WHITFIELD S. CLARY,
JR.
V* ?????
Our heart is bleeding over the
death of Mr. Whltt Clary, Jr., who
died at the hospital In Washing
ton Monday morning at 11 o'clock.
While his name did not appear at
the masthead, he did much writ
ing for us, in fact, we recognized
him as our pinch hitter, and he
never failed when we called on him.
While he did not write regularly
he was a master of English, and
had a beautiful manner of express
ing himself. We can say truth
fully that he was a Christian gen
tleman, loved by all with whom he
came In contact, and the many,
many expressions of sympathy
which we have received attest to
his popularity. He loved the out
door life, was an ardent fisherman
and was never happier than when
sitting in the stern of a boat guid
ing It up and down and across the
sound.
During our sojourn in Rtaleigh
last winter he had entire charge
of this paper, and how well he
managed and carried on is well
known to all of our readers. We
shan 'miss htm : we were with him
when the end came, still hoping
and praying that his life might
be spared, but on Monday morn
ing at the stroke of eleven by the
clock his soul quietly and peace
fully slipped away to be with the
God he loved.
World's Fair Brought
$400,000,000 of New
Money To Chicago
Chicago. Oct. 29. ? A Century of
Progress ? a $400,000,000 idea.
This today was the answer of the
Chicago Association of Commerce
to those who ask what value an
inspiration can Jje.
For the world's fair ? whose suc
cess has matched the courage of its
promters ? has brought that amount
?$400,000, 000? to Chicago in less
than five months and has made
this city one of the brightest spots
on the American economic map.
The figures, released for the first
time as the exposition nears its
closing date, November 12, was call
ed "conservative" by Paul Kunning,
trade promotion director of the
association. He said:
"The fair has brought $400,000,000
of new money to Chicago. The
money has been spent here by out
of-town visitors. We base our fig
ure on conservative estimates of
business leaders of the city and on
careful surveys by our own ex
perts."
Spending of this tremendous sum
has rejuvenated business and re
sulted in an increase in employ
ment here. Railroads, transporta
tion, automobile, gasoline and kin
dred industries far removed from
Chicago have felt stimulating ef

New Tobacco Program
Wlil Start Real Soon!
The program to reduce the crop
of. flue cured tobacco to about 500
million pounds in 1934 will start
In North Carolina within the next
few days.
Instructions received at State
College from the tobacco section of
the Agricultural Adjustment Ad
ministration indicate that all forms,
contracts and regulations have been
prepared and that county farm
agents may proceed early in No
vember to begin the formation of
county tobacco control associations.
Farm agents in the 57 counties
growing flue cured tobacco in the
State have been instructed to meet
at the college on November 3 and 4
to receive instructions, in procedure.
E. Y. Floyd, tobacco specialist for
the extension service, has been in
Washington for over a week secur
ing all information necessary to
handling the campaign. Mr. Floyd
will have active charge of the
movement in this State under the
general supervision of Dean I. O.
Schaub.
Mr. Schaub says .that two or
more men from the tobacco section
of the AAA will come to State Col
lege for the county agent meeting
on November 3 and 4 to aid Floyd
in preparing plans for the cam
paign and in giving instructions to
the agents.
NOrth Carolina growers gave al
most unanimous support to the
tobacco program by signing up over
95 percent of the land put to to
bacco during the past three sea
sons. There were 55,771 agreements
representing 581,757 acres signed in
the September campaign.
Similar action was taken by the
growers of South Carolina, Vir
ginia and Georgia.

NO ADVOCATION
OF COMMUNISM
In announcing that he has open
ed negotiations with the Soviet gov
ernment of Russia looking toward
eventual "recognition" of that na
tion, President Roosevelt does not.j
as we understand it. Indorse or ad
vocate ? Communistic form of gov- 1
ernment. He recognizes the fact
that (or sixteen years the Russian'
people have been developing a new
form of government, that that gov
ernment has survived and is ap
parently strong enough to continue \
indefinitely, and that it is the Rus-:
sian people's own business as to
what form their government takes.!
In its early days the Soviet ex-|
periment was accompanied by loud
threats of world revolution. We un- 1
derstand that those threats were]
largely due to the belief that a
Capitalistic world would not toler-j
ate a single Communistic experi
ment, and that in order for it to {
succeed it would be necessary to con
vert all the rest of the world. The
Soviet leaders have learned differ
ent by now; they have discovered
that the rest of the world doesn't!
care what they do Inside their own
nation Little is heard these days'
of the danger of the spread of
Communism.
It seems to us that ' it is as reas
onable for the United States to re
cognize the right of Russia to be
considered a world nation as it is
to regard Italy, under a dictator, or
Japan, under an absolute monarch,
as having equal rights with our
selves. None of them has our form
of government but we would be last
to try to impose our ideas upon
them.
Recognition of Russia ought to
open up trade channels which are
now impeded, and create a much
more friendly feeling among all the
nations. To be sure, there are sev
eral other matters to be settled. |
Will the Soviet government recog- 1
nize the debts owed by the old
Russian government to the United i
States, and restore the American]
property which It confiscated? i
That and other questions need ;
answering before recognition can :
be generally acceptable. ? Autocaster.

HANCOCK GETS
ENCOURAGEMENT
w _____
While some ct its sponsors and
friends have been bitter in their re
plies to Congressman Prank Han
cock's attack on the tobacco agree
ment recently signed In Washing
ton. the Secretary of Agriculture
of the United States, Hon. H. A.
Wallace, is not among that number.
After reading the Fifth District
Representative's criticism of the
tobacco agreement. Secretary Wal
lace wrote Mr. Hancock a letter in
which he said:
"I can only say to you that I :
think you have been helpful in the i
past, and I know you will be again, i
We have a very realistic situation;
to meet, and we must do as well as
we can from day to day. The to-,
bacco agreement that has been i
signed will be of short duration, and
durinv the time that it is in opera
tion, I hope we may be able to work
out something better for the fu
ture."
This is by far the most sensible
reply we have seen to Mr. Han
cock's vigorous statement. Others
have replied, but they have not
answered the points he made against
the tobacco agreement. Secretary
Wallace at least holds out new
hope for the future, if not for the
present.
In the meantime, every day that
the export buyers fall to pay parity
prices tot tobacco, the arguments
presented by Mr. Hancock gain new
force. If time continues to fight
on his side in future as it has been
fighting every day since the tobacco
market opened in the Old Belt, his
ultimate vindication is assured.
There is only one way the tobacco
buyers can put Mr. Hancock in a
hole on this matter, and that Is for
the exporters to pay parity prices
for the leaf the same as domestic
manufatcurers are paying. ? Editor
ial appearing in Winston-Salem
Journal, October 26, 1933.

What the Liquor Bar
Brings To America
A bar to manliness and wealth
A door to want and broken health
A bar to honor, pride and fame
A door to sorrow, sin and shame
A bar to hope, a bar to prayer
A door to darkness and despair
A bar to honored, useful life
A door to brawling, senseless strife
A bar to all that are true and' brave
A door to every drunkard's grave
A bar to Joys that home imparts
A door to tears and broken hearts
A bar to heaven, a door to hell
Who ever named it, named it well.
I will say, let us lift our lives
above these things that we have
nothing to regret when we come
to die.
