Quite a number of the readers ff the Johnstonian-Sun are anxiously awaiting the publication of the lists of the names of all those who have received any of .the government flour which is being distributed by the Red Cross through the county welfare office. Well, maybe they will not have to wait very long, as H. V.. Rose has promised to furnish the list of names, and the editor of the Johnstonian-Sun has agreed to print them in that paper free of charge provided that the list .shall be fur- ni-hed in proper shape for publica- ' tion within 80 days from the date of last week’s issue of the paper, which date was August 25th. It will thus be seen that the 30- days time limit will expire-on September 24, 1932. This will give ample time to have the list gotten up in good shape. Some people have expressed a desire to see a complete list of both white and colored di-tributors. giving the 'name and post office of each of those who have been ap pointed, either by the chairman of the Red Cross or the superintendent of welfare, to' distribute the flour in ..various sections of the county.

Coming as it did right ,in the mid afternoon when old sol was blazing forth with such force, the moon’s shadow was a welcome visitor during tha:t s-sveltering pe- i Mr. Josiah Stancil of Kenly R. 1, j and his son, William H. Stancil, I were visitors in Smithfield last ' Monday. William H. Stancil, who has been in the aviation service for eleven years, was on his way from Hamstead, Long Island, N. Y., to Kansas City, Mo., and stopped off to attend the Stancil reunion which is held annually at the residence of G. I. Stancil; Kenly Route 2. He left Tuesday for Kansas City, via John.ston City, Tenn., and Louisville, Ky. He is in the employ of The Trans-Continental and Western Air Express Co. Governor Roosevelt and his Dem ocratic Lieutenants received a se vere jolt last Sunday, when -A1 Smith refused to dine with them. Ever since Roosevelt was nominated as the Democratic candidate for President, he has been doing every thing possible to get the support of A1 Smith and the whole Tammany organization. Last week they ar ranged a program that they evi dently thought would do the work. Major Frank Hague, of Jersey City, N. J., who is said to cooperate with the New York Tammany organiza tion, and who was a supporter of A1 Smith in the Chicago Democratic convention, had ’oeen inciuced to get on the Roosevelt band wagon, and he staged a big rally at Seagist, N. J., la.st Saturday and announced that Roosevelt would go down and m.ake a big liquor speech. They many thousands of dollars were no doubt spent in making preparation, and getting together the red-nosed liquor soaks and (Irunkards that hang out around New York and the numerous towns in New Jersey, in order to make a big show in both number and enthusiasm, in the hope of impre.ssing Smith to such an ex tent that he might be induced to join Hague on the Roosevelt band wagon. Then to put on the finish ing touch, as they thought, a big fea t was prepared la.st Sunday and an urgent invitation was sent to A1 Smith to be present and dine with Governor Roosevelt and about 200 Democratic leaders. This was done in the hope -of bringing irresistable pressure to bear on Smith and get him to promise to make at least one speech during the campaign and asking his friends to vote for Roose velt for Pre-ident. But after all their work and expense, they failed to land Smith. Instead of attending the Governor’s big Sunday dinner A1 Smith went over to Far Rock- away beach and dined with his son. The Democratic leaders had es timated .that one speech during the campaign from A1 Smith in favor of Franklin D. Roosevelt for President would enable them to save at least one million votes for the National Democratic -ticket that otherwise they think will be lost. Tt now looks like Roosevelt has lo-t that million of votes and that Hoover is there by one million votes nearer the goal. Largest House Best Organization "Experienced Management ' L. G.

JOHNSTON COUNTY SUNNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION SEP. 7 New Cotton From Old Stalks. (Clayton Neivs) Mrs. Martha Spence brought to The News office on Monday morn ing of thi.s week a hunch of cotttn .stalks that produced last summer, surviving the v/inter, and are pro ducing squares and bolls again this summer. These stalks were pulled from a patch of cotton on Mrs. Spence’s farm 'near Clayton.

Sales were lighter to day and quality lower, hut the mar ket wa.s unchanged. A writer whose letter appeared in the Public Pulse column of the Greensboro News a few days ago said:- While 1 have no financial in terest in the securing of the bonus, I have been and am now of the opinion that the ex- service certificates should have been anticipated, and my advo cacy of a bond is-ue to justify the two Billion two hundred million dollars, the amount re- ((uired to meet the payment has been bourne out by the fact that only last week, a treasury offering of 325 million dollars was over subscribed 12 times. The fact that this issue of Gov ernment ' securities was oversub- j scribed twelve times proves that President Hoover and his co-work- ers have preserved the credit and stability of our Government regard less of the effects of the depression, and that the people knowing it to he sound are not afraid to invest tli9^r money in its notes or bonds. If the Democrats had been allowed to have their way during the last j session of Congress it might have been different.
