One more week will bring his total past the thousand mark. Meantime news dispatches from Houston, Texas, state that Johnny Fry, age 12, has been sitting in a tree 1,068 hours on August 29 and was still up. Johnny made the front page of the nev spapers when he dis covered a house afire near his tree and notified the neighborhood. He sat on through the smoke and re used to listen to pleas of his par ents to come down. At last reports he was still up. A copy of the Hou< ion Chronicle for August 29 set his mark at 1,068 hours. It now seems that Andy’s intention to sit for a thousand hours is not . nough if he wants a record. If the Houston boy is still up, he has at least 1,200 hours by now. Boys and girls but recently gradu ated from the pinafore class are perched in trees or atop polos in pub lic parks and playgrounds in all sec tions of the country. They are not viewing the scenery nor are they spying out land. They and the youth tul non-stop bicycle riders have been bitten by the craze for endurance re cords . Freak contests such as these seem to run in cycles. Every few years an unusual stunt by some professional seeking publicity fires the imagina tion of thousands of people and thus a large number jump into the game striving to emulate if not surpass the achievement. A decade ago •'harleston and Black Bottom danc-| ;pg was the rage. This was follow- I od by the dance marathon which be- | * a mo epidemic from Tangiers and i Timbuctoo to Paris and Nome until state, county and municipal author tics interferred with drastic police n gulations. In grandfather’s day it was con .'•idered quite a trick to oat a quail a day for 30 days and every now and then some daring soul stoked by a 1 feckless stomach, essayed the feat and gloried in the title of champion. With quails as scarce as they are now, this seems not only a harmless but perhaps a delectable pasttime. Records for Staying Aloft When the Hunter Brothers broke the aviation endurance record, West ern youths became ambitious to stay aloft as long as possible. Lacking airplanes th eexample of Alvin (Ship v. reck) Kelly ,pole-sitter occurred to to them. There was nothing to do but sit still. Hundreds of boys and girls immediately got into the game and many of them are at it today. In some sections the pole and tree sitters have been driven from the ••..irks and recreation grounds; but aided and abetted by proud parents, tnoy may do as they like on private premises. These youthful aspisrants ; ; e dividing attention with the bike riders. The latter craze has broken out persistently in New Jersey cities and towns. Newark .Hackensack, New Brunswick and Jersey City have teams grinding away in non-stop con tests that threaten to put to shame what only a few years ago was refer red tit os the “cruel" six-day profess ional 1 icyele races. These boys are everlastingly sticking to rickety sec < nd hand wheels for from six to ten and eleven hours a day each until re lieved by a partner. Some of them sleep a few hours out of every 24 in garages or sheds. The tree sitters may not know it, ’•nt they are up against a record that ' buses that of Shipwreck Kelly. Mr. r ily regards 28 days as a wonder ful performance, bul St. Simon Sty mies lived for more rhan thirty years atop a pillar—something of a mark to shoot at. vianuy f reak l hampions There is, apparently, no limit to the number of kinds of freak champions. Michael S. Petillo of Nutley, N. J.. •von a radio-listening contest this year on March 6, He listened con- | tinuously to a radio for 155 hours j without sleep, subsisting on black cof- ! fee and eggs and sustained* by the I knowledge that the prize money "■uld enable him to marry the girt ■ if his choice. Charles Drovo of Leroy ,N. Y., held * world’s raw egg eating champ ship with 40 raw eggs consumed in f've minutes, until Max Hinel of i'»os t i ate 75 raw eggs in ten minutes. Cud Reynolds of Columbus, Ohio, played the piano continuously for 105* hours. He fainted once during the performance, but was revived and re sumed playnig in eight minute-?. His bandaged finger tips were raw and his wrists and forearms swollen. Antonio Lenuzze , a Frenchman 1 iayed the violin continuously for ?G hours. He is said to have played mere than GOO pieces, ending with che Itali an Royal March and the Marseillaise. After establishing a beei drinking record by downing 17 glasses of the brew, amounting to 10 1-2 quaits, Donald Stephens of Colon ,C. Z., col lapsed. A row hours h.tcr he was able to sit up and cha'l mgo anybody to better his performance. i_aciarino .\azareno o i c.nicag.> claimed the eatch-as-catch-can spa ghetti-eating record after making away with seven feet of spaghetti per minute for 180 consecutive min utes, or 1,250 feet in three hours. In Detroit, Mich., a marathon dance had lasted 106 days when the local authorities stopped it with five cou I les still on the floor. The dancers rested 20 minutes in every hour. Other Strenuous Tests Harry Kantor of Bloomfield, N. J., burned out a bearing after eat;ng 80 red peppers and had to quit, but he won a prize of $50 and the “cham pionship.’ ’ Alverado Fernando established a marathon dance record in Berlin in 1*127 by remaining in motion 145 hours, except for 10 minutes rest ev ery hour. Gus Comstock, of Fergus Falls, Minn., gulped his way to the coffee drinking championship by drinking 85 cupfuls in 11 hours and 15 minutes.

Rosemary, North Carolina 1 Former representative Ernest Ack erman of Plainfield, N. J , has toted cn umbrella for 45 years as «re sult of a wager made w»Ut n friend in Liverpool. Eugeue Let-key, 15, of Brooklyn, set a new kite flying record of 48 hours on September 3, 1929. Mrs. H. B. Schmidt of Champaign, 111., claims the American record of 400 hours in a rocking chair. She “rocked” contiuously except for oc casional “cat naps.” Joseph De Virgilio of Boston walk ed on stilts from Boston to Providence 45 miles, in 12 hours and 2 minutes. The stilts were five feet long and weighed 15 pounds. Bill Williams of Hondo, Texas, pushed a peanut up Pike’s Peak with his nose. It took him 30 days and he von a bet of $500. Some of these records are authen tic; in others reliable data is missing. _n_ Association Paying 16 Cents For 1929 Cotton In State Approximately $200,000 will be dis tributed by the North Carolina Cotton Growers Cooperative Association within the next few days to members who delivered cotton of the 1929 crop to the seasonal pool of better grade 7-8 inch middlin, said vice president and general manager, U. B. Blalock, today. A basis of settlement has been agreed upon by the Association with the Federal Farm Board whereby members with cotton in the seasonal pool will get their premiums for grade and staple as was announced when the 10 cents per pound loan was put into effect last fall. The 10 cents per pound loan was later reduced to 15 cents and members who drew only ! 5 cents, basis middling 7-8 inch, will get an additional 1 cent per pound. Statements and settlement checks are now being made up in the Raleigh office of the Association and they will he released about the 15th or 20th of September when the money from the Federal Farm Board becomes available. Since the 9 cents per pound advance on middling 7-8 inch cotton of this ; season’s crop was announced a few j days ago by the American Cotton Co c perative Association, interest in the Cotton Growers Association has been very greatly stimulated. New mem bership contracts are coming into the Raleigh office of the Association without solicitation as if the delivery season were already under way. Sev t ral contracts have been received dur ng the past few days from producers v ho will deliver a thousand bales or more each. This is indicative, said vice president and general manager U. Benton Blalock, that farmers are not going to sacrifice their cotton at the present market levels. -□ Mrs. Hannah Gloran, 103, of Los Angeles, has declined to wear glasses Local Boy Finishes Business Training Course In Michigan Rufus G. Vick, Rosemary, is one of a group of 30 students representing 28 agricultural colleges in the United States and Canada, who were award ed a six weeks’ business training course at the Ralston Purina Co., St. Louis, Mo. and a 2 weeks leadership training course at the American Youth Foundation Camp, Shelby, Mich. Vick is representing the North Carolina State College. The first week of the course was spent at the experimental farm, Gray Summit, Mo., where the boys saw how new feeds are tested by college trained men. Mr. Vick states he was amazed at the care and accuracy with which these experiments are hand led. The boys were then put through a two weeks’ sales course. Classes in feeding, animal nutrition and sales manship were held during this period. The next three wdeks were spent working and studying in the various department; iff the ess. After attending the Leadership Camp in Michigan, Vick will return lu me before going 5-aciC t' college for M.ctl er year. n_ Plan Inter - City Tournament For Midget Golfers The latest development in the world of miniature golf is the announcement this week of an inter-city tournament to be staged by teams representing Enfield, Rocky Mount, Scotland Neck, Roanoke Rapids, Littleton and War renton. Managers of midget courses in each of these towns have arranged for one event to be played on their lo al greens, a silver loving cup being awarded the team or individual mak :.n the highest number of points.
