Madrid, April 14th.?King Alfonso, the last of the Bourbons, abdicated at 6 o'clock this evening (1 p. nu, ST. a T.) k; The monarch, who was born a king and had reigned in 4he ancient Spanish capital more than a quarter of a century, this afternoon bowed to the sweeping demands for a republic that his subjects voiced last Snuday, and stepped out Niceto Alcala Zamora, Republican leader, who not so many weeks ago was in jail for his activities, is pro visional president. Although the king's abduction has been an unquestioned outcome of the I political crises for the past few days, 1 it was not until the last moment that j he stepped from power. At 4:45 p. m., Alcala Zamora had found it nesessary to send an ultima tum to the king's ministers saying that unless a republic were formally accepted within an hour the Republi cans would not be responsible for the consequences. The hour went by and then just fifteen minutes after the ultimatum had expired the abdication of the king became a reality. The announcement was made ex actly at six o'clock after a final ses sion with the cabinet in the royal palace. A Republican government, with Al cala Zaraora as president, took charge of the ancient and historic monarchy immediately. With the proclamation of a repub lic at Barcelonia this morning and similar proclamations at Saragoaa, San Sebstin and other cities it be came a certainty that the king would king actually had abdicated flew thick and fast, but it was until six o'clock tonight that Alfonso's reign came to an end which for many years he had successfully avoided in the face of frequent crises. King Alfonso XIII assumed the throne in 1902 at 16 years of age. He married Prince Victoria Eugenie of England in 1903 and his wedding was marred by an attempt on his life. Early in his reign he showed a dis position to think for himself and to be a king in fact as well as in name. Throughout his reign King Alfon so was harrassed by attempted as sassinations and movements against the crown. He appointed General Primo De Rivera prime minister in 1923 with the powers of a dictator but even this did not stem the rising tide of Republicanism. Only recently he restored constitutional privileges and provided for a parlimentary elec tion program. SEVERAL FACTORS CAUSED EXISTING FARM DEPRESSION ? ? ? Unfavorable national and state agriculturial policies, neglect by the agricultlral press and absentee land lordism are three of the main factors causing the present agricultlrial de bacle in this State, in the opinion of Dr. G. W. Forster, agricultural eco nomist at State Coliege. From the national stanpoint, . the land policy inaugurated by Alexan der Hamilton years ago has liad its effect; but, the chief cause, says Dr. Forster, is the poor agricultural lead ership, both federal and State, which farmers have had since the World War. Federal leadership has been especially defective as evidenced by the handling of the international debt problem and the insistence on a high tariff. State leadership has neglect ed' research and extension work in agricultural economics and rural soci ology. . . Dr. Forster sayBjalso the agricul tural press has failed to emphasize the economic and social problems of the farmer and he advocates the es tablishment of a state publication to deal exclusively with these matters. The absentee landlord is one of the greatest barriers to rural pro gress in North Carolina. This per son is not interested in farming 04 therefore those needed adjustments in production which should be made, are never considered. The state needs an intelligent group of bona fide farmers and when this has been secured, the necessary changes will be made quick ly and at the right time, says the economist Became of the decline is farm prices and the current high taxes on ?ad, Forster says the present value of many farms is less than the out standing indebtedness. Many men mho have not yet given up their farms have no equity in them. ?i ? 1 - . fc ' I " -.? \ wii ? *'? t ?? ? ? - *v; . ? , {v
