Conn, Pastor
Meet Tonight

New Yorg, Aug. 13.-(AP)-
With a September shot at Joe Louis,
as the somewhat painful reward.
Billy Conn and Bob Pastor fight it
out in the Polo Grounds at 8 p. m.
(EST) tonight in a battle bringing
together the two best boxers among
the "big"fcllows in the ring today.
AS fight, it figures to be the
classiest exhibition Of ring science
since Tommy Loughran and Jimmy
Slattery Wagcd their l5-round duel
IS years ago, but the cash customers
aren't taking to it. Most optimistic
estimates are that 10000 will con-
tribute to a gross gate Of $4,000.
Conn Favored
Although Pastor went II ROUNDS
with Louis before the Bomber's
depth charges exploded on him, the
betting fraternity has made the
light-heavyWeight champion from
Pittsburgh. the favorite. The odds,
however, have nose-dived steadily,
and Billy the Kid probably won't
20 into the ring at better than to
6, with even money a possibility.

At
High School
Await Call

Henderson high school gridderS are
anXiously awaiting the call for work,
and the day Of reckoning is not far
distant for those who seek berthS on
the 1910 edition Of the Bulldog eleV-
en-.
Bing Miller, director of physical edu-
cation, is likely to give Fred Kilpat-
rick free hand in directing the
destiny of the Bulldogs this year.
Fitzpatrick assisted Miller last sea-
son, the first year the new coach was
in Henderson.
Graduation made inroads on the
grid ranks at the local school, but
some pretty good ball players will be
back this season. Several reserves
are expected to come through.
Fitzpatrick expects to give ample
notice of the initial drills.

Straw Polls
Are Opposed
Continued From Faye Ouel

or eight years ago.
It also is quite understandable why
Republicans are finding no fault with
straw polling under existing circum-
stances.
Were Doc Gailup's returns pro-
Rooseveltian and anti-WlIlklelte, un-
uuestonably the Democrats would be
perfectly contented, with Republicans
bowling that such prediction polls
ought to be prohibited or at least
strictly regulated.
Rather Contradictory.
The compliments are rather con-
Trajectory with their arguments.
On the one hand they pooh-pooh
the experimental polls as absolutely
meaningless and cite the case Of d
periodical which engineered one be-
fore Doc Gallup's day, went wholly
wrong in its conclusions and made
itself so ridiculous that it never re-
covered from it.
On the opposite hand they assert
that the polls do influence the voters,
influence them improperly and that
they shouldn't be permitted, unless
carefully supervised, anyway.
They don't outright charge that
the poll managers manipulate their
figures unfairly, but they contend
that they can, if they choose to-
Somehow, say the kickerS, this needs
to be guarded against
Provided the Democrats win in
November maybe they'll pass law
on the subject.
The Republicans won't if they win
though. They'll reckon that straw
polling this time was a help to them
and they'll want it kept up-unti
some occasion when it flops over tho
other Way-and they get the WorS
of it.
Compulsory Voting.
There are, by the way, some fun
nv things about voting in regular
, elections.
. Several of our states have law:
denying the franchise to citizens who
haven't paid quite stiff poll tax
There's considerable talk to the eff
feet that this system is to proven
poor folk. who can't foot the pol
i tax bill, from voting at all. Perhaps
! it's true.
! But in the Argentine republic they
have a law making it a punishable
orfense for citizen to fail to cas-
his ballot on election day.
When l first went to Argentina
thought this was silly statute. Il
. citizen" T said to myself, "haSn'
sufficient interest in his government
to vote, it certainly can't be possible
to arouse his interest by penallZlni
him for not having any.
But one day an Argentine lrlent
explained it to me.
"Once on a time" he related, "ou
big employers told their workers hoy
to vote and had watchers at the poll
to see that they voted accordingly

The ten which are completely
without protection are Tyrrell, Cur

uuimans, Chowan, Gates, Hyde, Pam
leo and Carteret Many Of them have
indicated a willingness to join the

One-third of the four million acres
of woodland in the % coastal coun-
ties included in the survey is with
out protection, while growing stock

There are also large acres OF de-
nuded pond pine land. These unfa-
vorable aspects Of the situation war,

ADMINISTRATION of forest fire

of organized protection to the ten

ratio OF representation

preScniatif 6. and 50 on progressive
ly. and then the remaining represent
tativcS shall be assigned severally to
the counties having the largest frac-
tiGn.'
Applying this rule from there on
was easy enough. Nine Of the extra
seats went TO counties containing two
or three times the required ratio.
(BuncOmbC ,. Forsyth 3, Castor 2,
'GuiIrord 3, MeckIcnburg 3, and
Wake p: and then on examination
Of the fractions was made. The cOuln-
ties qualified with the biggest re-
maindcrs thus Durham 1896; Robe
son 36,568: Guilford 1901: Rowan
29.8l0; Mecklenburg 29.074: Wake
28889; Buncombc 28.l70: Johnston
23.364: Pitt 20.998: CabarruS 10, 1903;
and Wayne, last TO get an extra seat,
l8,O25.
Just left out in the cold were
Cleveland 1879. Rockingham IT,
CTS and Alamancc 1927. Should
there by any Substantial change in
any Of these counties on revision in
Washington, there exists the posi-
bility that one Of the three could
nose out Wayne for an extra scat.
And so, if the General Assembly
can ever bring Itself TO the point of
following the Constitution, the House
Of Representative Of l943 will show
the following counties with more
than one seat:
Guilford and MeckIenburg 4 Bum
combe, Forsyth and Wake 3; Cabar-
rus, Durham, CASTOR, Johnston, Pitt,
Robson, Rowan and Wayne, 2.
The others will. of course, have one
each-the Constitution specifically
provides that every county shall have
at least one of the fixed total OF 40
seats; leaving the extra 20 for dl-
vision on {; basis Of population.
Some proponents of reapportlon-
ment profess TO see an even tougher
fight ahead than they had previously
anticipated. They point out that the
change from the 1896 figures (Ca-
barrus 10 gain a seat, Halifax to lose
Onc) acccntuatcS the east against
west angle, which has been one of the
stumbling blocks in The path of
new deal in the House.
On the other hand there is dis
tinct impression that the legislators
will not dare again flout the states
basic law.
As far as the House angle is con-
cerned, everything is simple enough.
There's no disputlng the mathematics
of the case.
It's in the Senate where the real
trouble lies. The Constitution leaves
some lceway there, and it has been
quite impossible to get the General
Assembly together on re-dlstrlctIng
But that's another matter and Will
be treated in another story from this
bureau.

force of the State Board of Health
and the fo~rty-seven .full-time county
health departments of the state are
arraigned. The remedy is not only
immunizations, "shots," x-rays. 1t
does not always come from the "little
black bag" of the practicing ply
sicians who give generously Of their
services to needy people.
Often the solution lies in personal
service-in a friendly visit by some
member of the health department, in
demonstration, in the creation of a
desire for positive, radiant health
before disease gets a strangle hold.
The solution must always 60 hand
in hand with education.
For all these purposes, the full
time county health departments \ :
constantly on the job. To prevent the
gaspingly narrow escapes, they are
e~ternally vigilant.
1t is felt that all the people in the
state want and need the protection
of full-time county health depart
ments. 1t is believed that before many
years elapse all eighty-two counties
in Mississippi will demarN the life
saving services these departments
afford.

More Seedlings Moy Be
Needed To Fill Orders

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 4.-Forest
tree seeding prices probably will be
raised in event that orders exceed
the trees now available at the Mis-
sissippi forestry Commission Nur-
sery near Mt. Olive, according to
State Forester Fred B. Merrill. He
has endeavored to locate surplus
seedlings from other states and has
found at least a million shortleaf
pine trees at an Sos nursery in
Missouri and apparently can get sew
eral hundred thousand black locust
seedlings from State Forester J. O.
Hazard, Nashville, Tennessee. Both
of these agencies are asking $500
per thousand, fob. their respective
nurseries, which is so cents per thou
sand more than the Mississippi iprice.
However, Mr.. Merrill says that with
the present AAA payment at $3.50
per thousand, farmers will not lose
any money even at the higher price.

gin can take wet cotton and give
you a good smooth sample unless it
has a drying device. Many of our
gins do not have dryers.
Yu have devoted your years work
and a great deal of expense in max
ing this crop of cotton, now to take
it to a gin in wet condition and
have it improperly ginned seems fool
ish. From five to ten dollars per bale
is often lost by having cotton ginned
before it is properly prepared.
Cotton may be dried by leaving it
stored for a few days IT by placing
it in the sun on a tarpaulin.
