PAGE SIX _ _ -l FARMERS’ BUYING POWER INCREASED Rise in Crop Prices Aid to Business Generally. Washington, Aug. 16. —With the important crops valued at current prices at rflore than a billion dollar-- above those of year ago, the Gov ernment economists point out an in <t<4u-;e in buying power will stimu late general business throughout the country to higher levels this fall. Cotton has gained sls a bale.since Monday’s Government forecast of probab.e yield, which proved sur prisingly small. This has added more than $200,000,000 to the value of this season's crop. W bile subject to fluctuations, the tendency appears to be further upward. At the moment the prospective crop is worth ha f a billion dollars more than last sea son’s at this time. The continued upturn in general agricultural prices, including the sharp advance in cotton, has carried the index figure of the purchasing power of farm products •in terms of non-agricultural commodities to a point higher than in August last year, with indications that the 111—5 Comparison will be passed if the present tendency holds. That the prospective conditions in farm mar kets will have their effects upon agricultural relief legislation in C on gress appears to be a fixed opinion in Washington. The demands, it is believed, will be less extreme than if lower prices were prevailing mis year than last. But there is no thought here that conditions will arise which will fireep into the limbo of things for gotten the movement for farm re lief machinery. The issue has be come too pronounced to be killed by a single season of good returns to the farmers, even if all farmers were able to share in the higher prices, which they are not owing to spotted conditions. But unquestionably the situation as to the type of legisla tion to be pressed has become more pebulous in recent weeks. It is emphasized by students of agriculture conditions that while current prices for farm products are favorable these ranges are subject to fluctuations before the harvests are gathered and the money pours into the pockets of the growers. Prices may be either higher or lower when marketing is in full swine. That they will be definitely higher than last year's returns, however, appears certain. Cotton, for instance. Is subject to world conditions. #Tbe forthcoming report on world carryover of Ameri can cotton will influence the market, not to mention weather in the pro- # dnefng bolt, with its effects upon matu’-irv and upon pest damage. Th*o * more wheat in Europe than season, hut this appears offset by a probable shorted crop in Cana da- W:rh higher generally as sured. despite conditions yet to be s»*c before the harvests are gathered, economists here look for a smooth ing of the peaks and valleys in busi throughout the country, which wi l tone up the situation in general, pror iding an impetus to manufactur er! t products, as well as to whole sa'e and retail trade. “Gin Marriage" Law Slows Up Wed dings. (By International News Service.) San Francisco. Aug. 18. —Just when they had reconciled themselves to a three-day. wait in receiving their marriage licenses, prospective brides and grooms in California learned that they really had to wait four days. The marriage” law, drawn up to prevent giddy-headed revelers from marrying one day and annuling their marriage the next, provided that “three days” must pass between an application for a marriage license and the issuance of the license itself. This delay, the legislators believed, would enforce cool and calm deliberation'. Now, however, under an interpreta tion of Attorney eneral U. S. Webb the three-day period doesn’t begin till midnight of the day of the application, and ends at midnight of the third day. Since few applications for licenses or marries can be performed at that hour of the day the interpretation really places a four-day moratorium in effect. October 8, instead of Columbus Day as in the past, has been fixed as the date for this year’s national* marathon from New York City to < %^MChester > N. Y.

Boston, Aug. 16.—0^)—-Arguments for and against exceptions to dec's iops of Justice Georg* A. Sanderson of the state supreme court, and Judge Webster Thayer of the superior eourt, ill the Sassoc-Vanzetti case were heard today by four justices of the supreme court, sitting as the full bench. The court sat in the Suffold County court house which was heavily guarded as a precaution against possible disturb ance. i Arthur D. Hill, chief defense cour.-. sel. argued that prejudice on the part of Judge Thayer, who presided at the trial of Nicolai Sacco and Bortolomeo Vanzetti had been clearly shown, and was sufficient to warrant a new trial. Attorney General Arthur K. Heading took the ground that no evidence of prejudice sufficient to require Justice Sanderson to issue a writ of error had been presented. In connection with defense affidavits telling of alleged statements made by Judge Thayer outside the court room, some of which asserted that the judge had-used vile language \sith reference to Sacco ami Vanzetti, Attorney Gen eral Heading remarked in his brief: • We feel it our duty to point out that ' the constitution of Massachusetts does not guarantee that every judge will at every time and place, within and with out the court room, refrain from the use of profanity and vile language.” KANSAS FLOOD DANGER GROWS MORE SERIOUS One of the Worst Floods Since 1903 Being Experienced in Central Part of the State.

Governor Byrd, of Virginia, yester day honored papers issued by Gov ernor McLean of North Carolina for the extradition of John W. Yarnadore, alias W. T. Davis, alias C. B. Brown, to Concord, where he is wanted on the charge of obtaining a car from 'the Standard Buick Co., on false rep resentations.' The governor held hearings recent ly in the case, reserving liis decision. I The man resisted extradition on the ground that the transactions were strictly a civil one and consequently . he was not subject to criminal prose- i cution. i The evidence was that he obtained ; the, car in question by trading in an- i other with a mortgage on it without disclosing that it was encumbered by ( a' lien. 1 He was arrested recently at Alta Vista, Ya. f and has since been out j on bond.

Nine Midland students, attending the summer session at Bethel school, painfully hurt about 3 o’clock Wednesday afternoon when the school bus in which they were riding, over turned following an usual accident with an express truck. The scene of the mishap was only a short distance from Bethel school.

Glenn Mis enheimer, 18, was driving the bus. He was uninjured, while the other ''Cfupants of the vehicle suffered severe bruises and cuts. None, how ever, suffered any broken bones as far as could be learned today. Among the students who were ihore f* idly hurt in the accident were two Virginia Hartsell and Claire Barrett. -The names of the >ther students were not learned.

Pleasant Man. Mbemarle Press. “You may say what you please about sweet clover,” exclaimed Mr. Clifford Hatley, Mt f Pleasant, Route l, while sweet clover was in discus sion, “but it has to be up and going if it beats Laredo soy beans. Now fel lows, they are the stuff. I paid $8.50 for a bushel of the little black things three years agev and honestly it was .one of the best investment I have ever made. I thought it was a # crime at the time to pay that much for a lit tle poke of beans. This past spring two years ago I planted a six-acre field of Laredo soy beans. That fall I cut them off for seed and sowed the land to oats, orchard, grass, Red and Alsike clover,, and to my surprise the beans came up to a fairly good stand the next spring. I cut the oats a lit tle high and allowed them to grow and reseed. I let the land rest this year for the benefit of the clover and you know there is a fairly good stand of beans from 12 to 24 inches high. They are considerably higher than the Red clover. That was a poor field wheu these beans took hold of it, but it is getting better and better.” “Not only that,” continued Mr. Hatley, “we seeded 12 acres of sure enough land last spring with these beans. They did not get so high but they reseeded the land. We sowed the field to hairy vetch and oats and there were so many beans t at harvest time that we were almost afraid to cut the small grain, and now the field is a solid mass of soy beans around 12 to 24 inches ingh. In another field we had some planted in the row with corn and they reseeded and now they are running a race with some volun teer clover.” “No.sir,” continued Mr. Hatley, “I do not know much about sweet clover but it will have to do some tall work if it beats these lit tle black Laredos. They are the stuff to make the land rich.” ./ <— To Open New Stretch of ' Concrete Highway.

I wl r;i:.Vv .•■•'•jLu' THE CONCORD TIMES HIGHLANDERS IN 6 TO 5 TRIUMPH OVER LOU’S TEAM Fayetteville Tallies Winning Run in Tenth Frame.— Teams Play* Here Again This Afternoon. By RADIO KING. A tfingle and a double from the bats of Patton and Branch, respective ly, the former scoring, gave the Fayet teville Highlanders a 6 to 5 decision over the Concord Weavers in the tenth , frame here Wednesday after uoon. The score ran nip and tuck until the winning tally was rushed home, the fans witnessing some smart bnse-running, pert fielding, and superb pitching. Coucord’s five runs came like an April shower —all at once; and this number was sufficient to put the Weav ers out in front of the Highlander score. The Weavers tallied five markers in the fifth after Fayetteville had scored four runs in the fourth stanza. The Fayetteville players slammed the horsehide hard for its four scores while Concord had the grace of errors and three hits to send its five scores across the patter. The Ivewellyns held the one run lead until the seventh when Kitchen, the Highlander* hurler, doubled to leftfield and scored on McKinlin’s sin gle to deep centerfieW. Then the game looked like a cravat factory it was a tie. Concord came near wreck ing the tie in its half of the, seventh. Smart fielding ruined the locals’ chance tP score. Morris, Watte and Newbury, each singled in their turn to the bat with none Then with the bases loaded the Highlanders fielded majestically to squash a threatening rally. For the three innings the Weavers and Highlanders sparred with the other desperately. Concord was held hitless, while the Fayetteville crew plunked out three hits in the three rounds, two goming in the final canto when Patton scored the winning run. Concord managed to get a man around to second in each of the last three innings but none could connect with Kitchen’s-offerings to bring home the tally. Kitchen southpawed the locals with telling effect. The best the Lewellyns could do was six hits, three of which were scarcely more than scratches. Our own pitcher, Henry Newbury, led the drive against Fayetteville’s “Cook Room.” He slammed out two hits, one coming in the fifth to score three runs. But the Kitchen lad knew his left arm, and strutted like a Charlotte flapper. Beautiful Fielding. Few third-eackers with the speed and the arm of Branch have been seen in action in this neck of the woode. The Fayetteville third base man played a stirring game, handling seven difficult chances perfectly, and getting two hits out of five timeu at bat. Branch has a good arm, and his throw* to first is bullet-like and well controlled. The Weavers were driv ing the ball like bullets in the in field, and sending line driv.ee to the outer garden but each time the Fay etteville gang w;as there to grab them. Chink Outen made two difficult catches during the afternoon, making a one-hand stab w’hile going at speed. The other high flier was caught by the hard-hitting rightfielder after a long, hard race. Reynolds demon strated thal shoe-striu? catches are still in style too. He nabbed Hatley’s sure-hit and fell sprawling but hold ing fast to the ball. Play Today. The Highlanders and Weavers now' stand even in their series, each club having won and lost one game. The exhibition at 3 p. m. this afternoon will be the “rubber tilt.”' .Lefty Morris will probably work for Con cord while the Feyetteville manager did not name his probable mounds man. The Box Score.

ONLY FEW CRIMINAL CASES REMAIN FOR TRIAL DURING WEEK When E. B. Leonard Case Was Called Yesterday Ma jority of Criminal Cases Had Been Disposed of.

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR LONG DEFENDS ACTION Says the Ordering of Troops to Hen derson Was Necessary. The Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh Aug. 17.—Thfct the order ing out of troops on August 10th, dur ing the strike of the employee of the Harriett Cotton Mills in Henderson was necessary in order to avoid riot ing which might have meant the loss of life and property, and that the situ ation was beyond the control of local authorities, is the statement made by Lieutenant Governor Elmer Long in his formal report to Governor A. W. McLean, and borne out by signed statements from the sheriff and others in Hdnderson, who agree that the move was a wise one. The troops were called out by the lieutenant governor, since Governor McLean was absent on his vacation. The sheriff of Vance county was ab sent from the county, having gone to Baltimore for a prisoner, the report states, and though he had taken the precaution before leaving to swear in fifteen additional deputy sheriffs, aH of these but two turned in their badges, stating that they were unwil ling to further cope with the angered strikers who were threatening both life and property. On hie return, Sheriff D. L. Kearney wrote Lieuten ant Governor Long as follows • “I feel that it w r a wise move to send troops here at the time, as from investigation I do not be’ieve it would have been possible to have handled the situation even with fifty deputies. I feel that the timely arrival of the troops has averted a riot.’’ Lieutenant Colonel J. W. Jenkins, of Henderson, in command of the troope on duty, made a thorough in vestigation, and reported as follows: “At the time I took command the crowd had become inflamed beyond the point of reason, and I think could not have been handled without ade quate force. The fact that the troops were called out undoubtedly prevented loss of life and property.” Many sim ilar statements from county officials are cited in the report. “My action was based on what I conceived to be proper representations from the people affected. While the method was drastic, I am convinced it would have been far worse to per mit any situation to exist abbut which there was as serious doubt as that which enshrouded this,” the lieuten ant governor said in concluding his re port. FORCE MILLS TO COME SOUTH. Experts Says Massachusetts Laws Giving South Industry. Wiliamstown, Mass., Aug 17 — Massachusetts legislation is forcing cotton mills from New England to the South where long hours and cheap labor can be obtained. Professor John A. Todd, of the London Cotton Ex change, told the Institute of Politics today. Bay State laws limiting child and female labor are shifting the cotton manufacturing centers to more pro pitious regions, he asserted. Discussing the British Empire as a potential competitor of America in cotton production he said that India can raise cotton at a lower cost than any country in the world today, it being only a question of time until she is competing with America. She has increased production 50 per cent within the past ten years, and he believed would probably increase it by as much again by 1937 if a stabiliz ed price of eighteen cents could be maintained. The corresponding increase in con sumption and buying power would check the menace of surplus produc tion, he thought. Still Making Headway. Honolulu, Aug. 17.— (A 3 )—The S. S.
