What Do You
Know About
North Carolina?
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

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

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

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

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.

First of all, he’s considered the

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.
