•
A substantial reduction In tobacco
acreage In Vance county and this sec*
tion of the State ts In prospect for
932. In the opinion of J. W. Sanders,
county farm agent, who today placed
the probable cut at from 15 to 20
per cent under the figure for last
year's plantings. He said Vance
county growers reduced their crop
about 17 per cent in 1931 under the
acreage planted in 1930. so that the
plantings this year will be from one
fourth to one-third below what they
were two years ago.
Financing of the crop will be a dif
ficult matter for some growers, and
the fact that they wlll« not be able to
gro wtheir usual quotas this year will
mean a considerable drop.' It! id be
lieved. It is believed likely that gov
ernment seed loans may be extended
In some cases this year, but they may
be somewHat restricted in Instances
from what they were in 1931.
Seedbeds will be planted shortly,
but no very definite indication of
acreage can be had from that. It is
when the transplanting gets under
way that an idea may be obtained as
to what to expect in the size of the
crop. That will be probably a couple
of months yet. About all the infor
mation available at this time is in
expressions from farmers, and most
of them are understood to be of a i
mind to make a sharp curtailment in
acreage.
The fact that the price was so low
during the past year is expected to
have its effect in cutting down 1932
plantings. A combination of circum
stances will operate to reduce acre
age. in the opinion of the county
agent.

Meaning Os Far Eastern
Trouble Given By Babson
Shows How Far World Has Sunk In Jealousies, Greed,
Moral Laxity; World Is At Crossroads and Must
Cooperate for Common Good; Spirituality Needed
BY ROGER W. BABSON,
Copyright 1952, Publishers Financial
Bureau.
Babson Park, Fla., Feb. 13.—The
real significance of the Sino-Japan
ese situation is that it shows how far
the world has sunk into the abyss of
national jealousies, spiritual decad
ence, selfishness, greed, and moral
laxity. Japan is trying to accomplish
in the Orient what Germany attempt
ed in Europe, and sooner or later will
suffer just as Germany suffered. At
first European powers ignored Jap
an's action, perhaps secretly hoping
that the United States might become
embroiled and they could sell the
United States and Japan goods and
ammunition just as the United States
sold them goods and ammunition in
the World War. When, however, it
becomes apparent that Japanese ac
tion in China may endanger their
own interests, foreign powers appar
ently see the advisability of joining
with us to urge peace. Atrocious as
the Japanese ravages in Cina are,
they will have served one useful pur
pose if they show the world the nec
essity for backing up the cause of
international co-operation for peace.
It would be suicidal for Japan to
go' to war with ■ the United States
single-handed, and it would be very
unwise for the United States to go
to war single-handed with Japan.
Such a conflict could never be con
fined, but would very likely become
a world conflagration. It might easily
mean a break-down of all political
stability throughout the world, to be
followed by both economic and po
litical anarchy. Japan might wage a
profitable war upon China because
that would not cost her very much,
but she can not long wage such a
war without treading on others’ in
terests.
The World At The Cross-Roads.

Another meeting of the Townsville
group will be held on February 26,
this being only for members. Harry
B. Caldwell, state lecturer and or
ganiser for the grange, will be at
Tonsville on Monday afternoon at
3:30 o'clock for the purpose of meet
ing with the officers of the grange
there and Instructing them regarding
their duties with the organisation.
Two more jGrange meetings are
scheduled to take place in ance coun
ty next week, both of these being first
meetings for the organisation of
Grange chapters at these places. The
first will be held at Zeb Vance school
on Monday night at 7:30 o’clock and
the other will take place at Dabney
on Thursday night. Fewer meetings
at their two places are planned, it
was announced, since the grange Idea
seems to have groyn in * favor In
Vance county. It is possible that of
ficers may be elected and Installed
at the first meetings of the grange
organizations In-these-Upo places. No
more than two meetings :are expected
at these places J.."W. Sanders., county
farm agetit. has announced.
Mr. Caldwell*, who, has been actively
engaged In organising the grange
chapters in Vance county yesterday
afternoon met with the agriculture
teachers of Franklin county and talk
ed to them regarding the forming
of chapters there. A mass meeting of
farmers will be arranged for the near
future In Franklin to organise. It was
learned..
States is of utmost importance to her
very economic existence. Ninety-seven
per cent of her silk exports go to the
United States and silk Is her most
important industry. Japan could re
ceive no financial support. She is al
ready off the gold standard. An ad
verse balance of trade of IS9 million
yen was reported for 1931. She has
a national debt of six billion yen. 1,-
500 million yen of which is payable
to foreign countries In gold. She i*
not a good risk for the bankers of
Europe or for any country. If, indeed,
the military authorities of Japan have
gained the ascendency over the civil
government, she may act like a mad
dog for a time;'but la the end even
the military officials, must, know that
against an Übited fibnt of the great
powers she Would face national de
struction by waging war.
The world is at the cross-roads- The
Japanese situation merely brings out
into the open the underlying decad
ence of national, and
morality, it shows to every country’
the necessity for sacrificing national
ambitions, jealousies, and greed, in or
der to avoid what might become the
virtual destruction of civilisation.
Both Europe eand the United States
are faced with one of two decisions.
They can continue along the present
course of national hatred and advan
tage-seeking. o rthey can unite on an
international plan for peace and re
covery. The whole question of war
debts, tariffs, the Versailles treaty,
armaments, and monetary standards
must be thrashed out. There is, of
course, no- present hope of disarma
ment. We must first abolish the eco
nomic and spiritual causes of war.
What the world needs today is a com
plete change of heart. As for the
United States, we mus tdeclde either
to join with the rest of the world in
straightening out these sore spots, or
else completely forget the rest of the
world and not interfere anywhere.
Effects On Business.
The entire Sino-Japanese mass is a
bad thing for the United States to
get mixed up in. Whatever happens,
however, I believe that the distur
bance in the Orient may help us to
take our mind off our troubles here
and this may be the very thing to
help business. Furthermore, the
threat to world pace should hasten
some settlement of European debts
and other pressing foreign problems.
It may; of course, result in an ac
celeration of the gold movement from
this country since at times such as
these all nations seek to accumulate
all the gold they can as a precau
tionary means in case of war. Pur
chases of war material. 1 ft he trou
ble Is confined to Japan and China,
would stimulate our sales of cotton,
wheat, and certain other raw mat
erials; but the unsatisfactory flnan
' rial condition of both Japan and;
China would prevent any large loans
and purchases! necessary to prolong
ed war.
The decline in the Japanese yen has
already caused the bottom to drop out
of the raw silk market. Silk prices
always tend to fluctuate with Jap
anese exchange. Os course, should the
United States become Involved to the
extent of employing economic boy
cott. silks and other goods Imported
from Japan would precipitately’ rise
in price. At the same time this would
cause great trade disturbances abroad
which would have their effects here,
especially on certain exporting Indus
tries.
Need For Spiritual BevlvaL

to the farms without an offer, it was
started, and this was used for bed

baccos sold for the year before at
ona to five cents a pound, the report
says.
The season's price to date is placed
at $8,98, as compared with $13.14 per
hundred pounds last year, and $18.40
two years ago. for the State as a
whole. Prices at this season of the
year are usually low, due to the In
clusion of such sersp tobacco, it is
said.
nance Corporation has'begun to op
erate to loosen frbzen credit. Wh&t
Is really needed now for the economic
recovery is a change In the spirit of

could have a world spiritual revival,
then a business revival would quick

The history of Vance County and
Henderson is rich with patriotic, ser
vice of its people to our state ’ and
nation during times of war as well as
in time of peace. In the Revolution
ary period, when our county was a
part of Old But County, the saying
became famous, “There are no Tories
in Okl Bute.” The record of our peo
ple during the Confederate, Spanish
American and World War is one that
any people should be justly proud of.
Today. Henderson is a military cen
ter, with its numerous organizations,
consisting of Company C, of 120th
National Guard, which saw service
on the Mexican border and was at
tached to the famous 30th division
during the great World War, which
served so valiantly. Also the service
company of 105th Medical Regiment
with four officers ranking as cap
tains, with the Regimental Band of
20 pieces attached is located here.
One hundred and fifth Regimental
Headquarters under the oomtnand
of Col. Hodge Newell is located in
Henderson, besides several staff of
ficers are Henderson men.
Henderson is a beautiful residen
tial city, its streets are lined with
shade trees. This Is abundantly shown
by the refinement of the homes, the
number and artistic beauty of their
churches and schools .and achieve

Political Gossip Heard
As Primary Approaches
Former Sheriff D. L. Kearney to Attempt “Comeback 4 ;
Nearly All Gtturity Office# Except Court Clerk To
Be Filled This Year; Legislative Gosaip
While there has been a general
apathy and lack of interest toward
politics thus far In Vance county,
there Is a trifle more talk of It now
than there has been.
One of the most Interesting bits of
news is that of the announced Inten
tion of former Sheriff D. L. Kearney
to seek hh old office again. He wilt
be a candidate in the Democratic
primary of June against Sheriff J.
E. Hamlet, who defeated him two
years ago. The incumbent will also
seek re-election.
Such other talk *8 is going the
rounds is only talk and gossip, so far
as has been learned, and references
to developments are solely of that
nature. Horace M. Robinson is a can
didate to succeed himself as register
of deeds as he rounds out his first
term in that office. Recorder T. 8.
Kittretl is expected to be a candidate
l again, though there ;s talk of opposi
tion from some quarters. No expres
sion has been had from members of
ing and is modern in every respect.
Nine thousand books are available
for use of the public, besides the li
brary operates the Dunbar library at
the colored graded school for the Ne
groes, and also has two branch li
braries; one in Townsville. N. C., and
the other at South Henderson. Our
modern County Home and hospital.
Maria Parham hospital and Scott
Parker Sanitorium are equipped to
take care of and render medical ser
vice and attention for our people.
There are numerous organizations'
here, social, fraternal and business.
A modern country club with a golf
course is located just beyond the city
limits, and provides facilities for so
cial functions.
Henderson people as a whole are a
religious people. This is evidenced by
their interest in religious matters.
There are eight denominations with
churches in Henderson, besides the
local corps of the Salvation Army.
Their church buildings are among the
finest and most modern in the State,
of which the city is justly proud.
Henderson and Vance has played
an important part in the life of the
State. Many of our citizens have held
positions of honor and trust in the
affairs of the State and life of its
people. Henderson people are friend
ly, sociable and have close commun
ity spirit. They are willing to work
together for all things that are for
the public good. Henderson and
Vance County with its rich
background, and high-class citizen
ship which is deeply interested In the
finer things of life is working and
striving to make life happier, better,
more prosperous and more worth
while.

• the Board of County Commissioners,
three of whom will be up for re-elec
tion tills year.
John Boddie Crudup, who has '.re
presented Vance county in the State
House of Representatives, Is expected
by his friends to run again for that
office. It is Vance county’s time to
nominate the State Senator this year
from the fourteenth senatorial dis
trict composed of Vance and Warren
counties, since Warren furnished the
senator in 1931. R. S. McCoin’s name
IftAs been linked with that race. He
was In the legislature several terms
ten or a dozen years ago. The name
of D. P. McDuffee has also been con
nected with the gossip for that post.
While the primary is only little
more than three months away, there
appears to be no disposition anywhere
to hurry matters. The opinion seems
to be that there Is ample time to
weigh all candidates and issues, and
that the people are not in much of
mood for a long campaign.
