OTHERS’VIEWS
TO THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
To the Editor:
I saw in the Dispatch that there I
had been Talk of doing away with
Mrs. Plummer's part of our demon-<
aeration work. j,
The tax payers appreciate ail you |
are trying to do for us in the way of
lowering our taxes, but I do not be- ; I
lleve you could be so hard hearted an ]
to false ths farm women's one and j
only county officer and one who has
worked so faiflhfuliy. nevei having
spared either herself or her pocket
book to help the women in both town
and county.
I would be ashamed to say just how
many women all rolled into one 1
would think lias done as much to help
build ups feed, cloth and give plc&suie
to ths men. women and chiUlien of i
the county as has Mrs- Plummer. j
I class her along with Dr. R. J. j
Gill as the county’s friend. T wish
we might send her to the fountain of
youth, so that she might never grow
too old to be our county demonstrator.
I could write on and on as to jprhat j
and how I think she has helper the
people of the county.
The part of her salary tha; the
county pays is so pitifully small only,
only S4OO 00. I dare say that each
tax- payer's part would not be one
ceat even. I know one man's salary
that I think could be easily sliced off
and then he would have cause to be
very thankful the county has so lav
ishly taken care of him for so many
many yean with its tax money. So
far as I have heard the depression has
not lessened the counties care of hkn
and he is not a product of the county
as is Mrs. Plummer.
So please listen to the plea of the
farm women and others and let us'keep
Mrs. Plummer.
. 1 believe r voice the sentiment of
hundreds of the women of the county
as well as numbers of the men who
have kept in touch witfi her work,
v.., MRS S. F. COGHILL.

willing friend and business associate.
Success will surely be attained unless
there be exceedingly bad speelal as

probably lead to greater success than
individual effort.
By Central Press
New York, Aug. 29 Sometimes I
wonder what habitual theatergoers do
with themselves in times like the past
few weeks, whon not a ne<w ohow in
to<wn opened town
opened with any
promise of first
r)a|t d en’fertpin
ment.
The habitual
theatergoer is a
sort of separate
species. At heart
he cares little
about the dram*. But he likes the
smell, th eitnsel. the murmur of theat
ers; he likes the breathless pause be
fore the curtain when conversation
tiles out like a faint wind in the reeds
- when the lights go down and asbes
tos drop rises slowly over a canary
yellow glow.
- That's fun. Cold is the knaghna
t on of the ma rvwho doesn’t react to
P. But to get just that —the fol-derol
r f the prelude, and nothing else, night *
,-fter night would gravely endanger
the average person’s sanity. A bad
play can be so bad that the scar of
it remains upon the consciousness for
days.
But not for the first-nigh* bug or
the simple theater hound. To them
just to sit in the magic halls is
enough. And of late there have been
week* whe n there wasn't a show even
he moat confirmed smoker of show
clamor could stuff into his pipe that
he hadn't seen three times before.
"What do you do for entertainment
these nights?" I asked an addiet of
long standing recently. "You and all
the other greasepaint sniffers?”
He shook his head mournfully.
‘‘We drink,” he answered i n de-pair.
PROSPECTS
But for those milder habitues of thp
enchanted foyers, what Is in store?
T have a sort of hunch that this is
eoing to be a wow season. I have a
oremoniMon that successes are going
to pop like roman candles in the side
streets west and east of Broadway.
TO NAME NAMES
There are several scheduled produc
, tiona which I would lay two to one
will be. if not great drama, then even
ings of memorable excitements.
First I want to see Mr. 3 N. Be
hrman’s play, “Love Story.” Be hr man
commands a unique and contagious
gayety in his lines;, and he can alsd
weave suspense that’is different froni
melodrama and mor e enthralling. Hii
' Meteor” was unfong-ttafele.
Next. I wouldn’t miss Mr. Noel
Coward’s opus, which is to be as full
of stars as th* movie “Grand Hotel ”
according to reports. Mr. Coward
himself will be in It. together with
Alfred Lunt and Lynne Founuanne. T
don’t sa laamtoo deeply before Mr.
Coward, but -h* 1a engaging at tmies.
and there is a oort of duty involved lq
seeing Mr. Lunt and his wlfe'perj
form. (
In cases like that I qualify siflih tha
professional non-critic play watchers
mentioned above. The air of tli* pair
enchants me. Coward's play la fetch
ingly titled. "Design for Living.”
Then there's th* Sen Hecht-Gene
Fowler play. “Th* Great Magoo”.
Hecht is lively and robust, and if Mr.
Fowler has never written anything
except the standard brands expected
of a competent newspaperman, this'
may offer him opportunity to display
genuine talent. What’s happened, by
>he way, to "Twentieth Century,” pro-;
wised from the Hecht-MacArthug
typewriters last year?
Os course, “Dinner at Eight," byj
Edna Ferber and George 3. Kauf-j
mann, will draw the "carriage trade.' 1 *
and It will conceivably deserve it.
They will surel yconcoct something
to the popular taste, and in the case,
of “The Royal Family” they sacrific
ed nothing of respectable drama.
And finally there are the musicals :
•by Aarons and Freedtoy, Bari Carroll
and the Shubert show—most titillat
ing of mil—with Clifton Webb, Charier
Butterworth aad the Ta
mara G«va.

Raleigh, Aug. 29. —(AP) —North Car
ollna’s State’s Prison last fiscal yjar
maintaiaod and supported the large??
average population it has ever had
at a coat estlssated by George Ross
Pou, superintendent, to be less than
half the- national average for support
and maintenance.
The per capita coat for maintain
ing an average of 2,834 prisoners dur
ing 1931-32 was $l5O, to which was
added $lB per capita for administra
tive and auxiliary expense, while In
1930-31 the per capita cost of support
was $221, to which was added s2s per
capitaf ro other expenses.
The national average for mainten
ance in 1931-32, Mr. Pou said figures
in his hands Indicated, was slightly
more than S3OO per capita.
Per capita cost of maintenance in
this state was reduced 35.06 per cent
in 1931-32 under the preceding year
and 42.74 per cent under the 1929-30
figure of $262.
Mr. Pou reported that the prison
spent only 65 per cent of its legisla
tive appropriation during 1931-32, or
-546,558, and turned back to the State
treasury -82,762 of its allotment made
by the budget bureau. The bureau al
lowed the prison $629,320 for the per
iod, but only 86 per cent of this was
needed-
During 1931-32 a total of 3,111,732
meals were served at the central pri
son and its auxiliary camps at an
average cost of .0422 cents each. Os
this amount only .0234 cents represent
ed a cash expenditure, the other .0188
cents representing produce grown by
the prisoners. The total meal cost,
however, included salaries of stewards
as well as fuel chargee.
The prison served 2,666,325 meals in
1936-31 at a coet of .0713 each.
Illustrative of the way the prison
is “living-at-home,” Mr. Pou pointed
out that central prison expended $13,-
996.77 in cash on meals, while pri
son-produce amounting to $14,269.32
was used also. At Caledonia, the pri
son’s largest farm unit, prison produce
used aggregated $25,577.49 in value,
while cash expended for food for pri
soners was only $14,762.66. A fuel pro
duction of $5,838.50 worth of wood at
Caledonia was shown.
Diecuaarag per capita maintenance
coats, Mr. Pou said he had noted with
interest that Warden Lewis Lawes of
Sing Sing had recently written that
last year per capita cost there was
more than S4OO while in this State it
was $l5O.
