cial interest ever since Doc New;
ton took over the coaching reins
at State. Before that the veterar
j mentor had been boss o f the
Davidson team, and his chief assistant
was Gene McEver. When
Newton moved to State, McEvet
took over the head coaching job.
Then for four successive years,
the Wolfpack had it all its own
way on the football field. In winning
those four games, the 'Pack
scored 77 points to Davidson's 23,
But last year the story was different,
and the best the Wolfpack
could earn was a 6-6 tie. That
seems to point to the' start of a
Davidson era in this traditional
rivalry, and the Wildcats are
primed for the game.
Coach CTtne McEver has always
been known, to put out one of the
fastest, most elusive backfields

The daily use of long distance

in such increasing volume
that telephone lines
and central offices are becoming
seriously congested
with the burden of calls.
We cannot relieve the
congestion by adding to our
facilities because the materials
needed are now being
used in the manufacture of
weapons of war (a machine
gun in action uses in four
minutes enough copper to
make a mile and a half of
telephone wire), so in order
to keep present telephone
facilities available for vital
war calls we must all talk

pears, according to press reports,
to fix ceilings on leaf tobacco but
fixes no ceiling whatever upon
purchases by the commodity credit
corporation. There is an inference,
not without substance,
that this particular exception is
founded upon the intention to
break the price of leaf tobacco
rather than any intention to allow
the commodity credit corporation
to purchase above the ceiling
price. X think the order will tend
to depress prices in the midst of
the market.
"It seems to me that the prices
of tobacco, while considerably
higher than they have been, are
not due to inflation nor are they
inflationary. They are due in some
measures to the unusual demand
for cigarettes and other tobacco
products, in some measure to the
excellence of the crop, and in
some measure to the shortage
due to the controlled program and
other causes. I do not think they
are due in any degree to inflation,
nor do I think the payment of
even better prices to our farmers
would tend to make for inflation.
"It seems to me upon the face
of it that the order is improvident
and unjustified, but I would
like to have a statement of reasons
for the order and a disclosure
of your point of view and
purposes in the matter before
reaching a conclusion. If I had
known that you were contemplating
such an order, I would have
taken occasion to discuss the matter
with you.
"The order comes just. at a
time when our farmers are preparing
to put on. the market the
better grades of their tobacco, for
which grades they have often received
higher prices than those
fixed in the ceiling. The making
of excellent leaf tobacco is an art

product ought to be high. I suspect
that the effect of the order
will be greatly to reduce the
price of the higher grade tobacco.
If this is the purpose I would
like to know what the motive is.
