Hot Dog Boom Brings Growls From Housewives Dunn.—True to the adage that "every dog has his day” is the re cent boom here of the humble variety that goes in roll with chop ped onions and mustard. The run on hot dogs started in the snowy cold spell as an antidote for wet feet and cold noses. Now, house wives say, the rage has gone too far. Husbands come home happy and content, but stupid from overstuff in? and totally unfit to appreciate the finer points of culinary skill. Since the lowly wiener came into its own, average daily sales of ven dors have leaped from around SO t0 43 6. Mayor Herbert Taylor, c;tv Commissioner Tommy Hood, School Superintendent J. Shep Bryan and Chief of Police G. A. jackson have been accused of frank further munching while on duty. Child patrons of the school luncheonette and residents att the _ city jail have won demands, for hot dU every day. Recorder’s court recesses overfrequently, it is said, so that Tudge Mack M. Jernigan and Solictor James Best may dash out for "one red with chilisauce.” \ few sane hostesses have so far ^ bowed to the rapacious hunger of(i the males as. to admit the wiener to - the menu of their social affairs.! ^ But most wives of Dunn are up in: arms. . ’ , H Xhey want their husbands to come home hungry and on time. ^ CONSUL WEDS BEAUTY ,( Miami, Fla.—Mrs. Maria Teresa ■ a Rennert, Spanish beauty, and Wal ter N.

Farm Tenancy Is Increasing Nearly Half Of Farmers In North Carolina Are Tenants A continued _ increase in the number of tenant farmers in | North Carolina has been revealed by reports of the 193 5 Census of Agriculture. From 1930 to 1935, while the total number of farms in the state was growing from 279,708, to 300,967 the number of farm tenats increased 3 per cent. Numerically, the tenant group grew from 137,615 to 142,158 dur ing the five-year period. Forty nine per c«.nt of all the farmers in North Carolina were tenants in 193 5, the census figures further revealed. These figures were as sembled in connection with the pre paration of a report on farm ten ancy by the Division of Land Utili ation of the Resettlement Admin istration. Final results of the Census of Agriculture have not been tabulat ed for all states. Figures for thir ty-eight states indicate, however, an increase in the number of farm tenants in most sections of the country. Approximately 43 per cent of all farms in the United States are now operated by tenants. The trend of recent years is in ac cordance with the steady increase in the percentage of tenants since the first count was made in 1880. At that time, 25 per cent, of the farm ers were listed as tenants. Attempts to check the growth of tenancy have been made chiefly because of the instability of resi dence associated with a farm ten ant system throughout the United States, studies show that the ten ant farmer moves on an average of every four years. Because or this change in resi l dence, the functioning of schools, churches, and other community en terprises such as co-operative or ganizations is badly handicapped. The impermanent interest which many farmers have in their land prevents their giving attention tc soil conservation, the checking ol erosion and the upkeep of farrr buildings. The tenant hesitates tc make improvements on the farrr which would only benefit his suc cessor. In the past tenancy has been con sidered a stepping stone to farrr ownership, and as a means where by farmers lacking capital coulc obtain experience in farm manage ment. The steady increase in th< proportion of older tenants, how ever, indicates that fewer men ari now being able to move up the Iasi rung of the ladder to farm owner ship. * GIRL IS PAPER * * HANGER FOR "FUN” 1 * _ * * Shelby, N.

Philadelpha.—The world’s first air-mail letter is said to have been carried from Philadelphia to Wood bury, N. J., just 143 years ago. Old records show that it was taken jwith the French ballonist Jean Pierde Blanchard, when with his dog for company, he ascended Jan. 9, 1793, from the yard of the old Walnut Street Prison, a site now occupied by the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company’s build ing. It could hardly be said that air mail service was given, since there was a considerable element of un certainty as to just where the let ter would be delivered—in fact that was one reason why it had been written. Its author was George Washing ton, and it was written as a kind of introduction for the aviator to the citizens of the neighborhood in which he happened to land. Col. I Charles A. Lindbergh also carried a letter of identification from pro minent citizens of St. Louis, when he flew to Paris. The Washington letter reads as ionows: "To all to whom these presents shall come— "The bearer hereof, Mr. Blan chard, a citizen of France, propos ing to ascend in a balloon from the city of Philadelphia at 10 a. m. this day to pass in such direction and to descend in such place as circumstances may render most convenient. "These are there to recommend to all citizens of the United States and others that in his passage, des cent, return, or journeying else where, they oppose no hindrance or molestation to the said Mr. Blanch ard; and that on the contrary they receive and aid him with that humanity and good will which may render honor to their country and justice to an individual so distin guished by his efforts to establish and advance his art in order to make it useful to mankind in gen eral. "Given under my hand and seal at the city of Philadelphia, this .ninth day of January, seventeen I ninety-three, and of the independ i ence of America, the seventeenth.” Washington himself was among those who watched the slow infla , tion of the bright yellow varnish ed-silk bag, and saw Blanchard s^ep ! into what is described as a boat j shaped car ornamented with glist 1 ening gilt spangles. As the bal loon began its ascent, the areonaut waved the French flag and the ■ Stars and Stripes together. Reaching an altitude said to have been more than 5000 feet, Blanchard sealed several bottles of air, so that this could be weighed by physical scientists in the city and compared to the weight of air at sea level. Fie also weighed a stone and reported that it was con siderably lighter than it had been on the ground. After leaving Philadelphia at 10 a. m., and reaching Woodbury, N. jj., Blanchard drove the 15 miles back in a carriage, returning to the city the same evening. In Anson County, 1800 cotton growers received $60,000 in parity checks in time for the Christmas : holidays. Tenants and children shared in the happiness created.
