Pou Takes A Hand In Discussion Of Relief Representative Believes Tobacca and Cotton Growers In Need of Some Help. Dr. Atkinson Writes. The editor of the John.stonian-Sun received, a letter from Dr. Wade H. Atkin.son a few days ago in which he said that he and Mrs. Atkinson ■were .getting along fine. With refer ence to the health of himself and Mrs. Atkinson, the Dr. wrote as follows: “Mrs. Atkinson and I are fine. The French Doctors say I am restored, so expect to return home ■well of my weak heart and high blood pressure.” Railroad Shops Resume Activity Washington, Sept. 30.—Representa tive Pou today addressed a letter to President Hoover commending the administration for the recently an nounced policy of allowing a 75 per cent moratorium on crop production loans. This course Mr. Pou regards as both wise and humane, but he ex- pre.ssed to the President the view that such a policy should be general in its application, and certainly should include the growers of to bacco and cotton, when they were found in straitened circumstances. It is difficult for Mr. Pou to believe that materially wor.se conditions can prevail in the wheat belt than are now to be found in the southeast. It is the present intention of the administration to pur.s-tre the course urged by Mr. Pou, but it is suspect ed that in the south it will be more of an individual matter, because the view is held here in official circles that the producers of cotton and to bacco, where conditions have enabl ed them to produce good crops, have not fai-ed =o badly, -with improving prices. Many of the farmers have not sought extensions of their loans unle.ss, as in some sections, they have suffered from the drought, or the ravages of insects to an unu.=ual extent. .A.t the department of a.griculture today some of the officials disclaim ed any knowledge of the White House announcement of yesterday, that the 75 percent moratorium on the production loans would be so broadened as to include the tobacco and cotton .growers. It was said that leniency had already been shown to individual farmers, in distre.ss cases, but the department had not contem plated .goin.g beyond this. If such departmental reports are well founded, it would seem that it is g-oin.g to be advisable for the White House and the departmental officials to do .some co-ordinating.

F. Brietz was a charming- hostess to the Book club, Friday af ternoon, September 30th, at her home on Railroad street. A brief business session was presided over by Mrs. G. D.

No official an nouncement had been made tonight to indicate that the men would work permanently, but it is generally sup posed that the force will work for several weeks before-operations are curtailed. Approximately 250 men -were put back to work in the round house and on the rip track, while about 450 were recalled to the various shops. It was reported that the railroad contemplated begining full time operations in November when exten sive repairs, needed on equipment, will be started. The men recalled to the plants this morning had been idle here for th.e past .several weeks and the re call created unusual optimism in the city.

Commits Suicide Without Any Ascertained Reason. Charlotte, Oct. 3.--S. E. Cornwell, treasurer of Mecklenburg county, shot and killed himself in the court house without and ascertained rea son early today and the transaction of the county’s financial affairs was temporarily halted. The treasurer was found deal, slumped in a chair in a rooffi to the rear of the civil courtroom by Judge J. V. Cowper when he entered to hang up his hat before opening- court. A revolver was found near. It is believed Cornwell took his own life shortly after he arived at the biuld- ing- at 7:30 o’clock. Coroner Frank Hovis said it was linquestionablly a ca.se of suicide. The treasurer’s friends said he had been in impaired health. He suffer ed the amputation of a leg many years ago. Immediately after the news of his suicide spread, banks of the city notified county officials they would not honor checks .‘■igned by Corn- well pending the solution of legal problems raised by his death. Late today the board of county commissioners authorized its chair man, Joe A. Sherrill, to sign payro! checks until a new treasui-er is se lected.
