five occasions, but at this point the
visitors tightened up its defense, and
t!ie locals were unable to carry the
ball over their goal. Coach Heffner
for the home boys and coach Thomp

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION
MAY TAKE HAND IN TOBACCO
SITUATION IN THIS SECTION
r
. " w
Washington, Nov. 5,?At a session
of the federal trade commission the
chairman. Judge McCulloch, brought
to the attention of the .commission the
resolutions adopted by the tobaccoc
growers of Guilford and other coun
ties. In these resolutions the to
bacco companies are charged with un
fair practices, a resort to territorial
and price agreements, and violation of
?he anti,-trust laws.
'J h* ccmmiaalmi decided that theTe=-fl
solutions should be turned over to the
chief examiner for the commission,
and this official,- in turn, will asstgn
an examiner to visit the state to sc
; cure whatever evidence may be avail
able in support of the allegations
against the companies and the buyers
of tobacco.
It is supposed that the examiner
l assigned to this duty will be able to
, visit the state within the next two
weeks He will first visit the men
| who signed the resolutions, and with
i the evidence he may acquire before it.
the commission will- then decide wheth
er there has been discovered "probable
cause" or a prima facie case. If this
should be the result, and probable
cause should be discovered, then a
complaint would be Issued by the
~??"mission, and the tobacto com
panies would be Riven 30 days In
which to make response.
It Is likely, that thp department?!
justice will also send in agent to the
state, and there will -be a degree of
co-operation between >th? department
?nd the commission. ' tf prosecution
of the companies sho?id be decided
upon, all the evidence In the hand*

The Stock Market
And Prosperity
While stocks "f/tw down and go
boom" and a multitude of spet tpators
find themselves the victims, our nation
al prosperity continues on an even
keel. During the height of the Wall
Street slump, public officials a* well
a* business leaders have come forth
to reassure the public that the slump
In the market should hav* no great
effect on our national prosperity.
Level headed government, a sound
bankng system, and above all good
business organization, keeps the IhdlS'"
position of Wall Street from throw
ing the entire nation out of whack.
At the same time, we are confronted
by a statement by Alexander Legge.
Chairman of the Farm Board, that
the shrinkage In stock values has had
a very deteriorating effect on the
prices of wheat. This only goes to
show that other industries, because
they are organised, and work co-op
eratlvely. are safer than the farm'In
dustry from the effects, of, a Stock
exchange slump. When the good
work being done by t.hf Wtfm Board
and other agencies finds fruition In a
thorough organisation of the fan? In
dustry. farmers .will have Ms to fear
from Irregularities In Wall Street.

land Pollards former professor of law
at the college of William And Mary,
was elected governor of Virginia" to
night .in what turned out to be a
landslide for the' pemocratkf party.
The Democratic nominee led his op
ponent. Dr. Wllljam Moyeley Brown(
nominee of the anti-Smith DenlOcrut*
and Republicans, in every congression
al. district and with less than two
thirds of the total vote tabdTated, had
arhassed a lead of close to 50.000 vote*.
Pollard's election was conceded by
Brown headquarters at 10:40. At that
hour returns from 1.080 of the states

I A Rare Oppcrtunity
, it is: not often you can buy an ?r
, tide which was worth $65.06 for al
most a song, but that Is Just what
1 Harris & Burns are offering you thia
j week. They have about 100 coats
' which sold up as high as $65 whtch
I they are offering from $1.95 to $9.95)
'Of course. .these coats are not the
'very latest styles, fof they carried
them" over froirrtor-seasonr-but they
are just as goodf as if they were new.
and as far as.service Is concerned will
give the same full value in wear. And,
remember, when Harris & Burns states
they were priced?and worth the price
?as high as $65.00, that is just what
they were, for they do not play with
adjectives and boost prices for effect.
This is the oppbrtunlty of a life,
time, and if you are not too partic
ular about styles you want to see
these coats.
