The Georgian-American, published in Atlanta, is circulating the follow ing petition: "As an important help toward national recovery the undersigned urges that the United States Con gress make it possible for closed banks to pay off depositors in full. Toward this end, I urge you to give your active support to the enactment of the McLeod bill. The many business men and in dividuals whose deposits are now tied up in closed banks and who cannot get loans from other banks, would, through the passage of this measure, have their own money to put in circulation. This plan in my opinion would be an important step in restoring the natural processes of business. The money would be in immediate circulation. In my opinion, if this is . done the value of the frozen assets will go up automatically. Thus, the benefits will not be lim ited to the bank depositors. The re sult will be beneficial to all other business and to individuals. I urge immediate congressional consideration." IffKnliaim tllSe mAQCnro will mPon much towards helping business for j there sre many, not only business men, but many farmers wfi'tT have money tied up in some of these j closed banks, and if this measure should go through mahy merchants would have money to discount their purchases and increase their busi ness, while many farmers would he able to buy fertilizers and pay cash for same. We can not say that any! of these farmers, with such deposits, have been on the relief list, but we do knew some who have been com pelled on account of the deposits to borrow money from the Govern^ ment to enable them to make a crop. Of course, this procedure would cost the Governmentt something.! but 1* it not Just as important toj help those who Ijave been thus bur dened as it is to help those who have lost their Jobs and are without work. The truth is, if this money was turned loose ? some of these farmers would be in position to hire extra help and take up some of the. slack. We hope this measure fin ally goes through for it would mean that several hundred thousand dol-, lars would be put In circulation in this good County. -<? NO HURRY Mr. George Ross Pou. executive director of the North Carolina high way and public works commission, has resigned, and almost Instantly announced his candidacy for con gress from the fourth district, the] seat so long held by his esteemed father, Mr. Edward Pou. Governor Ehrtnghaus announced Immediately after receiving the re signation that he would lose no time In naming his successor. You! will probably remember &e bitter fight In the legislature over consol idating the penitentiary and the highway. We remember distinctly that the tight waged hot tor several days in the senate; these who were wed to the idea that all offices pos sible should be abolished, and no new ones created, while the politi cians?who saw in Mr. Pou one oi the ablest of the bunch?fought to retain the set up as it was; finally the offices were consolidated and it was the expectation that either Mr. Pou cr Mr. Jeffress would go. But what happened? After a long wait the Governor named Mr. Jeffress as the head of the highway and penal institution, with Mr. Pou as the executive director, both receiving, if we mistake not, their same old salaries. Thus was the legislature overrid den and all semblance of saving a thing of the past. No, Governor, you need not be in a hurry to make the appointment, in fact, if none was made you would simply be carrying out the intention of the last legislature. o ? It will be seen from an article published elsewhere that an effort is being made to establish a Farm ers Mutual Exchange in Roxboro. We are heartily in sympathy with this movement and trust it will be adopted. It will mean much to every One interested, not only to the farmer but to the housewives of Roxboro also, if this exchange is established the farmers will have somewhere they can sell their pro duce, and know when they leave home they are going to find a mar ket, and find it writhout having to peddle it from house to house; and the good woman who does the pur chasing for the table will know she can go down town and find some thing for dinner, and find it fresh from the garden. Yes, by all means let's have this Farmers Mutual Exchange. Miss Doris Duke of New York City is being entertained in Mexicc City by Ambassador Daniel.
