Export Demands Export demands were good today, but bids were too low for sales. Sentiment in cotton circles was re ported "confused.” According to the new loan sub sidy plan, the fanners will receive as a subsidy an amount equal to the difference between 12 cents and the daily average price on the day the cotton is sold—providing the price is not below 10 cents.

This church. which was founded in 1773, was, if I re member correctly, a former pastor ate of the famous Drury Dobbins, a noted pioneer preacher of Cleve land and Rutherford counties. My! but haven't times changed since the days of Drury Dobbins? The preachers of the present day are generally college graduates and men of considerable culture who go neatly dressed to fill their appoint ments riding in the latest model of the most popular cars. Musical in struments are found in all of the churches, and the choirs sing from books containing both words and notes. Also, the learned minister is frequently addressed as "Doctor'’ instead of "Brother” as was the custom of a generation or two ago. While I was teaching in the Un ion community about 30 years ago. a prominent old gentleman ot that locality told me how Drury Dob bins used to travel when h* came down from his home somewhere on Sandy Run to fill his appointment at Zion in Cleveland county.

Routes will be in depenckmt in that subscribers served in this manner will pay the route carried direct and not The Star office. Delivery by mail or The Star’s rural carrier will be optional with the subscriber. The subscription rates, there-1 fore, will be by mail $2.50 per year; by boy carrier in towns j where The Star maintains house delivery such as Shelby and j suburbs, Kings Mountain, Grover and Lawndale 25c per month: in rural sections 30c per month or $3.50 per year.
