By FRED IL MAY 1. How does North Carolina rank with other states in native born popu lation? 2. Who was the North Carolinian President Grant appointed governor of the Dakota territory? 3. What was the North Carolina vote for Hoover and Smith presiden tial candidates in 1928? 4. What recognition of the United States government was not required of North Carolina governor? 5. What ’nine disaster occurred in North Carolina in 1925? 6. What records in public school op eration does North Carolina hold for the depression years? ANSWERS. 1. According to the last census North Carolina ranks first with 90.3 per cent native born white. In Negro native born population it has 88 per cent and is surpassed only by one other state, Arizona with 88.1 per cent. 2. John L. Pennington, of Wake county an educational pioneer with only a common school education him self was appointed governor of that territory in 1874. 3. The popular vote for Hoover was 348,923; for Smith, 286,227—a plurality for Hoover of 62,696. 4. For a number of years after the formation of the United States gov ernment the North Carolina assem blies refused to require her governors to take an oath to support the Con stitution of the United States. An oath of allegiance to North Carolina, only was all that was required on being inducted into office. 5. The entombment of 60 miners in the Coal Glen mine of the Carolina Coal company, near Sanford, on May 27, 1925. 6. In the year of 1934 North Caro lina was the only state, save possi bly one, that kept her schools open through the entire eight months schools term, and was the only state with an eight months term that paid her teachers promptly in cash each month.

DAILY DISPATCH FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1938 BUSINESS HOLDS SHARP RECOVERY Babson Notes Another New High For 1938 In Trade Activities BY DAVID L. BABSON. Babson Park, Mass., Sept. 9. —Busi- ness activity again surged forward this week to another new high for 1938. The gain of 0.6 of a point was the seventh consecutive weekly in crease and the eleventh advance in the past twelve weeks. As a result the Composite Index has now worked back to 24.2 per cent below Normal — over 10 full points above the “reces sion” low of 34.8 per cent registered in mid-June. Hence, almost one-third of the huge losses inflicted in the September - June downward plunge have been written off. While business is still 24.3 per cent below a year ago, the comparisons from now on will be more pleasant each week. Last September at th : s time, business was starting its spec tacular crash. Now it is in the early stages of an encouraging upward march. Sometime in the next two or three months, the 1937 and 1938 trend lines should cross each other provid ed the current uprush does not lose its momentum, With all major indus tries turning in good reports again this week, there is no sign of a set back yet. Freight traffic was the star baro meter of the past week. Loadings ran well above 600,000 cars —the highest weekly figure in nine months. Other influential indicators, such as stgel op erations, electric power consumption, lumber “cut”, textile activity, and soft coal production are all steady or modestly higher. One new-comer join ed the upward procession—automobile output—as assembly lines picked up more speed during the week than they normally do at this season. All Summer business has been mak ing gains against a strong seasonal ebb-tide. Now the seasonal tide has turned in business’ favor. Yet, the outlook depends heavily on retail trade prospects. In the last week or so, retail sales have not been as brisk as in earlier weeks. However, goods are attractively priced and purchas ing frower is growing weekly. Hence business observers are almost unani mous in predicting that trade this Fall will be exceptionally heavy. Payments Are Cut For Unemployment In North Carolina Raleigh, Sept. (. —Checks for unem ployed and partially unemployed workers in North Carolina, which average 6,000 to 8,000 and amounted to $50,000 to $60,000 a day during the heavier paying period, have now drop ped to an average of 3,500 to 4,000 a day for $25,000 to $30,000 a day, re cords of the State Unemployment Compensation Commission reveal. This drop in payments, according to Chairman Charles G. Powell, indi cates two conditions; one, that many of the unemployed workers have drawn all the benefits due them, base! on their earnings since January 1, 1937, or for the full limit of 16 weeks and, two, ‘.hat industry has been pick ing up some during the past few weeks. Through August 31, durinff seven full months of payments, plus three days the latter part of January, the commission had paid out in benefit 3 $6,591,314.93, embraced in 881,550 checks, to probably slightly more than 200,000 claimants. On January 28, day before the firs', check was issued, the reserve fund had reached $10,024,044.40 and addi tional collections of contributions and interest on balance with the U. S. Treasury since then went to $15,794,- 706.63 on August 31. This, less thi-. benefit payments made, leaves a balance of $9,20’’,391.70 in th» fund which can be used for benefit pay ments only. The reserve has thus been reduced by $820,652,70 during the seven months of heavy payments. A Michigan Republican suggests it might be good strategy for the G. O. P. to boost the idea of a third term for President Roosevelt. It must be said for the plan that there’s nothing to lose but Maine and Vermont. Lalanne Will Replace Stimweiss At Quarterback Chapel Hill, Sept. 3—With George Stirnweiss out for perhaps three weeks or a month, Jim “Sweet” La lanne, sophomore triple-threater, who hails from Louisiana is being groom ed to take over the key position of the North Carolina backfield. Lalanne’s three backfield mates are all seasoned campaigners. At half back are George Watson, the South ern Conference’s' Outstanding block er, and George Radman, able under study of Tom Burnette last fall. At fullback will be Jack Kraynick, who alternated so well with Art Ditt in 1937, or Tony Cernugle, apparently recovered from an injury which in terrupted his career two years ago.

Young Golfer Turns in 68, Three Under Par, To Smash Old Record NEW RECORD itiasPema Jimmy Cooper, Jr., playing in a foursome yesterday afternoon at West I End Country Club, set a new course I record with a 68 for 18 holes, one un- ! der the pievious record shared by J, I H. Brodie and E. F. Parham. In the foursome with Cooper were '■ J. W. Jenkins, Jr., T. S. Royster, Jr., 1 and Frank Legg, Jr. On his record breaking rounds, ; Cooper was two under par for the first nine holes, and came in one un der par on the last nine. The golfer had six birdies, nine pars and three holes were played in one over par. : Par for the course is 71. A magazine writer shows how a man can have 48 wives legally. Now, ■ if he only would reveal how the fel- ‘ low could explain to one what he ever , saw in the other 47! 1 build that coaches dream of —he weighs only 163 and is but 5 feet 9 ' Lalanne has many fine points to off set his deficiency in size. First of all, he’s considered the t*3st passer on the squad. He has the I knack of pegging accurately a toss while on the gallop. Lalanne was tutored in spring practice by Sammy Baugh, Washington Redskins star and rated by many the'greatest pass er in collegiate or pro ball. Fast and elusive, Lalanne is also above the average as a runner, and he is a capable kicker. His boots last year carried distances ranging from 35 to 55 yards. , In the final analysis h*3 wound up the season with an average of approximately 40 yards. msm AMERICAN LEAGUE New York 4; Boston 0.
