Raleigh, Aug. 13. —There is no doubt
that the State of North Carolina is
eventually going into the coal business
and the lime fertilizer business, de
spite the fact that the State Highway
and Public Works Commisssion an
nounced that the main reason for its
purchase of land containing co,q and
lime deposits was because it was “ex
cellent farming land”. That is. tne
State is going to mine some of its
own coal for use in some of the State
institutions and possibly public
schools and is going to mine lime to
us e as fertilizer on the State prison
farms and along the shoulders of the
highways. It is not, of course, going
to sell coal or fertilizer commercially
in competition with private business.
It is expected that a howl will im
mediately go up in protest of such
action on the part of the State, espe
cially from the coal deaelers and the
fertilizer companies, desepite the fact
that the State can save from $500,000
to $1,000,000 a year for its taxpayers
by mining its own coal and producing
its own fertilizer. Only a few weeks

Raleigh, Aug. 13.—The latest relief
beef canning factory to be definiteley
approved will be in Asheville with a
capacity of about 30 cattla a day, Mrs.
Thomas O'Berry, State FERA admin
istrator, has just announced. Two
other canneries, one in Wilson and
one in Greensboro, have alreaedy been
approved. The Wilson cannery, with
a capacity of 30 cattle a day and
employing about 400 persons, is ex
pected to be ready for operation wrrn
in about ten days. Th e Greensboro
cannery, with a capacity of 75 ca “
a day and employing more than 500
people, will not be ready for operation
for about 30 days yet, Mrs. O’Berry
said, since considerable work must
be done in getting the building ready
for actual canning operation.
It had been hoped to establish a
cannery in Asheville capable of handl
ing 75 instead of 30 cattle a day, Mrs.
O’Brry said, but a building large
enough for the more extensive opera
tions could not be obtained.

Mountain Evangelist
Says God Restored
Him From Rattler’s
, >
Poison
Sylvia, Aug. 13 (AP) —Albert Tees
ter, the rattlesnake evangelist of the
mountains, exhibited himself before his
flock today as evidence of the curative
power of faith.
A week ago the 39-year-old preacher
amazzed his followers by brandishing
a five-foot rattlesnake in his pulpit,
and, to test his faith, letting it sink
its fangs into the flesh of his right
arm.
Today he credited his virtual com
plete recovery without medical aid to
the "greatest of all healers—Jesus
Christ.” j
Throughout the wild, isolated moun
tain country west of here the news
of the “miracle” has spread into every
cabin, and a steady stream of grizzled
mountaineers and their families found
their way to the Teester house to see
the man who got well from the rat
tler’s bite. |
“I did not let the snake bite me for
personal glory. I did it so people all
over the world who need the Word of
God might see the light. God told me
to pick up that rattlesnake and I had
no fear. I‘d do it again. I’d do any
thing God told me,” h esaid.

Washington, Aug. 13 (AP)-nPresi
dent Roosevelt, in conferences on the
drought today, ordered Federal pur
chases of any foodstuffs which might
otherwise go to waste and laid down
an ultimatum against politics in the
campaign.
He authorized Aubrey Williams, as
sistant Federal relief administrator,
and Secretary Wallace to draft a plan
for government purchase of hay and
fruit in small quantities which might
not otherwise be harvested.
Williams emphasized this was pri
marily to afford relief for the small
growers. He said there was no con
cern over possible lack of sufficient
food. Officials have explained all
along food supplies would be adequate.
The President and Williams were de
scribed a sholding the opinion that a
slight improvement has occurred in
the drought area in the last three days.
The President authorized Williams
to dismiss immediately any Federal
relief worker who is a candidate fob
office this year, or who prefers to par
ticipate actively in the political cam

Hull is for world settlement of eco

period of the Roosevelt administration
he found himself a lone figure. The
United States, through New Deal
measures, was to work out its own
problm. Thee majority of New Deal
measures were accepted by the peo

An unnatural stimulation brought

Chicago, Aug. 13 (AP) —Rain patter
ed down todg.y in four of the states
hardest hit by the destructive drought.
Generally, the precipitation came
too late to be of much aid to the ma
jor crops, although in some of the
production areas, among them the Ne
braska panhandle, it was said the
showers might insure a fair crop of
corn. t
Elsewhere the rain was more than
welcome to relieve acute water'' short
ages, and to stave off a 1935 crop dis
aster. Farmers needed heavy rains,
they said ,to provide pasturage.
They were downpours in parts of
southeastern Nebraska, with falls of
two inches in the central section of
the state. Three weeks of abnormally
hig htemperatures had left the prair
ies parched.
Northern Oklahoma saw its first
measurable rain in more than two
months. The Cheyenne Indians re
garded it as an answer to a dance
staged Saturda yto arouse the rain
gods.
General but light rains also visited
Kansas and Missouri, burned by weeks
of furnace like heat. The relief which
had been moving slowly across the
