Cotton Loan May Be Disappointing lOotton Co-op Offers Loans ,-\Vtth No Kt'sl riot ions Which .May Be Switched to Government Plan Later If Desired Bal'eigh, Aug- 31. ? Fear that a j aTge portion of the farmers In Xorth Carolina will not be able to Set the full nine-cent/ loan under the government plan was ex pressed here yesterday by II. G. Mann, general manager of the Xorth Carolina Cotton Growers Jooperative Association. The regulations provide for the :ull loan only upon middling 7r8 \otton or better and also make it lecessary for . growers to comply Ivfrli whatever acreage control* urogram .may be announced for 1938. "Ewen if the cotton grades on ] y slightly below middling, the farmer can get ^ loan of only , 7 3-4 cents per pound," Mr. Mann I said as he pointed out that con inued rains may result in a large port ton ^of tte &orth Carolina crop grading below middling. Mr. Mann said that from his study of the regulations the plan Ail) place i'(i a "precarious posi cion" the lending agencies, for should the cotton be taken over by the government at a later date and declared by Commodity Cred it Corporation classers not up to -life grade or staple set by the, lending agency, then t'his agency j would have to make gopd the dif z'erence. Mr." Mann said that the Cotton I Association is prepared to lend i . Vi" cents per pound upon cotton vith no restrictions and at an in erest rate of four per cent. He uid that ul ready many growers d efcpreased themselves as plan ding to take the Association loan, >tore their cotton, and then at a j atet: date decide whether or not I hey wanted to secure the govern I nent loan or subsidy payment. | fhe Association will also be pre I lared to make the government I ioan. The government regulations give the grower until July 1, 1938 ? ten months? from today? in which to market his cotton' and still get .the subsidy payment. "Many of our members have ex pressed themselves as preferring to withhold decision about com pliance with the acreage control plan until Congress has met and :he regulations enacted and made public," Mr. Mann said. "We will be prepared to handle cotton for these growers in our regular pools and then if they decide at a later date to comply, we can either get them the .government loan or if they order their cot-ton sold be fore July 1, 1938, we can arrange for them to get the full subsidy payment from the government." The Cotton Association favored a straight 12-cent loan and sen'j resolutions to Secretary Wallace and the chairmen of both the sen ate and house committees on ag riculture to this effect' when the government plan was first consid ered.

Declines Judge's Room Proposal The Board of Couuty Commis sioners of Franklin County held a special meeting in their office in the Court House Saturday at which all members were present. The question of allowing thu Judge's room on the second floor of the Court House to he used 'as office for the ABC Board was discussed. Resolutions from ! -h e Franklin County Bar Association were "read and the matter dispos ed of by an order not to allow the rooms to be used for other than purposes intended. A motion prevailed that- the County would follow the Town of Louisburg in exempting the Franklin County Fair from taxes. < An order prevailed transferring tlo.OOO from the General Purpose t'ut)d to the Debt Service fund in accordance with the budget' adop ted the first Monday , in August. , No other matters of importance coming, before the Board it ad journed Tobacco Selling Well Wendell, Sept. 1. ? After a suc cessful opening Thursday, August 26 of the local tobacct) market, sales for this week got off t.o a fine start-, Monday, August 30th when both more pounds than closing day last week Were sold and higher prices were received. Kxf>c riencing a favorable break .Monday, despite. the bad weather and th>! late curing season, 'Wen Jell soJd approximately 73,000 pounds of tobacco at an average price of $L'3.7t> per pound, which represents an average" comparing with that- of any other market and an increase of about $3^0$ per , hundred over the .price pre vailing Friday. * Local / warehousemen, govern ment graders and tobacco buyers ascribe the increase- in prices to the better quality of tobacco com ing in this week. The medium and poorer grades last week sold from live t'O eight cents' higher than a year ago wjlile this week the price of good tobacco also jumped up five or more cents higher than lust season. With no blocked sales, all the warehouse floors were clear and ready late today for a completely fresh beginning tomorrow. With added space and additional facili ties t'his year, local warehouse men, believe that they can handle most any probable amount of to bacco with no weed remaining on tile floor until nest day. Local tobacconists were opti mistic at i the beginning, especial ly as a result of Monday's sales, and they were predicting both a continuing rise in price and the week during the present week. Some were predicting an increase to 25 or 26 cents per pound while all were agreed that prices were due tot- .a steady climb upward. P. T. A.

Miss Athlea Boone w^is a visi tor to Durham Tuesda^; " Louis Holds Championship o New York, Aug. 31. ? Joe Louis still has his heavyweight cham pionship, and he also has a new and round-eyed respect for Tom-, my Far. So have 37,000 fans who sat in ['the lights and shadows of Yankee Stadium last night and watched the old carnival fighter, half blinded at the finish, jab and jim my it out with the alleged Negro thunderbolt for 15 rounds. Although the hotheads in the Mall probably are assuring each other ovjr tjte matutinal scotch and splash that a Britisher hasn't a chance of winning anything in America, there wasn't much doubt that the Brown ex-Bomber deserv-. ed the decision. '? He -did, as badly scared- as he' looked in spots. In fAct, he. looked as dumb as a dime detective most of the evening and he took a lot of fancy punches, first and last. He nfcver learned how to fight Farr. Yet he was the better man, and Tonypandy Tommy will be the last to deny it. Decision Booed ? Tommy didn't deny it last night even as he sat and tried to look out between battered eyes and listened to the "raspberries" that echoed and re-echoed across Yan kee Stadium after Louis had been declared the winner. Farr is a big man in the boxing game today, even though a loser. He can stay around ? as he plans to do ? and make himself a lot of money. He put up a great fight against a foeman who was expect ed to knock him spraddle-legged, and when his b<J5t --wasn't good enough he accepted defeat like a soldier. -? At that, it must have been a thrill for the hard-boiled battler from the desolate mining district <if Wales. No fighter who ever came to these shores received a sorrier reception. He was. tabbed strictly a secondrater, a fighter who didn't belong in the same ring with the ebon assassin, LoOis. He must, have felt good last night when, after he had given his stout-hearted best for 15 rounds, he groped his way toward the dressing room through thousands of Americans demanding the blood of referee, judges and anybody else who thought Louis had won. But it didn't fool Tommy. Hp knew he had tried and failed, and he wasn't sore at anybody. The fight-writers expected him to rail at the decision, and to castigate them for the things they'd -writ-ten about him. Tommy didn't do eith er. He looked out between eyes that were swollen almost shut and said simply: "I gave them a good go, didn't 'If Tommy. Ohen and there, made himself a lot of friends." ' ' Story By Round* Referee Arthur Donovan credit ed the Welshman with only two rounds, just to show you how dif- ? f.erently they can see things This observer thought' Farr won t'ive rounds, that Louis won eight, and that there wasn't anything in the . other two. The spectators from ten rows on back thought Fare won the championship, by a cotiii^ try mile. It just goes to show. This much is certain: the old carnival scrapper put up a whale of a fight; he carried the carnage 'to Louis most of the way, and he undoubtedly would have won by a knockout, if he had possessed a right hand wallop to compare with Schmeling's. It's also true that Louis, though he was puzzled at Tommy's style all the way and was hurt and badly frightened a couple of times when Farr clouted him, had what' it took, to collect himself and jab out a victory with his left. There wasn't a knockdown. In the fifth round, after the crowd had done some booing, Louis whipped over a quick right tio the jaw and followed with a left that staggered Farr, but the bell saved the Welshman from serious trouble. Those wfere perhaps the most damaging blows of the fight. Farr hurt Louis with several rights, but the Negro never look ed like he was going down. BELIEVE IT OR NOT Due to the fact that maybe everyone did not want to read the whole list of young men and wo men who received their licenses to practice law, we are glad to an nounce to the public that Mr. "Jack" J. F. Matthews, who has been connected with Mr. Chas. P. Green, was among tihe l*st. THAN KS ' < We acknowledge with grateful appreciation the many and thoughtful kindnesses of neigh bors and friends in t<he recent ill ness and death of our mother and sister, The family ot Mrs. George H. Cooper. M. B. Sasser, who has opened a new furniture store In Frank linton, was accompanied by Mes srs. A. B. Wester, Jr., H. H. Ut ley and W. H. Green to Higti Point, to buy furniture. _
