Bank Shows The Way,
Honor Well Placed
Great Public Spirit Shown By
Mr. M. G. Mann of First Na
tional Bank; Kind Words for
Mr. Zeno Moore, the County
Demonstration Agent.
t . (Wilmington Star.)
Talking about your War Finance
corporation, and farm loan banks for
financing farm development and pro
moting production and progress there
is one eastern North Carolina bank
which 'has shown the way how every
North Carolina bank can do it and be
all the stronger for it. The caption
of this editorial is taken from the
University News Letter, published at
the University of North Carolina, and
here is what Prof. E. C. Branson,
North Carolina's eminent economist,
says in that valuable publication:
"The First National Bank of Tar
boro has placed on the farms of its
county during the last three years 38
head of purebred Jersey cows at
cost of $10,000; 25 head of purebred
Hampshire pigs at a cost of $2,500;
125 head of high-grade sheep at a
cost of $2,200; has sold' at wholesale
to farmers $5,000 worth of various
seed, and distributes monthly 1,000
copies of farmers' magazines."
To M. G. Mann, vice president and !
active manager of the First National
Bank of Tarboro, is due the credit of
Inaugurating that constructive policy
of his bank. That enterprising and
pingressive North Carolina bank has
invested more than $20,000 in pro
moting new farm opportunities in
'Edgecombe county. The First Na
tional Bank of Tarboro promoted the
-4ivetek- industry in its county and
became the means through which
nearly 250 purebred animals were
placed on the farms of the county as
the basis of an' animal husbandry in
dustry. In laying- the foundation for the
livestock industry that Tarboro ban
ker not only manifested great public
spirit but led the way in construc
tive banking. Safe and constructive
banking can be conducted in North
Carolina, and that is the kind of fi
nanciering mostly needed for state
development on broader lines.
A bank actually lends when it
makes promotion aetivieies a feature
of its operations. The First National
Bank of Tarboro never made a better
investment than when it invested in
a plan to introduce new features to
farming in Edgecombe county.
Mr. Zeno Moore, the able and pro
gressive farm demonstration agent of
Edgecombe, is in Wilmington attend
ing the annual meeting of North
Carolina county agents, and he can
tell a wonderful story about the prac
tical way in which his home bank has
stood back of his important work. He
can also make a revelation concern
ing the manner in which farmers un
der his lead have Burbanked cotton,
and produced one of the most prolific
and superior varieties of cotton in
the cotton growing states.

TEN MILLIONS FOR
COTTON. GROWERS
OF NORTH CAROLINA
The North Carolina cotton
growers have gotten all they ask
ed for from the War Finance
Corporation. They asked for 10
million dollars, and they got it.
The North Carolina delegation
was in Washington City yester
day. This amount will be amply
sufficient to provide for the ne
cessities of the 27,000 cotton
growers of North Carolina.
These advances will be for the
orderly marketing of cotton this
fall. Edgecombe farmers should
know what has been done for
them and now there is no reason1
why any cotton producer in the
county should refuse to sign up
for his cotton and get into the
game.

D. S. SENATE RAGE
i
By Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 13. Six
candidates, including 'Senator I'ome
rone himself, want to become United
States senator from Ohio at the con
clusion of Senator Atlee Pomerene's
term next March 4.
Four Republicans and two Demo
crats have entered for the nomina
tion at the Ohio state-wide primaries
on August 8. Senator Pomerene's
lone opponent is former Congressman
John J' Lentz, of Columbus, presi
dent if the American Insurance Un
ion, who was defeated for the nomi
nation by Senator Pomerene 6 years
ago. Pomerene's friends have 'said
they are not taking the Lentz candi
dacy seriously, and that they expect
the senior Ohio senator to be renom
inated by a large vote.
In the Republican camp, the main
contest, politicians say, appears to be
between Congressman Simeon 1). Fess
of Yellow Springs, who is chairman
of the National Republican Congres-i
sional Committee, and Charles Dick,
of Akron, former V. S. senator from
Ohio and author of the Dick National
Guard law. Fess is considered strong
hdvocate of national prohibition and
a supporter of the Harding adminis
tration. Dick was defeated for renom
ination six years ago and his entry
into the present campaign caused a
surprise in political circles.
Opposed to Fess and Dick are Jno.
W. Arnold of Columbus, former lieu
tenant governor, and David W. Wood,
a civil war veteran anil an inmate of
the oTio Soldiers Home at Sandusky.
Although chief interest in the pri
mary aTpears to be centering in the
contest for the Republican nomina
tion for governor, the Democratic
gubernatorial fight is attracting con
siderable attention.
Despite the claims of friends that
he should have had no opposition be
cause he was the defeated candidate
two years ago, former State Auditor
A. Vie Donakey, of New Philadelphia,
is opposed by three other contestants.
Those, opposing him for the nomi
nation are James (I. Johnson, of
Springfield, a justice of the Ohio su
preme court; Thomas J.-. Duffy, of
East Liverpool, head of the state in
dustrial commission, and A. P. San
dles of Ottawa, for several years sec
retary of the state board of agricul
ture. However, Sandles' name may not
get on the ballots because of an alleg
ed technicality. While his petition
filed with the secretary of state bore
his name, investigation disclosed that
the petition was signed by his secre
tary while he was out of the state on
a speaking tour. His name has been
ruled out by the secretary of state,
but his friends are urging him to ap
peal to the courts.
Donahey, a former member of the
legislature and a delegate to the Ohio
constitutional convention in 1912,
won the Democratic nomination for
governor two years ago, but was de-
f eated for election by Harry Davis of ,
Cleveland ill the Republican landslide
of that year. Both he and Duffy claim
strong labor support.

CHICAGO, July 13. B. M.
Jewell, head of the striking
railroad shopmen, today sent a
telegram to President Hai'ding
replying to the president's pro
clamation on the strike situa
tion and or-enincr a new nhase )
of grievances of the striking
shopmen.
The telegram, signed also by
the presidents of the six shop
crafts, said the men walked out
because wages fixed by the La
bor Board were in violation of
provisions of the Transporta
tion Act. Because of the viola
tion of the Labor Board's deci
sion and the railroads, striking
shopmen insisted that no inter
ruption of commerce or inter
ference with mails had been
caused by any unlawful act by
the shopmen.
No definite reply to the shop
men's strike representatives to
the railroad executives had
been received at noon today.
The executives said they would
notify Hooper' of their answer
"later."

WASHINGTON, July 13. If you
want a job on a farm your chances of
getting it are slightly better than 50
per ce.it if vou are married, and then
slightly less than SO percent if single,
says the Department of Agriculture.
If you are married and have children .
your chances are around 45 percent.
The Department's statistics show
that of 1,201 farm jobs advertised in
eastern farm papers from 1920 to
1022, single men were wanted in 387 j
instances, and married men in 4io.
In 3U(i cases the social requirements j
were

quently cannot employ married men,
the department found. If the farmer
has a dwelling for a laborer's family
he prefers that it should be occupied.
