Nov. 15.—Possi bilities of establishment of a sub sistence homestead project, a part of which would be In Gaston coun ty and a part in Cleveland county, appeared today as Representative A. L. Bulwinkle conferred with J. E. Pinchon, manager of the home stead administration of the depart ment of the interior. The recovery bill passed a year and a half ago carried a provision that the sum of twenty million dol lars might be spent on location of homestead projects near populated areas. The general idea is to afford ian opportunity for families and the heads thereof to buy tracts of two to five acres, with homes of four to six rooms thereon, from the government on 20-year payments, and thus become independent. Oc cupants of homesteads would raise poultry, livestock and their own vegetables during the period they are reaching the goal of independ ence by working after regular mill and factory hours. Already one has been established in Pender county for whites, an I other being located at Ware Shoals, 1 in South Carolina, while a project for negroes is to be established at Brfcks, Edgecombe county. as outlined to Manager Pinchon today by Congressman Bulwinkle. the commissioners of Cleveland and Gaston counties have been work ing on the plan for some time and jhave located 900 acres which area i* available at low cost and upon which a homestead could be estab 'J hed and thus afford employment in spare hours for textile workers in the two counties. Mr. Pinchon is | to advise Major Bulwinkle tomor ! row just when he will be able to : v: t the two counties personally tnd confer with backers of the project. The project would call for n - x” ure of $150,000 to $200. oon t it excessive prices will not be paid for land laos'hi-idge In New Job O' L- ughridge, recently married I.to Miss "rm'e Ruth Dellinger has 1 acc-ptcd a poyitfpn with Dellinger's Grocery.

Chief Says Cobb Doesn’t Represent AAACottonViews Disclaims Stand On Bankhead Bill Secretary of Ajrrlrulture Declares Administration Neutral; Up to Farmers to Drrldr. _!_ Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, who opposed the Bankhead bill In the beginning, has disclaimed re sponsibility for the speech of Cully A. Cobb here Monday morning, In which Mr. Cobb urged retention ot the Bankhead bill. Secretary Wallace Is seeking, ho said, to maintain administration neutrality because a ballot on the 1 disputed compulsory control mens-1 ure will bo held during the first two . weeks In December to determine J whether the act shall be continued' another year or scrapped. The legis1 latlon will be discarded unless two thirds of the cotton growers favor It.. A.A.A. la Neutral. Secretary Wallace announced sov eral days ago that neither ha nor the AAA would attempt to Influ ence the election. Cobb In hl3 speech here said he felt that unless the Bankhead bill continued there would be ‘ruination." Opinion In the south Is sharply divided on the crop control act. Today there were protests ovor Cobb’s statement and queries as to whether he represented AAA's at titude. In response to questions at hie press conference as to whether Cobb spoke for him, Wallace smiled and parried the question with: "I suspect that he was speaking In the same capacity as Oscar John ston sometimes does" Johnston Is a Scott, Mississippi planter and la head of the AAA’s cotton pool. He has opposed the Bankhead bUl In the pest and Wal lace plainly Inferred that neither Johnston nor Cobb spoke for htin. lip to Farmer*. later, Wallace (emphasised that "It Is up to the southern cotton farmers to rote as they please, and I don't think we should attempt to Interfere." He added that for this reason he felt he should not express his per* sanal opinion on the Bankhead bill, although he opposed it last year. "I may have changed my mind meanwhile,” he added. Before his return to Washington on Friday Cobb la scheduled tb make another speech on cotton. AAA officials said no attempt to tone down this address had been made and that Cobb would talk ex temporaneously, It was certain, how ever, that Cobb would find a re buke awaiting him once he gets back to the capital. Act N«A Mentioned. Although the secretary compared his Bankhead Mil references to those by Oscar Johnston, other of ficials pointed out that Johnston had never referred to the Bankhead bill In a public address The Miss issippi planter also mate It plain opposng the measure that he spoke In his capacity as a cotton planter. A cotnblnaton of speeches by Cobb on the bill, officials said, would be certain to persuade many farmers that the administration seeks continuation of the act for 1935. Feeling that the AAA favor ed the control measure, officials say, would haVe a decided effect. This Is all the more reason, In the opinion of AAA directors to be oeu i tral. i Charlotte Slated For Air Mail Soon CHARLOTTE, Nov. 15.—Major H O.

Dollar Boost This Year In Cleveland Property Requests Boost In Pastors'Pay I Dr. Zeno Wall, president of the Baptist convention, who asks bigger church budget this year. Wall It Re-elected By N. C. Baptists; Asheville Chosen Baptist Convention Closes With Plea For Forward Steps By Pastor From 8helby. (Special to The Star.) NEW BERN, Nov. 18—Dr. Zeno Wall*, pastor of the First Baptist church at Shelby, was unanimously re-elected president of the conven tion, which was closed here today with the decision to hold next year’s meeting in Asheville. Immediate and major objectives for the 2.400 Baptist churches In North Carolina were set forth yes terday by Dr. Wall in an address to the convention. "In view of our rich and fade less heritage, our large and united denomination and the unmistakable evidence of an upturn in business, your presiding officer would make the following recommendations,” said Dr. Wall. His suggestions were immediately adopted, thus marking the highest ; point reached in the 104t.h annual session of the Baptist gathering. Asks Salary Raise The convention's head said thnt "the time lias now come for us to go forward along all lines; that we call upon our people to add, wher ever possible, at least 10 per cent to the salaries of all pastors, mission aries, teachers, denominational i leaders and workers, that we call ! upon our people to enlarge their | church budgets for next year, that | (Continued on page ten.) 1 Year Ago, They Knew Hunger; Today They’ve Food In Surplus Heaps of new sweet potatoes, with Rood Cleveland soil still fresh ojj their hides, barrels of healthy corn, mountainous piles of hay and fod der, barrels and sacks of peas and | beans,, heavy gallon cans of rich brown molasses, and thousands of quarts of tinned vegetables, apples and peaches— If dumped by a i bountiful Horn of Plenty, the.** : farm products fill two store room:; , at the FERA offices, and overflow into quarters at the Fairground.

Now, in the bountiful evidence of i their produce, you see practical evl '■ tCoutiuueU on page ten) , ♦ Pur an explantion of this appal* ently astounding increase In rad wealth, consider one three-syllable word: confidence. Partners who lifted mules at $90 last year now admit that they are worth $100. There were probably almost as many catle In the county last year as this year—but In 1933, the list ing allowed 2.31fl and this year, 8, 063. Moreover, tax listers made a closer check. And there’s no deny ing, too, that there actually Is more taxable property in the county to day- for Instance, personal- prop erty was listed in 1633 at $3,681,646. This year, at $4,537,749. One Million Increase Total valuations were, In 1933, $27,800,921. This year, they are $28, B61.M2, an Increase of more than one million dollars. A closer inspection of the figures that combine to show this vast jump reveals Interesting data on where all the money In this county actual-, ly Is. Por Instance, $4,679,231 Is Invest-, ed In manufacturing plants. That Is to say, this Is the figure for tax purposes. It Is really somewhat less, for the mill owners reoently ob tained an assessment cut. It com pares to last year’s figure of $4, 183,276. There are 4.880 town lots listed at 16.071.788. as against $6,355,138 last year. There are three more horses In the county and no jackasses—so the tax books say. Rage >tat In Cattle There were 6,107 mules In W, now there are 6,300. An enormous rise Is shown In numbers of cattle 11st ed. Figures for *33 show 3,316, foe this year 3,063. Values last year were $16,087, this year, $36,700. Last year there were 6,466 milk cattle, valued at $138,897, this year 6.503, valued at $145,630. There are 6,713 hogs worth $30,066; now there are 6,110 and the value is $26,906. The number of sheep has decreased, maybe accounted for by numerous barbecues. In 1033, there were 30 sheep, valued at $67, now there are 17, valued at $34. There were 36 goats worth $306, now there are but 11, worth $18. A glance at the dog situation ex plains a good deal about this tax listing business. Anybody knows that the number of dogs In the county hasn’t doubled this year—hut the i number on the books compares like this; 1,801, worth $9,511, to 3,543 worth $13,725. This plainly shows that more people listed more prop erty, at higher values, for taxes this year. The number of automobiles listed this year Is 4,640 and the value $586,054, as against 4,016 and a value of $343,224 last year. Stocks and merchandise have (Continued on page ten) Mrs. A. W.
