Shotwell Papers
Now Completed
"The Letters and Papers of Ran
dolph Shotwell," Vol. 2, has beer
published and is now ready for dis
tribution by The North Carolina
Historical Commission. Volume one
was published last year. The first
vol urn,e dealt with Shotwell's ( life
as a student and Confederate sol
dier. The second volume concerns
him as a newspaper editor at Ruth
erfordton, and the disgraceful epi
sode of his mock trial and sentence
to Albany penitentiary, allegedly
for participation in Ku Klux Klan
activities, but in reality a stroke of
the Republican party to humilate
him in revenge for his political ac
tivity in behalf of the Democrats.
His trial which was held in Morgan
ton before the corrupt federal Judge
Bond, with a hand picked jury of
Republicans and negroes, and later
his "entry" in Raleigh, boupd with
ropes, constitutes one of the dark
est chapters in North Carolina his
tory. Shotwell was a member of a
cultured and highly respected fam
ily, and was given many eaucation
al advantages. As a newspaper editor i
in Rutherfordton and Asheville he,
had no peer. The prosecution direct- !
ed against him during the corrupt,
days of the Reconstruction broke |
his health, and carried him to an j
early grave.
The Letters and Papers of Shot- j
well may be secured from The North |
Carolina Historical Commission, Ral- j
eigh, N. C., free of charge as long j
as the supply lasts. A charge of;
35c is made for packing and postage.

*j LATEST PICTURE

"j Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., featured
11 ' in First National's picture "I Lik3
"(Your Nerve", coming to the Romina
a ! Theatre, is ready to match his skill
0 (as a driver against Malcolm Cam
" J bell, Bullet Baker, Outdoor Frank
? ! lin or any other of the fearless fra
" i ternity of stunt motorists.
si .
I Doug's new picture, "I Like Your
Nerye," calls upon him for several
: feats of daredevil speeding. Not only
' • •
does he have to drive several high
\T
powered cars at reckless speed, spin
f (them around corners on two wheels,
• then through gates, fences, and into
bridge railings with nice judgment
.of camera angles and safety for
" others as well as for himself.
s These feats, however, are not as
? risky as they sound. Before such
, scenes are made all conditions are
| carefully considered. Distances are
figured to an inch, the weight of the
car and its speed are allowed for
and calculated in advance, the car
brakes are tested and nothing is left
to chance.
1 "I Like xour Nerve," !s not a
, story of an automobile race driver
; nor is it primarily a story of reck
, lessness on the highway. It is des
, cribed as an action-full story of an
, enthusiastic young American who
i becomes involved Jin political and
| romantic intrigues while making a
j motor tour of Central America.
| Loretta Young supports Fairbanks.
| The cast includes Claude Allister,
; Andre Cheron, Henry Kolker, Ed
mund Breon, Boris Karloff and Luis
Alberni. William McGann directed.

.GARDNER SAYS COTTON
CROP WILL BE REDUCED
■
Raleigh, Sept. 22—North Caro
y lina's cotton crop in 1932, in the
opinion of Governor 0. Max Gard
;l ner, "will be reduced by at least 50
per cent" despite the fact that the
J executive believes concerted effort
t for acreage reduction "by all South
r ern States is not now feasible.
! Governor Gardner stated his opin
ions in a telegram yesterday to
Clark Howell, publisher of The At
* lanta Constitution. It was in reply
to a wire from the Georgia news
oaperman suggesting that the North
' t Carolina executive push his propo
sal for a conference of Southern
States governors.
'j "In my judgment, the minds of
 Southern governors are so diverse
and the feeling of Texas, Louisiana, ;
Arkansas, Oklahoma and South
' 7 i
f Carolina so conflicting that there j
i
, must be some sign of co-operative j
effort not now prevailing before I
a conference would amount to any- j
i thing except a debate over policy;
and procedure," Governor Gardner '
wired.
1 "Governor Sterling (of Texas) is
reported to have stated after the j
passage of the Texas act that he j
could see no good in a conference |
i such as I proposed.
"I have repeatedly stated that in
|my opinion it would be unwise and !
| ineffectual for the States east of j
I the Mississippi to undertake con- ■
certed action until there had been
, developed a unity and co-operative |
agreement upon the part of Texas, ;
! Oklahoma and Arkansas, the three i
; States producing two-thirds of the j
; American crop.
"Whatever action may or may not j
! be taken in the South as a whole, j
j the cotton trade of the world may j
j absolutely accept the fact that the j
| cotton crop in North Carolina will j
jbe reduced at least 50 per cent in ;
! 1932."
