Attorney General Seawell,
after an extensive study, has :
decided that North Carolina
women are eligible for jury
duty without the passing of an
enabling statute.
A special session of Congress
is expected to be called to meet
about the loth of November.
When the Congress adjourned
it was intimated there would be
a special session, as all the ad
ministration's objectives had
not been disposed of.
Returning from his western
trip, the President, on Tuesday
in Chicago, roundly denounce. 1
the barbarous sacrifice of non
combatants being made by ag
gressor nations. Other nations
against the ruthless carnage
feel that he signified the United
States will help stop it and are
making overtures. It is per
fectly right to denounce in un
measured torms, bnt beware of
entanglements. We financed
a foreign war 20 years ago.
The Duke of Windsor, the
former King Edward who re
nounced the British throne for
the love of Wallis Warfield, the
Baltimore beauty, now the
Dachees of Windsor, will sail
on November 3rd for a visit to
her native land. They have
been living in Austria since
their marriage four months ago.
How long they will remain af
ter they come is not given out,
and so far as known there is
nothing urgent about their re
turning to Europe. If they like
enough to make a permanent
stay of it, all well and good.
Lately two of the State's fore
most newspapermen have passed
away.
On September 26th Robert
La than, editor of the Asheville
Citizen, died at his home in
Asheville. He was born at
York, S. C., May 5, 1881. Be
fore going to Asheville he had
be?n editor of the Columbia (S.
C.) State and the Charleston (S.
C.) News and Courier. In the
early 20's he won the Pulitzer
prize for writing the best editor
ial in the nation that year.
0 n September 27th J. P.
Rawley, publisher of the High
Point Enterprise, died at the
age of 51 years. He was at one
time connected with the Char
lotte Observer and the Greens- ]
boro Daily News. He made a
fine success of the Enterprise.
Mr. Rawley was co-publisher
of the Burlington Daily Times
News at the date of his death.
Mitchell county farmers have
cooperated to buy more than 200
tons of limestone during the last
few days.

Timely Farm Questions
Question? How often should male j
birds be changed in the poultry I
Dock?
Answer? ThiB, of course, depends
upon whether there is a danger or i
direct inbreeding. Where this hap- i
pens the rriale birds should be I
changed every year. Direct in- |
breeding lowers the vitality of the j
(lock and makes the pullets sus- j
ceptible to disease. However, a
good male may be used two a~ !
three years If there is no i n -
breeding, but it is always best
to introduce new blood lines in '
the Ilock every two or three I
years under any conditions.
Question? Should fertilizer be ;
applied to a lawn after planting? i
Answer? If the lawn has Just !
been seeded there is no need for j
any fertilizer application aa this
is always mixed in the soil be- ;
fore the see d are sown. For a
year tot tiro year old lawn an
application of JtO to 40? pounds
of a 1-10-1 mixture should be made
either during the winter or early
spring. The fertilizer should be
applied when the leaves are free
from rain or dew and, if possi
ble, Ju?t after a shower. These
annual applications are not usually
required after the lawq is three
yean old.
Question? Would yon advise
saving cottonseed this fall to use
aa feed for my livestock?
| Answer? No. Sell the CO ttonseed
and buy cottonseed meal ; if you
can get a desirable exchange, swap
the aeed for meal. The feeding
value of cottonseed is due to
its content of meal, hulls and oil
bat there is a lot of dirt, lint

Mr. Babson on
Chain Stores
Roger Babson recently devoted
his syndicated column to a search
ing analysis of the chain store
movement. He recognizes in chain
merchandising a modern distribut
ing invention, and believes that it
is as foolish to try to destroy
it as it would be to break up
power machinery.
He feels that the growth of
the chains has reached its peak,
in spite of the fact that indepen
dent retailers still outnumber the
chains 10 to 1? there are about'
1,475,000 "free lancers" as compared
with 140,000 chain units. Likewise,
he feels that the chains are ot
sound benefit to the consumer
and an essential asset to the
community, and points out that ;
"fair-minded consumers are aware
of the fact that chain stores leave
money in the community. Land -
lords know that as tenants, they
are extremely valuable."
Of every dollar received by
the chains. 97 cents Is immed -
iately thrown back Into circulation :
of the 97 cents, a large part goes
to local farmers and produc
ers. a sizable portion pays the
wages of local employes and the
balance goes for taxes, rent, local
advertising, and a score of other
"incidentals." Three cents is left
of the original dollar to cover in
terest on investment, depreciation,
and provide a profit for stock
holders!
Finally, Mr. Babsori concludes that
the chains have actually helped
the independent merchandiser ;
??'Alert unaffiliated retailers have
modernized their stores. They
are now using the same methods
by which the chains have sue -
ceeded Many have banded! to
gether to get the advantages of
large-scale central purchasing."
As a competitive form of mer
chandising rendering ? real service
to the public, the chain stores
are entitled to fair treatment the
game as independents? no more,

no le?8.

Public Servant Num
ber One?Electricity
The real purpose of any sourd
electrical power program, writes
Wendell L. Wfllkie, President of
the Commonwealth and Southern
Corporation, in the Atlantic Mon
thly, is to provide the public
with the most economical, efficient
[ service.
This, in the long run, will de
: termine the present power con
j troversy. There is no magic i n
government operation of industry.
There is no panacea in political
! control that will assure the public
maximum service at a minimum
cost.
j Judging from the record. en
tirely aside from any question o*
principle, the private power in
dustry has established a remark
ably strong claim to the title of
Public Servant Number One. Be
! tween 1913 and 1936, the general
[cost of living increased approxi
| mately SO percent. In the same
period, the cost of electricity de
clined 46' percent. Some 22 mil
lion families and farms in America
now enjoy the benefits of electric
service at an average cost of a
bout nine cents a day.
Few industries demand so large
a capital Investment as a utiliij .
Today a complete electric utility
of an average aize requires an
investment of about f 520 for every
customer served. The annual charge
for Interest, taxes. Insurance and
depreciation on this investment, ac
counts for approximately 65 per
cent of the entire cost of service.
The bulk of the remaining cost is
represented by labor, Thus a util
ity involving ? risk of tremen
dous sums of capital on which
there is a relatively small annual
return. Under state regulatory
laws, utilities are aflowed to make
a maximum profit of but 6 to
g percent. What industry doe*
more for so Bmall a return?
As the National Resources Com
mittee?appointed by the Pre* -
dent? has reported, "The future
power policy of this cduntry must'
be considered upon a fact-finding
basis, without prejudice) or passion,
and action must be taken slowly
aDd deliberately so as not to
hinder progress." The present
political effort to confuse the is
sue and to belittle all the great
achievements of the privatel utility
industry, is directly opposed to
the vast public interest involved.
