Washington. — Word has reached Washington from many quarters that bidding more extravagant than ever before is about to start for the honor of entertaining the 1928 national con ventions. As often as the information leaks out in one qufrter that San Francisco is prepared to offer $160,000 to either party some other city raises the.ante Los Angeles and Seattle, for example, are scoffing at San Francsico’s purse and talking of $200,000.

The Republicans have never been quite as responsive to money con siderations as the Democrats; they have not had to be. At that, this flashing of certified checks before the eyes of national committeemen may be less influential in determining convention selections than the American farmer. Chambers of commerce and citizens’ committees with their fine new auditoriums may be shunted a^ide in favor of interests that control or pretend to control vast blocks of votes. Respected Colored Citizen Passes Aunt Leah Simpson* one of Clinton’s most faithful and beloved colored citi zens, passed away on Monday after being in declining health for several months. Her funeral was held Tues day afternoon at Friendship church and attended by a large crowd of sor rowing friends. Aunt Leah, as she was known by white And colored alike, was about eighty years bid and had lived in this community all her life. She was a member of the .“old school” of devoted and loyal darkies of the ’60’s, and lived a life above reproach. She was an out standing example of honesty, kind and considerate of others; she loved chil dren and was faithful in all relations of life. Hundreds of friends will learn with profound sorrow of the passing of this highly respected and faithful old Christian darkey.

KIRBY’S GROCERY GASTONIA, N. C. : seed and to improve cottonseed products.” “The price of cottonseed, as of ev erything else, is regulated entirely by the demand and this demand is, of course, created by the market for cot tonseed products. It matters not how- large nor how small the -crop of cot- 1 ton may be, the price of seed is regu- 1 lated by the ability of the oil mills and the refiners to dispose of their pro ducts. Therefore, in attempting to ex tend the uses of seed, the association is benefitting the farmer directly and through him the entire South. “The association is constantly ren dering other services from which the J cotton growers derive benefit as well j as its own members,” said Senator i Benet. “A concrete example was our being able last fall to secure the allo cation of ships to exporters of our products,” he said. “The ability to get ships was seri ously depressing the price of meal. With the biggest crop in history in ■ sight and with all chance of exporting ; any meal apparently removed, we saw that the stiuation was extremely se rious for the mills and for the farmer. I went to Washington and after tak ing the matter up with Mr. Andrews, the assistant director of traffic of the j shipping board, Gen. Dalton, the head < of the shipping board, Secretary Jar- j dine and Secretary Hoover,* the ships! were allocated and also a cut made in the rates that enabled us to ship meal and cake and to successfully compete with other feed products in the Unit-1 ed Kingdom and continental ports. The i allocation of ships was almost imme diately followed by a rise in the price | of meal.” the quality of quarter? for the national commit teemen and perhaps traveling expen- "ses for them. As time goes on cities put higher and higher value upon the privilege of, entertaining a national convention. In ( WHAT DO P. S.
