Graham, Candidate For Gov., Active In Affairs Ot The State Native Of Orange County Has Served HLs County And State j Consistently Through Long Period Of Public Life. Alexander Hawkins Graham, now Lieutenant Governor of North Caro- i lina, and who is seeking the Demo- 1 cratic nomination for Governor in 1936, was born in Hillsboro, North Carolina, i August 9, 1890, the son of John W. and Maggie F. (Bailey) Graham. A. H. Graham, or "Sandy" as he is better known throughout the State, is the i third of his family to achieve promin ence in public life. His father. Major John W. Graham, after serving throughout the Civil War, was a mem ber of the State Senate for five terms. His grandfather, William A. Graham, j was United States Senator, Secretary of the Navy, Speaker of the North i Carolina House of Representatives. Governor of North Carolina. Whig nominee for Vice-President in 1852,' and afterwards appointed on various boards and commissions, many of which appointments he declined. A. H. Graham was educated in prL vate schools in Hillsboro, the Episcopal High School at Alexandria, Virginia, and graduated from the University of North Carolina with the A. B Degree in 1912. During the next year he at- , tended the Law School at the Univer sity of North Carolina, and the sum mer Law School in 1913. and after re-' ceiving his law license, attended Har vard Law School for pne year.

A definite move to bolster a depressed cotton tex- ! tile market was seen today in a state- 1 ment by Senator Bankhead <D Ala.) I that there is no justification for cheap er cotton this season. From another source came an as sertion tfhat the Senate agriculture committee's investigation of last March's break in he staple market probably will result in recommenda tions for market regulations to pre vent drastic declines in the future. Committee investigators have been at work here and in New York for several weeks. The break on March 11 sent the price of cotton tumbling to around 10 cents a pound, two cents be low the value of government loans on last, year's crop. The price of cotton today v,-as be low the 12-cent point, and there have been fears of Icwer prices in the fu ture. thus hurting the cotton textile goods market by discouraging present buying. "It is reported that buyers or cot. ' ton goods have largely withdrawn from the market because they believe there is a prospect, for cheaper cotton andi cheaper cotton textile goods," Bank- j head said in a formal statement. "This is an unfortunate situation for the .textile industry and is without justification. No one need to expect cheaper cotton nor cheaper cottonog cheaper cotton nor cheaper cotton goods this season, but on the contrary textile buyers should recognize that | the price is now probably at its low- j est point." Bankhead reiterated statements lay j members of the Southern cotton bloc that continuance of 12 cents a pound loans on the 1935 crop was assured, and added it was hoped the loan will be 13 cents. ? ? COUNTY WILL ftPPLY FOR FUNDS TO CARRY ON BUILDING PROGRAM Hog Prices Reach New 5-Year Highs Eleven-Dollar Hog Appears Op Chicago Livestock Market For First Time Since 1930 Chicago, July 23. ? Hog prices at many points throughout the midwest today reached the highest figure in nearly five years. The $11 hog reappeared on the Chi cago livestock market for the first time since September 22, 1930. This figure, plus the $225 government processing tax made hogs cost buyers $13.25. Unseasonably slim receipts, the re sult of last summer's drought and the government's hog curtailing program together with the announcement by the department of agriculture in Washing ton yesterday that inspected hog slaughter for the current market year will be the smallest in 25 years, were bullish factors over the midwest gen erally. Trading at Chicago was fairly in active on lighter weights and packing sows. Prices were from 10 to 15 cents higher generally, and with spots up more. Dictator's Fall Causes Wild Joy In Mexico Cily Students Celebrate Jubilantly The Overthrow Of Ta basco Ruler SEVERAL THOUSAND HANG DEPOSED MAN IN EFFIGY Mexico Ctiy. July 24. ? Mexican stu dents today celebrated jubilantly the overthrow of Tomas Garrido Canabal. dictator of Tabasco state, as peasants in Tamaulipas State continued their bloodless fight to oust General Raefal Villarreal. Several thousand students hung Garrido in effigy on one of the Cap ital's principal avenues this afternoon in token of the anti-church leader's downfall. Garrido's power was brok en when President Lazaro Cardenas intervened to remove his protege. Gov ernor Miguel Lastra. Bells of the Mexico City Cathe dral, the oldest in America, rang out for the first time in many years as the students, after hanging the effigy, pa raded to the cathedral in continuation of their celebration. Meanwhile, reports to the War de partment said complete order prevail ed in Tabasco, which was placed under semi-military control after Gen. Mi guel Henriquez, known to be loyal to the Federal government, took over as Tabasco military commander. Agitation continued, however, in Tamaulpias, where peasants rising peacefully yesterday overthrew muni cipal councils in 22 towns and forced 14 others to withdraw their recog nition of Villarreal as governor. Reports from Ciudad Victoria, the capital, said an estimated 6,000 agra rians were massed there demanding Villarreal's resignation. The governor himself hurried to Tampico to confer with Secretary of the Interior Barba Gonzalez who flew there from the capital to investigate the situation on behalf of President Cardenas. Violent action by the peasants ap peared threatened at Matamoros and other Tamaulipas towns but persons conversant with the state situation said they did not believe Villarreal could be overthrown by violence. They ex pressed the belief President Cardenas would ask the Federal congress to remove him after Barba Gonzalez' re turn from Tampico. At Tampico the interior secretary conferred with representatives of the thousands of workers and peasants who asked Villarreal's removal, asserting he was "guilty of numerous crimes and immoralities." The Tampico council also asked that he be ousted on the grounds that it was unable to work with him. Belief that Villarreal's dr$s were numbered was strengthened by re ports that Emilio Portes Gil, presi dent of the National Revolutionary (Government) part>, was backing the movement against him. However, the governor said over the telephone that he would be able to "dominate the sit uation," and declared 600,000 support ers were ready to defend him "with blood and fire." ) Commissioners In Session Wed nesday Decided To File Ten tative Application For School Buildings AGGREGATES $170,000 The County Board of Commissioners decided Wednesday that they would file an application with the PWA for $170,000 to carry out a proposed build ing program among the schools of the county. This money, if received, wQl go toward erecting and equiping a four teen-room school building at Helena, a fourteen-room building in thp western section of the county, location to be decided on later, a six room addition at Roxboro High School, and the plac ing of adequate toilet facilities in Rox bcro Central School. The application that the county at torney will file with the PWA admin istration will be regarded as tentative. That is the Commissioners have not definitely made up their minds wheth er or not the county is able to under take such a heavy burden at this time, but that by the time the application is made, studied and passed on they will have made their decision* and. if the funds are available, the program will be ready to proceed or be dropped, depending on the action of the com missioners. The proposal is to apply for $170. 000, forty-five per cent of which will be a direct grant under the five bil lion relief fund, and fifty-five per cent of which will be loaned to the county at four per cent. This fifty-five per cent amounts to $93,500 that the county would have to borrow. o 'Cyclone Mack' Dies !n South Carolina Noted Evangelist Passes Mon day. Funeral Held^On Wednesday Funeral services were held Wednes day at Bennettsville. S C. for Cyclone Mack, Baxter F McLendon, noted South Carolina evangelist who passed away Monday. Cyclone Mack was noted in this state where he had preached on many occasions. Himself a convert from roughneck to righteousness, he was ever the friend of the sinner, wi^h par ticular love for the man addicted to drink. Regarded as the largest money mak er in the evangelistic field, Billy Sun day excepted, Mack was dirt poor when death took him. He had given all his money away. It is said that he anticipated his death for several years. On one oc casion he wrote, 'I am life tired." Back in 1928 when many ministers were fighting A1 Smith because of his wet platform. Cyclone Mack refused to at tack the candidate, attempting to show his congregations that the 18th A mendment was doomed. Mr. McLendon had many personal friends in North Carolina, as well as elsewhere. Governor Bickett had him as a guest in the executive mansion when he was governor and Cameron Myrison was counted among the strong friends of the religious cam paigner. o Free T rip Is Offered By Show Manager Trip To State Fair Offered To One Showing Largest Num ber Pure-Bred Cattle Mr. R. L. Perkins announced Wed-, nesday that a free trip to the State Pair in Raleigh would be given to that person showing the largest number of pure-bred cattle at the Cattle Show to be staged here on September 4*5th. Plans for the show are shaping up and it is expected that practically all of the owners of cattle in the county will want to enter.
