Senator Defends
Our Way Of Life
Speaking in Charlotte recently,
Senator Claude Pepper, able Demo
cratic United States Senator from
Florida, defended the American and
British way of life against the philos
ophy of totalitarian nations and de
clared that Americans "are willing
to lay down their economic resources
as an obstacle to Hitler and his cruel
petty, back-stabbing satellite Mus
solini." Should Hitler defeat "brave,
courageous Britain," Popper In Id a
patriotic rally, the United States
would find herself with "no big
army, no adequate navy, hoping
against the dictates of common sense
that in some manner we might be
spared." He predicted that if Ger
many should conquer England, Hit
ler would not wait five years for this
country to build a great navy but
would challenge this country almost
at once.

Brighter Outlook
For Sweet Potato
With a sizable decrease in produc
tion forecasted and with greater ac
tivity well advanced in the steel
producing areas where it is a vital
food in the dinner pail, there is good
reason to believe that the sweet po
tato will command a good price on
the markets this fall and winter
Last year prices ranged from 85 to
95 cents a bushel on the Williamston
market, litis year, farmers are ex
pecting an increase in their income
from the potato.
While August rains resulted in a
substantial improvement in the
prospects for the crop, production
will fall about 7.446,000 bushels be
low the 1939 harvest in the United
States, according to reports releas
ed this week by the agriculture de
partments.
Arrangements for maintaining a
market in Williamston again this fall
are now being made.
Smaller Corn Crop /s
Forecasted In State
The 1940 corn yield of 18.5 bush
els in this State is expected to be
less than last year and the lowest
since 1936 Estimated total produc
tion of 45,158,000 bushels is 6 per
cent less than last year's crop but
6 per cent above the 1929-38 aver
age crop. The reduced corn yield is
attributed to the dry, hot weather the
latter part of July when the crop
was in the crucial maturing stage;
however, prospects increased three
per cent during August.
