"We have progressed in the making of fewer one-teacher schools, progressed in the types of buildings and in the personnel of teachers, but something we've lacked. Our compulsory attend ance law has not been enforced to the extent that many wayward hoys are travelling the roads who for lack of something better to do commit petty crimes If not serious ones. More people are en tered in penal institutions than ever go to institutions for higher education. In our schools, we have lacked the training, through our various fundamental studies, In molding our characters with which we deal. We must, if we expect the child to benefit even though he might not go to college, teach or instill those traits which go in the making of a real man. Teachers, let's give them thla consideration and with your in fluence in the schoolroom force them to grasp this character." Supt. Erwin was Introduced by Supt. W. R.

The candidate laughed. "I guess you are right", he said. "After i all, I'm more of a Democrat than I am a candidate." "It looks as if we soon will have more invitations for Mr. j Ho< y to speak than will be pos sible for him to accept," Manager, Olive said. "I don't know how we I are going to get them all in but. I can promise that we'll do the very best we can.'" Mr. Olive said he was giving his immediate attention to county i organization.

Brock way Make interesting Talks to Around Seven Hundred Farmers With a court bouse packed with farmerp from all parts of Frank lin County the tobacco growers of this county held a most inter esting mass meeting on Saturday I afternoon in the interest of the new tobacco sign-up or the possi ble control of the tobacco crop for 193S. At this meeting it was expected that Mr. E. Y. Floyd. State tobacco specialist, would be present and explain th*- - whole situation, but on account of having to be in Washington to i assist In the drafting and work ing out of the plans for and un der the new farm legislation he 1 could not be present. In his stead Mr. B. Troy Furgueon, Dis trict Agent, was present and made a most interesting talk, telling the farmers the import ance of crop control and reduc tion, and advising the sign-up of I the voluntary contracts. He also told them he could not make any explanation of the Nktional law now in process of becoming effec | tlve as he had not had the infor mation nor a copy and time to , study it. He went into some de tail in explaining the soil conser vation feature showing the many advantages in this, many farm ers could receive up to 140 an ' acre for tobacco land taken out of cultivation and $12.50 for cot jton land. M. T. Lamm, who as President of the Franklin County Farm Bu reau, presiding, made a strong appeal to fhe farmers to lay j aside prejudice and fear and loin i In co-operation towards better ing their own conditions by mak ing less crops and getting more for them. He said the indica tions point 'to a 900,000,000 pound crop of tobacco in North Carolina this year without con trol, when 640,000,000 is all it coult^hope to dispose of at an ad vantage. He presented Sen. E. F. Griffin who, calling attention to the stabilised prices on fruits and other commodities, explained how this was brought about by co-operation and organization, the same the Farmers in Frank lin could do with tobacco and cotton If they Would only co-op erate. He told them how all bus iness. except farming, kept lobby ists at leglsuatures and at Con gress looking after their interests and suggested it might pay the farmers to do likewise. He ad vised the curtailment of acreage and production and a strong co operation for better prices and conditions on the farm. Mr. K. J. Shaw, of the tobacco experiment department, told the farmers of the benefits they had received in the past and of what they could expect under existing conditions, if they would co-op erate. He said that during 1933 34-35 the farmers in Franklin County received $291,918.00 in benefit payments on tobacco and (261,814.00 on cotton and )1(0 on corn and hog. In i 13 3 6 they may expect to receive on to bacco $199,000.00 and cotton $104,000.00 for acres transferred to soil conserving crops. At this point Mr. Chas. J. Brockway. Executive Secretary to American Farm Bureau, was in troduced. He told the farmers that the only way for happy days to come to them and stay with them was for them to get the profit on what they make they are entitled to. He explained how the manufacturers of the many articles the farmer has to buy gets a profit on his goods, which is by co-operation, organi zation and a high tariff, how la bor gets its pay by organization and demands, and told them the only way for the farmer was to organize and fight co-operatively tor a fair return for their labors. The announcement of another meeting for the explanation of | the Soil Conservation contract and benefit payments was an nounced for Thursday afternoon, April 2nd, 1936. The members ot the several farm committees are expected to hold a meeting In the morning before the afternoon meeting. A TOte was called for the In terest of all inregard to the sign-up ot the temporary con | tract and practically all hands in I the house went up. "Two pennyworth of blear bon ? ate of soda for Indigestion at this i time of night!" cried the Infuriat ed druggist, who had been arous ed at 2 a.m., "when a glas of hot water would have done last as well!" "Well, weel," returned Mac . Dougal, "I thank ye for tha ad vice. and I'll no bother ye after all. Good njght."
