Young Democrats Are to Be Shown Much Hospitality Charlotte. Aug. 22.—Mecklenburg county Young Democrats this week took time out from lining up.a com plete entertainment program for the State convention here September 7- 9 to launch a campaign for mem bership. seeking to strengthen the host chip in every possible way. Convention Chairman Frank Exam, however, was still planning his entertainment program. Two dances and two' banquets at the Hotel Chailotte, convention site, are al-read;. arranged, the dances to take place on Friday and Saturday nights. At a banquet Saturday eve ning in the hotel ballroom, the main p( alter, who has not been an nounced yet, will be heard by the 2.000 delegates and their friends expected to attend. With a keynote of fun and frolic thu- assured, there is wonder what political moves will develop. The Mecklenburgers, who will have quite a large oloc of votes at the e mention, aren’t worrying much about politics, since their voting delegates won’t oven be chosen un til the second day of the convention. They are spending all their time trying to oe good hosts, and they v.ill let the convention take its i course 1 Candidates for State President Gordon Gray’s post continue to rise m .ai’iou: parts of the State, yet none has assumed any great degree of prominence over the others.

Abandon Idea Os Free Seed College Station, Raleigh, Aug. 22. —Previously announced plans for making vetch and Austrian winter pea seed availaole to Eastern North Carolina farmers as grants-of-aid under the agricultural conservation program have definitely been aban doned, it was stated today oy E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive officer of State college. Rejection of excessive bids on the legume seed by Pacific Northwest producers was the reason given for dropping the program. Floyd said that farmers in 31 counties had already made applica tions for more than 150,000 pounds of seed and that there were indica tions that 200,000 pounds or more of the seed would nave been taken in the State under the grant ol .aid program. However, the prices asked by seed dealers were far above an ticipations, due, Floyd said, to a shortage of seed in the producing states of the Pacific Northwest. To replace the grant-of-aid pro gram on winter legumes, the AAA leader has called on county Triple- A committeemen and farm agents to wont out a Duying plan for lo cally-grown crimson clover, vetch and Austrian pea seed between farmers -and local < seed * dealers. It is possible, Floyd said, for farmers to maice an assignment of their soil building payments to seed dealers for the ourenase of winter legume material, or armers ean get a loan from the Farm Security Adminis tration for the purpose of pur chasing legume seed. ‘At any ate, we will not be able to make seed available under the grant-of-aid plan this yeai, which is regretted, out we hope that grow ers will nvajl themselves of the op portunities wnich exist to buy local seed”, Floyd said. Capital Gossip | By HENRY AVERILL Raleigh, Aug. 22.—North Caro lina’s Supreme Court justices will next week hear their first oral argu ments of the 1939 fall term, ynth cases appealed from the first, twen tieth and twenty-first districts on the calendar, which has not yet been completed. Among criminal appeals is that of Charlie Fain, Negro convicted in Cherokee for first degree burglary and rape in connection with a mid night attack on a nurse at the Mur phey hospital. ’ Recently-appointed Assistant At torney General George B. Patton is writing the State’s brief, and he is likely to make his first argument in the case. The court had only two cases left ' undecided from the spring term, one of them a test of the constitutionality jof the 1937 act forbidding retailers ' to cut prices of nationally-advertis |ed goods below figui’es set by the | manufacturers. In a test case, Superior Court Judge Henry L. Stevens, Jr., held the act “clearly unconstitutional”; but it is evidently giving the high court justices considerable concern. Possible war in Europe is the gen eral subject of conversation in most of the State offices nowadays; but unless Hitler, Mussolini and com pany start something in the next week or two they’re going to find it hard to compete with the coming football season, with particular em phasis on the Duke-Csrolina game, as usual. Add State officials on vacation — Lloyd Griffin, secretary of the School Commission; Ronald Hocutt. director of the Highway Safety £ivision; and Dudley Babley, chairman of the Rural Electrification Authority. A poll being conducted by Wash ington’s Pathfinder magazine indi cates that Vice President John N. Garner is the choice of almost half the North Carolina Democrats polled on the subject. The straw vote is being taken on the theory that President Roosevelt will not run for a third term, which may account for the Garner lead.

Jr., a sports publicity man of sorts in his own right, is son of the dean ot Raleigh news men and of North Carolina’s Public Welfare Department head. Some one referred recently to the half dozen principals in North Caro lina s undeclared gubernatorial war as “Undercover Candidates.” “Huh!”, snorted Louis Wilson, De partment of Agriculture publicity chief, “If those birds are using any cover, it’s cellophane and as trans parent as Sally Rand’s fans.” Which reminds that while Lieu tenant Governor W. P. Horton would cut off his tongue i Ther than ..for mally admit Or announce his candi dacy, there will be a formal “Hor ton for Governor” rally over in his home county within the next week or so.

Britain’s Dukes of Atholl retain the feudal right of maintaining an armed body of men.

We are far more athletic that our grandparents, according to a noted physician. That’s easy to understand. Gramps didn’t get all the exercise we do in crawling into and out of motor cars. The Scotch export more than $100,000,000 worth of whisky to this country annually. Though they don’t drink any of it, we’ll bet they get a bigger kick out of that ite mthan the Americans do. « PAGE THREE Farm Tours Being Ended College Station, Raleigh, Aug. 22. —All county farm and home tours in the Tennessee Valley area of Western North Carolina, except the two-duy toun in Watauga, will be completed thiis week, it was an nounced today by R.
