Raleigh, Dec. 14.—A semi-annual payment in North Carolina of $543,- 247.50 in Confederate veterans' pen sions began today through county Superior Court Clerks. Baxter Durham, State auditor, said, however, that this total anlourt for which the checks were drawn would never be paid as the payroll was made in July, August and Sep tember, and veterans had died in the meantime. » The amount was a little larger than the usual semi-annual payment authorized, he said.

WILLING TO SELL TELEPHONE LINE Walnut Cove People Want P.et ter Service —Policeman Wall Resigns—Mr. Fowler to Re move To Ml. Airy. Walnut Cove, Dec. 15.—This town is suffering quite a few ailments it ! this time as a result of the roads | being torn up, and is almost cut off entirely from the northern part of the country, and now the phone lines ' are down and have been for several | days. In fact, the phone service has been practically a complete failure here all summer and fail. It is re ; ported that some of the stockholders ' are anxious to sell out to the Bell Telephone Company, with the hope of getting better services.

Raleigh, Dec. 13, —Inter-connec- tion of the important transmission systems and extensions of power lines in North Carolina during the current year have increased the, the counties in which electric power] is available in sufficient quantities' for manufacturing purposes to IST, according to report to Wade H. Phillips, director of the Department, of Conservation and Development by the Water Resources Division. Director Phillips pooints out that these factors have added greatly to the number of communities in which manufacturing can be carried on profitably in North Carolina, and enabling some towns and cities. which have hitherto not had suffl- , cient power for manufacturing to establish industries for paying oper ation. This situation, continues the di rector, will enable the consideration of other factors, besides power sup- 1 ply, in the location of manufactur ing enterprises, one of the principal ones being that of locating near the j base of the supply of raw materials. 1 The statement of the department director shows that 1920 has been : the banner year in the history of , the State in the extension and inter connection of the great transmission J lines, tapping virtually every county ! in the State. Explaining some of the effects of these activities, the report says, "By inter-connection of units, excess power from regions having an ' abundance of flow or cheap steam power may be transmitted to sec - . tions of deficient flow, or a peak load at one place may be met with power from another place where th; pak load occurs at a different time. I The load factor may thus be great- j ly improved. This makes for large ' increase in efficiency. By advocating a better balanced system of farming in the 40 cotton counties of North Carolina, the ag ricultural workers are cooperating with other states of the South to reduce cotton acreage and to put the farms of N'oith Carolina en business l-asis. Danbury, N. C., Wednesday, Dac. 15, 1926 TOBACCO CO-OPS ; TO GET LITTLE Meet All Debts Hut Members I Will Fare Badly —lnventory Of Stocks Is Found Too | High. i Raleigh, Doe. 11.—All doubt that the grower members of the Tri- State Tobacco Growers' Co-operative association will get little from the receivership when the liquidation has been finished, passed today when the , November report of James H. Pou,! 11. S. Ward and M. L. Corey was. filed with the federal courts and the j broadest hint of the whole receiver-1 ship was given. | To carry the details of the co-op-, erative dealings will require prob- j ably ten big columns in the news-1 papers, but the press has carried no j ten column stuff in a long time which j ' will have more interest for the to bacco growers than this report re ; veals. The newspapers are pretty t well informed now as to the details | j but all of them have respected the I receivers in holding off the co-opera ' tive case until the official report is ' made. So soon as this co-operative ■ litigation passed off, there will bo another, but as Mr. Kiplins say*, I I "that's another story.'

' j Regarding the "participation cor : tificates" issued to members of the defunct association the receivers ! state that the members' equity j amounts to $7,858,3211, but that this j apparent equity is based on a valu ' ation which cannot be maintained.

Pcspite j j the probable further ••'•tiuifion in j .our inventory values, we anticipated: j that with the collection of the obli-, Rations due from the wase'iow'ng j corporations, as well as the amounts. 1 yet to be realized upon die tobacco over and abov the secured indebted-' , ness, we will I>e able to redeem the ! participation . ertifu-ates at scree fig-j ! lire.

Little Julia was declared ' winner by the audience, her dancing being thoroughly enjoyed. Friday night's occasion was the first time the writer has had th • pleasure of attending one of the Old Fiddlers' Conventions, and we were forcibly impressed with the fact that the name applied to these events is a misnomer. There were no old fiddlers present but all were young musicians, and a majority of the music was modern, such as "She's My Baby," Dark Town Strutters Ball," "Midnight Blues," etc. At the request of a great many friends the Parent-Teacher Associa tion of the school here will give an other Old Time Fiddlers' Conven tion on the night of Tuesday, Dei. 28th.

Miss Virginia Galloway, aged 21 j years, died Thursday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock at the home of her I grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. R. T. Joyce, at Westfield. She had been ill for a little more than a year. I Miss Galloway was a lovable, beautiful girl whose character and j disposition endeared her to all with i whom she came in contact. She was the only daughter of Mrs. Carrie Joyce Galloway. She was born in Mount Airy July 2-1, 1905, and spent her childhood there. After going to Greensboro in 1916 she attended public school and went then to Guil ford college. It was during her college training that her health fail ed. She was sent first to Black Mountain but after a few months returned to the Guilford sanatorium. About a year ago, gripped in the fight with tuberculosis, she suffered an attack of appendicitis. An opera tion was performed but since thai time her strength failed steadily. For months it had been recognized by her physicians that the odds were against her but she fought bravely, smilingly. In the late summer she was taken to the honve of her grandparents at Westfield, near the old home, in the hope that a change of scene would be beneficial. The slight response in her health, however, was only temporary and since then all efforts to' stem the tide against her had been fruitless.

PAID GROWERS FOR TOBACCO Sales For the Season Almost i Touch 35,000,000 Pound i Mark—Prices Firm Around ' | $2:5. I ______ Winston-Salem, Dec. 11.—This week's sales of 2,006,324 pounds of tobacco brings the season's sales t'> date to 34,988,908 |K>unds, which sold for $8,715,671.62, an average of I $24.91' per hundred. I-ast season's sales to the same date were 26,716,- 601 pounds which sold for an aver age of $18.65. Sales last season to the closing down for the Christinas holi days were 29,687,82 pounds. By the time of the closing down for this , season's Christmas holidays, which j will be next Friday, the 17th, the ' sales will have reached between i thirty-eight and thirty nine million i pounds, which is a tremndous amount of tobacco to sell on any ; market in less than three and one half months with four sets of buy | ers. In the East where o* ' ; tobaccos are raised and these are i placed upon the warehouse floors perfectly matched as to grades, it is much easier for the warehousemen and buyers to judge each basket quickly, but on this market where every conceivable type of tobacco is sold, that of the golden leaf, of the :brk lrc«!, of tK ■ e' types, and of the air cured types, it is not always possible to sell at the same speed of the East; it depends entirely up on the offerings and the tempera ment of the buyers. Prices have been very uniform during the week, the averages run ning daily from $21.86 to $23.09, due to the quality of the offerings. For | the same week of last season the 1 averages ran. from $15.27 to $17.94 and for the week, $17.46. Many are the "guesses" being made as to what will remain to be | sold after Christmas, but no one, of j course, knows. Some estimates that j only twenty per cent will remaia j unsold, others 25 per cent. | H. A. Fulp Is" Seriously 111 Germanton Route 1. Dec. 13. H. jA. Fulp, of Meadows, is seriously ill at his home.
