better sales or more happy farmers,
in fact every one is happy for it
looks like that corner has been

We may be mistaken but we al
ways thought it was a good time to
sell when prices were good, and we
know prices are good, better than'
they have been since 1919?and many ;
say they are higher today than at
that time, for the quality is not so
good as then. And we believe Rox- i

cause here you can come in with J
your load, sell, do your shopping and
get back home the same day; and
further, no market, either eastern,
middle or old belt, is averaging |

We pride ourselves on trying
to be on time, but today we held
back on account of giving the
fans the base ball score. It is
rather unusual for a weekly to
give the result of the great game
even before the afternoon pa
pers, but nothing is too good,
or too much trouble, 'for us
when it will benefit our readers.

And Its Fundamentals, De
fending: The Court System
Associate Justice Willis J. Brog
den of Durham and Raleigh, for
nine years a member of the Su
preme Court of North Carolina,
spoke to the Kiwanis Club and it's
guests on Monday night in the reg
ular meeting of the club. Judge j

thread in 1776 and traced the devel
opment of the Supreme Court from

the constitution of 1868. He defend
ed, where so many people have be
rated, the court system in our state
and nation. Judge Brogden point- |
ed out that there was no more di- i
rect way for a man to get Justice I
than to go into the courts for an
alleged wrong and seek retribution
At the hands of the courts "that
stand guard at his fireside at night,
that surround his liberty and his
property." His remarks, sprinkled
with his original wit and humor
throughout, were listened to with
Close attention and were enjoyed
by his hearers. In concluding his
remarks Judge Brogden urged the
Kiwanians and others who were
present, to base their opinions of
statecraft arid affairs of govern
ment, not on hearsay or prejudice,
but on profound thought and study.
The ladies of the Methodist church
served an excellent chicken dinner
in the basement of the church.
Guests for the evening were: Jus
tice Brogden, B. T. Bumbardner, Mr.
Davis of Durham, Dr. A. P. Nichols,

NEWNRJMRS
TAKE OVER DUTIES
OE HUGH JOHNSON
Retiring Administrator And
Donald Rich berg Shake
Hands in Friendly Style
JOHNSON DENIES ANY
PERSONAL FRICTION
Washington, Oct. 2.?In an at
mosphere marked by the first hand
shake in weeks between Donald R.
Richberk, unofficial chief of NRA,
and Hugh S. Johnson, its retiring
administrator, the new governors of
the Blue Eagle today began their
task of reshaping Its control over
industry.
The industrial recovery board,
newly-named by the President, was
closeted in executive session four
hours with Richberg, director of the
policy shaping committee. The con
ference ended without action.
Then the-entire group paid their
respects to Johnson, builder of the
industrial code structure. It was the
first meeting?and a smiling one?
between Richberg and his old chief
since their differences over reor
gani^ion methods, generally cred
ited with hastening Johnson's with
drawal.
-No Quarrel,
"We had a friendly little chat
over future NRA policies," Johnson
said later. "We've had no disagree
ment and all that talk about it is
the bunk." u
S. clay Williams, chairman of the
new board, spoke for it at the end
of a day's session.
"We have been outlining for our
selves Just what our job is," he said
"We took no action. These discus
sions will continue for several
days."
Richberg declined to discuss the
meeting, emphasizing that "the
board will speak for itself."
"Chiseling," as Johnson expressed
it, has long been recognized a ma
jor threat to Blue Eagle, codes. The
board was reported to be fully
aware of this problem and to plan
a_ painstaking ^survey of existing
compliance machinery with an eye
to a general tightening up.
What such action might involve in
the way of code amendments was '
not immediately evident. In any
event, the recovery governors were
determined on an "evolutionary"
approach to their work .
As To Salaries.
Even the question of salaries for
board members remained to be set
tled. Johnson drew only $6,000 an
nually until President Roosevelt
personally boosted his pay in, mid
summer to $15,000.
