The Madison Messenger VOL. XVI.—NO. 41 ENTERED AM SECOND-CLASS MATTER AT POSTOFFICE. MADISON, N. C. MADISON, N. CM OCTOBER 1, 1931 SUBSCRIPTION PRICE.: ONE TEAR *1.50 SIX MONTHS 70 CENTS Every 1 Thursday Next Congress Will Be Asked To Impeach Secretary Mellon Washington, Sept. 28—Alter accumulating data on Secretary Mellon all summer, Representa tive Patman (D), Texas, today reiterated his intention of bring ing impeachment proceedings against the Treasury head when Congress convenes. Citing the law that prohibits a Secretary of the Treasury from being directly or indirect ly interested in trade and com merce, the Texan said Mellon had violated his oath of office. He said the Treasury Secretary was a stockholder in the Alum inum Company of America, and that he and his family owned and controlled the Gulf Oil Cor poratiorf and Hoppers Company. Secretary Mellon declined to comment on the charges main taining the .same attitude as when Patman made similar an nouncement in Texas some time ago. It was recalled at the Treas ury, however, that supreme court decisions had held that ownership of stock. ■ in a cor poration did not bring a Sec retary of the Treasury in con flict with the law which pro hibits him from engaging in commerce. Previously, Secretary Mellon had said he had severed all bus iness connections when ho he came Secretary ot the i roas ury and had no part whatever in carrying on the business ot any corporation ih' which he owned stock. The Gulf Oil Corporation, Patman said, Was a holding company which owned mam ships under foreign registry. He said the law provides that, a Secretary of the Treasury shall not be “the owner in whole or in part of any vessel.” The" law- further stipulates that “every person who offends against the prohibitions of this section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and forfeit to the United States the penalty of $3,000 and shall upon con viction be removed from office and forever thereafter be in capable of holding any office under the United States. The Texan said that Mellon “plainly, as stockholder in these companies, is directly interest ed in the business ot trade ami commerce, and comes under the meaning of the law.” The proceedings, Patman con tinued, would be instituted by a privileged resolution he plans to introduce. Under usual pro ceedings, the Mouse member may take the floor on a point of high personal privilege to present the measure. It then may be referred by the speaker of the judiciary committee for investigation. The action of the House on its committee’s report would de termine whether Mellon would be tried before the Senate, which would act as a,court. Patman said he would show that the Koppers Company, con trolled by Mellon and his as sociates, was constructing a $200,000,000 steel,iron and coke plant in the Ural mountains of the Soviet. He also said he had evidence that the Gulf Oil Cor poration operated ships under foreign registry to avoid the 'benefits for seamen carried in the Amercan Merchant Marine act. “Mr. Mellon relinquished his position on the board of di rectors of the Aluminum Com pany,” Patman, said, “but as a stockholder, he directs the board. Hid brother represents him.” Mellon today declined to com ment upon the action of the Aluminum Corporation in re ducing-salaries TO per cent. Patman’s attack is one of a long list upon the Secretary of the Treasury by members of ’ Congress. Former Senator Tom Watson, of Georgia, was among the-first to criticize. Since then there have been a succession of at tacks by various members of Congress, all of which have brought only a smile and a shrug from the Secretary as he followed the policy of never commenting upon them in any way. At one time a congressional investigation of charges that the Secretary was acting in con flict with the law was conduct ed. It was found that he had divested himself of all connec tions. It-was also pointed out that the Supreme Court had held that a stockholder of a corporation had no part in its management and no influence or power, but that its officers carried on its business. It was said that exhaustive research had shown that every Secretary of the Treasury since Alexander Hamilton, had owned stocks in various business enterprises. double feed money by selling to cows Fourteen dollars worth of farm-grown feed fed to good average cows will' produce ?—• • worth of butterfat at present prices and will leave $5.60 worth of skimmilk on the farm to say nothing of the manure. “At the present prices of but terfat, the man who has pro duced a surplus of forage and other dairy food can sell this feed through cows for a fairly good return for his labor,” says A C. Kimrey, dairy extension specialist at State College. “The relation between the farm price of dairy feeds and butterfat is favorable now and bids fair to remain so through the coming winter. Records kept on pres ent market conditions show that if $14 worth of> feed is fed to good average cows, it will produce 100 pounds of buttei - fat. When sold for buttermak ing purposes, this fat is worth $28. In addition there will be left on the farm about 1,000 pounds of skimmilk worth 85 cents a hundred pounds. This is excellent for feeding to poul try or hogs and when so fed has a value of $5.60.” In addition to these values, 75 per cent of the plant food in the feedstuffs will go back to the farm in the form of ma nure and thus cut down the fertilizer bill, says Mr. Kimrey The return from selling food stuffs through cows does rol suggest that any one will gel rich from the project, cautions Mr. Kimrey, but he does sug gest that a better price will be received for the grains and ha> than if the same material is sold in the raw state. In addi tion, there is the advantage ol a steady income each montl from the sale of cream. Nine Baptised Rev. Henry Willis brough his series of meetings at Pin< Hall to a close Sunday night at which time nine were bap tised and joined the church Of these seven were adults Much interest was- tnanifestec in these meetings by the citi zens of Pine Hall and vicinity. “The Path Across the Hill” This* delightful play will b< presented at the school audi torium tomorrow night by lo cal talent under thedirection o a local instructor. The admis sion Is only 15 and 35 cents am you should see it. CAN MORE TOMATOES BEFORE SEASON CLOSES If every member of the fam ily does not have a minimum of nine quarts of canned toma toes for food this winter, more should be canned before the season closes. “Ripe tomatoes contain val uable food elements that are necessary to good nutrition and when grown and canned at home provide an inexpensive food,” says Miss Mary Thomas, extension specialist in nutrition at State College. “Tomatoes are valuable in the diet wheth er raw or cooked or canned. They may be substituted for oranges and they rank with these as one of the richest sources of vitamin C, They are superior to oranges as sources of vitamins A, B, and G. This means that the tomatoes con tain those food elements which promote growth and help to keep the tissues of the eye, ear, nose and throat resistant to in fection. They stimulate the ap petite, aid in the digestive pro i cesses and prevent pellagra. Tomatoes should be eaten at least -three times a week throughout the year.” In planning the supply need | ed by the family this winter, be i sure to count in the baby, says Miss Thomas. Babies grow bet ter, show less tendency to be j anemic and develop better teeth if vitamin C has been a part of their regular diet since ! infancy. Every member of the family should have at least nine quarts canned by now for : use next winter. If this amount i has not been canned, a new ] supply should be conserved be | fore the season is gone. Miss Thomas claims that no other garden product is easier to can nor may be used in such I a variety of ways. No other garden product will do more to protect the family health and pocket book next winter. _ j Madison Lady Took 1st Prize on Fruit Cake Mrs. T. J. Robertson captur . ed first prize at the Greensboro fair last week with her^ cele brated white fruit cake, her many friends will be pleased to learn. This is not surprising, ■ for those who have partaken oi • her cakes say they are the best ■ ever. • -5 •! How critical we are of faults 1 of- others; how tolerant we are of our own follies. Madison Market Leads in High Opening Prices The Better tirades Are^Doing Fairly Well, But There Is No Demand For The Common Grades; Madison Averaged $11.12 SO far as we have been able to learn Madison lead the mar ket in the old belt for high prices on opening day, Tuesday, with an average of $11.12. There was a good break and a large crowd was present to see just what was to be done about it. There was some good tobacco and much that was not worth hauling to the market, though the growers, some of them, will persist in bringing this stuff and thus cluttering up the market. There was some dissatisfac tion; some were pleased in get-, ting more than they expected, while others did as well as they had expected. And thus it goes. The better grades are prob ably bringing more than they did last year, hut the common grades are not bringing even as much as they did last season. The warehousemen are work ing awful hard to secure every dollar possible, but the buyers have orders from higher up and canijot go above the limit. But the fact that Madison lead with the highest average Tuesday is conclusive proof that this is the logical point to sell your to bacco, from the fact that due Consideration is given e&ch pile, without rushing through, as do the larger markets. The following gentlemen are the buyers; A. A. Fowler, Rey nolds; H. J. Penn, American; Jim Atkins, Export; Jack Web ster, Liggett & Myers, These same buyers are also repre senting many of the independ ent concerns, and besides, there are several independent buyers on the local market. *********** * STOKESDALE * ***** *** *** ;Mrs.Margaret JitcCrorie is seriously ill at her home.

Fhe Legionaires Back Home To Be Heard From Washington, Sept. 27—Henry '... Stevens,: Jr., arrived here to i.ay to find the American legion vhich he now heads named as a specia 1 objective in 1932 cam paign plans of organized prohi ntion forces. The new national commander )f legionnaires came to return President Hoover’s unexpected •all on the Detroit convention, .vhere the vote was cast that jtirred dry leaders to action. He will see Mr. Hoover tomor row. His voice a trifle hoarse from i week of talking politics, Stevens was looking forward to solitude and fishing at Hoan )kke Island, N. C. He met a var muster of dry intent upon •eaching prohibition adherents n the legion when they con end did not attend the con tention. A two-day meeting of the )oard of strategy of the nation il conference of organizations iupporting the 18 th aniend nent had just drafted a plan of tttacks making the legion, la >or unions, lawyers and doc ors the particular fields for lew prohibition campaigns. Stevens reiterated he is a ‘personal dry from a dry-vot ng state.” “But this a government by he majority,” he said. “One of he best places to feel the pulse. >f the people is in a Pullman imoking room. “I have yet to sit in on a moker conversation where The iubject did not eventually drift o prohibition and stay for a horough discussion. I believe ve should really find out what sire American people want.That vill end it, one way or anoth er.” The method of “finding out,” Stevens said, was- “up to the dates.” However, Ernest II. Cherring son, chairman of the prohibi sion board of stategy, said, “it Is self-evident that the action aken by the delegates to the egion convention was not rep resentative of the whole body.” Dry legionnaires Will be reached in the new drive plan ned by his board which believes ‘the great body of these ex-sol iiers have 'not found opportu nity for expression through their organization.” The drys also will direct a campaign toward local labor unions “whose support of this national policy is being ignored by professional labor leaders.” The board said it believed a majority of the legion and la bor, attorneys and physicians “is in favor of the maintenance of the 1.8th amendment." Despite the froth of words over prohibition and beer. Stev - ens said more concerned with rehabilitation his conferences in the capital were measure.* to be discussed in legislative halls this winter. On the bonu question he said • “The President, made a fine presentation, and it is-cordially received. But I realize that, , en so, many bills for the bonus probably will be introduce-,i at the next session of Congress However, it is my beli’ef fh-r De troit action was the considered judgment of the legion', that the delegates truly presented the sentiment of the people back home.” WILL ERECT HANDSOME BRICK FILLING STATION The Robertson Oil company has purchased from Es Jones the property on the corner ot Market and Academy streets and is now busily engaged in clearing same of the -tenant houses and grading preparatory to erecting a handsome new brick filling station. This sta tion will be modern in every de tail, with rest rooms, etc. There will be -four tanks, and when completed it will equal in ap pearance and equipment to the stations usually seen in the larger cities.

Sales Tax Proposal Said To Be Favored By Treasury Chief .Washington.; Sept. 27—Fol lowing the visit, of President Hoover to Detroit, where he ad monished the American Legion to: have a card with respect to any designs they might have oh the treasury, the President re turned to Washington to repeat suyh admonitions. It is sus petted that the President is not unmindful the fact that a presidential campaign is on the way, and would like very much to. avoid the necessity of in creasing taxes. At any rate, iris advisers would like to avoid such’ danger.. But in view of the fact that 'Congress may have to deal with the tax question, the. treasury department will present to (j’re t id.ent Hoover d proposed tax plan to meet ..the-deficit, now /estimated- at about one and. one half.billion dollars on the year’s business. Whether the Presi dent- will recommend action by Congress during the winter is. doubtful: ;is before stated, be cause there will be no way of . sugaf-t-oating the fax to make the people like it. the treasury attitude is said to .lean to the sales tax as the best- method of spreading the payments .among, all the people. 'Senator Reed. of Pennsylvania is an advocate of. the sales tax,! to be applied in a limited way, and recently discussed the sit-1 nation with the President. Fol lowing the visit of Senator Reed to the White House, however, there was nothing to-indicate that the President’s opposition to a tax increase has. been al-' tered. Senator Reed pointed out that the people are paying a sales lax .on cigarettes, which /amounts to 125 pci' cent, and the senator thinks there is no coiiiphrint. But the senator-has fail-, n into some error in this res.pecL A number of members both of the house and senate, have for some time been of the opinion that tobacco products are carrying too heavy a load of federal taxes, and that a rea _son ah I e, reduction would enable the tobacco companies to pay more to the farmers for their raw materials. The government gets the first dollar out of ev ery pound of tobacco used in the manufacture of cigarettes. J "If every person having ap U;., nnir Of* it veai v\cic to at! K- al! his expenditures to taxed articles Under the plan I pi'o]io>e, he would contribute to the government $10,” said Sen ator Reed. \ His tax wotml be a tax of one-half of one per cent, on each sale,, but applied only to a limited number of articles. But sales tax.now being paid are ill the shape <•: internal revenue tax. wherein the tax is included in the purchase price and the buyer does not see it. It would -by—liiilic-uU- if an article were slid for 2b cents, and the store clerk should ask for another penny as a government tax. The purchaser would probably go away mad at both the store and the government. Already some of the retail interests are regis tering a protest against the sales . tax proposal. It would mean aii immense amount of bookkeeping and auditing on the part of the,retailer.' r'h se who have lined tip against the sales tax idea say if® thi money is greatly needed bv the p ivernment it should be obtained.-by. higher income tax es. especially in the upper brackets, which of course mean thy people with great incomes. There would be no increase in the normal tax under this plan, a lid, the man on salary would continue to pay what he did this year. As it is. due to bus . ines's losses - and other costs w.hft-h the li^w recognizes, in cbme tax payments in 11)22, %■. applied to incomes of this y;aw are expected- to• show a drastic drop. This is one of the argu ments being1 advanced in favor of the sales tax. The treasury has already shifted a billion dollars oi the deficit to the national debt by issuing 25-year obligations, an.' this policy is finding favor with some of" the administration ; leaders; but' they think this should be done by short time paper. HEAVY RAIN FELL IN . THIS SECTION SATURDAY The heaviest rain fall ef ttie season visited this section Sat urday afternoon, and at times looked almost . like a .Cloud hurst. The drains and gutters were not sufficient to take care of the waters and everything was flooded. No hail fell in this immediate- section, but in some sectons of the county and Stokes the hail did considerable damage to late crops, especial ly late tobacco. Sixty-eight fat hogs sold bj Pitt county farmers last wee! netted the growers $375 above expenses. Read The Messenger ads, *********** * MAYODAN * *********** Mr. and Mrs. J. V.

In | the bushes near by he found | five 5-gallon cans fu*l of the ! juice and another nearly full., which was seiseo. 'A hile he | was doing this, the two young men operating the ear haa dis : appeared. He immediately no I tifieo the other1 officers and a • hunt began for them. One was 1 captured beyond Carter s filling i station, but the oth> r escaped. , He was later taken in charge bv Stokes count, fficer and brought back to Madison, where • both' were given a hearing, They gave their naVnes as Paul ! Sparger and George Ledwell, and Gastonia as their horns-. In ! default of sufficient bonds, both j were sent on to jail at Went worth to await trial at January term of criminal court. A Lex ington city tag was found on the inside of the car, which lead to the belief that it had been stolen. Farmers Saving Feed Our farmer friends, that is a large majority of them, will certainly not be patrons of the western hay fields and corn fields this coming year, for they have corn, and have harvested a larger amount of feed for their stock than for many years. This shows that our farmer friends have at last realized that they have made a grave mistake in the past by not doing this. And it is also a pleasure to learn that more ; meat is now in the making than fbr mahv years. “The Live-at Home” idea is being practiced i to a larger extent this year I than ever before, we are pleas ed to learn.
