QHL IN SAMPSON. The State Geologist Says No.—Clin ton People Don’t Agree. Raleigh, N. C., July 28.—INS.— “Oil!” And State Geologist H. J. Bryson isn’t going to interfere with the cel ebration down in Sampson County, where the citizenry of Clinton are ex cited over the finding of an oily sub stance in a well being sunk three miles out ot town. The state geologist clung to his opinion expressed many times before: “There is no oil in North Carolina in paying quantities—not even enough for the boring of one hole.” In recent months there have been a half dozen or so “oil booms” in East ern North Carolina, and have sunk thousands into the projects. But one by one, they have been given up, and accepted the state geologist's word for it. But not so down in Sampson Coun ty, according to reports reaching the Capital City. There is no great ex citement down about Clinton way, but then the drillers of the well are reported to have found oil, and the Clintonites are going to see whether there’s any money in the proposition or not. They have not yet advanced the claim that they have found crude oil in commercial amounts, but then they have found it, and they are going to determine just how valuable their find is. Backers of the Clinton project, from the very beginning, were informed by the State Geologist that there was no hope of finding oil in North Carolina, but they proceeded to try to get the goods on him. SEE GOOD TIMES FOR REST OF THE YEAR Business Executives Stick to Predic tion Made Early in 1027. New York Times. A continuance of reasonably favor able business conditions during the last six months of 1927 is predicted by a group of business executives widely representative, both geograph ically and industriall, in the current number of the United States Cham ber of Commerce’s publication, Na tion’s Business. At the beginning of the year, this same group fore cast satisfactorily conditions through out 1927, and at the midyear turn, they say nothing hss happened to make them change their opinion. Several of the group refer to the unfavorable factors that have entered the business picture in the last few months, such as the Mississippi flood, the depression in Japan and unsatis factory weathei* conditions. But these adverse factors, it is said, are not ex pected tp cause a serious derange ment of business. A plentiful supply of capital and sound fundamental con ditions are enumerated as the encour aging elements in the business out look. Child Conservation League. The Concord circle of the Child Conservation League met with Mrs. J. M. Howard at her home on South Spring street, Wednesday afternoon.

Weddington then gave the following quotation from Joaquin Miller: “The bravest battle that over was fought, Shall I tell you where and when? On the maps of the world you will find it not. It was fought by the mothers of men.” Each member responded to the roll call with a patriotic quotation. Papers were then read as follows: “Gifts of Nations to the World and America's Contribution” by Mrs. C. Y.

V - 1 * , THE CONCORD TIMES fEW HOME OF BANK AT KANNAPOLIS IS FORMALLY OPENED Hundreds Attend “House Warming” of Cabarrus Savings Bank at Kannap olis Wednesday Night. . Hundreds of patrons and friends inspected the new modern home of the Cabarrus Savings Bank in Kanna polis Wednesday evening between the hours of 7 and 9 o’clock, attesting the popularity of this institution as its officials acted as hosts at the formal opening of the centrally-located build ing. The visitors were shown all of the equipment of the banking plant, including the huge-burglar proof and fireproof vaults. The visitors began streaming in the building soon after the doors were thrown open, and for two hours the officials were delightfully pleased to show them around. Music was played throughout the evening, lending added enthusiasm to the occasion. The Cabarrus Savings Bank of Kan napolis was organized in 1909, and its growth has been sound and rapid, keeping abreast with the business of the enterprising manufacturing city. From 1909 until 1915 its quarters were in the building of the F. L. Smith Drug Store. In 1915 it moved into the location it has just 'vacated to enter its handsome new home. The board of managers of the in stitution includes: J. J. Barnhardt, chairman; C. D. Alexander, A. L. Brown, D. B. Castor, D. A. Jolly, E. J. Sharpe and W. B. Beaver. AL SMITH PUT BAN ON “SMITH” CLUBS Opposes All Such Activities to im prove His Chance For the Presi dential Nomination- New York Times. “Smith for President” clubs, wher ever formed, are under the ban as far as Governor Smith is concerned. Such organizations are beginning to spring up by t£e score throughout the country, according to reports re ceived at the Democratic State Com mittee publicity bureau in this city, despite the Governor’s emphatically voiced determination not to engage in any activity to improve his posi tion for the Democratic nomination for President. The Governor also has refused to sanction such activi ties by friends and supporters. A new disclaimer was made yes terday by close political friends ot Governor Smith of responsibility for any of several “Smith for President” organizations already in the field. De spite the injunction to friends of the Governor eager to begin work to land the nomination for him, a good deal of literature and correspondence has been sent out under what pur ports to be the Smith imprimatur. A report recently received at the bureau indicates that some of the unsanctioned volunteer workers, os tensibly promoting . the Governor’s boom for President, have been com mercializing his popularity with the voters. One suoh report was received from Minnesota, where it was said that a “Smith for President” club at St. Paul had collected $1 membership fees from recruits, of which 65 cents on the dollar was kept by the fiehl agents and 35 cents forwarded to the chief promoter. The letterheads of this organization also committed the Governor to repeal or modify the Volstead law andto obtain relief for the farmers in the granger States. “All Smith is the best qualified and strongest candidate for Presi dent ; if elected he will keep every pledge in his platform,” reads one sentence on the letterheads. A “Smith for President” club at Washington, D. C.. it was announc ed, had discontinued operations in response to requests from “head quarters.” COMMODORE BURLfeSON ASKS $60,000 DAMAGES Sues H. M. Gragg and C. L. Dula For Statements Regarding Killing Os Negro. Morganton, July 27. —H. M. Gragg, of Globe, Caldwell county, and C. I>. Dula, of Blowing Rock are defend ants in suits for slander in which papers were filed here yesterday with the clerk of the court by Commodore Burleson, slayer of Broadtis Miller, notorious negro outlaw. The actions grew out of newspaper articles pur porting to quote both Gragg and Dula as saying in effect that Burleson did not kill the negro as he claimed. Gragg was reported to have said that he could produce affidavits to prove that Miller was fired upon while asleep and claimed that he did not even have a shotgun. Dula was quoted as saying that the negro was evidently shot, with hands over head and apparently offered no resistance. The Globe man’s articles appeared week before last and Dula's article was sent out from Blowing Rock last week. Both articles were given con spicuous positions in the leading daily newspapers of the state, among those mentioned in the complaints being the Charlotte Ogserver and the Greens boro Daily News. After setting forth at length the grounds for the action and quoting verbatim the newspaper reports in question the plaintiff goes into fur there detail to show wherein he has been damaged by the lieged malicious and false statements and asks judg ment of each of the defendants in the amount of $30,000, $15,000 as com pensatory and general damages and $15,000 as pnitive damages, totalling $60,000, and the payment by the de fendants of all costs in the actions. Ervin and Ervin are the attorneys in the case and filed the complaints yesterday. Western Union Hearing August 9. Raleigh, N. C., July 27.—INS.— Argument* in the case of the Western Union Telegraph Company, which is seeking to boost its toll rates in North Carolina, will be. reopened be fore the State Corporation Commis sion on August 9th. The Western Union petitioned the commission in September, 1926, for an increase in rates, and eince then numerous hearings have been held. Governor McLean authorized the em ployment of accountant* to ascertain whether or not the telegraph company was justified in asking to increase its rates. The audit was completed a few days ago. The Western Union would affect the increase by establishment of zones in the state. The Postal Telegraph & Cable Co. petitioned the commission to increase its rates at the same time, but later the petition was withdrawn. It may ba all right to take things as they come, but it is just as well to be sure they belong to you.

GORMAN Tells of Experiences of Blanks Party After "Reaching Europe.—Sees Many Wonderful Sights. Another letter has been received by friends here from Mrs. W. H. Gorman, who is travelling in Europe this summer \frith the Blanks party. The letter follows: The trip from London to New Cas tle was without interest, passing through a low flat country, but all in verdure clad, seeing from the car window the cathedral in Peterboro and Durham, through town after town where coal is dug, dingy and lifeless they looked, but the hundreds of freight cars piled high with coal on the tracks told us what they did. The old English phrase “carry coal to New Castle,” is in truth a wise saying. Newcastle is a large town, rows of houses, in every direction, sarqe height, same architecture, be grimed with dust. And the river bank of the Lyons on which this city is located is fitted with ship yard* on either side, where half built boats stand in dock, some battered and wrecked on the shore. A large sub marine looked as if abandoned to the weather. The river filled with ships and freighters, and an English man o-war, the “Nelson,” looked to us on the Stella Polaris a* we’re being pull ed up the river by two tugs, a soft gray phantom of a battleship, so still and gray it was with no sign of life aboard. The Stella Polaris is 50 wide, and 500 feet long, beautifully appointed with comfortable rooms with beds and delicious food, especial ly the different kind for which Nor way is famed. ' We arrived at Bergen Sunday, July 10th, at 10 :30 P. M. It was a6 light as 4 p. m. at home. Hundreds of people were at the pier when we dock ed. The town has 100,000 people and : s partly built over the water front. The houses are built of wood and are one behind the other half way up the mountainsides that shelter them and give to the voyage a most impressive sight when entering the harbor. For 1 hours the boat sail* up a water lane \ hemmed in on both side* by low I hills, then range behind higher and the last are v : sible snow-capped. , Norway is 12,000 square miles, 4,- 000 is used for cultivation and graz ing. One-fifth of the area iR covered with forest. Come copper and silver i* found. They get peat from the bogs and coal from Newcastle. Out of the 365 day*, only 60 are sunshiny, is said to be the average. It has the largest number of freight vessels in Europe except Great Britain. Over 100,000 Norwegians are engaged in the fish industry. Today is like a June day at home. The people are a happy looking folk. Show* look al most American, save for windows fill ed with fishing nets. etc. and post cards have a strange and fascinating look. American visitors fill the streets and travellers from all parts of the world greet each other w'th a kindly smile, realizing we are all one people under one window of heaven. Why ever disagree?

C., July 28.—INS.— More than 1,200 carloads of famou* North Carolina peaches have moved out the the Sandhills so far this sea son, according to the State Depart ment of Agriculture. The total for last season wag 2,072 cars. Up to July 23, 1925, only 142 carloads had been shipped from the peach-growing region.

Difficult Tasks Now Confronting Leaders of the Nation. London, July 27. —It is a difficult task that confornts the new pilots who are to take the helm of affairs in Roumania. When the late King Ferdinand was called to the throne he found tfie government more stable and the economic condition of the kingdom more satisfactory than is the case today. The country never has recovered from the upheaval of the war, while the continued strife of rival political factions, which ing Ferdinand was unable to hold in check, has added fuel to the flames. Under the long and wise rule of King Charles 1., who preceded his nephew Ferdinand on the throne, Roumania was lifted to a plane of in dustrial and commercial prosperity far above that of any of the other Bal kan Powers. Today the chancellories of Europe are cogitating over the ques tion of whether the country is to lose this position of foremost among the Balkan nations. Roumania possesses many advan tages over her neighbors. For one thing, she never suffered so severely from Turkish oppression as did the other Balkan states. For another, her natural resources are incompar ably richer. She has extremely valuable oil wells, and her fertile soil yields an enormous wheat crop. But while her agrarian legislation has been markedly progressive in form, it has failed in execution. Theoretically, every Roumanian coun tryman should be a proprietor and own his land. Extensive efforts have been made in this direction on several occasions, the object always being to free the peasantry from the domina tion of the powerful agrarian aris tocracy, the old-tima boyars—squires, nobles, knights—whose privileges of nobility have been taken from them by the Constitution, but who have contrived to maintain their control of the land in face of all restrictive legislation. Money-lenders, too, have played a sinister part in the unrest of the peasants, for, although forbidden to own land, they have acted as middle men for the great landed proprietors and have bled the peasants heavily for loans on their little holdings. To the operations of these men, who form but a small proportion of the more than 300,000 Jews in Roumania, may be traced resposibility for the harsh repression of the Jews, which has al ways been one of the principal blots on Roumania’B record. This, and the unrest of the peasantry, in conse quence is proved by the fact that the agrarian revolt of 1907 spread until it became nothing short of armed rebellion. These are pome of the reasons why those now called upon to govern Rou mania have a hard task ahead of them. PROFESSOR HART MAKES STUDY OF TEXTILE BUSINESS Offers Better Opportunity To Young Men Today. Raleigh Times. The textile industry has offered better opportunities to young college men during the years since the World War than it ever did before the war, according to a vocational study of the textile graduates of North Carolina State College, just completed by Prof. Hart of that institution. The total number of textile grad uates from State College is 252, and of this number 17, or 70 per cent, is in the textile industry. Many of these men hold good positions. Three of the textile alumni are presidents and four are managers of textile corporations, while three are general superintendents and six teen are superintendents. There are six men holding the position of sec retary-treasurer and twelve are as sistant superintendents of textile cor porations. Nineteen are overseers in cotton mills and dye plants and eleven are textile designers. Many other alumni hold good positions. The salaries paid the men holding the above positions are large, and the average annual income received by the textile graduates of North Carolina State College who have stay ed in the industry is considerably above the average earnings of college graduates throughout the country. S • Young men who are now trying to decide on a professinal career before entering college this fall, or before continuing their college work, will be interested to learn that there is a strong demand for the graduates of the State Textile School. Dean Thomas Nelson saye he is still receiv ing requests for graduates of this past year’s class, although all the members of that class were placed by commence ment. Tunney Denies Rumor That He is “Deceased.” Speculator, N. Y., July 26. Gene Tunney took time from his training today to deny a report he had been killed in an automobile ac cident.
