OPEN SEPTEMBER 1
Home B.AL Association Will
Offer Sixth Stock
■_!
Following the |dan umlcr which
they first started, of opening new
series of slock every few months,
the board of directors of the llonK
Building and Loan Association have
authorited the opening of the sixth
series on September 1st. Opening
new series of stock gives an oppor
utility for investment without pay -
ing back to the lieginning o( tlie se
ries then in force. So far five dif
ferent series of stock have licen
opened, and there are now over
three thousand shares of stock in
force.
A properly conducted Iwiilding
v and loan association is now a ne
cessity for any growing town or
community, and serves it in an ef
fective way and in a manner that
no other institution docs Not only
does it afford an eBay plan for every
citizen to own hi* own home, but it
has also proven the most popular
mefhzvl frvr •ttitaMsti. Lau....
ably more than all other organiza
tions, the building and loan astocia
tions of the country have encour
aged and developed the iilea of
thrift and repeatedly emphasized
the necenity of every one savinr a
part of their earnings Their plan
of systematic saving is attractive to
both rich and poor, and the
investment is both safe and
profitable. All loans are se
cured by first mortgages on the
property and also by rhe stock in
the association held by the imlivid
ual, making the security more valu
able on every weekly or monthly
payment marie by the borrower. The
stock pays over »x per cent interest
on the investment and Is non-tax
able, which makes it doubly attract
ive, either as a savings proposition
nr as an investmnet in laid-up stock
Dunn and surrounding common
ity should easily absorb and carry at
m unity Secretary F.ugenc Lee
stales that at the present time 3,25(1
shares are active and in force, lie
expects to disi>oee of enough share*
in the new scries ofiening September
1st to increase the shares in force
lo four thousand.
Looking around at the splendid
results obtained in relieving the
housing sltortage in Dunn, and
knowing the business-like methods
with which the association is con
ducted, there should be no cause
fix the directors of the associate
not to feel that their urgunizatior
has the confirlcnrc of ihe puj|ile 01
that enough shares will be sub
scribed in this new series to easily
increase the number in force to ovet
the four thousand expected.

Victim In Addition To HU
Own CmfMtion
Gastonia, Aug. 7.— Ira Davis, 17
year-old self-con fussed negro youth,
charged with an attempted assault
upon Miss Anna Rhvnc, near Dallas
veterday afternoon, was bound over
to court under a $10,000 bond this
afternoon following a preliminary
hearing before Squire S. S. Morris.
The hearing was conducted by
Solicitor John G. Carpenter. Davis
had no attorney. Advised hy the
solicitor that he need make no state
ment, the negro said nothing in his
defense save to plead not guilty to
the charge.
The only evidence introduced was
that of Joe W Mitchell, a deputy
sheriff, who lives about two miles
from the scene of the alleged at
tempted assault. Mitchell espied
Davis on the streets of Gastonia last
night at 10 o'clock, and from the
descrijition given recognised the nc

section, and had attended a negro
moving picture ihow earlier in the
evening.
The. negro offered no resistance,
and at first denied all knowledge of
the affair. Later he confessed. He
wa* taken to the Rhvnc home this
morning and was identified by Miss
Rhyne.
No violence it anticipated. There
was no sign of any excitement last
cveninng when the negro was arrest
ed snd brought to the city jail in the
midst of a curious crowd. The ap
pearance of the negro pmhaWy ac
counts for this. He is a timid look
ing mulatto youth, small of stature,
weighing probably 125 pounds. He
is evidently weak minded and irre
sponsible from hi* demeanor at the
trial.
He is a native of this sect ion, and
was raised, on a farm two mile*

Ex Sheriff W. H. Turingtoo,
who lives on R. 2 from Duke, was
a Dunn visitor Saturday. Mr. Tur
lington reported promising crops in
his section with but little apparent
damage from the boll weevil. While
•dmitt ing that cotton is shedding
its fruit very freely, he thinks that
is but natural. lie remcmlwrs that
the cotton weed always loses from
>0 to 60 per cent of its fruit, and
j>ointed out that the same thing
might be expected this year. Crops
that had seemingly been ruined by
the drought have “ come out " and
promise a good harvest, he said.

Raleigh, Ang. A- To give the
Tarlted swine grower something to
think about. W. VV. Shay, in charge
of swine extension work (or the
Stale College and Department of
Agriruhwrr. has collected some fact*
tint he says will be of mteerst 10
each one. Right now, he says then
exists a surplus of between shr and
seven million heat! of hogs. The
Chicago rwirc for these hog* is |775
per hundred weight and the Balti
more price is *9. Both of these
price* at* for corn fed animals
Xow, Mr Shay thinks Hum a
number of North Carolina fanner*
believe that they cannot compete
with tb* com belt farmer in rais
ing com, for the reason that our
average acre yield is about 20 bush
el spec acre, while that for Iowa is
about 40 bushel* per act*.
,Vet he say*. "The** are many
farm* in North Carolina that will
I Torture an average of 40 bushels
|wr acre witu about $2.50 worth of
fertiliser put under corn following
a legume. Ar. acre of com can be
railed in North Carolina aa cheaaAv
a* it can in Iowa or ItlWiosa, and if
the land will produce 40 bnahehi
with IB outlay of not over $2.50 for .
fertiliser, then North Carolina com
will cost no more per boahel than
the com of those two Stale*.
“ Igt u* study the price* for hogs
ruling in the two section*. The best

Carolina, will show a profit under
