Washington, July 27. ?Although official Washington is just as "election-minded" as ever, a good deal of pains is being taken to avoid the appearance of putting pressure on the voters. Word has gone out from the powers that all agencies of governmental departments shall avoid using the words "adjustment," "planning" and "production control." Instead they are instructed to say "foresight" and "forward-looking." The information about the drought situation received by the Flor\Q vf TV>QV*f r\f A rn-iniiHiiVA "vyu4wi?v-HU VJJ. XlgllUUil/UlC lis OUII1med up by officials of that department. somewhat as follows: The damage is highly localized as compared with 1934. There is adequate supply of cattle fodder and there has been no serious impairment of the nation's food supply, although higher prices for dairy and poultry seem probable- The department still holds to its estimate of $7,500,000,000 as this year's farm income, pointing out that there has been no serious impairment in the aTea south of South Dakota and west of the Mississippi, which was the region hardest hit by the 1934 droughtThe next, social-economic drive of the Administration, which will become vigorous if Mr. Roosevelt is re-elected, will be in the direction of building up cooperative enterprises. For many years under this and previous Administrations there have been governmental efforts to encourage producer cooperatives, some of them successful. Now the interest of Washington is centered upon consumer cooperatives. Recent utterances by President Roosevelt and Secretary Wallace have emphasized this angle of the eo operative movement. The President's commission, which has gone to Europe to study cooperative developments, consists of four enthusiasts on consumer cooperatives and two who are primarily interested in farm marketing cooperatives. New Marketing Act Consideration of the RobinsonPatman Marketing Act, whose full effects are not yet predictable, suggests that it was aimed particularly a't the big chain store distributors, on the theory that they compete unfairly with local merchants The essence of this new law. which has just gone into effect, is that no manufacturer or producer may grant special price reductions, discounts, bonuses, or commissions to a large purchaser which he does not. also grant to a small distributor or retailer. "Hie law specifically prohibits advertising allowances by national manufacturers to retail distributors which are not extended equally to all. The Federal Trade Commission is supposed to pass on all questions arising under the Robinson-Patman Act. and to rule whether any allowance or discount is permissible. But although Congress entrusted the Commission with this power, it neglected to appropriate any funds for the Commission to use for this purpose. Money Situation The action of the Federal Reserve Board in requiring all member banks to increase their reserves on 1 deposit with the Federal Reserve banks by fifty per cent is regarded no o measure intended to pre 11C1C CtO I* IIIVMWW.. - vent undue credit inflation with its accompaniment of runaway prices. Financial experts, however, point out that the basic factors making for credit inflation still exists. Bank deposits are growing at the rate of about $3,000,000,000 a year and there is no indication that Government borrowing on a large scale ; will continue. The world's supply of gold is increasing at a sensational rate, while the government silver purchases are steadily increasing 'the money supply. All of these things point toward a steady 1 rise in commodity prices of all kindsInterest increases in the struggle between the two national labor leaders, John L. Lewis and William 1 Green, for control of the organized : labor situation. Mr. Lewis is re ' *1 -Kir, tardea here as Dy i?i me 1 the two men: indeed he is looked 1 upon as a man of great personal ' power and leadership and ability ' to think fast and clearly. For the first time there seems to be a real possibility of a powerful new type of labor organization 1 gaining a foothold in America un' der Mr. Lewis' leadership.

AMMONS, Agricultural Teacher On July 15 the cantaloupe movement from Warren county began. The season was not very favorable as to weather conditions but the price paid farmers for their cantaloupes has been very favorable. The cantaloupe industry centered around Ridgeway is quite an industry in volume for a comparatively small territory. All the organized groups of growers of cantaloupes have asked for and received Federal-State shipping point inspection on all their cantaloupes this year, which has improved the quality of cantaloupes shipped from this section. This inspection service is made possible by the cooperative efforts of the growers and the State Division of Markets, of which Mr. R. B- Etheridge is chief. The organizations having inspection this year are "The Pride of Ridgeway Growers Association," Ridgeway; "The Mutual Cantaloupe Growers Exchange," Norlina; and Mr. S. G. SatterwWte, Manson. The inspectors serving these organizations are Mr. J. B. Gourlay of the state of Mississippi and Mr. M- N. Edmonston of the staite of Louisiana. Mr. R. C. Wright, who is associated with the Bureau of Plant Industry with the U. S. Department of Agriculture, was in the territory from ' July 21-26 to help workers on the problem of fee proper maturity to pull these cantaloupes in order to get them to the market at 'the best possible stage for eating. Mr. Wright made two shipments to fee laboratory in New York for study and will give us the findings when this study has been completed. There seems to be a growing sentiment in the minds of all growers that to succeed in growing canta loupes there must be uninea action on the part of growers to put up quality packs in a neat, and inviting manner, which will make the marketing of the cantaloupes much easier. Warren Students At Chapel Hill Chapel Hill, July 27?E. p. Grant of Warrenton, Herbert Katzenstein of Warren Plains, R. M. Rooker, Susie Rooker and W. T.

Four of the defendants were white and two were negroes. William Mayfield, charged with operating an automobile while un- ( der the influence of whiskey or some other drug, was found guilty, fined $50.00, taxed with court costs, and had his driving license revoked for one year. Allen Ivey, negro, faced a similar charge and received the same treatment from the court. E J. C.

Members of a the jury stated thait they could agree d that he was guilty of operating an t automobile unlawfully on the high- j. way and he was found guilty on f this charge. Hart claimed that he was not under the influence of whiskey and attributed his driving, I3 his appearance and the smell which j' Patrolman Welch said he detected about him when he made the arrest s to Cheracol which he said he had been taking for a cold- ' A. D. Hardy was found guilty of 0 assault upon a female. Taking into T consideration the fact that an agreement had been reached be- s tween the defendant and his wife, ? and the substantial conveyance to his wife of valuable real estate, the court suspended judgment on Hardy ] provided he pay the costs in the action.

MOST OF THE NEWS I ALL THE TIME 1 NUMBER 31 ' SEVERE STORM STRIKES COUNTY Man Injured In Falling Barn; Lightning Strikes Houses In Two Sections TOBACCO CROP RUINED E. H. Powers of Embro received three broken ribs when his barn crashed Wednesday afternoon during the hail, wind and electrical storm which cut a path of destruction (through Warren county that left farmers with losses amounting to thousands of dollars in crop damages. Mr. Powers, who was In the barn with Van Coperland, a negro, when the structure gave way to the wind, was penned beneath the falling (timber and was farced to remain (here until planks and logs could be cut away- Van Copeland was not hurt In the crash, nor was livestock In the barn injured. While considerable damages were done to crops over a large area of the county, the heaviest losses are believed to have occurred In Sandy Creek township where Charlie Fleming, one of the biggest tobacco fanners of this county is said to have had 85 acres of tobacco ruined. Other farmers in his section also had their tobacco, cotton and corn beat down, blown over and cut to pieces by the hail and wind.

This WaS til? third time this year ithat crops around Liberia have suffered from hail and wind. During the storm a pack house on the farm of Edmund White was struck by lightning which caused it to burst into flames but the fire was put out before any material damage was done. The home of S. B. McCauley at Norlina also caught on fire when it was struck by lightning but no serious damage resulted- A few trees and a fence were blown over at Norlina but damages there were slight compared to those in Sandy Creek township, !the hardest hit spot of the county.
