GORE WITHOUT GLORY o In the pugilistic contest between the ne gro and the Welshman Monday night we have an example of worse than the Spanish bull fight. In that, a man and a bull meet in deadly combat ; in this prize fight man is pitted against man. But some argue that no one is killed or perma nently injured. Just the same, if one heard the announcer as the fight progressed or saw' the fighters’ pictures after it ended, he must admit that it was both cruel and inhuman. But prize prize fights like a great many evils of this gen eration have almost ceased to raise a protesting ADDITIONAL SIOO,OOO ALLOT TED FOR DEVELOPING NEW USES OF COTTON Allotment of an additional SIOO,- 000 for continuation of work in de veloping and expanding new uses of cotton was announced today by the Agricultural Adjustment Ad ministration. Previously 8,500 bales of surplus cotton had been made available by the AAA for the experimental use of cotton fabric in highway con struction and the expenditure of about $7,000 for work toward the development of other new uses for cotton was authorized in March of this year. Under the new allotment, the AAA will furnish the cotton for continuation of these demonstra tions and additional work in eight proposed new cottton uses, includ ing the use of cotton fabric for construction of wind breaks to con trol soil blowing. The suggestion for the use of cottton fabric to check sand and soil blowing is bas ed on information received from the Soil Conservation Service. As a part of the new program recommendation has already been made for the use of 22,500 square yards of cotton fabric in further testing the adaptability of the ma terial as a reinforcement for as phalt-lined irrigation canals. This will be used near Soda Springs, Idaho. This test will be made by the Bureau of Agricultural Engi neering. Other proposed new uses of cot ton: As a reinforcing material for coverings on levees and revetments as a covering or protective mater ial on banks of dams and reser voirs; as a protective covering in seeding lawns and terraces; as a covering for cages or enclosures used for propagation of insect pa rasites; as a covering to prevent escape of insects from storage plants and other possible sources of infestation; to prevent or lessen the nuisance caused by winged wild life; and as a covering for bales of cotton. The new uses of cotton fabric previously included in the program, in experimental use in highway construction, were: Asa covering or reinforcing ma terial for the sides of irrigation and drainage ditches; as a cover ing or reinforcing material for high way fills and cuts; as a protective covering for hives of bees; as a protective covering for fruits and vegetable* during growing, ripen ing or curing processes ;as a cov ering for shading or protecting! tree seedlings and shrubs during jcritical periods of growth; as a por 1 table covering, hood or tent for use I in fumigating, spraying or dusting j trees, fruits, vegetables, vines and plants; as a covering or insulating material for permanent or semi ! permanent structures; and as a j membrane or reinforcing material lin surfacing airport runways, roads, bridges, paths and walks. For this work, AAA will furnish cotton, and cotton products, to fed eral, state and local governmental agencies and to colleges, universi ties and other non-profit organize - j tions. The program is being super vised by the Marketing Section of the AAA. Joe Louis i Keeps Title Joe Louis, the Detroit mulatto, retains the heavyweight fighting I championship, having outpointed ; the Welshman, Tommy Farr, in a 15-round bout Monday night. Al though Louis retains the champion ship. Farr really won the fight. Betting was 5 to 1 in favor of Lou i is, and many bets were placed that i he wouid score a knockout in three | rounds or less. Instead the Welsh man stayed with him the legal lim it and quit in good shape. Officials gave Louis 8 rounds, Farrs, and counted two as even. A crowd of 37,000 fans saw the fight and at the close nearly all of them were pulling for the visitor to win. A. D. McLain Died Suddenly Tuesday Night In Raleigh Angus Dhu Mac Lean, one of North Carolina’s most distinguish ed ciMzens, and recognized leader of the Raleigh bar, was found dead in his bedroom here early Wednes day morning. Physicians said he had been dead for several hours. 1 He had been in good health and I spent Tuesday in his office. Funeral and burial services are i being held today at his former home at Washington, N. C. Mr. Mac Lean was sixty years of age. He was born at Maxton in j Robeson county' and was connected , with many of the prominent Scotch families of that section, being a cousin of the late Governor A. W. Mcljean. As a young man he estab lished a law practice at Washing ton, N. C., and until hia death re ained connection with m legal firm voice. They are the accepted evils of the age along with drink, immorality, and gambling If the.->e things are not wrong then there is no wrong. —• 000 TWO BIRDS W ITH ONE STONE o The July and August numbers of Esso Road News, advertising sheet gotten out month ly by the Standard Oil Co., kills two birds with one stone. It chooses as its catch for reader in terest the “Lost Colony” pageant and publicity campaign now on in North Carolina. It also has played up the Folk Festival in Asheville and has given pictures of the old fort on Roanoke Island restored and other places and people of inter est. While this rider of free publicity will naturally help along Carolina’s campaign of publicity, without doubt it will also call atten tion to the oil products of the Standard Oil Company. Thus two birds are caught, not killed one for the oil company and the other for Caro lina by mixing oil and news ink. So everybody profits by this bit of news. If more of big business would tie up with matters of public interest and concern it would be better for all concerned. We commend this wise course of the Standard Oil Company to other corporations. I there. Although his service as asistant | Solicitor General and Assistant At torney General of the United ; States brought him into national ; prominence, he will be remembered in this state as the father of the | state-supported public school. Com ! ing to the legislature in 1927 from Beaufort county he began the fight that culminated in the present state supported eight-m ont h s school term. He resigned his position as as- I sistant general about two years ago to come to Raleigh and head the law firm of Mac Lean, Pou and j Emanuel, one of the outstanding law firms of the southeast. His superb ability, his thorough knowledge of general and constitu tional law, his sterling character land loyalty to purpose, commanded admiration and respect. Though re ticent and reserved in manner, he was personally loved by those for tunate enough really to know him. i His death is a distinct loss to the ; state. Andrew \V. Mellon Andrew W. Mellon, former secre tary of the treasury and one of the world's wealthiest men, died Thurs ] day at the home of a daughter in Southampton, N. Y. He was 82 years old. The Mellon fortune was founded ! on oil and aluminum, the Gulf Re ; fining Company and the American Aluminum Company being the two , major interests. Like the late John D. Rockefeller, Mr. Mellon had al ready given millions to various charitable and educational causes, and the estate was not so large as some had thought. He had also al ready given so much to his child ren, that most of the several hun drend millions left were willed to artistic and scientific foundations. North Carolina Calling All Cars With the above streamer head line and half dozen pictures of Ft. Raleigh on its front page the Esso Road News for July gives the state some splendid advertising. The August and September numbers al- I so publicized the Virginia Dare cel ebration. Esso Road News is published by Standard Oil Company and is dis tributed free. Each issue features some special attraction for motor ists. The oil company doesn’t care where you go —just so you go. The appeal of Eastern Carolina is very attra tively presented and no doubt ! many motorists have been induced ! to visit Dare county, j The lure of the Sandhill peach I country was also presented in the July issue of Esso News. Such pub ! licity is invaluable to the state — j worth far more than the expensive , blurbs by the Georgians hired to j boost golf courses and historic spots. North Carolina owes Stan dard Oil a vote of thanks. THE ROOT OF EVIL The love of money is the root of all evil, but few get too old to love in that respect and all are willing to get right after the root of the trouble. Though statistics are tire some, a few money figures may be | of interest. On the 21st of August j the national debt was practically 1 37 billion dollars. A million has j been donated in Pittsburg to study and stamp out diabetes, and a nav al cadet receives a hundred thous and dollar prize in a contest con ducted by a cigarette company. It i is to be wondered whether a sea faring man with that much money in his pocket will persist in the j sailor’s traditional demand for ‘‘a i life on the ocean wave, a home on the rolling dee,” or come prompt ly and permanently to dock on Broadway.
