Dunnagan, The Pilot’s Raleigh Correspondent dr. e. d. harbour OPTOMETRIST will be at Tarlton’s Jewelry Store, Aberdeen, on Tuesday, Oct. 6, from 1 to 4 p. m. North Carolina is giving the world notice that no cotton will be plant ed on State-owned farms next year, cutting out entirely the staple in which prison farms planted 3,600 : acres in 1929, 2,600 in 1930, and 1,- i 300 acres this year, in a statement is- ; sued by Governor Gardner. The decision does not mean that Governor Gardner thinks the State farmers should cut out cotton gro\^- ing completely in 1932, but he ex presses the belief that the State ought to set an advanced example to cotton grov/ers ih drastic acreage re- tural commissioners and growers of the cotton states to consider “nobody’s pet plan,” but to work out a curtail ment and marketing program which might help save the growers this year. But Governor Sterling said no, the real reason being that Texas doesn’t want to curtail, even though it wants other states to cut produc tion. Senator John W. Hinsdale, luxury tax advocate, and Senator Frank L. Dunlop, implacable foe of all sales taxes, have and are broadcasting a cotton plan, calling for non-stock as- § ♦♦ tt n n XI :: Agnes Dorothy’s Beauty Shoppe All Branches of Beauty Work Also Carry a Full Line of GALV’E PREPARATIONS Over Broad Street Pharmacy Phone 5131 Southern Pines, N.

Success of Governor Gardner’s live-at-home program this year gen erally, and especially at State-own ed farms, is given as one important reason for eliminating cotton. Pris on farms, he points out, this year have threshed 38,793 bushels of wheat, 24,245 bushels of oats, 4,493 bushels of rye, and 3,669 bushels of barley, with prospects of more than 100,000 bushels of corn. Plans are being worked out, Gov- ' ernor Gardner said, to exchange every bushel of the small grains, all produced from puie-bred, certified seeds, with North Carolina farmers, so it will be available for sowing this fall. “This wheat is too good for pris oners to eat. In fact, it is too good for anybody to eat while it IS so n XI 666 LIQUID OR TABLETS Relieves a Headache or Neuralgia in 50 minutes, checks a Cold for the first day,\ and checks Malaria in three days. 6 6 6 Salve for Baby’s Cold ADVERTISE your mercliandise and it will sell! While cotton growers are in the threes of despondency, tobacco grow ers are experiencing varying emo tions. Last week’s sales in the new bright belt of eastern North Carolina indicated prices slightly above those of last year and an apparent ten dency to increase.

Every feature that has made Oil-O-Matic the most widely used oil heating in the world is found in this new low priced Model K. New Williams de velopments, notably a new type of Flame Projector, make possible a degree of quietness never before achieved without great sacrifice in heating effi ciency. This new perfomance is known as Hushed Hbat. Low cost fuel oil is burned- cleanly in mid-air, without soot or carbon. This lower priced and better fuel will save you hundreds of dollars. Williams Oil-O-Matic heats more than 100,000 homes. The Williams Budget Payment Plan makes it very easy to have this matchless comfort—especially at the new record low price.

Debt service, he said, would require a rate on all property in the state, spread equally, of $1.05 in 1931, $1.02 in 1932, $1.03 in 1933, 99 coents in 1934 and $1.01 in 1935, and, in addition, property pays 15 ceiits toward support of the six months school term.

One or more of four alternatives are open to do that: (1) Cut support of six months school term about one-third, which, he said, 99 per cent of the citizens would reject; (2) Lift the present State wide school tax from 15 to 35 cents, in addition to the levy on property for local government, the extended school term and debt service. The rate should not be raised; (3) Additional levies or indirect taxes upon business and industry, which were increased :: this year and in some cases to a dan- ♦♦ I gerous level; and (4) Seek other sources of taxation. He did not men tion new sources. This emergency calls for intensive study of facts, Mr. Brummitt said, adding that strict economy in govem- ^ mental expenditures are necessary.
