Cotton Mills Raise Workers’ Pay ■Raleigh, May 8.—Upward trend in levenues synchronizing with the ad vent of beer is remarked by officials and by visitors from other states here today. They do not agree that beer has revolutionized the world, but they concur with Pre.-ident Roosevelt’s last night speech that beer has put .ome idle persons to work. 1 oday I he state department of revenue gave out figures that beer brought IT- during iU- first week $00,000 in tate revenue.

C., May 8.—More than 9,000 employes in 20 piedmont South Carolina textile mills were given 10 per cent wage increases today, reflecting better business con ditions and “appreciation for the loy alty” of the worker.s. Mills here and in Greenwood, Ninety Six, Woodruff, Renfrew, Lib erty, Simpsonville, Easley and Foun tain Inn were affected by the in creases. Meanwhile, other mill officials were adding workers to the factory rolls while still others contemplated “wage adjustments.” Over the week-end the Green wood, Mathews, Panola Number 1 and Grendel mills at Greenwood and tile Ninety Six mills at Ninety Six announced the increase. Today additional annotmeement were made by the Brandon corpora tion here for the Brandon and Poin- .sott m'Hs here; the Renfrew at Ren frew and .the Brandon corporation ■plant at Woodruff. The Wood'side mills with plants here, in Simpson- ville and Fountain Inn and the Eas ley mills with two plants at Liberty and one at Easley also increased their employes’ pay. Late today officials of the Victor Monoghan mills said their five plant; w'ould immediately increase w>ages of employes, but the amount of the increase -was not specified. The Woodridge and Easley of ficials in ■' announcing the increase said: “This increase is not based so much on earnin.gs but to show our appreciation for the loyalty of our help. They stood by us without a murmur and we planned to remem ber them as soon as we could do so. We are doing that now and, on the prospect of better times, we can announce th’s wafre increase. Officials' of the Judson mills here said a number of epiployes had been recalled to work during the past few days and that orders were piling up W. J. Bailey of the Clinton mill ;a’d, when asked about wages in his mills: “We will have to wait and ! see -how long this prosperity lasts We only hope that it is not a flasb_ in the pan. It looks like the genuine thing, but only time will tell.” Mill managements in other sec tions said bu-iness is improving.- F OK the first time in his tory, man will reach into the far expanse be yond the solar system to harness the energy of a star for the opening of a great exposition, when Chicago’s 1933 World’s Fair—A Cen tury of Progress—launches its spectacular lighting dis play on the night of June 1. The theme of the Exposition —that of man’s progress by the application of science to industry — will thus be truly symbolized with history-mak ing ceremonies, in which the Star Arcturus, 240 trillion miles distant from the earth, or 40 light years, will actually throw switches controlling amazing combinations of light. That science can delve into the vault i| of heaven for the impulse necessary, ■will challenge tiie imagination of throngs assembled for the opening, or who will listen, to national rad'io broadcasts. Here will be dramatized the advancement made by science dur ing the past century, and perhaps forecast wonders to be revealed in the future. Arcturus was singled out from the heavenly galaxy as the guiding star of the Fair due to its historical sig nificance in the march of events in Chicago’s progress. Rays that left the star 40 years ago, at the time the World’s Columbian Exposition ofiened, have been traveling through space, 186,000 miles a secrfnd, and will reach Chicago at the very time A Century of Progress opens its gates to the world. Scientists Co-operate 'Foremost scientists and engineers, working with four astronomical ob servatories in various sections of the United States, have made possible this amazing demonstration of mankind s triumph over space and time. Months of research, the construction and ad justment of delicately sensitive instru ments, have gone into the working out of plans. Technicians and engineers of the Genenal Electric Company and \\ est- inghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company have been co-operating for months in completing arrangements. Hr. Edwin B. Frost, former director of Yerkes Observatory at Williams Bay, Wis., one of the greatest of hv- iiw astronomers, conceived the idea that it would be entirely possible to capture the rays of Arcturus for the unique Fair opening. Acting upon his suggestion, spon sors of A Century of Progress called together a distinguished group of sci entists and astronomers. Otto Struve, now director of Yerkes Observatory, Harlow Shapley, director of Harvard Observatory, Cambridge, Mass.; Rob ert Baker,' director of University of Illinois Observatory at Urbana; and Frank C. Jordon, director of the Uni versity of Pittsburgh Observatory at Allegheny, Pa., were enlisted to enact this dramatic event. .-Arrange Broadcasts Genei.al Electric engineers have agreed to be responsible for installa tion of the necesary equipment at Yerkes and Harvard Observatories, while Westinghouse will take control of the demonstration at the Allegheny and Urbana oliservatories. Transmis sion of the star impulse will be over the lines of the Western Union Tele graph Company. Engineers have also arranged for a-mitional radio broad cast of the opening ceremonies. The program is scheduled to get under way at about 9:15 p. m., East ern Standard Time, when all four tele scopes will point their lenses toward Arcturus. The beam will tlien be fo cused on a tiny photo-electric ceil at the “eye end’’ of the instruments, where i't will be amplified and trans mitted over communicating telegraph lines to receiving -ppaxatus on tho Exposition grounds. In each observatory a photo-electric tube and ampli-i'-.idmn -equipment will be provided to operate a relay closing circuit in the ph lino. A radio broadcast r- - icr tuned in to tho E-xposilion opening prog'am, wilt no tify the operato’- *hen ’o allow his telescope to pr i the star’s light on the electric ye, -.ho impulse of which will close his local circuit to the wire. Acting as liaison officer betwccii tho various agencies is Dr. Philip box, director of Adler Planetarium. Location of Star To locate the star ia the summer evening skies is a simple matter, h irst find the Great Dipper constellation, and follow the curve of its “handle’ for about the same distance as the handle and there will be seen a bright ly glowing star, Arcturus, which is at the lower end of tho kite-shaped con stellation Bootes. Facing the north, the sky-gazer will also observe the brilliant conjunction of the crescent Moon, Jupib-r and Mars, to tlie we.st of Arcturus ;d)ont the same, distance that star )>«• .roin the top of the Big Dipper.

No one was reported injured. The storm wa-- follo-wed by a heavy hail and rain which report.s said “practically ruined” cotton, corn and fruit trees in the affected area. Trees were uprooted, a number of untenanted buildings demolished and the roofs of at least three dwell ing torn off. W’indow panes in homes and plate glass in stores were blown out. For the most part however the wind roared across farm lands, skirting -villages and habitatec centers. Raleigh, Mav 9.-A ;-econd call for recruits in the Civilian Conser vation Corps asking for 1150 addi tional men was received today by the Governor’s Office of Relief from the Secretary of Labor. Seven hun dred and eighty of this number will be drawn from the 19 countie.s em bracing the Asheville Army recruit ing area and they began report ing to Asheville on Wednesday and will continue to report daily at the rate of 165 each day until the en tire quota has been exhausted. The remaining 370 of the 1150 will be drawn from counties embrac ing the Winston-Salem district and will perhaps be called late next week. The counties from which the new recruits are to be drawn, together with the number from each county and the date on which they are asked to report follows: Thursday, May 11: Madison, 28; Henderson, 56; Haywood, 58; Polk, 24. Friday, May 12; Rutherford, 61; McDowell, 40; Y’ancey, 28; Cherokee, .36. Saturday, May 13: Avery, 26; Caldwell, 50; Macon, 30; Jackson, 36; Mitchell, 22. Monday, May 15:- Burke, 55; Gra ham, 14;' Clay, 18;- Swain, 21; Tran sylvania, 17. Relief directors in the various counties have been asked to have their recruits undergo a preliminary physical examination before they are sent to Ashevlle. In the event they pas.s the final examination which will be given at Asheville they will then be sent to Fort Bragg for two weeks of physical condition ing after which they will proceed to some one of the various working camps in Wester North Carolina. There has been little winter-kill ing of small grain noted in Pied mont Carolina this season and wheat especially is growing well. Of the 33,000 acres of cultivated land in Burke County, 31,000 acres are being used for food and feed crops this season, says R. L. Sloan, county agent. 217 Jackson Street, Hampton, Va., April 27, 1933. Editor Johnstonian-Sun; Streaming headlines, protest, and lashing ridicule resounded through out the land following the event of Mrs. Hoover entertaining the wife of a negro lawmaker, De Priest, at tea. Every Democratic paper, and every Democrat in the land sent up a howling protest and denunciation of the action of Mrs. Hoover. The\ called the Hoovers and the Repub lican party Negro lover-, as tne Democrats have always been prone to do. Yet, when Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Wife of the present Dem ocratic Pre.rident of this nation of white people, ran through her list of Glee Clubs to sing for the State Dinner, given at the White House, Wednesday night, Apjril 26th, she must have had the Hampton Insti tute Glee Club, a Negro outfit, at the top of the list. Re,gardle=s of the great number of white colleges, and universities that are a credit to this great coun try, and a symbol of true American ism, it seems strange that the “Proverbial White Demociats should ignore all these great clubs and ceremoniously invite this gang of Negro performers into the na tion’s shrine to .entertain them selves and the notable gentlemen from abroad. As a born and bred Republican who is not a negro lover, it makes my blood boil when I read of and know of such a procedure. It is re- aly a deplorable condition when the Negro is given such preference in the national social affairs. Those of you, “White Democrats” who sung so loudly, the monstrous crime of one Negro woman being entertained in the White House, can now take up' the chorus and sing of the Roosevelts and their choice of a Negro Glee Club to entertain in the White House. Look, and see how many of the Democratic papers put Mrs. Roose velt on the spot as they did Mrs. Hoover. Lister, and hear all the white Democrats censure and ridi cule her to the limit. No, you won’t hear or see a word against it. They will close up tight as -a clam.
