THE CENSl S LV
SOUTHERN PINES
Although showing an increase
of nearly 25 percent in popula
tion since the 1930 census, the
enumeration of residents of
Southern Pines is something of
a disappointment in that the
count shows a loss of 38 in white
jjeople. From every standpoint
except the tentative count of
souls, .iust completed. Southern
Pines has progressed favorably
during the decade. That it
shows no population gain other
than that brought about by the
acquisition of West Southern
Pines, annexed since the 1930
census, gives ri.se to two
thoughts: either the 1930 fig
ures were Fnaccurate, or all res
idents have not been counted in
the present ^numeration.
A great many new homes have
been erected during the ten year
period: postal receipts have
swelled some 15 percent; water
receipts and electric light con
sumption have materially in
creased. There is every sign of
a growing city—except the count
of noses.
In the belief that some citi
zens have been missed in the
count, The Pilot is this week
printing a coupon (on another
page) to be signed by anyone
who may have been unwittingly
overlooked by the enumerators,
and asks that this be forwarded
to The Pilot. We want everyone
listed who sihould be listed.
THE CANDIDATES
FOR GOVERNOR
North Carolina is fortunate
this year in the calibre of its
candidates for Governor of the
State. Regardless of the nomina-,
tion and election of any one of
the leading candidates, the pop
ulace will have little to worry
about in the conduct of the ex
ecutive branch of the State gov
ernment, The Pilot is convinced.
However, if this newspaper
were inclined to declare itself
for any of the distinguished
Democrats offering themselves
for this highest State honor, it
might easily lean toward one,
for one reason: It seems to The
Pilot that one of the major is
sues before the people of North
Carolina at the present time is
the saving of the tobacco indus
try. And it is conceded that
Senator Gravely of Rocky Mount
knows more about tobacco than
any one of the other candidates.
This State’s tobacco crop is
This State’s tobacco crop is
greater in value than all other
crops combined. More farmers
are dependent upon tobacco than
on any other crop. The differ
ence of a few cents in the sales
price means millions to the
North Carolina grower.
When, last summer, foreign
buying on American tobacco
markets was suspended due to
the war. Senator Gravely was
one of three men to do some
thing about it. They went to
Washington and negotiated the
agreement on the part of the
government to purchase for for
eign account the amount of leaf
which it was estimated would
have been purchased for export
by foreign buyers. It was this
move which permitted the mar
kets of the tobacco belt to re
open. It saved the tobacco far
mer from ruin.
Senator Gravely now has a
constructive plan for the utiliza
tion of securities held in this
country by foreigners as collat
eral for foreign purchases of to
bacco of the 1940 crop. Without
foreign support, tobacco will sell
around ten cents a pound this
year, in the opinion of many
prominent agricultural leaders.
With foreign buying, it should
be over 20 cents. That difference
means everything to this state.
For without fair return from its
