A de scendant of one of the pioneer fami lies of the upper Cape Fear, Mrs. Pat terson was born and bred at the old plantation home in Bladen county, the land having been ceded by royal grant.

Mias Ophelia Gilmore of St. Paul, Farmers Take Decided Stand on Vital Matters Endorse 8-Months' Schoot Term and CaH for Changes in System of Taxation and Primary Lawe—Sur-j pins Pieaaes Governor. MANY ITEMS OF INTEREST j (By M. L. Shipman) Raleigh, August 2.—The decided stand taken by the Fanners conven tion on Schools, taxes and primary laws, the pronouncement of Governor McLean on various subjects and the much-needed rain were matters of in terest dunng the week just ended iR. Raleigh. A Dangerous Situation. Governor McLean, talking for the first time since his administration opened on international subjects, gave newspapermen some of his concrete ideas with reference to our foreign af-! fairs. The Governor is concerned over the growing hostility to Americans as shown in recent Paris demonstrations and in England, and he feels that it is a dangerous thing the end of which he can ot foresee. He believes these nations have gotten to a viewpoint of owing money and not being able to pay and then getting sore on the creditor nation. From a standpoint of' the South, he feels concellation of the war debts would be best but does not feel the sentiment of the people is for it. He thinks such cancellation; would open markets to the surplus of the cotton and tobacco crops and in this way the condition of Southern; farmers would be helped, and this would naturally react favorably in other businesses. On the subject of foreign credits Mr. i McLean feels that if the farmers: could arrange to extend Europe credit on a twelve month period so that na tion could buy raw goods, manufac-! ture and begin to realize on them be fore paying that the economic situa tion would improve. He points out that. Europe has to sell in South America; and other countries on a 12 to 24 month time basis but has to pay on short time which is practically cash, and not having the cash is not able to purchase. Mr. McLean deplores the agitation in Britain for payment of; the carpet bagger bonds of North Car-] olina and points out that this subject; has been up time and time again and it has been shown there is no moral) or legal claim on North Carolina to] pay these bonds. The Governor travelled to Blowing Rock during the week, where two of his children were in summer camp. He made the trip there and back in one day. It was a strenuous trip, but he enjoyed the outing. Surplus Pleases Governor. The surplus in the State's general j fund is pleasing to the Governor who] feels that the State is now on a sound financial basis and has unlimit ed credit in New York as a result. The surplus is in excess of a million and a quarter dollars, part due to the economy of the administration and part due to prosperity which brought in more taxes. It is a great victory for the Governor, who promised if given the executive budget he would run the State on a business basis without any more deficits. Farmers Have Good Convention. The State Farmers^ convention meeting here brought together 2,000 farmers and their wives, and they en dorsed the eight months school term, Continued on Page Five Services at Christian Church Tonight.
