Raleigh, Oct 27.—There is a renew

this section of the State and a brisk
demand for farm land, alhotugh most
of the demand for farm land depends
upon whether or not it has any “al
lotments” on it for cotton and tobacco,
according to real estate men here.
The reason for this is that unless
a farm already has an allotment ot

Raleigh, Oct. 27 —The alarming de
crease in cotton exports litis year as
compared with last .year and previous
years, has convinced Senator Josiali
W. Bailey that this country’s export
cotton business is going to vanish en
tirely unless the government comes to 1
the aid of the cotton growers and
grants them a subsidy or bounty on
all cotton sold for export, he said here
today. Accordingly he expects to sup
port any move made by the govern
ment to pay the farmers* a bounty rep
resenting the difference between the
price paid for export cotton and the
existing market or parity price.
“There has already been such a.
heavy decline in sales of American
cotton for export that export sales so

Lumberton, Oct.. 27 (Apt—Three
men were fatally injured and two oth
ers seriously nurt today as a large
truck crashed into a Seaboard Air

hour.
Johnnie Locklear. 23. suffered a

an injured leg and back. Both are

except Shepherd were employees of
the Lembee veneer plant at Alma
The Indians had been cutting logs
in a swamp five miles from Fair
mont, and Liles was taking them to
their home. Shepherd, a friend of
the driver, was accompanying him on
the trip.
Liles apparently did not see the
train until too late to avoid the col
lision. He swerved to the right and
struck a. box car near the end of the
train.
Coroner D. W. Biggs said no inquest,
would be held.
The crossing, on the southern edge
of Lumberton, is the same at which
