Stevens, Inspector for the Government Crop Production Loan office, writes concerning loans in Franklin County as follows: "Tp those Citizens of Franklin County who were fortunate enough to secure a loan from the Crop Pro duction Loan Office tbla year: Per mit me to say that I have Just spent a few days in Washington. While there it was my privilege to discuss with those in authority the condi tions as now exist in Franklin. Those in great need and the distress situation was especially emphasized in my discussions. "It is the outstanding desire of those In authority that everything possible be done for the people ic pressing need. If aby borrower has failed for reasons beyond bis control to produce sufficient crops to repay bis loan and In addition there to enough to supply the needs of his family, then that borrower may rightfully expect leniency. On the other hand If that borrower has not been faithful in his efforts' and' Can not show clean hands In the disbur sing of the funds entrusted to him then that borrower has no reasons for asking leniency. "Franklin County has shared more largely In the distribution of funds by the Crop Production Loan Office than any other County in North Carolina. It behooves every citizen of this County to encourage the paying back of this money. It is a well known fact that it required very hard work on the part of onr representatives In Congress to get such beneficial measures passed. Our own Congressman would be highly delighted to know that Franklin County was doing its best to repay this money. "I do not know that there will be another loan made in 1933, but I do know that it such a loan is made, those Counties where a de termined effort is made to repay the 1932 loans, will have the prefer ence. "I am satisfied that there is much need in Franklin. I feel it is an outstanding privilege to aid in the work in this County. I do know that great numbers of people in Franklin are making sacrifices to make restitution of the money bor rowed. There are many people who could pay who are not making any effort to pay. There are Borne peo pl who cannot pay in full. There is scarcely any one who cannot re pay part of the money loaned. __ "It Is my purpose to visit every portion of Franklin County. It is my great desire to help those In dis tress. My special commission is to ask leniency tor those who honestly need aid. To that end I absolutely demand to know the truth and [that the Individual has clean hands. "I shall be in Mr. Taylor's office In the First National Bank Building each Saturday."

This, It is understood was cashed and got by. The second was for $107.00 which failed to cledr, but Is outstanding. The third was for $146.00, and was frustrated, the party escaping.
