M.703.300 due the- Federal Intermed

amount due October SI was $63,474.93.

? the "receiverehlb Iree of any secSVed
Indebtedness: but an undetermined
-*jaount jf unsecured indebtedness
must betpaid as well es the final ex
pense of the receivership and distri
bution. The receivers now h%ve on
hand 9.140.8??- pounds of tobacco dn
which the bankers' valuation Is $1,
?980,188 41. However, the amount
realized will be much smaller. In ad
dition the receivers have due them;
il83.923.52 from tobacco already sold
and sums carried on the books at
large amounts on account of invest
ments in the subsidiary warehousing
?corporations, from which small re
turns are expected '
While the retfirt of the recivers
filed yesterday shows a paper equltyfqr
the grower members, of
it Is not expected tnat this amount
will actually be much over $500,000.
There waa a movom?irt> on -toot to_
have this amount turned over' to the
proposed new growers' association as
a cash reserve Instead of ifivldSiT iff
small driblets among the 96,000 mem- j
hers of the old association. However,
this moveoWnt has ben abandoned,
one stumbling block being the fact
that many of the grower members as
signed their claims to banks, which
are .unwilling to release_them.

ANNUAL FEE ONE DOLLAR
On Tuesday of next week, November
18th, the systema|ic toll call for
membership In the local chapter of
the American Red Cross will be made
in Roxboro. The various streets and
sections pf the town have been as
signed to definite committees of work
ers who will solicit memberships and
contributions for the Red Cross or
ganization This work Is not only
national nnd world-w'ide in its Inter
ests and service, but also does a de
finite helpful service to the people of
our own community In health work,
[and humanitarian ministration.
The annual 'membership fee is one
dollar, bul it is earnestly hoped that
j many of our citizens will give some
thing more than the membership fee
to this worthy cause. A business man
in Roxboro recently remarked that of
all the public charities he believed
the Red Cross funds were most ef
fectively used for the good ql hu
ipantty. May we not have a genftrou?
response to the' appeal and oppor
tunity for brotherly helpfulness when
, the call is made on next Tuesday and
' a feW succeeding days?
. Members T>f the Woman's Club have
volunteered to canvass the residen
