means of production credit as

the system on a sound basis they
can obtain funds at costs as low
as those available to any other
industry.
"Interest on loans made by the
association is payable when loans
are due and the borrower pays
5 per cent Interest only for the
time he actually has the money.
Each borrower is required to take
out Class B. stock in the associa
tion in an amouqt equivalent to
5 per cent of the loan when he
.gets his initial loan and may ob
tain new loans without purchas
ing additional stock.
"Thousands of farmers all over
the country are now stockholders
in production credit associations
and are thoroughly sold on the
idea of cooperative credit. We are
anxious that every farmer in this
section shall at least have the
opportunity of knowing of the
credit aervice that we offer and
we cordially invite all to our an
nual meeting."

Cadell, fake "O-Man" who ran a
way from Vance County two weeks
ago with Mrs. Robert Watklns,
wife of a farmer, was given a
hearing In recorder's court today
od a charge of abducting her and
was held for the January term of
superior court under $6,000 bond.
Cadell pleaded Innocent, but of
fered no testimony and was not
represented by counsel.
Mrs. Watklns testified 'Cadell
persuaded her to leave with him
and Sheriff J. E. Ham let t told of
arresting Cadell last Friday In a
Greensboro hotel where the
Couple were staying.
A federal agent was here today
and questioned Cadell, but would
not discuss whether federal
charges of impersonating an of
ficer would be brought against
htm.
' The day before he left here with
Mrs. Watkins, Cadell appeared at!
police headquarters, claiming to
be a federal Investigator, and had
police lock up two Itinerant show
men whom he said were connect
ed with the killing of Mrs. W. W.
Mason, wife of a storekeeper, at
Pine View on Thanksgiving Day.
The next day the innocence of the
two prisoners was established
and they were released.
i Since being returned here from
Qreensbora, Cadell has professed
to have some knowledge of th?:
Pine View killing, but Sheriff
Hamlett said he placed little cred
ence In the claims.
Mason told Harnett County of
ficers his wife was shot to death
by robbers, but a coroner's jury
ordered the storekeeper held af
ter an inquest.

The boy and girl Scouts of Mills
High School are competing to sell
the most Christmas Tuberculosis
Seals before Christmas-Eve. Both

they are fighting. Every seal sold.j

to some sufferer from sickness or
under nourishment.
Greet the boys and girls with|
encouragement and buy seals
from them, many of them.
The seals, decorative and pret
ty, enhance the value of cards,
letters and packages at Christ
mas time. They add. also, dignity
and thought.

seal on his gift, feels, that he
has done a good deed, and feels
better for it ? the recipient re
ceives it with more gladness ?
recognizing in the sender that j
human kindness, which makes
the world a better place to liye
in ? and so the influence spreads I

THIS WEEK IN WASHINGTON
Washington, December 10. ?
The resignation of George N.
Peek, because of his dissatisfac
tion with the new Canadian tariff
agreement. Is more serious than
appears on the surface. Mr. Peek,:
who was shifted frdm the AAA
to the State Department, because
of friction between him and Sec
' retary Wallace, has been one of
the storm centers of the Adminis
tration ever since the Spring of
1933.
Mr. Peek is recognized as an
authority on agricultural ques
tions, and while his point of view
on many phases of the Adminis
tration's agricultural policy is
quite different from the official
attitude, be Is regarded as havti\|
a large following among the far
mers of the Middle West, with
whom he has long been influen
tial.
In bis efforts in the State De
partment to promote the export
market for American agricultural
products. Mr. Peek frequently
found himself at odds with Secre
tary Hull's point of Tlew. Only
President Roosevelt's personal ap
peals kept him from resigning
tome time ago.
? t-fK nnu domison
The real reason why the Presi
dent's friends and supporters re-!
gret Mr. Peek's resignation is that
they fear he will "do a General
Johnson" on them. George Peek
and Hugh Johnson, former head
|of the NRA, are buddies of long
standing. Both were associated in
the agricultural implement busi
ness in Illinois, and both came
into the Administration with very
definite ideas of what ought to
be done and that they were the
ones who ought to do it.
Gen. Johnson is out, and is
traveling around the country mak
ing speeches and writing articles
attacking the New Deal, although
lie professes great personal loy
alty to the President himself. Mr.
Peek has not intimated that he
intends to do anything of the
same sort, but the fear that he
will use his influence with Mid
Western farmers against the Ad
ministration is widespread among
the President's loyal supporters.
The National Debt
Secretary of the Treasury Mor
genthau's announcement the oth
er day that the national debt of
the United States will rise above
30 billion dollars by the middle of
this month is not regarded, here
as so alarming as the Opposition
! spokesmen profess to believe.
While there seems to be a mystery
as to the "eminent bankers" who,
the President said a few days ago,
told him that the United States i
! could easily carry a Government
debt of 55 billion dollars, there
is a definite feeling among the
financial and economic Advisers
of the Administration that a 30
billion dollar debt, or even one
considerably higher, is nothing to
worry about.
Sooner or later most of the
Government debt will be refund
ed at from 2 to 2% percent, so
that the tax burden of interest
would amount to less than 3-4
of a billion a year, and that is
not an alarming expense.
The Town send Plan
One of the big fighting issues
that is expected to occupy a good
deal of time in Congress when It
meets next month Is the Town
send plan for old age pensions for
everybody over 60. As advocated
by the Townsendites, it probably
has no chance, but it will have
such a show of voting strength
behind it that there is an excel
lent chance that Congress will be
influenced to increase materially,
the old age allowances under the
Social Security Act. and to make
them applicable immediately in-1
stead of in the more or less dis
tant future.
In the field of Presidential j
politics great interest is being'
shown here over the rise of Gov
ernor Alf Landon of Kansas to
first place among Republican Pre-!
sidential choices. The belief gains
ground that Senator Borah, this
time, is in dead earnest about
wanting to "be the Presidential
nominee of his party. The strong
est opposition he will have to
overcome will be that of ex-Presi
dent Hoover, who is neutral, so
far, on all the other prospective
candidates, but very much again3t
Mr. Borah.
Tho Hoover Situation
WashiiiKton is slowly becoming <
convinced that Mr. Hoover has no
intention of offering himself as
a Presidential candidate again,
but that he intends to see to it
that nobody who does not con
form to his ideas gets the nomin
ation. if he can possibly control
the situation.
The Republican National Com
mittee is to meet here on Decem
ber 16. R. B. Creager, National
Committeeman from Texas, has
proposed that the Committee at
tempt to write a platform which
will satisfy everybody, including
the beneficiaries of the AAA.
There is not much chance that
the Committee will do anything
of that kind, but the fact that
the suggestion has been put for
ward indicates^ the tendency a
mong the Opposition leadership
to grasp at straws, and demon
strates that there is as yet no
clear agreement on Republican
Party policies.

Drunken Drivers
The following was taken from a
news article in the Greensboro
Daily News by W. Tohi Bost, on
Dec. 9th:
Kaleigh, Dec. 8. ? Dry territory
furnished five of the nine drunk
en drivers deprived of their licen
ses to drive automobiles reported
In the latest list furnished the
papers by the department of rev
enue.
There were 10 such autorao
bilists who are given the state's
black eye. The habit of the depart- (.
ment of revenue is to report only
those drivers who have been ad
judged guilty in the courta. The
latest list starts with November
15 and goes through December
3. Nine of the offenders were
drunken drivers one was a hit
and run.
Greensboro gains an unhappy
eminence. It furnishes four of the
drunken drivers and the one hit
and gunner. An apparent con
spiracy against dry territory is
found in these later statistics.
Greensboro is dreadfully dry. The
county voted 5,248 for the re
peal delegates and 13,017 against
the repealers. There is no evil
communication to corrupt good
manners. Guilford does not bound
Virginia anywhere and it is about
45 miles from any county or state
line within which legalized liquor
is sold. It. is so far from taw that
it is. inescapable that the liquor
which puts wheels in the drivers'
head is prohibition, alias anti- *
repeal liquor.
