Headof Prisoa . Afdb Adn

Makin\r another effort to se
cure appropriation for the pur
chasing and installation of ma
chinery at State Prison to make
automobile licenseplatea, George
Ross Pou, superintendent of the
prison, appeared before the joint
appropriations committees again
Wednesday afternoon to renew
hi^plea.
Mr. Pou took John R. Hall, of
West Virginia, former superin
tendent of prison industries in
Pennsylvania Slate Prison and
who is now selling and install
ing machinery to manufacture
license plates, over to explain to
the legislators how the State
“can save money” by manufac
turing its own plates. /
Ballot
SeiMtor Simmons Goes on
All By • Lonesome,
After adopting an amendment
to insure that no State officers
, woUid have to run on the same
ticket with Senator Simmctna in
the next election ^ the Senate
of the North Glrdlina Ucnerai
Assembly without a record vote
i
ifid sent the bill to the House.
Senator Simmons fought A1
Smith in the election and as a
result it is feared that u bitter
fight is against him on the part
of the regular Democrats will re
sult if he offers for election
again. Naturally other candi
dates did hot want to be on the
same ticket with him when the
scratching started.
Two hours were spent Thurs*
day in debating new amend
ments to the bill before it pass
ed. Probably the most signifi
cant and far-reaching amend
ment offered and accepted on the
fioor of the Senate was the one
offered Thursday by Senator
Whedbee, of Perqulman8,3 to
provide for seven ballots instead
of fi ve.
This means that if the House
concurs In action of the Sen-
ate, which passed the Whedbee
amendment by a vote of 3l to 19,
Senator P. M. Simmons, who
comes up for re-election Novem
ber of next year, must go on a
ballot i»v himself. The Whed
bee amendment provides that
candidates for Congress and for
the United States Senate shall
go on separate ballots. Under
the provisions of the bill before
it was amended, the candidates
for Congress and the Senate
were on the same itallot with the
State officers.
Should the ameiitlinent hai
not been oUereil, and should the
bill become law. Senator Sim
mons would have gone on the
me ballot next year with Judge
George P. Pell, State Corpora
tion Commissioner, who will be
the lone State officer to come up
or re-election next year as a
eraocrat.—Raleigh Times.

Washington, Feb. 14—
ther and crop conditions for the
week ended Tuesday as sum
marized by the Department of
Agriculture, states that in Flor
ida and the South Atlantic area
conditions continued mostly fa
vorable', except for lack of mole
ture in the extreme South; truck
is generally good in Okechobee
District and «(^rawberries are
plentiful with some bloom as far
North as North Carolina
The House’s Agricultural
Committee decided to * report
‘‘without prejudice” Senator
Hobbs’ bill to put a stop to ©sti
mates and predictions about fu*
ture crops allh prices. The
ureasiire has already passed the
Senate. Dr, E G. Brooks, pres
ident of State College, and Dr;
ClarpncePo©, edii^r.jaf>Ai»ee,»I^%
of the State College faculty op
pose the bill. Senator Hobbs
asserts that the predictions made
by the employes of the Agricul
ture Department last year cost
the farmers of Eastern North
Carolina several thousands of
dollars.
• Agricutiural Gradiog,
Standardization of agricultural
products, a development of very
recept years, is doing much to
aid in the pri^fitahle marketing
of the farmer’s goods,
The Department of Agriculture
has established a comprehensive
set of standards and grades which
cover almost every farm product.
Not only is this practical in local
and national trade, but Uiterha-
tional commerce as well.
The farmer as a result, la ben
efited by an increased demand
for graded products, and by the
fact t^at grading determines
which goods are to be stored for
future sale aud which Imrnecii-
ately marketed.
Oar Ct^^er Sapremacy.
According to a recent study
made by the Department of
Commerce, it is expected tbe
UnitedStates will be tbe leading
copper^l^roducing nation for
many years to come. .
North Carolina.' as a whole,
{»‘oduced almost 66 per cent of
the entire world’s copper supply
in the first ilinarter of this cen
tury, and 61 per cent in 1926-27r
Foreign production of the
metal is slowly increasing, but
oiir supremacy is assured by the
fact that we have great reserve
deposits of proven ore, as well as
tremendous deposits of low grade
ore which will eventually be
valuable.
The survey shows that. I he
copper situatton^throughout the
world is satisfaciorv. and in the
United States is unusually
couraging. I’his industry’s eco
nomic and scientific progress of
recent" years has followed the
tremendous demand for the met
al caused by our general indus
trial expansion

tax features, will more than like
