Enthusiasm Runs High As |
1st Period Draws to Close
Big Vote Count Ends Saturday Night, Dec. 1st;
Contestants Are Working Hard To
"Cinch" Their Choice
GET BUSY IF YOU WANT TO
WIN THE HANDSOME PRIZES
Contestants Are So Closely Bunched That Who
ever Makes the Greatest Effort by Saturday
Night Can Win. Collect All Your Promises
Now?To-day!
Candidates in The Enterprise au
tomobile prize campaign have reach
ed the turn, maneuvered themselves
into position for the final go, and
from now until the close of the first
period, Saturday, night at 9 o'clock,
will be battling for supremacy under
whip and spur.
Last Chance for Big Votes.
Nine o'clock Saturday night is pos
itively your last chance to enter sub
scriptions and secure the maximum [
number of votes on same.
Never again after this time will it
be possible to get the full voting
power on subscriptions. This is fin
al and fair warning. If you enter
tain any desire whatever of being
declared the winner of the big motor
car to be awarded the coming sea
son, do not fail to turn in every
available subscription to your ac
count before the close of the "First
Period."
Not to do so simply means that
you will have to redouble your efr
forts during the remainder of the
race to make up for lost ground. A
few long terra subscriptions NOW
may be the very ones needed to
"cinch" the big prize; they could
hardly help but win one of the ma
jor awards.
Speed Will Win.
The crucial test is now at hand. If
you ever intend to do anything big
in this race do it now. Instead of
being in second, third, fourth, or
fifth place get up at the top and stay
there. Now is the time to make rea
sonably certain of the prize you most I
desire. J
The Big Chance. n
The big chance to drive home a
victory in The Enterprise's big
$2,000 race is stirring up a whirl
wind of action hitherto unrecorded.
Candidates are giving vigorous ac
count of themselves with the result
that vote scores are climbing up
more rapidly than at any time since
the race began.
It is quite evident that all aspir
ants realize the wholesome effort
and will derive rich rewards for each
and every combination of $9.00 in
subscriptions constitutes a club
worth 100,000 extra votes.
To Win Is Object.
To win a luxurious automobile is
the only object firmly fixed in the
mind at every candidate. It will not
be long before one of these fortu
nate candidates will be gliding along
in a fine new automobile ? a gift
from The Enterprise in return for
their ability to bustle.'
Many other handsome awards will
be forthcoming at the close of the
race. Altogether a list of $2,000 in
prizes will be distributed gratis
among the lucky candidates and the
few days until the close will decide
who they will be..
Interest Is Great.
Out in the country the public is
largely centered on the outcome of
the race. The same is true in the
city. Nearly everyone has a favorite
candidate who is pluckily arriving to
bring honor to the many friends he
? or she represents, as well as to gain
personal reward. In some cases the
entire neighborhood seems to have
arisen to the occasion determined to
see that their favorite comes out
winner. >

of holding all your votes than to
suffer a forfeiture of just enough
votes to keep you from winning a
prize.
Another thing that candidates are
careless in is the filling out of the
stubs. Perhaps the name is left off
or the address or part of it with the
result that the paper cannot be de
livered. Fill out every line on the
subscription stub?and write plainly.
Just Two Days Left.
Just two days remain of the first
period schedule. If you want to
make certain of winning do every
thing possible in the way of securing
subscriptions during these days.
One club will accompli?1 wonders, i
But you are not limited to one club,
if you can get two or three, or more.
Every club means several hundred 'i
thousand votes.
And your special attention is call- 1
ed too, to the thousands of votes to
be secured by getting second pay
ments on subscriptions that have
been secured earlier in this election.
This, week, then, is the time to
"dig in" and gather votes while they i
are plentiful, because of the vote of- -j
fers. ? The new six years subserip- ]
tions which count 450,000 votes will i
be the means of many candidates <
coming from low to high positions i
on the list and will be the oppor- <

to go over the top in a few days. i

Meeting Held in Wilson

Rocky Mount, Wilson
Well Represented; Ted
Johnson Was Master
of Ceremonies..
Wilson, Nov. 28th. ? The District
Rotary meeting held hers last eve*
ning in the dining room of the Cherry
hotel was a tremendous success.
More than a hundred Rotarians sat
down to a delicious turkey dinner,
with fixings; and after the dinner was
partaken of, Hon. Ted Johnson, of
Raleigh, Master of Geremonies, kept
the company on the quivive of inter
est and expectancy with his sallies of
wit and repartee.
Secretary Sigwald, of Wilson, led
the singing, with Mi as Elizabeth
Butler, pianist of the Wilson club,
accompanying. The appreciation of
the gathering was expressed to Miss
Butler by Mr. Johnson.
Hie clubs composing' the district,
are Clayton, Farmville, Rocky Mount,
Raleigh, Tarboro, Zebulon and Wil
son, and on the roll call it was found
that each club was represented.
The following presidents of. the
clubs and the number in attendance
follows: Farmville, Alex Rouse, 13;
Rocky Mount, A1 Brandon 14; Ral
eigh, Fred Hale, 17; Clayton, Walter
Creeeh, 5; Zebulon, Elmer Moser, 5;
Tarboro, R. M. Fountain, 2; Wilson,
Warren Whitmore^l.
Governor Tom Sykes, who was in
vited, wired his regrets at his in
ability to attend.
Rev. Mr. Bishop, of Rocky Mount,
delivered the invocation, and later on
in the meeting wanted to know who
had made the most perfect score in
attendance, and it was decided, that
Claude Gaskms, of Greenville, had the
most perfect record, not having miss
ed a meeting since he became a mem
ber. Mr. Graham Woodard, of Wil
son, had a perfect score for 7 years.
Mr. Johnson discussed the matter
of "On to Mexico," where the inter
national meeting will be held.
He said in part that Mexico City
would make an ideal place to visit
and attend the convention. The in
terest manifested by the Rotary Club
in the City of Mexico is outstanding,
and worthy of emulation, and it is
making extensive arrangements to
mtertain the convention.
Added interest to North Carolin
ians is the fact that Hon. Josephus
Daniels is Ambassador to Mexico,
and that Mr. Daniels is lending his
time and attention to the forthcom
ing convention.
The District Rotary meeting will
be held with the club at Raleigh and.
this matter was interestingly dis
missed by Hon. L M. Bailey, of Ral
iigb, who said that he wanted the
members to come to Raleigh and
make of this event the biggest in the
history of the organization. That
when they came he wanted them to
be full of the Rotary spirit, and en
joy their stay.
He urged the members to bring
their wives and sweethearts, in
formed them that Mrs. Johnson is a
Bne Rotary Ann, and that she -ind
jther ladies were planning to give
the visitors a good time.
The address of the evening was
delivered by Dr. C. A. Jarman, of the
Atlantic Christian College, who chose <
for his. subject, "Thanksgiving,"
Dr. Jarman contrasted the situa
tion in-the world today with its un
rest, unemployment, and the tremen

blessings that have been poured out.

| Cotton Has Longer
StapleTbis Ssssm
Says Gleen R. Smith of
N. C. Agricultural Ex
j periment Station
The staple length of North Caro
lina cotton i* greatly unproved this
year. Of the cotton ginned through ?
October 16, approximately 67 par
cent had a staple length of an inch I
lor longer, while last season only 27
percent of that ginned to this date
was an inch or longer. Only 21 per
cent of that ginned has been lees
than 16-16 inch, while 44 percent of
that ginned to this date last year
J was less than 16-16 inch.
J The staple length of North Caro
I liqa cotton has generally been better
than that of Alabama and Georgia,
but this year a larger percentage is
one inch and 1 1-16 inch staple than
any state east of the Mississippi
Delta' area. ,
The outstanding feature of this
year's crop is the high percentage
of one in and 1 1-6 inch staple. Of
that ginned to October 1$, approxi
mately 86 percent was one inch and
20 percent was 1 1-16 inch. This
condition is very desirable since it I
makes possible for the larger staple
cotton to be bought in large even
running lots. Heretofore, the trade
has contended that even though there
were some local cotton of an inch I
or longer staple, it was in such a
small quantity that they found it
desirable to boy in areas where lar
ger lots could be obtained. There
fore, the demand for North Caro
lina cotton should be relatively
greater than in previous seasons. It I
should also be noted that cotton of
the above staple length is in great
est demand by local mills.
There is but little difference in I
grade from that of last year. Even
though there has been a considerable
amount of rain this season, farmers
have not rushed the cotton to the
gin as rapidly as in previous sea
sons and much of the cotton has had
a chance to dry out before being I
ginned. Of the cotton ginned to j
October 18, approximately 33 per-1 j
cent was Strict Middling- or better
and 34 percent was Middling (White
and eoctra White), The grade in I j
some cases was lowered because of j
being ginned while containing ex
cessive moisture.
The United' States uepartmero ox
Agriculture in cooperation with the
North Carolina Agricultural Experi
ment Station classes, samples secured
from representative gins and make
weekly reports as to the grade and
staple of the current crop. It will
be of interest to watch these reports
daring the remainder of the season.
Since the quality of cotton produc
ed has been restricted, apparently
the farmers realize that it pays to
produce cotton of a high spinning
value. Improved varieties produc
ing a staple of one inch to 1 1-16
inch, such aa Farm Relief, Mexican <
Big Boll, Cokera 884 and Cokers 6, ,
have proven to be well adapted to
local conditions. It should be realiz
ed at picking and ginning time, how- 1
ever, that seed must be kept pure if
they are not too soon "run out"

be handled during the next week by
speeding up sales a bit, so the mar
ket will reopeif with expectation of
clearing up the odds and ends and
reaching the 19 million level by next
Friday.
On the verge of concluding the
most successful season in its history,
this market has sold to date 18,869,
224 pounds for $5,729,669 at an
average of $30.37. Receipts at this
time last season had reached a total
of 20,126,530 pounds, which had

Kerr-Smith Tobacco
Control Act Attacked
As "Unconstitutional"
I. tjl':3g&&sJSt? ~ ? ?
Injunction Sought To
Restrain Collection; Is
Not Revenue Measure
and Is Not Enacted For
the Purpose of Raising
Revenue.
????
Louisville, Ky., Nov. 28th. ? The
Kerr-Smith tobacco control act was
attacked as unconstitutional and an
injunction was sought to restrain
collection of its 25 per cent tax on
growers who failed to sign the gov
ernment crop reduction agreement in
a suit filed in United States District
court here today.
The suit filed in behalf of W. S.
Frank and Oscar Penn, Fayette
County, Kentucky, tobacco producers
doing business under the name of
Penn Brothers, named as defendants
Seltdon R. Glenn, U. S. Collector of
Internal Revenue here and Max Swin
ford, U. S. District attorney for the
Houston, Ky., district.
The suit charges:
"The act is not a revenue measure
and was not enacted for the purpose
of raising revenues.
"It was enacted for the purpose of
regulating, restricting and controll
ing acreage and the quantity of to
bacco raised.
"It constitutes an effort on the
part of congress to regulate beyond
its power under the constitution to
do so.
"The act exceeds the power of con
gress to regulate interstate com
merce.
"In violation of the fifth amend
ment it deprives citizens of property
without due process of law.
"It is an arbitrary penalty and is
unreasonable. . ? .
"It violates the 10th amendment
reserving to states powers not dele
gated by the constitution to congress.
"Because of centain exemptions
allowed Maryland and Virginia to
bacco growers it violates article 1
of the constitution which provides
uniform duties throughout the United
States."
