School Helping; Ilim. Boston.—If any American under graduate ever needed a bodyguard at college. It Is the retiring young ster who labors under the handicap of being known at the Massachus etts Institute of Technology as the v winner of the Edison prize contest. Bllbur B. Huston, of Seattle, the star freshman in question, Is doing I 1.1s level best to dodge the spotlight . and the Tech authorities are help ing him In every way possible to ! lead a normal life—and he *s raal ‘ ly, having a great time doing It. An .extremely popular and like able youngster, Huston would have made his way easily—even tf he hadn’t come under the handicap of ■ the Edison contest publicity. He has | already found shelter in the Phi j Kappa Sigma fraternity house on Beacon street. Fraternity life Is simply one student activity Into which he has fitted very neatly. One look at Huston would veil you what his classmates say—that he is lar from being a book worm. He Is often on the tennis courts and finds plenty, of time to play, although not enrolled In any of the organized athletics—which are few and far be tween at, this institution. Tech has no football team and is scarce ly known In intercollegiate athletics, with the exception of crew rachlng and track. If Wilbur is allowed to pursue the normal course of events am<? lines which Ills inclination and abil ity will take him, he will be p: ominent in many student activi ties. Already he is on the staff of the Technology Engineering Ne ws which Is the Technical periodical of the under-graduate and carries articles of Interest to the embryo engineers and scientists of the in stitution. Every one who bumps against him in any sort of activity finds Huston a particularly pleasing youth. There was a short, vigorous campaign among the fraternities to grab him off, which w-as quickly settled when it was learned that he was going into Phi Kappa Sig ma. Crowds of newspaper people have been on his trail ever since he land* *d at Tech. President Roosevelt’s son at Harvard and President Hoov er’s son at Harvard last year were able to pursue the even tenor of their ways, without any protec tion. President CobUdge felt that his son needed a bodyguard in the little rural town of Amherst But Young Huston and his friends at Tech are sure that he has the bal ance and tact which w ill enable him to adjust himself to get an educa tion, even with the burden of being known as the brightest of all boys who won the Edison prizes. Morrison Lands Big Hospital Contract C. A. Morrison and son Clarence who do a general contracting busi ness in Shelby, have secured the contract for the erection of an eighty bed hospital at Mooresville. Both of them are in Mooresville to day closing the contract. The hos pital will eoet about $100,000 and is to be a three story, fire proof struc ture.

International Nawarecl Cotton Farmers To Receive Board Aid (Continued from page one.) end the farmers will have tne ad vantage of any Increase In price that may develop later. He said large amounts of cotton are produced over various parts of the world in eastern countries where labor and production conditions arc much more favorable than those of Ihe cotton belt here. However, he declared. If all the cotton grown here Is handled through one central r.Rency the south can control the price because It produces 57 per cent of all the cotton grown. Plans he .said are under way to create such an office to include a single sales manager for the entire organiza tion. insure fair Return. , The effort, he said, is not for the purpose of arbitrarily fixing the price of cotton but to Insure a high enough price to give the grower a fair return. Farming conditions in the south east he declared are in a deplorable condition and the fanners are suf fering seriously as a consequence. He compared it with cotton growing sections of Texas and Oklahoma and said due to the fertility of the soil, and conditions under which it Is be ing raised the eastern belt cannot hope to compete with the west. Here he said the cost of fertilizer and labor are much greater. Statistical reports show that in Texas it Is pos sible for one man to cultivate 100 acres but here a 20 acre tract Is a large task for a season. Lack Of Diversification. He deplored the waning of divers ification and the very apparent de cline in stock raising. Mr. Williams expressed resent ment at reports in circulation that )t is the ignorance of the farmer that has gotten him into such a bad way throughout the country. It is not due to ignorance, he declared, but to a complication of circum stances and conditions over which the farmer has no control. i Cecilias Guests Of: Gardners At Mansion Itanking .Social f'lub Of Shelby En tertained With Shelby Gurwts By Governor And Wife. Raleigh.—In the governor's man sion Saturday and through bun day, Governor and Mrs. Max Gard ner entertained the St. Cecilia club of Shelby, a musical organization that never would dissolve even when its members married or moved away. The St. Cecilians began coming in shortly after noon. The Gardners ere housing them all, and in addi tion to them 12 or 15 others. Some of the club members have been away eight years, but the call to Raleigh overcame them and they are here as guests of their hosts of Shelby, now temporary residents of Raleigh. The Gardners recently had 800 farmers and farm women as guests as the maftsion, and one who ran ever to see the spectacle of a float ing reception almost entirely rf rural women would bet that in 1930 the Gardners will -have nearer 8,000 The mansion has been a Mecca til’s week. The freshmen class of State college came over from West Raleigh and sang for his excellency and Mrs. Gardner Thursday night. The St. Cecilians will probably give their voices to Mrs. Gardner's entertain ment. But that is not the object -of their coming down here. Mr. and Mrs. Gardner invited them and the entire singing outfit will come. So far as can be recalled by any body now living here, this is the first entertainment of an out-of town club by the executive land lords of the state house. The Shelby people came down here on special trains when Governor Gardner was inaugurated. But this is the largest party of home folks yet gathered under the mansion roof to be guests of the occupants of the state’s so cial center. • State Deficit Is X1 Still Threatening Raleigh—Revenue Commissioner Alien J. Maxwell, gathering the growing surplus under his wings as a hen collects her chicks, asks the state not to forget that these reve nues will not continue to pile up rnd that only a miracle can save the commonwealth a deficit. The first prediction set the debit balance at $2,000,000, but that man ifestly was too large. Then the collections went high. For October the state took in $1,809,507.81. This swell amount brought the whole for the first four months of the fiscal year to $4,972,480.53 as compared with $3,188,874.65 for the year end ing July 1. This gain of nearly $1. 800,000 was unexpected. Governor Gardner’s fear of a deficit of $2, c00,000 by the end of the year rest ed on his observation of the reve nues. But the collections have been uncommonly good in general fund revenues and in the state highway fund the high riding brings in the money as usual. For October, 1928, ihe state collected $1,022,641.86 and for <the same month 1929. took In $1,337,419.75. This gain of more than $300,000 shows that the state will be able to pay its bonds. Likewise that It loves to ride. To warn the state against any exuberance on account of its newly found sources of wealth Commis sioner Maxwell issued the follow ing statement: “Collections by state department of revenue for the month of October as compared with October of last year, for both the highway and the general fund, have been quite satisfactory, the totals for both being $3,146,927.56. “The substantial increase in the gasoline tax collections as compar ed with October last year reflects of course an increase of one per cent per gallon in the tax distri butable to the counties of the state. “The increase m collections for the general fimd in October as com pared with October of last year is due in the main to earlier collec tions of corporation and franchise taxes, and to increase in the rate of increase of the franchise tax op rail roads which has been doubled, and also to an increase in the amount of franchise taxes on domestic cor poration by a change in the revenue act, using as the basis for the tax ♦he total of capital, surplus and un divided profits instead of the as sessed value of the capital stock under the act of 1927. The figures do not furnish any true indication of what total revenue collections for the year may be.” The state and federal govern ments have done better than they promised, but the state is still ask ing institutions to make voluntary reductions in the expenditures on their maintenance funds. Colton Markets At Kings Mt. Praised The Yorkvllle Enquirer quotes E. W. Pursley, of the Santiago section of York county, as saying the fol lowing about the Kings Mountain cotton market: 'Kings Mountain has one of the best cotton markets I have heard of this season. While most other buyers around were only offering 17 1-2 cents for Inch cot ton, the buyers at Kings Moun tain were gladly paying 18 1-4. \ Miss Roberts Music Class Honor Roll The following music pupils of Miss Mary Adelaide Roberts made the music honor roll duTing the past month: Ethel Alexander, Elizabeth Camp bell, Lillian Ofow, Margaret Ford.

Mill Men Clergyman And Labor Leader PIr.ke Charges Against North Caro lina In New l'ork. New York.—A clergyman end a labor leader recently attacked cer tain churches in the South as being “controlled by mill-owners” and in imical to textile trades unions. [ The Rev. B. Spofford, Episcopal minister and member of the Church League for Industrial Democracy, told a conference on the Southern textiles industry that the chmches in the textile regions of North Car olina are "undoubtedly owned and controlled by the mill-owners” and that the clergy are the "moral po lice for the.industrial overlords.” Thomas P. McMahon, president of the United State Workers of Amer ica, speaking at the same confer ence, attributed his organization's slow progress in the South in the last 24 years to prejudice and big otry fostered by the churches. “The pastors would lose their jobs if the workers got a ten per cent increase,” he said. The conference was held at the Russell Sage Foundation under the auspices of the social relations de partment of the congregational Education society. Charges Bad Faith. The Rev. Dr. Spot ford, who per sonally investigated the situation, said the workers live under unsan itary conditions in mill-owned house. He charged the mill owners with bad faith, saying they abro gated an agreement by refusing to re-employ 110 strikers. Roger Baldwin of the American Civil Liberties union said that In Marion and Gastonia the forces af law had banded with the employers to keep the workers from organizing. He denounced the Gastonia murder trials as being mere "heresy trials." Norman Thomas, Socialist candi date for mayor of New York, called for a national labor code, which would impose the same standards on all states. Henry P. Kendall, owner of a number of mills, some of them in the South, addressed the conference but newspapermen were excluded during his address when they refus ed to agree not to quote him.
