Fanaers Coarca Hdleigh, August 2—Musica] and cf fective hog-catling is not a lost art asUOUg the farm folks of North Caro linaif the performance of the 52 con testants in this feature event at the State Farmers' Convention last week ten real indication. Great volumes of sound, punctuated by appealing lower tones and convinc facial expression were used by each of the contestants. So realistic did the callers make their efforts that the 1,500 observers gathered in front of Pullen hall began to look around apprehensively fearing that perhaps a great herd of swine would come rush ing over the campus and sweep them from their feet. !t was impossible for the judges to select the three prise winners at the first trial held at midday on Wednesday, July 28, so a second contest was held for the ten selected in the first occasion. At the second contest, a greater crowd had gathered. The news had gone abroad over Raleigh that there were some real hog callers at the col. lege and the visiting farmers were joined by a great number of town peo ple^ The final selection was announc ed at the evening meeting and J. C. Nichols of Durham was awarded first prise of $25 as the champion caller of the convention. Second prize of $15 Was won by J. H. Sprinkle of route 7, Winston-Salem, and tt.ird prize of $1$ was awared to H. G. Bundy of Elisabeth city . The officials of the convention stated that this contest brought a new not# of informality and fun into the convention proceedings and the farmers themselves voted that it must become an annnual event. The ladies, not to be neglected in such /m, made a request that, next year, prizes be offered for successful chicken callers. Tbit fuad of $50 used as prizes for the contest was donated by the American Limestone company of Knoxville, OLD BONDS BOB AGAIN McLean Says No l^cgal or 4§ora! Obligation Rests on North CanoHata to Pay These f radulen! Recewstruf!ion Bonds. OUvcrnor M Lean ; as noted "in . dtspatches from London in c h ] with the agitation for the cancellation of the British debt to the United States, ' that the sugges tion has been made that Soutnem reconstruction bonds, in ludrng those of North Carolina should be allowed by the United States as an eftset rn the reduction of the British debt.' "There is absolutely no legal or moral obligation on the part ot the State of North Carolina to pay these bonds, and this has oeen mane plain every time the opportunity has been presented," Mr. McLean asserted. The Governor said that-tne oonds referred to are tie old "special tax bonds which purport to nave been issued by the Reconstruction legis lature composed of carper-baggers Who were at that time quartered up Og^Abc people of North Carolina by the Federal government when the y^bgle of the State were helpless and wider control of Federal troops." British subjects hold approximate ly $12,800,000 of these "so called -bonds of North Carolia alone," the Governor is informed. Jdr. McLean believes, states an A. P. distpatch from Raleigh, there is no moral obligation resting ' anywhere for the payment of these old special tax bonds, because the circumstances under which they purport to have been issued made them void from the beginning, yet tf any moral oblige tion exists, it does not rest up n the State of North Carolina."

A breath of the early fa!! breeze as this !itt!e article is being written fi!is us with the thoughts that it wi!! soon be time for our schools to open. The Phi!ade!phus high school, so dear to the hearts of a great number, of boys and gir!s of Robeson county who have secured their preparatory education here, wi!! open its doors for the fa!! term Sept. 7th. We are now ready for business. It took time and a great dea! of care and discrimination to secure a faculty j for the coming year that we wou!d be proud to introduce to our patrons as thorough!;* prepared guides for their chiidren. Seven states wi!! be represented by {he facu!ty; two ho!d high-school principal's certificates; six have class j * A" certificates; the others have class *'B" certificates. A!! are college train ed. AH haw had experience and spe cialized in the branches they wi!! teach at Phi!ade!phus. A!! are mem bers of one of the protestant churches and are anxious to forward the work of the Master. Om* sehoo! board of trustees is com posed of a group of men who are anxious to equip our schoo! second to none of the great rural high schools of the State. Your boys and girls wi!! f;nd here everything that pertains to health, comfort and happiness. Each, large class room is we!! ventilated, steam heated, shades to regu!ate the iigirt, comfortable individual desks, a!! charts and maps required. Hun dreds of dollars of new equipment will be added to the scientific and labora tory departments for the coming year. The new automatic pump furnishes the purest of running water. Reaiizing that a modern school that does not make especial preparation for the recreational periods is a dead number, we have secured the best equipment for all the major games. Our school owing to its greatly in creased average daily attendance and to new equipment which is constantly added has been raised a letter in its rating this year. If you would like to know about the j school spirit of Philadelphus—just ask any boy and girl attending school here, i They will tell you that no other school compares with it. All schools thatj have such a spirit need have no fears for the future. We cordially invite all patrons and friends to attend the opening Septem iber the 7th. Norris indicted for Murder.

Farmers Convention Resolutions Raleigh, July 29.—Courageous and scentific study of taxation by which the farmers of the state wii] be spar ed the killing disproportion of State i burdens, equaliy in education as in agriculture, State wide equalization of farm and home demonstration work, adoption of the secret ballot, improve ment of the State-wide primary, and reiteration of their belief in co-oper ative marketing, marked the resolu tions of the State Farmers convention j here today which adjourned after it named Charles F.

GOVERNOR MAKES RECORD ON TRIP TO MOUNTA!NS He Does Not Recommend That as Steady Diet Though—Used to Dough A!! Day and Dance AM Night, But "Them Days Are Gone Forever." (From Raleigh News and Observer, July 31). Governor McLean on Thursday added 550 miies to the ninety-odd thousand miles that the gubernatoriai automobile has been run in the last three and one-half years. The Gov ernor made the trip to Blowing Rock and back by 3 o'clock yesterday morn ing. He had left the Executive Man sion at 6 o'clock the morning before. The gubernatorial car got stuck in the mud en route, but a pair of mules pulled it out while the Gover nor climbed a mountain for exercise. A. W. Mewshaw, private secretary to the Governor, told of seeing a snake while under the car in an effort to extricate it from a mudhole. The snake was thereafter in charge of that particular sector. Governor McLean was none the worse for wear yesterday, but in fact appeared to be in better physical shape, 1 e indicated, than if he had stayed a home. Still he does not rec ommend a 500-mile automobile jour ney in a single day and night as a steady routine. Gove:nor McLean is afraid the constant confinement attendant upon his gubernatorial duties is not the best thing for his health. Discussing his mode of living, Mr. McLean says that in days gone by i he was a good man physically but! since being on an office job be is get- j Ung soft. A big man physicaiiy, he feels it is almost imperative that he get plenty of exercise and be outdoor;; a great* deai if he is to keep in trim. The executive does not care for tennis, golf and 3uch activities and his idea of exercise is what another man would term work—he likes wood chopping and ploughing. The governor recalls, in his young er days re would plough all day and dance all night at a country dance and be on the job at sun-up the next morning feeiing fresh as a daisy. Now it is only on rare occasions he is able to get away and he does not feel as fit at ali times as in days gone by. SENATOR CUMMINS PASSES Death Cuts Short Long Legislative Career of Veteran Political Leader of Iowa. Des Moines, Iowa, July 30.—(AP) —Senator Albert B. Cummins, veter an political leader of Iowa died at his h:me here this afternoon. Senator Cummins' death will ne cessitate the election of two United States Senators in November in this State, one to fill his unexpired term which ends March 4 next. The Re publican and Democratic committees probably will be reconvened within a few Cays to nominate candidates for the short term. Death cut short the long legisla tive career of Senator Cummins by more than nine months. His te:m would have expired next March 4 as a result of his defeat in the recent Iowa Republican primar ies. With the State meeting with dis content over the failure of Congress to enact farm reliei legislation along lines lavored hy,corn belt agricultur ists, he was opposed in the primaties by Smith W. Brooki.art, a progres sive, who entered the race after ht had lost his seat in the Senate tc Daniel F. Steck, Democrat, after a bitter contest and a close vote. Senator Cummins, although re garded in late years as* one of the conservative leaders in Congress ant a supporter of Coolidge policies, vamt out for the Haugen-McNary stabiii zation bili, which was opposed by the administration, but this failed to wu him enough support from the farm ers to overcome the voting strengtl mustered by Brockhart, and he wen) HOW "!!Z" HELPS SINE im FEE1 Good-bye. sore feet, burning feet, swollen feet, sweaty feet, smelling feet, tired feet.
