Contestants Working Hard
As Second Period v
? ^
Leaders Bunched in I
Race For First Place;
Few Subscriptions Can
Change Entire Stand- j
ing of List I
It is only natural with the close of 1
the first period of the Farmville j
Enterprise's subscription campaign |j
that the contestants should have I
swelled their vote totals to a high II
mark as compared to last week. -- (I
Th first period of the campaign!
which closed last Saturday night was 11
a tremendous success. Hundreds off
thousands of votes were issued and II
eveery live candidate profit d might-j
ily thereby. Jj
The competition, therefore, so far I
as the relative standing of the can- f
didates are concerned, depends en- j
tirely upon the results obtained by j
the various contestants between now
ad the finish as who the ultimate f
winners will be.
The above is no "mere talk" forj
the sake of telling, but real-facts?
theories or rumors notwithstanding. J
The real fight for supremacy will
be fought out during the next six
teen days for the entire campaign
comes to a close Saturday, October
30th.
With the close of the all-important
"second period" just two days off
candidates in the big prize campaign
are preparing with feverish haste and
intensity to make their final stand?
close of the "second period" vote
schedule. Realization that subscrip
tions the next two days count double <
the number of votes that they have '
the final week of the campaign is j
spurring every candidate to greater 4
activity. The increasing number of t
votes being cast is evidence of great- j
er effort put forth by nearly every 1
candidate.
?- ? /w .
Kace is uoee 5
In 3pite of the large number of <
vote* being caat no one candidate ap- t
pears to be gaining an? special ad- <
vantage. Thus far all seem to be j
holding their own. During the week
since the votes were last published 1
several of the candidates at some ]
time or other has occupied first j
place. In fact, so close is the race
that as the candidates turned in
in their votes they usually went into
first place, only to be disloged when
another turned in. At the present
tme it is "anybody's race." So close 1
are the headliners that anyone can 1
"cinch" first place with just a few
good subscriptin*.
The large number of EXTENTION
Payments being received shows how .
intense the efforts to obtain votes 1
really are. Extensions on subscript
tons count for thousands of votes 1
while the second period schedule is (
in effect. Contestants and their
friends should endeavor to get as 1
many possible of these during the
remaining hours of the second period.
The candidates who fool them- 1
selves into believing that there will 1
be plenty of time later on to make 1
a showing are the ones who will be 1
badly disappointed when the contest
is over in two weeks. Only two
weeks from Saturday and it will be 1
over. How you use each day if that
time will determine to what extent
you share in the prize distribution. \
Failure to put forth your best effort (
just for one day of these few remain- (
ing days may cost you hundreds of (
dollars. One day wasted may mean
that you gave away the chance you ,
had to win first prize. Can you af- ,
ford to remain idle, not to put forth j
your best efforts to win, when the
time is so short?
Heal Battle Developing
Unmistakable signs of the intense
interest prevailing throughout the
county in the race has reached the
Enterprise office. Each candidate
has her friends who are following i
them. These are rallying to the sup
port of their favorite candidate to
win the cash by giving at second pay
ments and long torn sub sorptions.
Few people there are in this locality
who are not willing to help that fa
vorite to win. All this has had a
most wholesome effect on th indi
vidual contest. More personal pride
is noticeable than usual than in con
testants of this nature. Each wish
to be returned a winner. One states
that not to put forth her very best
efforts would wtcrw her lack of ap
preciation at the help her friends had
given her. Another said; "I owe it
so loyally to do everything I can to
to my fiends who have helped me
wn to repay the confidence they have
put in me by picking me as their
choice to win first piece." There is
every indication that it will take the
beat effort of every candidate to get
them listed among the prize winners.
Just one opportunity missed just one
hour wasted may mean hundreds of
dollars to those who now have an
even chance to win first place with
hard work, hustle and ability to stick

October 18th and continues until Sat

grounds on Falkland highway.
While emphasis has been placed on
he agricultural and industrial ex
libits at this year's fair, the amuse-1
nent part of the fair has not been
>verlooked, as many people enjoy fin-1
shing their day at the fair by going I

vay. For that reason. Kaus United
Shows,. which enjoys the reputation
>f being one of the cleanest amuse
nent enterprises on the road, has I
>een contracted to appear here for
he week of the fair.
There is "monkey-business' on the!
?aus Shows and it is confined to the
nonkey circus which is one of thel
eature attractions. There are so
nany different kinds of monkeys?
! very one of them is an actor. There
ire acrobats, wire walkers, high div
!rs, a monkey who sits at a table and I
ises a knife and fork in eating, and
sven monkey auto drivers who race
iround the circus enclosure, and thel;
nonkey clowns provide plenty of 1
aughs for the spectators.
There are several baby monkeys
cho run around loose and at times
ipset the dignity of the adult monkey 1
ictors, and when they do, they are
aught by their mothers, who after
lapping them for getting into mis- ]
hief, will on the first whimper, hug
he baby monkey to silence it and '
?n being released the baby monk is 1
n mischief again. - J

WORLD WAR OR PEACE?
ROOSEVELTS' SPEECH.
NO ACTION OUTLINED.
WAR SEEMS PROBABLE
TO LIMIT SPENDING.
THE BLACK UPROAR.
DIFFERENT CONCLUSIONS
CASES COMING UP.
(By Hugo S. Sims, Washington Cor
respondent.)
International issues took the spot
light last week when President Roose
velt urged peace-loving nations to
take "concerted action for peace."
"Closely following his utterances, the
League of Nations' Far Eastern Ad
visory Committee condemned Japan
as an invader and treaty-breaker and
recommended that League members
take no action which would weaken
China and that they consider how
far they can extend aid to China. This
was followed by an official statement
of the United States Government that
condemned Japan as a treaty-viola
tor in China and declared that the
conclusions of the Government "are
in general accord" with thfe League
stand.
The President's speech was evident
ly timed to test public sentiment in
this country and to prepare the peo- ,
pie for some undisclosed cooperation
with the other nations to prevent the
spread of "the epidemic of world
lawlessness." Insisting that we are
determined to "keep out war," the \
President declared that he would
"adopt every practicable measure to
avoid involvement in war." At the (
same time, he concluded, "there is {
no escape through mere isolation or (
neutrality," that "the peace of the (
world and the welfare and security ;
of every nation" is being threatened ,
by those willing to "run the risk of
plunging the whole world into war (
by invading and violating in contrav
ention of solemn treaties the territory
of other nations that have done them
no real harm and which are too weak
to protect themselves adequately." (
~ <
With "innocent peoples and nations" .
being "cruelly sacrificed to the greed !
tor power and supremacy which is
devoid of all sense of justice and .
fiumane consideration," Mr. Roose
velt insisted that if these things do
"come to pass in other parts of the
world, let no one imagine that Amer
ica will escape, that it may expect
mercy that this Western Hemisphere
will not be attacked and that it will
continue tranquilly and peacefully to
carry on the ethics and arts of civil
ization."
While the President's address did
not attempt to formulate any pro
gram of action, there was reiterated
insistence that "the peace-loving na- t
tions must make a concerted effort to
uphold law, and principles on which '
alone peace can rest secure." He said <
"The overwhelming majority of the i
peoples and nations of the world to- i
day want to live in peace," but that
their freedom and security are being
"jeopardzed by the remaining ten per
cent, who are threatening a break
down of all international order and
law." He declared that the ninety pel
cent, "can and must find some way i
to make their will prevail," and that
this expression must be "to the end
that nations that may be tempted to i
violate their agreements and the
rights of others will desist from such
a cause,"
With the nations of the world grop
ing for effective leadership in an ef
fort to prevent utter demoralization
which will inevitably result in the
future presents new affairs similar
to those in Ethiopia, Spain and China,
it is plain that mere words will not
deter those who have put their trust
in warfare. This statement positively
applies to Japan and Italy and, to a
lesser extent, to Germany so far as
overt acts are concerned. Whether it
embraces Russia is debatable, al
though in the past few years, the
Soviet Government has been a factor
for peace whether this is to be a per
manent role or not. -
That the world is heading toward
a definite show-down > facing world
war or world peace is undoubtedly
true. The attitude of Great Britain
and France toward the participation of
Italy in the Spanish war presents
Dictator Mussolini with an opportun
ity for war or peace. Unless one .issue
is just that Some observers believe
that the effort to liquidate the Euro
pean situation is born of a determin
ation to take action in the Far East.

After Visa is Refused.
Beriut, Syria, Oct. 12.?James
Marriner, 45, one of the best known
American service officers, was qhot
and killed today by an Armenian to
whom he had refused a visa to enter
the United States,
The assassin's guns felled the tall,
scholarly consul general as he step
ped from his car before his office
or the start of the day's business.
Marriner's chauffeur captured the
assassin.
Police, after a preliminary investi
gation, said the killer's name was
Mepardich Karayan.
They reported he pumped six bul
lets from a revolver into Marriner at j
close range. The consul general was,
struck in fixe head, abdomen and thigh
and died instantly.
An investigating magistrate exam
ined Karayan. The prisoner, police
announced, admitted Marriner's re
fusal to issue a visa for the United
States was the motive for the attack.
The authorities said the American
official had blocked Karayan's entry
on grounds of insanity in the Arme
ians' family.
Washington, Oct. 12.?State De- -
partment officials withheld official I
comment today on the slaying of I
American consul general Marriner at

Cotton Association
Enjoying Increased
StorageBisiness
Deliveries to the Cotton Associa
tion to date are running four times
as great as during the same period
last season, commented Mr. John T.
Thome, member of the board of
directors of the North Carolina Cot
ton Growers Cooperative Association, <
upon his retrun here Tuesday from
Raleigh where he attended the Octo
ber board meeting of the cooperative.
Mr. Thome said he attributed the
fact that farmers are just beginning
to understand and appreciate the ad
vantages of the "Re-Purchase Pool"
of the Association, plus the following
contributing factors:
1. With the second largest Ameri
can crop in history now being har
vested, thinking farmers are aware
of the need of storing at least a por
tion of their crop.
2. With more than eight out of t
every 10 bales of cotton ginned so far ?
in North Carolina running 15-16 or c
longer, farmers realize that it is t
money in their own pockets to mar- 1
ket their cotton through their own i
organization where they can get their 1
full grade and staple premiums. Mr. 1
Thome added that three-fourths of i
the cotton handled by the Association c
to date has run inch or better and
said that premiums through the As- (
sociation are running as high as $15 t
a bale. I
3. Farmers who are taking the 1
government loan appreciate the ad- 1
vantage of getting this through an f
agency that will protect them against
any "come-back" in event the cot
ton should be taken over by the gov
ernment and the Commodity Credit
Corporation classers find the grade
and staple not up to that set by the 1
original lending agency. Mr. Thome
pointed out that the Cotton Associa
tion absolutely will stand back of the ^
grade 8 and staples it gives to far
mers. Farmers who get the govern
ment loan through the Association
may sell their cotton quickly and con- '
veniently on any day they choose up to '
July 1,1938 and get the advantages 1
of the "Re-Purchase Pool" and too, '
their records will be kept in such a '
way that they can get the subsidy pay
ment with the least trouble. ,
Mr. Thome also called ~the atten- ,
tion of farmers to the fact that the !
landlord now may get the government
loan on the tenant's share of the
cotton without the tenant signing the
note,
