Raleigh. July 10. -(AP-
Governor H0ey telcgraphcd from
Chicago today. urging again that
every producer" of tobacco vote
Saturday for three years OF con-
troll of the fiuc cured crop.
The governor is at the Demo
cratic national convention. His
telegram follows:
In these troubled times I con-
slider il vital that the tobacco
farmers of North Carolina stand
firm with their program for
preserving their business. l hope
that every producer will Con-
slider fully what it means to our
state to keep the bright tobacco
market a profitable market. and
that every producer will actively
support this effort by his vote for
the tnree-year program III The
referendum to be held Saturday.
l would regard it a calamity for
the tobacco growers to fail to
vote for control in this referer-
dunn. This has been on my mind
this week in Chicago during the
deliberations of the convention,
and l wish to take this oppor-
tunity to again emphasize the

Hutson Says
Farmers Will
Vote Control

Raleigh. July 18.-(AP)-J. B.
HutSon. assistant AAA administrator,
said today that he WAS confident that
fluc-curcd tobacco growers would
approve thrCe-ycar control Saturday.
HutSOn was Cnroutc to Yanccyvlll@
where he will speak. He is sche-
duicd to speak in LOuiSburg tonight.
Urging merchants, bankers and
other business men to take an active
part in encouraging farmers to vote,
fiutson said: North Cardinals 1910
crop Of tobacco totals about 458,0OO,-
OOC pounds. Every cent per pound
that the price of the 1910 crop can be
increased means more than $4,000, 0OO
to income of North Carolina this year.
"Thc government will be able to
protect prices of the 1910 crop at or
Slightly above the 1889 levels Of l4.9
cents per pound if growers approve
thrcc-ycar control Saturday.
IF only onc-ycar control Is voted,
domestic manufacturers have told
me they will buy less than if three
wear control is voted. and it is prob
able that with onc-year control the
price Of the 1910 crop will be to
3 cents below the l4.9 level. That WILL
mean S9.OOO,O00 to nearly Sl4,OOO.-
900 in lost income to North Carolina.

Bad on the Nerves

The natural question after that terri ble explosion in New Jersey Thursday afternoon is what caused it. And the first answer that might be expected to pop up would be - sabotage. Now, no one knows as yet what was the cause of the explosion, with it's toll of life and limb and its tremendous property dam age. But until the facts Substantiate it we have no just cause or reason for blam- ing the blast on outside sources.
 Nevertheless, there will be feeling throughout the United States henceforth that we are to be subjected to just such Fifth Column activities. We don't pre- sume that there will be any serious out break, but all good Americans should remain good Americans. We have proper agencies trained and equipped to handle all such occurrences as the New Jersey explosion and everyone can rest assured that investigations will be thor ough and relentless. Everyone wants the answer to tragedy like this.

Good Administrator

Resignation of Vincent J. Sullivan of Bridgeport as Connecticut WPA admin istrator can in no way be linked to the probe of WPA activities in this state which has just been started. Mr. Sulli- van in the comparatively short time that he has held his responsible post has proved himself capable, efficient, and far from politically inclined individual. His handling of the difficult situations that go with the job stamped him as both an executive and somewhat of a diplomat.
 It is to be hoped that no one tries to link his resignation with the probe of alleged irregularities. Appointed to the job in 1887 when Robert A. Hurley resigned to become State Public Works Commissioner MT. Sullivan soon proved himself worthy successor. The state, we think was quite fortunate that it had in succession at the head of the import ant WPA such men as MT. Sullivan and MT. Hurley. We hope that as equally an able successor can be found.

Design for War

In the midst of war, British architects are busy. They are designing the dwell lings of the next war, or of the later stages of this one if it lasts long enough. Houses are without windows because many bombings injuries are caused by flying glass. The bedrooms, which are in the center of the houses, are built as bomb shelters, the beds in cubicleS of resistent construction
 Town design is similarly affected. The houses are in rows along the pattern of the hedgerows. Most of them would have flat roofs covered with gray-green shaw ings. A few would be painted bright red. Thus, from plane, the town would look worth bombing. Dispatches don't men tion the matter, but one supposes that the red-roofed houses will rent for little less

Views Of The Press

2,388,389 bushels; the Chesapeake States. 7,459.767 bushels: the South Atlantic and Gulf States, 1922, ,678 bushels; and the Pacific States, 1,- 278,778 bushels.
 Connoisseurs may look forward to at least 17,000,0OO bushels of oysters this season: 1t promises to be a good one. It would be interesting, though useless no doubt, even though 1t were possible, to compute the tota, number of oysters so far consumed by man.
