At present, according to officials cl the Commodity Credit corporation, approximately 4,430,000 bales of last year’s crop is still secured by the 12- cent loan. Asked to explain the appar tnt reluctance of farmers to repay the loans, an official replied that the unsettled condition of the market niP.de such action unwise at this time. U is believed that as the mar ket advances, volume of rapid loans will show corresponding increases. Cotton Loans Advanced At the same time Commodity Cred it corporation spokesmen stated that 10 cent loans on 38,157 bales of the new cotton crop have been advanced. To date loans on 201 bales of this group have been repaid, leaving a to tal of 87,956 bales. Outstanding cot ton loans of both the 10 and 12- cent variety are represented by 4,- 467,956 bales. Although farmers are reluctant to repay the 12-eent loans, officials point out that loans on the new crop ere far below expectations and show little sign of increasing. It is recalled that at the time of AAA’s announce ment that the loan had been modified • —lowered from 12 to 10 cents and a two-cent maximum "subsidy” pay ment Jesse Jones, chairman of the Reconstruction Finance corporation, estimated that less than $100,000,000 would be needed to finance the loan procedure this year. Officials said today that this estimate has also been greatly reduced. Belief that the 12-cent loan will be extended is based in large part on AAA’s assumption of complete con trol of all surplus distribution activi (Continued on back page) NATIONAL~GUARD FOILSLYNCHERS Moultrie, Ga., Nov. 16.—National guardsmen, dispatched here to pre vent mob violence to John Henry Sloan, negro accused of slaying a white man, fought their way out of town with the prisoner late today shortly after he had been convicted and sentenced to die December 10.

NEW FLAGWAVES IN PHILIPPINES Manila, Nov. 16.—Self government returned to the Philippine Islands to day after nearly 400 years—a gift of the United States.

Hours Before the scheduled in auguration of dynamic little Manuel Quezon as the first Philippine president the streets of Manila rang with merg/making. But the gaiety and excitement could not drown the faint rumble of extremist dissatisfaction. More than 2,000 constabulary soldiers detailed to preserve order, were alert for possible trouble. Quezon was heavily guarded because of many assassi nation threats.

MONDAY, NOV. 18, 1935 Senator From Idaho Has Ob jective For 1936 But Hides His Plan Washington, Nov. 16. i— Senator Eorah, of Idaho, thrust himself fur ther into the political picture of 1936 today, announcing he had “a definite objective in mind,” but par lying all direct questions as to wheth er he sought the Republican presi dential nomination. In an extraordinary press confer ence, however, the Idahoan caught the ear of trained political observers with an assertion that friends of Herbert Hoover were organizing in his behalf. “I do not know what is in his own mind,” said Borah of Hoover, in answer to a question, >but I do know his friends are working for his nomination.” To Confine Tactics to Policy With considerable adroitness, Borah stood off repeated efforts by expert questioners to solve with a direct statement the enigma of his own aims and aspirations. Again and again, he answered: "I don’t care to discuss any personal politics.” Readily he conceded that he had “definitely determined on a policy.” But he would elaborate no further than to say: “I have a definite objective in mind, and I’m going to conform my tactics to that objective.” More than one of the half a hundred newspapermen present, nevertheless, emerged from Borah’s office feeling he had strengthened the intimation he dropped upon his arrival here last night that under certain circumstances he might enter the presidential pri maries. For one thing, the veteran in dependent Republican revealed that in the weeks before Congress con venes he intends to make Washing ton the headquarters for a more or less ambitious speaking campaign in the ea3t. Pictures Situation Among other things dropped by Borah during his half hour with the press were: A belief that if the election were held this year President Roosevelt would carry the west. That he has his own ideas about (Continued on back page) No Sales Tax On Papers! There’s no sales tax on news papers, and when you spend $1.50 for a year’s subscription to The Times you don’t have to add 5 cents additional as you do for most everything else. One dollar and a half for 104 issues of the paper is cheap enough, you’ll admit. It’s less than a cent and a half per copy. Thirteen pounds of cotton will more than pay for a year’s sub scription. And while we’re talking about cotton wc’U mention that “cotton selling time” is also “subscrip tion time.” Hundreds of Times subscribers pay for their paper at this time of year, and if your subscription is due we’ll appre ciate you falling in line with the others. The label on your paper tells when your time is rat. STATE HIGHWAY PATROL ACTIVE DURING OCTOBER Officers Arrest 317 Drunken I Drivers During Period— -2,581 Other Arrests Raleigh, Nov. 16.—Highway patrol men arrested 317 drunken drivers during October, as compared with j 260 drunken drivers arrested in Sep ! tember, according to the monthly ; patrol report made public today by I Captain Charles D. Farmer, com ‘ mander. In addition to the arrests made for driving while drunk, highway patrolmen made 2,581 arrests for ether violations, procured and served warrants for 2,625 other drivers and issued citations to 1,829 others. With the exception of the arrests for ovunken driving, the other arrests, warrants issued, and citations are slightly below the number issued in September when 3,111 were ar rested, 3,041 warrants procured and 2,762 citations issued. Drivers More Careful This slight decrease in arrests, j warrants issued, and citations is at- j tributed to the fact that drivers are being somewhat more careful, having learned in September that the patrolmen really mean business. “Drivers are at last beginning to reSlize that the patrolmen are out on the roads to enforce the law and that they are doing it,” Capt. Farm er said. In addition to the large number of actual arrests made, warrants procured, and citations issued, high way patrolmen inspected 10,613 ears and trucks, stopped 15,254 cars with faulty lights and had them cor rected, issued 205 faulty equipment tickets, stopped and warned 8,603 drivers for minor violations and ex tended courtesies to 3,601 drivers by helping them change tires, get gasoline, and so forth. Investigate Accidents Patrolmen also investigated 388 accidents in which 44 persons were killed and 260 injured. In September they investigated 361 accidents in which 42 persons were killed and 265 injured. In October they weighed 369 trucks and found 191 overloaded. They also investigated 975 com plaints. During October patrolmen recov ered $11,500 worth of property, mostly stolen cars while county and city school funds were enriched with $25,145 in fines and 516,625 in costs imposed on those arrested by patrol men and convicted in court. GERMANY’S JEWS LOSE PRIVILEGES Berlin, Nov. 16.—A1l political rights were taken from Jews in Germany today by an official decree, defining closely the citizenship and racial laws promulgated by the reichrtag at its Nurnberg session during the Sep tember convention of the nazi party. “The Jew cannot be a reichs citi zen, cannotvote or occupy public of fice,” ruled the decree, published in the official gazette. “Jewish functionaries of the gov ernment will be pensioned Decem ber 31, 1935.” Another decree, dealing with the new blood honor laws, forbade mar riages between Jews and “quarter Jews,” or between "quarter Jews” themselves. Aryan domestic servants may re main in the service of Jews, the decree provided, if they are 35 years of age or over. Woman, Age 106, Declares Modern Life Is “Too Easy” Welby, Colo., Nov. 16.—Mrs. A:*el ina Broncucio, who is so vigorous at 106 that she walks a mile before breakfast, has little sympathy with a generation that talks of six-hour days and 30-hour weeks. Attributing her longevity to sim ple living, she complained today through an interpreter that modern life is “too easy” and is making the younger generation “soft.” Mrs. Broncucia, a native of Italy, walks without a cane and reads with out glasses. Her special grievance is against motor cars. She aaid they keep her grandson? out too late at night.

FACTS Washington, Nov. 16. — President Roosevelt has had 8,000 million dol lars to spend on relief and work pro jects. . This is 3,000 million more than the : value of all American goods export- i ed out of this country in the boom 1 year, 1929. i Despite this, the relief rolls are still crowded and 11,000,000 remain • unemployed. s WOMAN HAS BIBLE : PRINTED IN 1768 i Lincolnton, Ga., Nov. 16.—An Epis copal Bible printed in London in 1768, a relic of the religious war be tween Presbyterians and Episcopal ians, is the prize possession of Mrs. W B. Crawford. In the religious war, the Craw fords chose to side with the Royal House of Stuart. Hence the Epis copalian Bible, brought to America from Labarkshire, Scotland. Much of the family record is found in its covers, including the names and births ot slaves recorded by the grandfath er of the late Dr. W. B. Crawford. Another rare volume in this Lincolnton library is “Memoirs of tfce Rev. Abraham Marshall,’’ printed at old Mount Zion in . Han cock County in 1824. The celebration of the 400th anniversary of the 1 first Bible printed in English gives prominence to old volumes this year. j LOCAL MARKET 5 I COTTON 12c pound « WHEAT sl.lO busnel J CORN 60c bushel j EGGS 33 & 35c dozen 1 PRICE: FIVE CENTS Sharply Edged Censure of New Deal Planning Voiced By Former President New York, Nov. 16.—Former Presi cent Herbert Hoover tonight enunci ated an eleven-point program for national fiscal reform after voicing sarcastic, sharply edged censure of New Deal economic planning. Speaking before the Ohio society of New York, in what was de scribed as the second of a series of addresses on national problems, Mr. Hoover prefaced his declaration of a remedial fiscal program with a review of New Deal activities and a warning of their results. “We can express government ex pense in figures,” he said. “But no mortal man can compute the costs, the burdens, and dangers imposed upon 120,000,000 people by these ac tions. Its cost in national impoverish ment far exceeds even taxes. Its losses will be larger than the national debt.” “Constructive Program” Asserting that the way to “settle” conditions which “we should no longer tolerate” was by abandon ment of present fiscal policies, Mr. Hoover outlined his “constructive fiscal program” as follows: “The waste of taxpayers’ money on unnecessary public works should end . “The administration of relief should be turned over to local authorities. Federal expenditures for relief should be confined to cash allowances to these authorities to the extent that they ar: unable to provide their own funds. “The spending for visionary and un-/ r.erican experiments should be stopped. ’This horde of political bureau cracy should be rooted out. “The provision of the Constitu tion requiring that expenditures shall only be in accordance with appropriations actually made by law should be obeyed. And they should be made for specific pur poses. “The budget should be balanced, not by more taxes, but by reduction of follies. “The futile purchase of foreign silver should be stopped. “The gold standard should be re established, even on the new basis “The act authorizing the Presi dent to inflate the currency should be repealed. “The administration should give and keep a pledge to the country that there will be no further jug gling of the currency and no fur ther experiments with credit in flation. “Confidence in the validity of (Continned on back page) Woman and Son Die In Highway Accident Washington, N.
