A Elam Will Lead The Movement In Kings Mountain Association. In the Baptist churches of North Carolina preparation for the annual enrollment is nearing completion. On or near December 3 it is ex pected that the churches will ob serve Loyalty Day. Rev. W. A. Elam ol Shelby is leading the movement in the Kings Mountain association thich embraces the churches of Cleveland county. In this program North Carolina is keeping step with other states in the Southern Baptist convention. There is, however, a new emphasis this year in North Carolina. In the enrollment in North Carolina the members of the churches will be asked first of all to give themselves in service, and then asked to un dertake to contribute a definite •mount, for the support of the local etpense of the church and for the objects fostered by the denomina tion. These objects are missions, foreign, home and state, Christian education and benevolence, with the exception of the orphanage. This last named institution depends for da support upon once-a-month of fering in the Sunday schools and a Thanksgiving offering. In order to provide for a real dedication, a double card has been distributed among the churches, part one challenging each member t° give himself and paWtwo to give his income. Reports indicate that the enroll ment this year will be unusually •nccessiul. It is believed that this •uccess will be due to the fact that toe appeal is made not only for tods but for personal service as *elh. that the spirit of unity in the torches as well as In the denom ination at large has never been tor; and that the people on the •hole have more which they can to will give. Recently the state invention met in Greensboro, and to reports of that meeting Indicate tot the Baptist people are united to fare the future with high cour age There are at present 2,375 ohurehes in the state and on the I?1" ot these churches about 440, *0 members. Cotton Down Ten Point# Since Saturday Cotton on the New York exchange <!)Cl°C't was off ten points from »t 0*00S close- Jan- was quoted Uij ' March at 9.97 and May at Cotton Crop Has Value Of Two And A Half Millions This Does Not Include Seed Cotton That Was Made. Ploughed Cp And Optioned From The Government Makes/Total. Two and a half million dollars is the value of the 1933 cotton crop in Cleveland county and this does not take into consideration the value of the seed. This is based on a price of ten cents per pound. In the early part of the season, however, the price was under the ten cent figure at which the calculation is made to reach this total. The last gin report as of Nov. 14 shows that 42,596 bales of cotton had been ginned in Cleveland coun ty. That was two weeks ago. Most of the cotton is picked and ginned. However. there is much odd-lot cotton on porches and sheds and some in the field. Since the above gin figures were gathered two weeks ago, well over a thousand bales have been ginned. so it is conservative to estimate when the crop is finally cleaned up it will total 45,000. At 10 cent sa pound or $50 a bale. the made-cotton is worth $2,250,000. To this should be added the $177,000 which the farmers received for ploughing up cotton after it had been planted last spring. Some farmers accepted full settlement for ploughed up acreage, while others chose a second plan offered by the government whereby they would be re-imbursed for seed, fertilizer and work and given an option on the cotton that the destroyed acreage would have made. The option cot ton amounted to 7,807 bales. The difference between the six cents a pound at which the options were taken and todav’s market price of ten cents. will net the fanners $156,000, making a total of two and a haTf million dollars at which the crop is valued, not including the value of the seed. Farmers Who Kill, Sell Dressed Hogs to Pay Processing Tax Heavy Penalties Are Prescribed for Violation of Evanslon of The Law. Commissioner of Internal Rev enue Guy T. Helvering stated today that it h^s been brought to the at tention of the bureau of internal revenue that many farmers and others are slaughtering hogs and selling the products to consumers without payment of the processing tax. This is a violation of the ag ricultural adjustment act and reg ulations promulgated thereunder which provide that any person who slaughters hogs for market must file appropriate retuns and pay the processing tax thereon. The tax applies even in the ca.»e of the producer who slaughters hi« own hogs and sells or otherwise dis poses of all or any part of the pro ducts. Heavy penalties are provided for violation of the law or evansion ol the tax and any person who slaughters hogs and sells all or any part thereof should confer with the collector of internal revenue for his district who will assist him in pre. paring and filing the required re turns. Ginnings In Polk And Rutherford Prior to Nov. 14 this year there were ginned 13,370 bales of cotton compared with 11.947 same date last year in Rutherford county. Polk county 4,078 compared with 2,421 same date last year. Young Polkville Fanners AttendLive Stock J udging Contest In Kansas City Chas. H. Hearn Is Member Of N. C.

Ten Millions Set Up For Landing Fields; Furnish Work For 500,000 Plans Are Being Pushed Through Out The Nation To Build New Fields, Enlarge Others. Washington, Nov. 26.—Federal ef forts to provide work for the Job less through this winter moved ahead today, along with reorganiza tion of NRA headquarters forces to strengthen code enforcement. The civil works and public works administration announced grants of millions to the states, counties and cities for projects designed to put thousands to earning Plans were laid to employ 500,000 on federal projects. The commerce department enter ed directly into the work-giving pro gram through an announcement by Eugene L. Vidal, director of aero nautics, that $10,000,000 had been allowed his agency by the CWA for landing fields in 2,000 cities and towns. He estimated 50,000 men would be employed in constructing the fields and that $8,000,000 of the fund would go to labor, setting approxi mately $5,000 as the cost per field of which he said only $630 would be needed for materials. Eighty-seven projects submitted to the public works administration by state, city and county officials were refererd to the civil works unit today. Each will be referred to state civic works administrations for approval, Director Harry Hopkins said, if they are found to be of the type that can be operated under the plan. No More Loans For Seed But A Better Plan Is Promised Vew Plan Will Provide For Farm ers To Secure Adequate Credit To Make Crop*. By Extension Department Under the new laws governing the vork of the Farm Credit Adminis - ration, new machinery is being set jp for the handling of seed and fertilizer loans beginning with the 1934 season. North Carolina farm ers will handle their own credit leeds with the aid of the Produc ion Credit corporation affiliated with the Land Bank at Columbia. The new plan provides for farra irs to secure adequate and per nanent credit for producing crops, weeding* raising and fattening live stock and for the production of poultry and all livestock products. The Production Credit corpora tion has a capital stock of $7,500, )00 and will organize, provide the nitial credit for and supervise the operation of local production credit issociations in all communities where the need exists. “It _will be the duty of these as sociations to make loans directly to farmer-borrowers and the associa tions will, in turn, discount the farmers’ notes directly with the Federal Intermediate Credit Bank rf Columbia,” says A. F. Lever, in tharge of public relations for the aank. "If ten or more farmers nanifest an interest in forming an issociation, the Columbia corpora tion will send a representative to the community to help arrange the natter. County farm agents will ilso help.” These associations are not to be set up to provide an easy way for farmers to go into debt but to help aim get out and stay out of debt, Mr. Lever explains. He says that anyone desiring definite informa tion about how to organize one of the associations should talk over the matter with his farm agent or write directly to the corporation at Columbia, 8outh Carolina. It is the belief of extension au thorities at State college that this new plan will be found more satis factory in the long run than the old seed loans of the past.

Miss Simmons is a student ■* "asslfern school at Hpnderson . ille. i Red Cross Drive Is Short Of Goal; Continue Canvass Only 351 Members Obtained Here And Only $855 Is Contribut'd In Drive To Rah' $2,500 For Two County Nurses.
