Have Millions ot capital ror ers: President Hoover Favored Raleigh For Credit Corporation By M. R. DUNNAGAN RALEIGH, Sept. 5 North Caro- lina "batted a thousand' with the Re- construction Finance Corporation the past two weeks, first in securing for Winston Salem the regional Home Loan Bank to serve half a dozen southeastern states, and then by se curing for Raleigh the location of the home of the regional Agricultural Credit Corporation, serving the Car olina?, Georgia and Florida. The first, an emergency bank, de signed to aid home owners to return their homes during the present finan cial strengency, will have $10,000, 000 capital, and is expected to be in operation in two months. Meanwhile national banks have declared a mora torium on mortgage foreclosures un til these banks, 12 of which are pro vided for in the nation, are ready to function. They are for the purpose 'of looking after the small home own er and helping to carry him over this period, until he can get his affairs and payments back to normal. The second, with a capital of not less than $3,000,000, are authoriz ed and directed to make loans or ad vances to farmers and stockmen, the sum to be used for agricultural pur poses (including crop production) or for raising, breeding, fattening or marketing livestock, at fair and, equitable rates of interest or dis count the paper to be rediscounted by the Reconstruction Finance Cor poration, the Federal Reserve Banks or Federal Intermediate Credit Banks Governor Gardner, who named two committees to work on the two pro posals, hardly hoped for one, and certainly not for both. He lauded Frank Hancock, Fifth district Con gressman, whom he named as chair man of the Home Loan Bank com mittee, for his success in landing the bank for the largest city in his dis trict, Winston-Salem, and former Governor A W. McLean, chairman of the Agricultural Credit Corporation committee, ana congressman toward , VV. i'ou, who secured President liocv-; er favorable suggestion for loeat-! ing the branch in Raleigh. Mr. Pou was instrumental in getting the measure through Congress and also in getting the regional bank located in Raleigh. Governor McLean visit ed Washington at least twice and used his influence with the powers. Congressman Pou thinks this cor poration will "furnish more real re lief than any other agency in the President's rehabilitation program."

The judgment for each of these j Negroes was the same as that of William Ed Potter, with the excep tion that the costs were to be divid ed equally between the three men. James Stanley, colored, who last weec was charged with the non-sup- mrt of hi, child bv his ,vife- Annis Stanley, came into the court.

Garner's store at Newport to handle the school books again this year. There are a fw books Mr. Garner will not cany in stock, as he is simply an- agent for the State Depository in Ralegih, and the Depository does not stock the books of every publisher. However, all the books used in grades 1 thru 7 except the geography books will be in stock and part of the high school books will also be carried. Those books not carried by Mr. Garner may be ordered through the school. Attention is called to the fact that the arithmetic books this year are a new adoption, therefore no second hand copies of this book can be had. All other books will be the same. A complete list of books for each grade will be given out later. In the meantime if anyone is interested in finding out what books are used, in formation as to this can be had at Mr. Garner's store, or from the of fice of the principal of the Newport school.
