Sept 2.?Capt Lleudonne Coate and Maurice Belloate set down their bl [lane Queatlon Mark at this field to day after achieving a teat that hither to had defied every challenger?a non-stop flight from Paris to New York. The record-breaking craft with its rcoord-breaklng French crew rolled to a stop at 8:13 p. m. (E. S. T.) 37 hours and IS minutes after it had soared aloft from LeBourget to dare the perils of a north Atlantic cross ing. Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, who first biased the aerial trail between tbe two cities, made the distance in 33 hours and 29 minutes. But this was a "downhill" flight?because of tbe favonbls winds on a voyage eastward. Costs landed his plane Into a south west wind as skilfully as he had pit- I cited it through the barometric and magnetic danger spots which had brought other airmen to disaster or a forced stop short of their goal. Plane Circled Field. A crowd of 5,000 was on hand to witness the end of the daring ad venture. The scarlet plane, with its short under-wing and giant spreading up per wing, appeared in the lead of a large squadron of escorting navy craft, appeared so suddenly from a dark cloud that ah Involuntary cheer! arose. Lastly, the plane circled the field thrice as automobile horns and sirens: shrieked their welcome above tbe dln| ct human voices. . It was a gallic holiday. The wildly 1 excited French hoisted their own two' shoulders and marched triumphantly to a hangar in which waited many other admirers eager for a chance to cry their congratulations. Col. Lindbergh, who knew better than any other man what this was like, sat on the hangar top, smiling bioadly, but waiting for the first outburst to subside before he went forward to greet his fellew fliers. Meanwhile the fhird member of Ihe heroic trluvlrate?the pldne?was ta l-'Sn to guest quarters by mechanics and at last was beneath a root. The white question mark from the 'dark ted body had been answered?affir matively. Rene Recovert, Coste's American manager, was first to address him. "Felicitations", he said in French.

In Instances where high grades vere offered, warehousemen report d that they commanded good prices anging from IS to 22 1-2 cents a tound. So few piles were sold at :hese higher figures, however, that hey failed to bolster the general av irage. Sand lugs and first primings instituted the bulk of the day's of crings. Tarboro reported prices ranging from 2 to 25 cents, and also a mass nesting of tobacco growers pledging themselves and asking the coopera tion of all tobacco growers to boycott ill tobacco manufactured products until price condlitons for the raw ma terial under goes a favorable change.

By direction ot President Hoover, the Federal government has an ii cm need the allotment o( highway tunds to the several states (or the eoming year, so that the states htt by the great droaght may have posi tive information of what they will receive and be able to go to work this year without waiting; and thus afford employment where the dry .weather lias done Bs damage. North Carblina's share ot the 121 million dollars to be r.-ade available is $2,871,722, or prec . ticaily three million dollars. Wouldn't this be a good time, then. to start our agitation here for having the short route between Henderson end Louisburg improved by the tar and gravel treatment? We believe every one in Henderson and Lonle fcbrg and in Vance and Franklin counties will admit that the traffic over the road is sufficient to Justify a better type of highway than the present road is. It is approximately ten miles shorter between the two cities than the paved road around by I'ranklinton, and eliminates Just that much distance between not only these two communities, but also from Henderson to Rocky Mount, Wilson end other Eastern ..North Carolina c'ties and towns. As the Dally Dispatch has before pointed out. Commissioner Hill will t e more favorably Inclined to recom mend the work to the State Highway Commission if be knows the people concerned desire it than if our wants nnd wishes are kept to ourselves and never made known to him. We have In the past acquainted the commis sioner with our urgent needs and he lias been responsive to our appeala We believe he will turn a sympa thetic ear to the request at this time for Improving the Hendereon-Bpeom Loulsburg highway If the matter Is properly laid before him. With the largest sum North Caro lina has ever received in one year from the Federal government to be made available In the Immedate fu ture will have this money in sight with vhleh to project It's plans for the year's construction program. Now Is the time to put in our claim and to press It with all the vigor ot which we are oa pubis.?Henderson Dispatch.
