LARGEST AND BEST LIGHTED WAREHOUSE IN THE STATE LEADERS SINCE 1904 Blalock To Discuss Outlook For Ck)tton Co-Op Members Are Pleased With Checks Raleigh, Aug. 15.—Letters re ceived here indicate that members are well pleased with the settle ment they recently received from the North Carolina Cotton Growers Cooperative Association on 1931 seasonal pool cotton. Checks totalling $166,000 were re cently mailed members by the a?v sociation and the money is serving the farmers in good stead as they go about harvesting their 1932 crops. This $166,000 settlement was sup plementary to the liberal advance paid members when they delivered their cotton. A good income from his grape vineyard from which the fruit is sold in small baskets' is reported by Fred Pyronel, Waldensian farm er in Burke County. Raleigh, Aug. 15.—“The Outlook for 'Cotton for the 1932 Season from a price, production and con sumption standpoint” will be dis cussed by U. Benton Blalock, presi dent of the American Cotton Coop erative Association, at a “cotton meeting” at State College Septem ber 1st, in connection with the 30th annual State Farmers’ Convention. Following his talk the meeting will be thrown open for questions and more or less of a round table discussion of the 1932 cotton out look. Pre-s releases from the college state that two or three thousand farmers and farm women ai*e ex pected to attend the convention, which will be held August 29th to September 2nd. Corn grown after lespedeza turned under has not fired nor suff ered severely from the prolonged drouth, reports^ H. E. Kline of Cabarrus County. r ig'ures and accountants indicate that we are financially bankrpt— economically prostrate. Debts and obligations on government, institu tions and individuals hav'e piled up and we cannot pay. The brief defi nition of this condition is “depres sion.” Becau-e'the wheels of indus try move sluggishly ,and business is not brisk, we cover the whole category of our ailments under the single item—“depression.” Now it begins, to appear that v are 'spiritually bankrupt, also. We say' “appear,” becau>e we are just beginning to see the outward evi- dencses, the obvdous consequences of our spiritual bankruptcy. The fact I is that spiritual bankruptcy came j first, then financial bankruptcy; and I now the fruits of .both must be eat- 'f'en. In the days of prosperity', the ' destroyer came. This is the teach ing of Scripture: “In prosperity the destroyer shall come.” (Job 15:21.) We lived as if prosperity would abide, and we said with the Psalmist • “And-in my pro.sperity, I shall, -I shall never be moved.” But it was in the day of our country’s pros perity that the seeds of our bank ruptcy were sown—first in the soil of the sipiritual, then in the soil of the financial and economic. There were wise ones who were declaring from the pulpit that “America’s greatest sin was that of forgetting God.” These men were real prophets and the consequences of our sin came upon us. Spiritual depression came first, and was obscured through the pleasures and pursuits of pos sesions. Now that financial depres sion has come, we have discovered how thoroughly and completely we are depressed, bankrupt, morally and spiritually. From our prosperity, we were giving God and his cause a “hand-out.” We were suporting the Work of the kingdom with that which we did not wantonly waste and wish away. We became indiferent to the -spiritual cause, and claims of the Kingdom of God ,and now7 when we are financially unable, we dis cover how spiritually bare we have become.—J. 0. Atkinson in Christian’ SCIENTISTS DEVELOP “SHATTERPROOF” GRAPE Sun. “Shatterproof” grapes is one of the latest accomplishments of sci entists of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture and one which may save grape growers of the I United States thousands of dollars j annually. j Shippers lose large sums y'early from grapes which “shatters” or break from the stem, in transit. Dr. Charles Brooks of the department has discovered in laboratory experi ments that subjecting the grapes to carbon dioxide gas before they are placed in the refrigerator car pre vents much of this shattering. He has applied for a public-service pat ent which will make the method free for anyone to use. Carlot shipments of grapes in the United States have averaged more than 69,000 for the last 10 years and department officials believe that general use of the new method may save the grape growers large sums of money every year. Vv hen “Our Bob” was running around the State in hot pusuit of the Democratic nomination for the Senate he saw fit to criticise rather harshly the Reconstruction Corpora tion. In doing this he was merely following the example of variou,s demagogues. The Reconstruction Corporation was established by the votes of Democratic and Republican Con gressmen and is really a non parti san measure. It has saved thous ands of banks, a good many rail roads and insurance- companies and has benefitted millions of peopple, the entire population of the United' States in fact. The Reconstruction. Corporation has been endorsed by former Governor McLean of North Carolina and many other leading financiers add statesmen throughout the country. Mr. Reynolds was a little hasty in making his criticisms. —Beaufort News. Alleghany farmers recently sold 41 hea of steers at an averageprice of six cents a pound. G. V.
