twelve land hank provide! for in the
rural credits art, and Mr. J i llnmn
of the Clearing Home Association, at
Raleigh, were here todav to begin the
campaign to have a hank located at
Raleigh. They made a favorable im
prevssion and it is believed that Raleigh
has a fine rhanee of auereeding in this
light.
Messrs. iggs and Brown visited See

Adoo. The eonferenre between Messrs. Ttiggs
flrown and I'ou and Hccrctary MeAdoo
waa very satisfactory. Mr MrAdoo an
thorired them to nay that he favored
the holding of a hearing at Knleigh n
discuaa the question of locating a I '.ink
there. He spoke for himself Imt hoped
that the rural credits hoard would he
of the same opinion.
Mr. MrAdoo. who ia chairman of the
"ural credits hoard, told the North Caro
liniana that it might he after the clcc
tion before the Kuleigli hearing could
he held, for it is the purpose of the
members of the Imard to first visit the
North and W est with a view to locating
land hanks in those sections. He mdi
rated that Knleigh would be reached
Sometime in November.
Mr. MeAdoo did not say that he fa
Tored Raleigh as a location for one of
the land hanks, hut he was greatly im
pressed with the. showing made by
Messrs. Biggs and flrown
After the conference with Mr Mc..ho,
Messrn. Riggs an ! Rrow n went to the
Capital and saw Senators Simmons mi l
Overman and Representatives Hood,
fstedman. Doughton. and Kitrhin. Th. v
called to see Representatives Jo. twin
I'age and Small, but found them out of
the city. They also called on Repre
eontative Itritt, whom they missed.
"I feel certain," sai l Mr. Higgs to
night, "that most of the North Csro
lina Congressmen are in favor of Hal
eigh. Senators Simmons and Overman
said that they would do all they rould
to have one of the banks located in
North Carolina but expressed no prefer
ence for any city.
"Tt is our purpose to work for a dis
trict composed of North Carolina. South
Carolina and Virginia, and to locate
the hank in Raleigh. The literature
we furnished the Treasury Department
makes a strong pull for the State tirst
"The rural population, we told Mr
MeAdoo. of Virginia. North Carolina and'
South Carolina, amounts to 4.7ii0.ii
The entire rural population of the I'ni
ted States is but 4!.nnn.0iav The three
Southern States mentioned have more
than one twelfth of the rural population
of the nation. We think that the three
State mentioned are entitled to one of
the land banks for the reason that they
have the population, and they have kin
drcd products and should lie in the same
district.
Editor Myrirk, of the Orange Jud I
Farm Publications, thinks that Raleigh
is n ideal place for one of the land
hanks. Richmond has already declared
for us. and we think the prospects for
jetting one of the banks is very bright."
