PAGE EIGHT China Grove Team Is Going Strong Indications now are that China Grove will be one of the strong contenders for the South Piedmont Conference football championship now held by Lexington. The Grov ers won their first two games with ease and have almost intact the team that last year gave Lexington one of its hardest battles, the onlj team to score more than one touch down on the locals. The previou; year China Grove threw a scare into Lexington here. China Grove comes here November 23, the clos ing game on Ceciel Field. States ville is also well rated this year b} reason of a 6 to b victory ovei Hickory. Statesville declined tc play Lexington this year though Lexington went there last year and it has been customary for confer ence games to be arranged in pairs —Lexington Dispatch.

For 10 years thi farmers had been losing money homes were being lost, commodity prices were at low points, and eco nomic disaster faced this largi group of producers. He said that farm incomes toda; are more than two billion dollar better under the new deal than und er the old. He referred to advance of more than 100 per cent in th< .prices of wheat, cotton, corn, hog: ;and cattle, and said that tobacce |prices were from 400 to 500 pei jcent higher. ! In reference to the Rankheac j cotton bill, which has come in foi considerable discussion, Mr. Dough ton said it was passed upon the in sistence of the farmers who request ed that some measures be taken tc curtail production. The govern ment guarantees 12 cents per pounc |on alloted amounts, while a smal tax is charged on each pound ol lint above the allotments. Despite the tax, he said, farmers today are getting more than two times a; much for their cotton as a year ago Democratic administrations have iii r . 1 UIUU^IIL auuut 5UXXIC UA Ullw useful and best measures for th« country, he said, reciting the rural mail service, the department oi agriculture, the parcel post, ths good reads legislation which ha' I brought to this state over $$0,000, joOO in federal funds in the past 20 iyears, and will make available $10, 000,000 more through public works programs. Mr. Doughton declared the Roosevelt administration inaugurat ed the agricultural credit adminis tration activities which have help ed save a million farm homes. In Rowan county, loans from this fund have amounted to $630,77$, he stated, and as a result, many farmers have saved homes and lands, and been enabled to continue their occupations. The three main objectives of the ; government, he said, have been re lief, recovery and reform, and for that reason, many agencies have been established. The relief pro gram is to help those in dire distress; the recovery to bring the nation back into the line of prosperity; and the reform measures to benefit industry and labor. The NRA was established to help give labor a fair share of profits, and as a result, more people are at work, with more wages paid and hours shortened. During the Hoo ver regime, the average loss in each industry was 6 per cent, said Mr. Doughton. Under the NRA, in dustries have gained ground as evi denced by an increase in taxes paid of more than two billion dollars, he said. Mr. Doughton challenged the critics of the administration who claim the national debt is being in creased rapidly. The gain is about six billion dollars, said Mr. Dough ton, but the majority of it is through loans to the RFC to help refinance industries; through farm mortgages, and the Home Owners’ Loan corporation. Through the credit of the gov ernment, many banks, insurance companies and industries have been saved; farm mortgages refinanced and homes saved; and many homes have been kept intact through the in ivuwu.ii uuumy uiunc, the HOLC has made loans aggre gating $362,486, he said. The nation lost over 100 billion dollars under the old deal, he de clared. Some of the fruits of the new deal are increased farm in comes, higher revenues from taxes, more than four million people back at work with an additional four million temporarily employed on public and relief projects; working incomes are up; and the seven ma jor farm commodities increased in value from 95 to 200 per cent. "The Republicans have nothing to offer as an alternative plan,” he said in reference to the coming elec tion. "They offer only criticism.” In closing, he urged the voters to "hold up the hands of Roosevelt through your votes for state and county Democratic administra tions.’’ First Annual Stanly Fair Opens With Bang Albemarle.—Thousands of visit ors thronged the midway at the opening of the first annual Stanly County fair here Tuesday. A large variety of livestock, poultry and agricultural exhibits are on display. The free acts are above the average, as are the midway attractions. Th< fair will remain open all week. Calls Perjury Worst Offense Lying Witnesses Under mining Respect For j Law, Judge Hard ing Asserts , Lincolnton. — Perjury — sworn lies on the witness stand—is proba bly doing as much or more to un dermine respect for law in North Carolina as the violation of all other laws put together, said Judge William F. Harding of Charlotte in his charge to the Lincolnton county grand jury at the opening of court here this week. "Witnesses are responsible for the corruption in courts in North Carolina,’ he said. "Our judges and juries are trying to administer the laws honestly, but justice can not prevail when men and women go on the witness stand and swear to statements they know are un true. Those who commit perjury deserve the contempt or all good I people. When we lose faith in j the purpose of the courts to do! right, our civilization will crum ble,” he continued. "The commis sion of perjury is a serious crime and should be severely punished.” Judge Harding said "one of the greatest menances in North Caro lina today is the persistent viola tion of the law by people above the average intelligence.’’ The greatest work juries in this state could do would be to indict men above average intelligence, who set examples for others, he said. "It is as much the duty of the state to prevent temptation as it is its duty to punish violation of the law. Many good men have gone wrong because they could not resist temptation. It is your duty, gentlemen of the jury, to see that your fellowmen are not tempted.” During his charge Judge Hard ing said that "the job in North Carolina today is not raising cot ton, tobacco, or making money, but is training boys and girls how to live.” He cited the law which forbids anyone furnishing cigarettes to minors and told the grand jury to indict anyone found to be violat ing this law. "Medical men have said that the use of tobacco at tacks the minds of minors, and it has been brought to my attention that no man has ever graduated from Harvard university at the head of his class who smoked cig arettes. The use of tobacco obstructs the development of minors and it is your duty to indict anyone fur nishing cigarettes to anyone under 17 years of age.’’ McCloud Wins At Fair Races j I — Dub McCloud of Matthews, N. { C., won the sweepstakes 10-mile! event in the automobile races at I the Rowan fairgrounds last Satur-j day.
