NORTH CAROLINA
COTTON IS BEST
Lndi Cotton Producing Bel*
With Condition Of 82 Por
Coot Normal
Raleigh' August 4.— North Car
olina leads the cotton-producing belt
with a condition of 82 per cent of
normal. The average of the wliole
hell is 07 i»*r cent. This forecast*
a July prospect of 875,0U0 bales for
this Slate aiul II,510,(XX) bale* for
the L'nifed State*.
The cotton crop is unusually
promising in must parts of North
Carolina a* returned or a basis of
July 25th condition*. Complaint
is made from tlic southern Pied
mont area that the crop is damaged
due to dry weather. Rain is needed
especially in the IHedmont counties
’Ihe damage by the bull weevil is
conspicuous from .Mecklenburg to
the coast with several complaints
showing up in the central Piedmont
and northern coastal counties, al
Uiough thcie is evidence that the
damage in the Utter area is uot as
great as was expected. This is to
• iNW CAtcin iiuv in iiac iriuiai
coastal licit *l*o. The loll weevil
ravage*, usually show up effectively
after July 25th.
The crop is late and the plants
somewhat small, but they are welt
fruited, which after all is the valu
able factor. The crop throughout
the Slate is generally in a good state
cultivation and growing nicely The
stands are usually good and the
crop* are dean. As many reported,
it is the finest crop in many years in
North Carolina. Very few place*
report poor stand*, these being pri
marily in the lower Piedmont,
while die northern part of the State
report* the red spider skiing some
damage. The old adage that a dry
June will make a good cotton crop
seems to be holding true this year.
The condition is consistently
good, but the poorest area is 79 per
rent in Us* lower Central or Pi*d
dition is reported to be 82 5 per
cent of a full crop The central
coastal area report* live best crop,
at over 90 per cent of normal. A
normal condition means that which
would result if weather and culti
vation were to be favorable through
out the season. The conditions
mentioned do not tndude any fac
tors that may I* effective after thia
date.

four miles northeast of Dunn, in
tl>e midst of a rain and electric
storm, and the surrounding* indi
cated that it had been in operation
only a few minutes before their ar
rival In fact, the still was so hot
when the officers reached it that
they ltad to ^ive it time to cool
before taking it down.
The still was a dandy outfit for
making " something to drink,” and
had a capacity of fifty gallons. It
was well built, and the officers think
it had been operated at that partic
ular spot for some time. Just
enough beer for another " run ” of
fifty rations was found at the still,
though all the finished product had
been taken away by the owners.
The posse making the raid and
raptnre was composed of Officers
A. B. Adairs, L. W. Tart, H. U.
McLeod and W. t Nipper. The
stiff was brought to Dunn for safe
keeping
GUILTY CONSCIENCE

Storing a lone quart of “ white

resulted in the fleeing of Jim

The officers were led to believe that
the whiskey was there, and it was
* while they were searching for it
that Jim left by way of the bock
door and hied himself to part* un

mother of a young bnby, informed
the officers that the whiskey had

that whiskey in larger quantities
had recently been stored in the

six mile* north of here, and all it*

GODWIN’S CHOKE
U Right .CM«r>Bki«ady And
Becsass^df Retard Aa
Because of his record at a states
man, as a citizen and as a business
nan, and because hi I experience in
biwnets and statecraft inn neatly
it* him for the office of chief exec
Jtive of the United States, William
j'bb* McAdoo should be chosen the
Democratic nominee for President
n the next convention. This is the
opinion of Hannibal LaPayette
Godwin, who for 14 years was rep
resentative in Congress for the sixth
of North Carolina and-who
rricl than ta any other man.
" Ry tem|>erament and training
ind by sheer ability,’' the former rep
resentative said today, " Mr. Mc
Adoo is the superior of any prob
able candidate for the Democratic
nomination. 'Before he became a
national political figure as a mem
ber of President Wilson's cabinet,
he already had become a national
figure as a business executive
through his engineering of the stu
pendous Hudson river tunnels proj
ect ; and. while in Mr. Wilson's cab
inet, as secretary of the treasury,
having the herculean task of finarfc
ing the war, he demonstrated to the
work! that as a statesman and an
executive he was the peer of the
world’s best.’’
Democracy would do well by it
self to name the former secretary,
Mr. Godwin hclieves. To begm
with, he points out, no man
America is better known and none
is more popular. " The people of
the United States Hive known Mr
McAdoo since he began the Hud

they know of him is good. No
propaganda will be necessary to

the public knows and admires him
.for hi* achievement and for his
simpllcty.”
Mr .McAdoo U " right geo

Mr. Godwin thinks. He was horn
in Georgia, educated in Tennessee,
and gained hi* greatest business
success m New YorhL Now he
has moved to California. The
three great divisions of the court
can claim him as their own.
South, the North and the
West, Mr. Godwin is confident,
will flock to the banner of Mc
Adoo.
That capita) and tabor will find
Mr. McAdoo act

fidence of capital and the trust of
labor,” he declares, “because hi*
record justifies that confidence
and that trust ”
In addition to all the fine qual
ities which fit him for leadership
on the next ticket, Mr. Godwin be
lieves that no other man Is so thor
oughly capable of bringing all far
lions of the party together for the
big battle to be waged between now
and election day. Wilton Demo
crat and Bryan Democrat can rally
to the McAdoo standard without
any qualm of conscience, for he
represent* the be*t of both ele
ments.
Mr. Godwin gave the foregoing
interview following a cun ferente
with some of the political leader*
of the sixth district. Moat of tha
leaders are McAdoo man, and it is
their opinion that the entire dis

continued By The Town
Father*
The work of the whole-time pub
lic nurse in Dnnn will lie difeon
tlimed after this month. This was
decided at the regular semi-monthly
meeting of the mayor and town
commissioners last evening. Miss
Agnes Harm, who has served in
that capacity since September 1,
last year, has done efficient work
and her service* have proved highly
satisfactory.
The plan under which the whole
time nurse wa» employed a year
ago provided that the town pay one
half of the expense and the local
Red Cross chapter I be other. Miss
Harris was paid a salary of $125
a month and furnished an automo
bile for use in the work. The fact
that the funds of the local Red Cross
chapter were not sufficient to finance
the work was the chief reason for
discontinuing it.
An order was passed increasing

San Francisco. Cal., Aug. 4.—An
avenue of mourning stretched to-.
R aided in the nation's capital, and
over it for four days and night*
will travel a funeral tram bearing
the body of President Hardily.
When the train, draped in Mack,
drew out of a black-draped station
here tonight, there began the *ad
dest transcontinental trip in the hi*
lory of the nation There have
been funeral train* hearing the bod
ies of chief executives of the re
pubic before, but no such train eret
passed over so lung a route.
Ninety and a half hour* will be
required for the trip, when it
ended at 1:30 p. m , Tuesday. The
body of Warren G. Harding will
rest a while in the White House,
where he served the American peo

der and loving care of neighbors
and friends until the following day,
when funeral services will he held

Sail Francisco was afforded the
first opportunity to pay respects to
the dead leader when the body was
taken from the l‘alace hotel, where
it had rested since the end ratne last
night, to the Third and Townsend
street station. Before the long
trip across the continent is ended
almost countless other communities

to a lesser degree, foe the train only
will be stopjH-d to change engines
and fur other operating purposes
U is expected that |>eop)e will gather
along the route the entire way and
with uncovered heads pay not only
dieir personal respects hut those of
the whole American nation.
The arrangements for the trip to
Washington were made by the
grief stricken members of the Pres
ident’s party today while literally
thousand* stood about the hotel or
walked slowly through the ltd Wes
The 14ans were all submitted to
Mrs. Harding for final approval,
and she was able to give them her
attention, for she was still bearing
up well under the load of sorrow.
