The new dollar bills just off the government presses are good to look at and take up litth space though they will buy just as much as the old, large dollar bill. Just mention a dollar bill and everyone perks up his atten tion.

Due to the great amount of territory which the plane mus: cover on its tcur it is envious mat cannot be scheduled to operate in every town that would like fi> have it.' While it is regretted ei course that the plane will mu i.u brought here, the Reid-Sanders Motor company has coopern ed in having it brought into this sec tion of the state so that people in this community can go ovei and see and fly in this safe Ford plane. The Reid-Sanders M 'tor empany has even arranged to pv - vide free transportation over the flying field to any one who wants to fly. Unless the schedule is post poned because of bad weathei in: plane will arrive on Saturday, No vember 2. If bad weather should interfere the flights will be post poned until good weather again prevails. Flight tickets are now on sale at the Ford dealers at $5.00 each. Bach flight will be of full fii'utr. minutes duration, according *</• Mr. Reid, which allows enough time for a person making hi.: first flight to have a really enjoyable trip. It has been said that many people who took this ride for the i first time .expressed themselves as much preferring air w *vel to any other means of tran por:i ticn. The plane has a seating capacity of fourteen passenger and is fitted with comfortable wicker chairs. It is attractively ! upholstered in green leather. No special clothing is necessary to ; ride comfortably in this plane a-; jit is entirely enclosed. No un 1 pleasant sensation is to be an ticipated by the passengers as the pilot, who is an expert and wjs | trained at the Ford Airport in Detroit, makes it a point to dem onstrate to the passengers on each flight just how smooth, comic•■«. able and fascinating air travel can be. i L.OCIU people were ciunuaia»t'>. in tlveir praise of Ueid-Sanders Me tor company for making possible for the people here to i!v in this Ford plane and many hav already expressed their intention; of taking advantage of this won derful opportunity. Mr. Reid sail * today that several have already ’ made arrangements to make ' flight. Among these airminticc ■ citizens is Mayor J. 1). Underwooi ' who said he felt that everyon ’ should know what it. is to fly. II 1 has never been up in a For plane, he said, and he is natura’ * ly looking forward with grea pleasure .to making this trip. M: * Sam T. Honeycutt, President c ^ the Board of Trade, said he wa l- interested in the promotion of k cal aviation and was glad of tl. j o p po 1 tuni ty to fly in this p 1 a i ' as he wants to keep abreast wi. s modern developments.

The question now is, Will the producers then:selves undertake through this offer made them to correct a had situation and refrain from further damping of their cotton on an already overloaded market and will the pre ducers have t.he support and encouragement of our bankers and business men in their fig it for better prices for their cotton? “Yu* are not confirmed bulls by any means, but cotton facts ami figuies do not warrant the pres ent low levels being paid tv.* the south’s chief agricultural product Recent statements issued oy i.he United States Department of Ag riculture .-how that the co’ ten crop of 1928 sold for four per cent below the five-year av rage. With the trend of prices for the last several days it would appear that the 1929-80 crop was head ed for much lower values than the 1928-29 crop, and how does thU compare with consumption and production figures? World consumption of American cotton during the 1928-29 season was r' nit 15,076,000 bales, being in ex. a-s of the 1928 production by 781,000 bales. Domestic consump tion for the month of September, 1928, was 492,307 bales. Septem ber, 1929, consumption shows a heavy increase, being 545,649 bales. “Cotton statistics are very much in our favor and the farm board is willing to do its part. The big question is Will the producers avail themselves of their oppor tunity ?*’ STATE PRISON FARM TO POOL COTTON RALEIGH.

Hodges to sign a contract with the North Carolina Cotton Growers Cooper ative Association and to market all of the cotton grown on the state prison farms near Raleigh through the association. In forwarding the contract to U. B. Blalock, general manager, Superintendent Pou sent the fol lowing message: “The state prison board of directors and myself are glad to join your organization and to give it our support. On the ether hand, we do not want any one in your organization to .join our organization. We are already full up." TOBACCO STOLEN FROM TENANT HOI M* Mr. U. M.

Henry Ford and his son. Eid.set Ford, were hosts to Thomas A. Edison, Monday on the anniver | sary of the perfection of the electric lamp and the ceremonit i | of the day culminated Monday | evening with a banquet in which ii!p« iLicip.\iuju. iiusj, ] : ior to the banquet, Edison en acted again what took place just fifty years before, on October 21. 1S79—the successful test ol' hi. electric bulb. Henry Ford ha- j placed the original Edison labo- j rat or y in his Greenfield viHage of antiques, and it was here that | the remaking of the .bulb took place Monday evening. Owen D. Young was toastmas ter at the banquet. Among prom inent personages present were j President Hoover, who made a speech honoring the famous in-; venter. Madame Curie, French | scientist and Will Rogers. Mcs-I sages were read from the Prince of Wales and from the president j of Germany. The climax lo this phase of the banquet came when1 P. of. lbert Einstein, who.-, “the- ! cry of relativity” has revoi . on | ized thought in a large part of ^ the scientific world, extended fe licitations to Edison, over tne rrtd: »i from Berlin, Germany. Edison himself made a brief talk at the j banquet, his voice evidencing deep emotion which he must have fe.t when all the world was hon/ring, his genius. The Aderholt murder trial at Charlotte which for weeks has oc cupied prominent places in the newspapers, is ended, and the se ven labor agitator and strike•• defendants were all convicted and sentenced to prison, for teimj ranging from five to twenty years. The jury was out only fifty-seven minutes. An appeal was taken to Supreme court and appearance (bonds of from $2,000 to $5,000 iwero fixed.

Governor Gardner’s political wisdom in re ! fusing1 to throw out George Iicss Pou from the super in tendency ri the state prison gets a rare jus tification in the impending deficit [of approximately $200,000. 1 Nn executive ever had cju i - j little political reason for hf: iing r,ver an official as Go-< . nor j Gardner had for retaining Mr. - Pou. The young .Johnston n ..n j.ad been -j dcco’y embroiled ,n (the county politics of that cnee I Democratic empire as to make any escape from punishment Im possible, if so be it was the pur pose of Mr. Gardner to pumsi. The Morrison-Gard ner- Page hat tie of 1920 still lingers am ig-t the anti-Pou people. Sam Horn y cutt, who was one of the great t st catchers and first basemen ever graduated on the Chapei Hill diamond, found it difficult to re ceive the mystifying delivery of the Morrison battery. Mr. H-o; < • ■ cuitt was anxious, to get Mr. Pou. So were many others. The city cf Raleigh had 'em by the thousand. i'n. ua runer Knew max me war upm him had not been exag^,or ate:! by his friends. There wc-io great appeals, for prison sup-1 -m tendeacieis from the west. But Mr. Gardner followed his hunch. He thought it a bad time to make a change. The Poii supporters had said that failure to reappoint him would smack of an assault upon 1 the public’s interest. Governor Gardner gave the young m in a j ra w commission. There is a certain deficit ahead.1 The supporters of Mr. Pou did not1 reckon on a flood, a pest, a lam-j Lr.e, and a jam at the prison! gates. They felt that no other man could run that prison ma-! chine and make it go. Old ene-j mies of Mr. Pou used paper well j against him. They figured his big surplus just a piece of bluff ac- j counting and recalled the several years of deficits preceding the an nouncement of surplus. And when j they saw the savings, whether: real cr alleged, they gave chief j credit to the business ability of \.l W. McLean, former goverror. I And that was good, for Mr. Me-! Lean is one of these business men j who can make anything to which1 he gives his time show a sur- j plus. Sometimes Raleigh people wish that he could be induced to run the state fair or manage a church. How it Would Have Been. Mr. Gardner would not turn George Ross Pou out. Old ene mies of the governor praised him for his generous spirit. Others had said his excellency would play politics and put Mr. Pou out. And these agreed that only politics could put Pou out. His record en titled him to stay. Governor Gardner took the view that Sup erintendent Pou ought to stay there. The year is fast corning to an end. A big deficit is ahead. If that big surplus previously collected vanishes completely, Mr. Gardner will still be in ideal po sition. Had he put a new man in the prison management and that deficit had occurred, all th/3 king’s horse.- and all the king’s men could not have convinced the public that Governor Gardner did net execute one of the greatest (Turn to page four) : board took under advisement ? j suggestion that it use state de partments of agriculture and stall marketing associations in its ef forts to improve the economl .status of agriculture.

Preparations are go- ( ing forward for a notable clay for | the county on this November 11. Band music will be furnished as an j at:tract.ion, and some speaker will be present to deliver an address ! appropriate for the occasion. Oth- !' cr attractions have been secure.! j1 for the day which will not only j; serve to entertain the visitors j during the day but will last into!' the night. At night a .play will j be given in the graded school * building, which is under the di- ! section of the legion, and as an i utside attraction a ring of hobby horses and other forms of amuse- ! ment will be in operation. It is 1 understood that Four Oaks will be clad in its Sunday’s best f li the occasion and flags and bun:- ' ings will be lavishly displayed. It comes to the Herald unoffic ially, but authoritatively, that to put this day over each year in a manner creditable to the county and the cause it represents re quires much by way of expenses, detail work, and a hundred-and cne little odds and ends. Tno county commissioners at a recent meeting made a splendid contri bution toward this matter aid seme of the towns have contribut ed freely from their treasuries. This is most commendable, and .if there are some of the towns and communities which have not as yet rendered their part in this drive, such should be attended *o immediately. Properly and strict ly speaking, the putting of th's celebration over for the fonion service men is not an enterprise to be carried out by the veterans it is, rather, the county ?/ affair. It is the county’s salute and bow i | to the boys who fought the cout'- ! try’s battles in its deepest dis tress; and the part the veterans should take in this event is thru < f guest and not that of -host. It is hoped and urged that in this sp it the entire county will un.te in a single effort to give the boys a good and gxorlous recep tion at Four Oaks on November 11. K. G.
