TONIGHT* BANK MEETING. Every Henderson citizen should consider it a privilege and an oppor tunity to attend the mass meeting at the court house tonight at eight o'clock held for the purpose of fur thering the movement to reorganize and reopen the closed First National Bank. Every one who can buy stock Is urged to do so. but that is by no means a requisite for attendance upon this meeting. Whatever else may be necessary to get the bank back on its feet can be accomplished with a great deal more ease and determination by the committee in charge of the movement if they are encouraged by an au dience that will fill the court room to its capacity. The public can at least do that much if no more. And the public, which so ardently desires the relief that will be made possible by the reopening of thp bank, owes it to the community, and particularly to the committee, to show this much Internet in the mass meeting. Efforts being made to set the bank again on its feet and make it an in stitution of usefulness In the com munity are a concern of every cit izen, or should be. Every resident of Henderson has a stake in the fate of this bank, and the decision reached will determine in no small measure the future course of progress here. Let’s not forget tonight's bank mass meeting. Let every person be present who can do ao. Reports that will be made will be of interest to all Heyidsraon people. i LETS AVQJD EXCESSES. The campaign preliminary to the Statewide Democratic primary is in its last week today, and candidates are going down the home stretch in a final appeal for support in theli aspirations lo receive the nomination for office, which in North Carolina means election in most instances. Un til a few weeks ago there was not a great deal of interest in contests that are to be decided by the voters, but, as usual, the activities of the can didates have aroused the public to a white heat. Men are likely to do things un<Jer the pressure and tenseness of cam paign excitemnt which they would not otherwise do. This must be guarded against if we are to have an orderly finish of the fight throughout the State. Every citizen should make it a point to safeguard his own temper, to the end that there shall be no excesses committed which might cause -grief or regret later. Where there is popular election of public officials, there is always a division of sentiment on the part of voters. Every candidate has hie friends, and they are enthusiastic in his behalf. But it is easy to work up feelings that will not so easily sub side. After all, most men would strive! to give an honest account of them selves ip office, and it is hardly pro-; bable that the group of candidates in North Carolina would turn the Slate over to the dogs, no matter which of theyn might be elected to offtca Let ue be just as enthused over our. favorites aa we like, but let ua at the sam* time keep our feelings within, the bounds of reason, and let the; world know that we can make up our mind khd express our opinions in an ordgrijr in Uia VUto MEMORIAL RAY AH but six of the forty-eight Ameri can states observe May 30 as Memo rial Day, and on this anniversary are today paying tribute to the men who in times of great national emergency have mads sacrifices, even to tbs point of laying down their Uvea, for the love of their country. It la fit ting that ve should pauss at regular intervals to )a.v a wreath on the bier of those who have died for the prin ciples and institutions which pe who live hold dear and which assure the liberties we enjoy. Different states have observed memorial day on different dales, but in recent years the tendency has been to unite upon a common date in the calendar, so that now the decision is almost unanimous for May 30. Amer ica Is so far removed from the Civil War that sectionalism has virtually | been eliminated in this country, and the people can bow their heads in solemn reverence to the memory alike of the men who fell in all the wans j in which the country has fought. Every one desires the perpetuation of peace, and there is general hope I that some day war may be outlawed | in.reality as well as upon paper. But ! it must not be forgotten that much of the progress of civilisation through : the ages has been built upon the . ; sacrifices made on battlefields that I have at one time or another turned the face of the earth red with the blood of patriots. Except fqr the love of freedom that burned in the breasts of the colonial patriots, we should I probably not be an independent na- j tion today. The disputes an dinjus- j ttces that forced the War of the Re- : volution could hardly have been set- I tied without bloodshed. A century and n half later, in this present time, it ; might have been different, but it is j not much different in some parts of the world even yet. War. as such, is hard to justify, especially in the manner in which it ! is carried on by the use of devices j of destruction created by the inven- ! tive genius of the modern world. And that very power of destruction may prove the instrument to relegate war into the limbo. These modern trends, in every sense of the word high and noble and de- , serving of aucceas, should not cause ; us to forget the sacrifices of those brave men who have brought us thus ! far They died for causes they believed right and mtrit all the honor and 1 tribute we can give. So we observe Memorial Day again. Apd its greatest I meaning ought to be Its beckon call for a re-dedication to service for the ! peace and happiness of ail humanity, ; _ i BUYING FARM LAND. Reports of large attendance at land tales where property goes under the 'tamnter in foreclosure actions in /arious parts of the State offer en couragement and hope that a better j lay will come. Auctioneers’ cries never lack for responses, and. While j trices paid are usually low. as na- j uraily every one is after what he de- i ires at the lowest price possible, the j nterest shown is an unmistakeable , vidence of a returning faith in the i rue value of real property. The faith is well grounded. Land is i omething which, though it may de- | reciate in value, never dries up and lows away; it is a permanent poa- ; ession. More and more land is be- , rig relieved of the burden of taxes. { nd that in itself is going to make it more desirable property. This, however, is just as good an rgument for those who now own. ind to keep it as it is for those ■ho do not own it to buy It now. j TODAY TODAY’S ANNIVERSARIES 1790—James Renwick, a noted Ams- j lean scientist and scientific writer of ; is day, born in England.

BARKKHVILI. Raleigh, May 90. —Increased yields of from 200 up to 700 pounds of seed cotton an acf« hqve been secured by the simple expedient of using ah ex tra application of quickly available nitrogen around cotton when the plants have been thinned to a stand and are ready for the next cultivation, report county farm agent* and vo cational teachers who have been con ducted field demonstrations in this practice during the past few years- Because it was impossible in many cases to give the cotton and other crops a full ration of plant food at planting time this season, these field workers say it appears more impera tive to make side application* of nit rogen fertilizer this spring- Indica tions are that there will be more Insect infestation on crops In 1932 than in some years past. The past winter was especially favorable for the over-wintering of the cotton boll weevil and if the Heason should be damp and rainy during July and Au gust, the cotton will be badly dam aged by the depredations of this pest. To push the cotton into quick growth therefore seems to be imperative. Farmers generally have little money to spend now for side applications of fertilizers but county agents figure that even with cotton selling for six cents a pound, a better profit per acre is Secured from side-dressing over ; where no side application is used. An j instance of this is Been in a demon -1 stration conducted last year by M. C. i Honeycutt of Cooper who applied an I extra 100 pounds per acre of Chilean j nitrate of soda in addition to the re gular fertiliser put under his cotton. I J. T. Coble of Hiddenite secured an j .increased yield of 300 pounds and i Joseph Liles of Littleton secured 700 ! pounds increase. Increases of as much ' as 200 pounds of seed cotton an acre ; from the use of 100 pounds of the . nitrate fertilizer are a common oc [ currence, report farmers who have followed the practice. Ehringhaut as Governor And Mormon as Senator Expected To Be In Lead (Continued rrom r*age One.) as being in htird place in the Sena torial contest, Tam C. Bowie in fourth place and Arthur Simmons in fifth. No one can be found who believes that either Morrison or Reynolds can get enough votes to avoid a second primary. The contest ror tbe gubernatorial nomination is becoming increasingly close, all obseryers agree, with in dications that there will not be a very wide gap betwee nthe total number of votes cast for all three candidates. However, moat of the reports indicate -hat Ehringhaus has continued to gain steadily during the past week, that Fountain has not slipped back as far as his opponents say he has and that Maxwell, while still making some pro gress, did not make the gains that his friends hoped he would. On the bgsis that 350,000 votes will be cast in the primary next Satur lay, the vote for the three candidates is apportioned about as follows: Ehringhaus. 135,000. Fountain. 115,000. Maxwell, 100,000. This summary, of course, is not agreed with by the managers of any -if the candidates or by the candidates themselves. There is no diubt that both Ehringhaus and Major L. P. McLendon, his manager, are coming more and more tp believe that Ehringhaus may be nominated in the first primary or that he will have a lead of at least 50,000 votes over his nearest opponent. It is also apparent that Maxwell and his manager, Robert Ruark, confidently believe Maxwell has a chance to be in first place, although they have let many ■believe that they are not expecting anything *note than second plaae. Most of the Maxwell supporters are already confident that Maxwell will be in second place. Fountain and his manager. J. L DeLaney. of course, believe that Foun tain will be in first place, certainly not less than In second place. Within the past few days several of the more ardent Fountain supporters have been predicting that Fountain would be first. Maxwell second and Ehringhaus in third place. Some of the Maxwell supporters are also putting out the suggestion that Ehringhaus may run ’hird. But some of the reports f rotq the various counties and districts would indicate this. The bulk of these reports place Ehringhaus firyt and either Fountain or Maxwell in sec ond place. In the counties east of Raleigh, the contest is clearly neck and neck be tween Ehringhaus and Fountain, with very little interest in Maxwell- In the fiedmont, Maxwell's strength be comes more formidable, ulthough in dications are that Ehringhaus will lead both Maxwell and Fountain in most of these counties except ip For jyth am) Guilford- In Forsyth- Max well is now reP 01-1 * 41 to have a slight edge, although some reports indicate that all three candidates are about equally strong. In Guilford, present reports are that the three candidates will about break even. In the western part of the State, it is generally agreed that Fountain will carry Ashe ville and Buncombe county and get a plurality over both Ehringhaus and Maxwell there- But in most of the other western counties, recent reports indicate that Ehringhaus seem* to be well in tbe lead, with either Fountain 1 or Maxwell in second place. Taking -the State by Congressional districts, the outlook seems to be about as follows; First district: Ehringhaus expected ! to carry, Beaufort, Camden, Chowan, ! Currituck, Dare, Oates, Hertford. 1 Hyde, **6WK»Unk (Ehriiur baus' torn* Tyni tad w W k l|he ABgouqudn hotel dining room at. the same time j ...

Hert ford county was credited with being for Fountain until a week or ten days ago but now is reported as being for Ehringhaus. Second district: About an even break between Ehringhaus and Foun tain. Ehringhaus is slated to carry Bertie, Greene. Halifax and Norlhamp ton, while Fountain is reported to be in the lead in Edgecombe, his home county, Lenior, Warren and Wilson, although some reports indicate that Ehringhaus may carry tLenior and Wilson counties. Third district: Most of these coun ties, with the exception of Wayne, are expected to go for Ehringhaus. Wayne, former home of Maxwell, is conceded to him. Ehringhaus is re ported defininitely in the lead in Car teret, Craven, Duplin, Jones, Onslow. ' Pamlico, Pender and Sampson, al though some reports say Fountain may carry Onslow and Pamlico. Fourth district: Ehringhaus expect ed to carry Chatham, Johnston and Vance counties, while Fountain is slated to get Nash, his neighboring county, and possibly Franklin. A close contest between all three candidates is indicated in Wake county'. Old fifth district: Enringhaus is reported to have the lead in Alamance, Caswell, Granville, Orange. Surry, Person and Rockingham counties. Maxwell is expected to have aslight lead in Forsyth, although Forsyth is also claimed by both Fountain and Ehringhaus. Maxwell may carry Dur- ’ ham county, though Ehringhaus for- i ces are also claiming it, where the < oontest is conceded close. i Old sixth district: Most of these counties are expected to go for Ehring „ haus, who is reported as leading in Biaden, Brunswick. Columbus. Cum berland, Harnett and Robeson, with Fountain running second in most of these. Maxwell forces are claiming New Hanover and possible lead in 1 Cumberland. Old seventh district: Ehringhaus ex pected to carry Anson. Davie, David son, Hoke. Lee. Richmond and Union 1 counties. Fountain expected to carry i Moore and probably' Montgomery', thoqgh these are also claimed by 1 Ehringhaus forces.

II J. E. HAMLETT I Sheriff Os Vance County carry Randolph, Wilkes and Yadkin counties and possibly Scotland, tho ugh Scotland is claimed by Ehring haus forces. Fountain forces are also claiming Lee. Richmond and Union counties. Old eighth district: Stanly, Alle ghany, Ashe and Watauga counties expected to go for Fountain, with Cabarrus, Caldwell, Iredell and Alex ander conceded to Ehringhaus. Ro wan may go for Maxwell, although claimed by Ehringhaus Old ninth district: Ehringhaus ex pected to carry Mecklenburg, Gas ton, Cleveland, Catawba and Madison counties, while Fountain is expected to carry Lincoln, Mitchell, Yancey, and Avery. Maxwell is expected to cany Burke. Old tenth district: Fountain is ex pected to carry Buncombe, and pos sibly Jackson and Macon. Ehringhaus expected to carry Cherokee. Clay'. Graham, Haywood, McDowell, Ruth erford, Swain and Transylvania. Mox well expected to carry Henderson and Polk counties. It is generally agreed, of course, thut the complexion of many of these counties may be changed during this last week of the campaign. But the reports received from most of these counties indicate there has not been much change in the past week.
