TOBACCO CROP
SHORT AND SORRY
In Eastern Carolina the Weed
Is Not Doing Well—Crop
Will Be Two Weeks To One
.Month Late.
Sam P. Heath, of Greenville,
N. C., buyer for the Export
Tobacco Co., and native Stokes
county boy, was a visitor herj
■ yesterday. .Mr. Heath was ac
companied by his mother, who
resides at Walnut Cove. He
expects to visit his people for
several days.
Asked about the tobacco
crop in eastern Carolina Mr.
ileath stated that the prospect
looked bad. Tobacco is from
two weeks to a month late and
is not growing, he said. Th.;
plants are turning yellow as
a result of so much rain. Mr.
Heath gave it as his opinion
•that the crop would be at
least 25 per cent, short and ol
rather poor quality. He has
recently been in South Caro
lina and he. finds about a nor
mal crop there, but it is also
late in that State.

cause he had been told to do so
by Idaho Catholics.
That airplanes which flew
overhead during the speech
were here "to disturb this
meeting."
* That the nex. Congress

f*fcickory head aviators from
bothering n-j while I'm talk
ing."
That Go vcr .l.ir Alfred E
Smith would "get it in the
neck at the Democratic Na
tona! convention."
That the press was control
led by the Catholic church and
never printed his most import
ant attacks upon Catholicism.
That people in the audience
should not carry on whispering
conversations while he was
making a speech.
It's too bud the Senator was
not able to hold the attention

SMITH WILL CARRY
NORTH CAROLINA
This Is Opinion of J. Elwooti
Cox, Head of Hoover-For-
President Club.
High Point, June 2.'5.— J.
El wood Cox, head of the Hoov
er-for-President Club, stated
today that he believed there
would be a land-slide in the na
tion for Hoover in the fall elec
tion, but he does not agree
with Republicans who say they
believe North Carolina will
swing into the Republican
column. He does believe,
howe\Vr, that the Democratic
majority will be cut several
thousand in the State.
No campaign plans for the
Republican party in North
Carolina have been worked
as yet, according to Mr. Cox,
hut the banker is certain that,
if the Democrats nominate
Governor Alfred E. Smith, of
New York, the Republicans
will bring their fight for votes
into this State with the hope
that they can cut deeply into
the old reliable majority.

Promoter of Thrift
j
The insurance carried on
American lives equals nearly
nine times the assessed valua
tion of all property in New
York City.
It exceeds by nearly fifteen
thousand million dollars the
estimated total wealth of
France.
It is three-fourths of all the
life insurance in the world.
If distributed equally it
would give every person in the
United States more than $650.
It is the largest institution
we have for the systematic
cultivation of thrift anil the
most useful.
You can save by other meth
ods, but most of us don't.
Life insurance pulls us by the
heart strings and makes us do
from a mingled sense of duty
and shame what otherwise we
might easily forget.
It is, therefore, about the
most useful type of business
activity in the land. The men
who promote it do an invalu
able service. New York-
American.
A failure is a man who has
quit trying.
Clean living makes the un
dertaker wait longer.
You have no idea how big
the other fellow's trouble are.
this thriving concern much more
room which was sorely needed.
Paul White, of Winston-Salem,
