Population Of Whites In City Fifth In State iCOM-riMUKlJ muM Paul ON4..i white and 203 percent for negroes. Negroes made the largest numerical gain in the history of the state, and the second largest pccent gain In one hundred years. The foreign-oorn population ra tion declined during the last decade We twice pride in having only a small foreign born population. We do not nppear to want the foreign born and they do not appear to be attracted by what we have to offer We probably continue to have the lowest foretgnborn ration of all the states. Two counties have no for eign born, and five counties have ®nly one forctgn-bom each. Onr Twenty-one Cities. There are twenty-one cities in j North Carolina, that is. places above ten thousand inhabitants. Statesville with 83 8 per cent native white has the highest native white population ratio of all the larger places, follow - ed closely by Thomasvllle and Con cord. New Bern has the smallest na- j tive white ratio. 46.4 percent. Wilson j la almost exactly half-and-half. As! a rule the white and negro ratios of the cities are very close to tlie ra tios for the counties in which they are located. However- there are two or three marked exceptions, in Bun combe county the native white ra tio Is 81.9 percent, while in Asheville it is only 69 9 per cent. Asheville has 14.255 of the 16.655 negroes in Bun combe county. Again the negro ra- 1 tio In Winston-Salem is ten points above the negro ration in Forsyth county. On the other band Rocky Mount lias a much higher white ra tion than the two counties in which it is located. Several of the cities of the state have experienced large numerical pr iiercent gains in negroes during the last decade, notabll Asheville, Char lotte., Durham. Greensboro. High I’oint, Shelby. Thomasvllle and Win ston-Salem. In several of the above cities the negro increase within the city was larger than the negro in crease for the county in which the city is located Bishop Mouzon Files An Answer ICONTTUI no MlOM IMIO 1>N». > own defense, since lie had been called to face the episcopacy com mittee of the conference Tile statement alleged to have been made by Bishop Moyron, ac cording to the complaint filed by Rev.

With Daniels In G. O. P. Hopeful cos t IM M> 'll>M ►’MiP ON».' from real experience.' ■‘Should Mr Daniels be nominated as the Democratic candidate i»i governor nest June. Mr. Grissom believe* the Republican state con- 1 mition will select him as the Re publican candidate and that he will carry virtually every county in Pied mont and Western North Carolina It some other 'regular' Democrat is nominated Instead ol Daniels, Pun can is mom likely to be selected the Republican candidate. Mr. Orta-; sotn thinks. He does not consider t; 1 T. Fountain to be a ‘regular organ ization Democrat,’ but a member of the same bloc of Democrats that i Daniels belongs to and which tie says is especially popular right now in Eastern North Carolina. “With regard to the contest for the United States senate, Mr. Gris som believes that if Senator Cam- j cron Morrison is the Democratic nominee that the Republicans will j nominate either Congressman Char- j les A. Jonas or Jake Newell of Char- j lotte. If Senator Morrison attempts to assail Jonas because of the Jonas charges of irregularity and crook edness in the 1928 election, it will then become necessary to nominate! Jonas so that he can renew and; prove the e charges 'on every stump! m every county in North Carolina during the campaign,' Mr. Grissom said. If Morrison does not take up [the Jonas charges in the primary I campaign and more or less ignores j them and decides to make a cam | natgn along other lines, then Newell ; will probably be selected as the Re publican nominee for the senate ' How to control the cotton boll weevil by dusting with calcium ar senate Is discussed hi Extension Cir cular 186, by C.

President Herbert Hoover Mon day night., hi an address at Indiana. polls, made his first bid for re-elec tion in 1932. He called upon the nation to ban ish fear and pessimism so mat America may ride out of the bad ness depression on a broad high way paved with courage and con fidence. Speaking before the Indiana If, publlcun Editorial association. lv said this Ls "our immediate and paramount task as a people" In addition, he said as the “trauscend ant momentary need" a larger de gree of confidence among our busi ness agencies," a confidence not confined to “mere words." Tiie chief executive vigorously de fended tire administration's policies in dealing with the depression praised the efforts of industry and organized labor to minimize its un fortunate results, and said the •'un derlying forces of recovery arc as serting them.,elves." Sums l.’p Accomplishment v The things the federal gour.- - ment is doing hi' described as fol lows “We have assured the country from panic and its hurricane of bankruptcy by co-ordinated action between the tiea. ury, the Federal reserve system, the banks, the farm loan and farm board system, “We have steadily. urged the maintenance of wages and salaries “We have reserved the traditional policy in depression of reducing ex penditures upon construction work. We are maintaining a steady ex pansion of ultimately needed con struction work to co-operation with states, nmnicipaiities and nidus t lies "We liuve sti tamed the people in 21 states who faced dire disaster from the drought. “We are giving aid and .support to farmers in marketing their :rops "Through the tariff we arc sav ing our fanners and workmen from being overwhelmed with goods! from foreign countries. "We are holding down taxation ov exclusion of every possible govern mental cxiK'iidiuire not absolutely essential or need to Uvcrea.se em ployment or assistance to the fann ers. We are ligidly excludin’ immi gration “We art' maintaining and will maintain systematic voluntary or ganization in the community in aid of employment and care ior dis tress. “We propose to go forward with these major activities ami policies." Prom each previous depression, Mr Hoover said. the nation has emerged with a valuable lesson teamed. "Prom this one he said, “we shall gain stiffening and economic discipline, a greater knowledge upon which we must build a better safe guarded system We have come out of each previous depression into a period of prosperity greater than ever before We shall do so this Lime," out of the troubled times, he said, the country will emerge determuied to examine searchingly the bank ing system which allowed wasteful speculation: a taxation sys-'tu which intensified dumping uf securities on a falling market and put in unfair burden on land and home owners; and a marketing system which tends itself to illegitimate speculation. Analyzing the depression he said its major eau-es rooted hack into tlie world war or other wise recov ery would have taken place months ago, in spile of tills country's con tributing efforts in the way of wild speculation, loose and extravagant business method-, ana mpiecedent ed drought With the whole world plunged In to hard times as the result of in heritances from the war, mounting armament, and huge taxes, it. was inevitable, he added,” that this country would be drawn in Marvelous resources in laid, mines, mills, and man power, com bined with good harvest prospects, were the underlying forces of re covery Which, he said, would heal the economic wounds.

To be a good baseball player the boy must also learn team work, Gamenets is another quality which he soon de velops. “Probably the most important les son competition holds is that of true democracy. The competition, as con-, ducted by the legion, brings together boys rich and poor, who join in a single task under strict supervision. The boys everywhere cheerfully ac cept the wholesome training rules laid down to govern the competi tion.
