
ton is doing the same cory thing to
Smith, with the Messrs. Smith and
Broughton adjoining the side lines
during the decisive heat.
None of this is official nor is it
dished up to you with even the hint
of a guarantee of its foundation Of
fact. It may all be so much political
hog wash, stopped around by sup
porters of Broughton in an effort to
discredit the Smith candidacy from
