STATE'S REPUBLICANS TO APPEAL TO GAL: G. O. CAPERS ON FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION RILES THEM Fc?l Keenly Atrait lnre?t Ration Of , Alleged Pufair Practices Of Imperial Company By R. E. Powell. .1/ ??"'' 0,8 Republican majority on the Federal Trad, Commission seems 14 Be-mtln# tn handling the In vestigation into alleged unfair trade practices of the Imperial Tobacco company are fretting good Repub licans in the rural sections of North Carolina and the gossip is that the 1 vi? thi" part of the South is mobilizing to send Mr. Coolidge a vigorous message about it. So far, the Republican majority on the commieskm hasn't done anything with the investigation unit was order ed to make upon complaint of the ca operative growers. But it has. pro ceeded painfully Slow with the in quiry into the boycott which the ?oops allege the Imperial ha. es tablished and apparently, has gone far afield by probing the internal ! affairs of the cooperatives. The coops, have been through a i searching investigation conducted by I nine officials of Virginia, North Caro- 1 lma and South Carolina and the : lillljis <Jf hum pupttts in llmse three ? states. The nine members all held I responsible and leading positions in the agricultural world. It was in no sense a picked committee.. It did ^ not whitewash the association but . recommended in. the main that it Rive its members a little more in- ' formation about the business, ghat's ' ""*he fault the Diqe men found. : Jealous *of Record The grumbling of the Nort'h Caro lina Republicans because of the de lay nnd dilly-dallying on the pact of the Trade Commission is easy enough to follow when it is understood that North ( arolina Republicans have been very jealous of their political' record on the whole cooperative movement. They were among the first to support the (list cooperative law and they have been among the : ?t?un;hest defenders of orderly ma'. Meeting when the association was un der attacks. 'They feel keenly about the statu' of the complaint which the tobacco association has made xgainst the big 1 companies at Washington. Tt if, aU: leged, among other things, that they have consistently refused to buy from the associatio nbut that they have purchased large quantities of the same grades of tobacco held by | the association. They have said that ! the association did not get the grsdes ; they desired. Instance after in- | stance has been cited where they ! taught from auction floors grades identical with those pooled with the association. Republicans hbpe' of winning fa- ! vor in North Carolina, and it is no se.?ret that they have hope of win-' nmg a few member* of Congress and a respectable minority in the Gen eral Assembly f)me of thesp dByg will be d.immed if the Federal Trade Commission passes over the com plaint against the Imperial. The balk of the 230.000 Republican votes in North Carolina is in the crural sec tions of the state. Many ct them are members of one sort of cooperative arsociation or the- other.' They find it hard ta reconcile th'e Pfeaident s stand on cooperative mar keting about which they brag ts their Democratic neighbors, with the progress of the complaint they have made with the commission. They do not want to agree with the assults which some Democrats have made bufc kt, the fcamft : .fimc they want to know what's tin* matter. Democratic^ Charge Political circles away from the ? farms are watching the con^niissjon'g handling of the tobacco complaint, too. Democrats quite naturally "int. 1 '* bui'vic... ing that the Rep&jKM^iyy.-staiiir fast ' to its traditional mdoffiig^ At the same t.ime, they are wondering what wiU-happcn i{ Mr: CoolMge, r? commrtted ? to -cooperative ?"viQHs to make in thi. vjouth. r.atjg his com and tells it to shake a this ?investigation. DEATH OF MRS. SIDNEY MOORE Mrs. Sidney Moore, a well known resident of Mt. Tirzah, but who dur ing the last few yean of her life has made her home with her daughter, Mrs. H. L. Carver, died on July 1, 1926. The 7th of March she had . a serious fall, from which she never | recovered, being unable to walk un til the end came. Her suffering was intense, though she always tried to greet her friends with' a cheerful smile and a kind word. She was de- J voted to her children, grandchildren and neighbors, never too tired to' help those who needed her jir - t-ioj poor to give to those who were in. want: We feel that her kind deeds] are so deeply stamped ~In the hearts! of her loved ones and friends that they will never be blotted out. She especially loved little children, and their presence always caused a bright smile to pass over her face, she was ever young and a companion' for the young as well as the old. I She was so willing and anxious to go,' and prayed all through her sickness that God would soon take her home. ? She was placed beside her husband, I in the cemetery at Mt. Tirzah, who preceded . her to 'the grave more than five year sago. The funeral service was conducted , by Rev. D. L. Earnhardt, a former pastor of the deceased, he being as-{ siated by his son, Rev. Ed Earnhardt pastor of Calvary church, Durham. j The pall bearers consisted of her grand-children, Arthur, Willie, Mar vin Carver and Joe Moore, and rtep hpws Arthur Raado and Ira Burton, i The floral bearers were a group of little ehilrftrrn, amDit; which were her grand-children, nieces and little Rougemont friends. The' deceased is survived by two sons, C. A. Moore of Rougemont, E. S. Moore uf _Vjrtan Va- and one daughter, Mrs. H. L. Carver of Rougemont. ?

In another four years they built an addition 116 x 140, rein forced concrete ano equipped with modern fixtures. Today they^mploy 45 people. How did they accomplish] their success? Let Bob Mooney tell the story himself: "Wt; liud i hi particular reason lor\ starting t business in /Temple, and no; idea what kind of business We would build. We started with the intention of selling about $100 a day. We avM1 aged this amount the first year.

They have given us write-ups in their columns. These we could not have bought, but through the gcodness of the pub lishers, they have put us on the map, and we are selling merchandise^ in every* state in the Ignited States to day. Our business is growing every day in the mail order linj?. ?"It strike sme that if we have been able, as country merchants, to attain our sales volume, -then few manufacturing and wholesale organi zations are unable to grow far be yond their present limits. It is largely a question of how big an opportunity the management seas. At present we cannot see our limit. "We believe yCu'have first to sell yourself in any line of .business to make a success , and to make the other, fellow see things as you see them. We have always tried to give the very best. prices and quality and service with each article we' sell. We believe the customer is right in every case and we make everything good to the customer that we sell when thee e#is a complaint. We never try to describe a piece of goods to make . it appear in the advertising other than it really is. We would rather our customers receive mer chandise better than they' expected." Fifteen years ago Bob Mooney was punching cattle at $15 a month. Otto Mooney, his partner, was clerking in a hardware store at $3.50 a week. Charles F. Luja was editing a news paper. Bob and Otto Mconoy are Person County boys, raised at Surl, about sevep miles Esst of Roxboro. They left this County with hardly a dol lar in their pockets, but with craws full of sand. ? Ed.

Rickets and scurvey in human beings be cause of improper nourishment or lack of food find a counterpart irk plants, states Dr. F. A. Wolf, plant ' pathologist at State College, who has recently received several speci mens of cotton plants affected with a growth trouble known as Tomosis. Tomisis seems to be prevalent this year in* the territory extending from Stanly to Franklin County and * in some fields of this section over half the plants are affected. They appear to be dwarfed and there is a crumpling and distortion of the leaves and branches much' as rick ets affects the human being. Dr. Wolf states that this trouble was discovered first about twelve years ago and since that time it ^as been found, at times, over tho en tire cotton growing districts of tfia * World. The worst injury usually occurs at the seedling stage though a few injured leaves may be found later. The badly affected and nor mal plants may occur side by side on the row and there, is no 'evidence to show that the fertilizer -wlfll have any effWt. Whert -tHa Injury 11 se vere, the. terminal bud is thrown off and several branches are formed In its stead so that the plant Is crip pled or deformed.
