NO LOCAL LIQUOR
INJUNCTION LIKELY
Any Attempt To Forestall
Election May Have To
Come from Outside
No injunction will he sought amt no
other move made locally so far as
could he learned today, to forestall the
election on Saturday, June 29, called
by the Vance Board of County Com
missioners yesterday to give the peo
ple an opportunity to decide whether
nr not they wish to attempt to handle
the liquor problem here by county
owned and controlled liquor stores.
If any court action is taken, it will
probably be by dry agencies in the
State at large, according to one prom
inent dry.
There has been some question as to
whether or not the elections in all of
the 17 counties, as authorized by the
recent C.eneral Assembly, were con
stitutional. in that certain ones were
picked out and the legislation does
not apply to the State as a whole.
There has been talk that the United
Dry Forces of the State would at
tempt to contest the elections, and
more recently their strategy has been
referred to as probably centering in
an effort in one particular county.
Franklin county, nextdoor neighbor
to Vance, which has an election pend
ing. has been named in speculation
about the issue as the probable center
of the fight to bar the elections by
court order.
Meanwhile, registration books were
open today for the first time to per
mit voters to qualify to participate in
the June 29 balloting. The book* will i
bn open only on Saturdays for the |
next four consecutive weeks, closing \
at the end of the day on Saturday, j
June 22. a week before the election. |
At one precinct up to nf*ar the noon
hour there had been only one regis
tration .

tive June 1.
Charles G. Ward, who has been oc

the Seaboard Air I/me Railway in
1918 in Quincy, Fla. Mr. Ward is
rated a very valuable employee of the
Seaboard since severing his connection
with the United States Army. He
served in the Mexican trouble in 181.6
and also in the World War. Mr.
Ward will he accompanied to Raleigh
by his wife, and daughter.

program today, said the policy of the
movement had not been worked out in
detail, but that it was earnestly' de
sired that every one interested in the
market and in the advancement of the
city join the body.
Committees taht have been named
to solicit members will wait upon the
business people next week with a view
to lining up citizens in all lines of
activity as members. The club will be
organized at. an early date. The plan
to be used is similar to that under
which the Ten-and-Ten club was or
ganized several years ago for 10,000,-
000 pounds of tobacco and 10,000 bales
of cotton for that season, both of
which goals were attained at that
time.
Henderson has a trading area of 30
miles or more, and it is felt that there
is no reason why Henderson should
not sell 25,000,000 pounds of tobacco
and 10,000 bales of cotton during the
coming season.

Apparently seeking to make his

Congressional leaders of the drive

Youths Injured In Truck
Wreck Near Warrenton
Are Badly Hurt
Louis Mitchell and Ray Jordan, of
Conway. Northampton county, who
were seriously injured in the wreck of
the. large freight truck they Were, ope
rating near Warrenton Friday aft
ernoon. were reported as improved to
day at Maria Parham Hospital here,
where they were brought for treat
ment after receiving first aid care in
Warrenton.
Jordan is worse seriously injured,
and his condition was described as
critical, hut he was thought to have
at least, an even chance for recovery.
Doctors were encouraged over his con
dition today. He suffered internal in
juries and his pelvis fractured. He
was driving the truck at. the time of
the accident. Mitchell, who received
a broken arm, a broken leg and a
mashed ankle, was in a serious condi
tion. hut much less so than his com
panion .
The van they were operating at the
time of the accident was owned by
the Jones Transfer and Warehouse
Company of Norfolk, Va. It ran off
the highway and crashed into a small
stream about half a mile from War
renton at the. intersection of the Li
• beria and Macon highways.
The two men were pinned in the
I wreckage about 45 minutes before be
jmg extricated and given first, aid
treatment by Dr. W. D. Rodgers in
(Warrenton. The dflav in removing
the men from the truck was due to
the fact that they were wedged be
tween ttie van vjd the motor. War
renton garage, men and service station
employees at the intersection where
the accident occurred were unable im
: mediately to free the two men from
| the wreckage. Hundreds of persons
1 stopped at the scene and some rend
| ered assistance as needed in remov
| ing the contents of the van in an es
-1 fort to free the two injured men.
' Jordan and Mitchell arc originally
from Conway, but more recently have
been living in Norfolk, where they
were employed by the transfer con
cern that owned the truck. Clinton
Neal, who works at the service sta
tion at the intersection of the high
way where the wreck occurred,, the
accident was apparently caused by a
wheel on the truck locking.

Relief Wage Pay
Puts PWA in Jam

on projects will take advantage of the
low rates —and that a. national scan
dal will result.
The announcement oA the PWA
wage schedule came at an unfortu
nate time for senators supporting the
President on the. bonus issue. The
bonus group say, in effect: “See—un
less the Senate acts, the President will
not. e talked you out or the prevail
ing wage amendment but he will not
talk us out of a bonus."
The weakness of the bonus argu
ment lies in the {fact that, it is tied
up with inflation; which many per
sons fear. A bonus could win now,, if
it were a. straight bonus! collected by
taxes. \' ' • ; i
QUEER ANGLES
The entire relief setup—except as
it applies to Secretary of the Interior
Harold L. Ickes—is being viewed with
alarm now by many liberals.
There have been some peculiar de
cisions, some queer allotments (such
as 30 million dollars for a plant to
harness the tides in northeastern
maine).
Public relief work factories were
closed summarily in Ohio, yet busi
ness generally was reaping the bene
fit.. The principle, however, was deem
cd “wrong.” But now work is let to
contractors, who make ap rofit. while
workers arc hired on new projects,
some of doubtful value, at what relief
officials say is less than subsistence
wage.
Thus, useful work is stopped, pur
chasing power again is lowered, work
not. so useful is begun and men are
rehired at extremely low wages be
cause they are unfortunate enough to
be the victims of a broken down eco
nomic system.
When anybody asks the. adminis
tration in Washington why, there is
no response.

M 0 CRONS PLANTED
Rains Have Enabled Farm
ers To Put In Most of
Plants for Season
Most of the tobacco crop in this
section had been planted for the 1935
season as the week ended todaj\ and
the crop was getting off to a very
good start* according to observers
who have had occasion to get about
a good deal in the past few days.
Those farmers who had been wait
ing for more rain (before sticking the.
last of their plants in the growing
fields have had an abundance, of soak
ing rain during the week. Daj r s with
mild temperature and some sunshine
have been experienced, and today was
almost an ideal IMiajr day, with the
weather warmer and a bright sun
shining after two days of generous
showers.
Plants have been available in abun
dance, and there has been no com
plaint on that ground. Most of them
have been pulled from the seedbeds
in good condition, and it. has (been pos
sible this week to transplant them in.
to the growing fields without the
necessity of watering them as they
were set. Moreover, the fact that the
rain has been followed bj r sunshine
and mild temperatures has given the
young plants a chance to begin to take
root without excessive Tiot. weather
and a baking sun.
The outlook is unusually gopd at
this time for the tobacco season, and
if weather conditions continue favor
able through the month or June, mid
summer should see a stand of tobacco
throughout this countjf and section
that bids fair to rival, if not even ex
ceed, that, of 1934 in quality. It will i
fre larger bj' reason of the Increased I
acreage of 15 percent allowed unde

convincing.
EXPORTS DWINDLE
In the first place, North American
farm exports to Europe (Latin Amer
ica is itself so largely agricultural
that it never did import much of that
class of commodities) have declined
heavilj r since AAA came into exis
tence; not that they had been any too
flourishing for some time before then.
Moreover, the demand
(such as it. is) for North American
manufactured goods has been much
better sustained than its demand for
farm stuff.
Naturally, too.
The Latin Americans have hardly
any manufactured goods to offer;
they are producers of raw materials,
not factory made articles.
BUY MORE IN U. S.
“11l blows the wind,” as previously
remarked, “that profits nobody.”
Brazilian, Argentina, and other La
tin American basic producers have so
benefitted at. the expense of North
American basic producers that, feel
ing increasingly prosperous, they have
been buying more North American
manufactured products.
Yes, (there has been an increase in
North American sales, to Latin Amer
ica, of manufactured goods; U has*
tended to modify our poor showing
as to exports in general.
It_beats all how everything seems
to work out to the advantage of the
Yankee manufacturer—at the expense
of the Yankee farmer.
