Speakers urged the farmers to pio 1 duct- enough livestock to supply th !. annual demand of their own counties amounting to about 5 ,000 ,000 Dcunds It was shown that altnougn this section is suited for livestock raising that it imports far more meat than it produces.

This can be done more easily for , lambs and beef cattle than for ho^ as there arc practically none for the market now. It was pointed out that the beef and sheep men should en-, courage hog Taisers as hogs will make | the market stronger and more diver- , sifted. Idle acres on the farms ot these 18 counties, if properly pl^nted 'n permanent pastures and finishing feed crops, can be made to support and produce ten times the livestock now grown in this area, Horace Mc-| Doweli, livestock promotion managei for the South for Swift and Com-, pany and manager of the Moultrie, Ga? plant told the crowd.

State Democratic Con vention, Raleigh. Although objection has been made : to holding the precinct meetings on i the primary day, on the ground that Democrats would be busy, the date J' fixed by the executive committee, ' June 4, will stand in practically every instance. The precinct meetings elect delegates to the county conven tions, the county conventions elect delegates to the State convention , and the State convention elects dele- ! gates to the National Democratic ' Convention in Chicago the latter part of Jane.

HUNGRY WOMEN AND LITTLE CHILDREN ASKING FOR BREAD Miss Florence Kern And As sociates Show Strain Under Which They Work. PROF. JONES HAS PAID ONLY SALARY GIVEN OUT Some Have Given, Others Give Nothing ? .Voice Is Sav ing, "I Was Hungry*'. "They're milling around out there, hungry, hopeless, and we have noth ing in here to give them except po tatoes, some canned goods and some clothing. God alone knows what ??n be done, for I am at the end of the row." Jt was Miss Florence Kern w)kl/5g-. For a long time Miss Kern has been doing the actual work for the Asso ciated Charities. The peojtfc were crowded into the headquarter* zoom, about the door and along th<* street in front of the place. There xttrt about four womer. to each mail in the crowd, and a majority of the womea had babies in their arms, or little ones tugging at their skirts, 'or hcth. That there were hungry people in the crowd no one who looked upon then* could have doubted. It is equally true that there were professional bnma and beggars in the crowd, unworthy, of course, of any assistance from any source. But these constituted only a small portion of the crowd. Most of them were needy, many actually hungry. Miss Kern's heart was heavy, iuara in her eyes, a tremor in her voice. "Many people have given until h has hurt them," she said, "while martf others in the town have given noth ing. This is Monday. I don't know what the situation will bo by the end of the week," she said. Miss Kern does her own work at home, and then acts, as Uncle Tom Galloway stated it, as liquidating agent for the forces of depression. It is a hard task, thix thing that Miss Kern is doing. It i* a service so nearly like that perform ed by Jesus Christ when Sit- was here on earth and mixed and mingled witb suffering humanity that there is a kind of sacred air about the plaee. Miss Kern is not being treated prop erly by some people of th<* town, if reports are true. Some people say they will not do nate to the Associated Charities be cause there are three or four pc-op ie drawing salaries from the charity fund. This is not true at all. No one has ever drawn any pay for any work done for charity with the exception of a small sum drawn by Miss Kern during January and February, when she was giving her whole time to the work. She was given a little- some thing then, because, as it happens. Miss Kern must also eat, if she is to live. But she drew nothing from anv funds or donations made to the As sociated Charities. All that she re ceived was given to her by Prof. J. B. Jones, out of his own pocketbook. Everything that has been donated to the Associated Charities has been passed on to the poor of the town and county. Women and children suffer pangs of hunger, while people fume and fuss about some false report a? to th-r workings of the charity group. Miss Kern is ready to resign, and turn the work over to any one wlv will take it up. She cannot much long er endure the strain or suffer the constant cortact with suffering hu manity, unable to relieve thoir dis tress. It is a problem.
