Capital Observations
(Special Cerreapemience)
Washington, Nov. 14. There is in
evidence here today a touch of the
"beautiful snow," the first of the
season. With ' one raised in the
South the"hope arises lhat it rtiight
be the last. It is a nuisance, and to
the poorer classes, a Hardship.
? .
In the voting last Tuesday the necessary
number of states was reached
to insure the removal, of the
eighteenth amendment from the constitution
of the United States, Although
nothing will be accomplished
thereby, the proponents of national
piyhibitioitSfin the two Carolinas did
themselves proud by ^carrying each
state against repeal. This situation
is liable to cause a revival of an old
historic remark, familiar to many,
but par haps not to all of the readers
of this paper, so that it may bear
'repetition here. As the tale goes,
at a conference between the executives
of the two states mentioned,
lengthy discussion was indulged in
regarding the issues under consideration,
and- nearing the conclusion the
Governor of South Carolina, summarizing
his contentions in an exhaustive,
manner indicated that it was time for
the Governor of North Carolina to
finally express his opinion, '^bchatter,
having become weary, did soro
the effect that he considered it "a
d d long time between drinks."

In New York City last week the
contest for mayor resulted in the
election of a Republican who also had
the fusion endorsement, whatever
that may mean. This result was insured
by the entry of an independent
Democratic ticked, calling itself
the "nevV deal," and asking support
as an cndorsemeift of the national administration.
it seems strange for
[bolters, to seek endorsement of anybody
except themselves.
* * *
It is stated by a high legal'authdrjity
that the overwhelming weight of
decisions of the. United States Supreme
Court in the past is against
the constitutionality of the national
recovery art. It may he upheld, in
case it reaches the highest court, in
i-view of the fact that it is emergency
legislation, authorized for onljf two
years, and which may be terminated
within a shorter length of time, at
the discretion of the President or
congress. It is believed also that
consideration will be given to the fact
that the needs and condition of the
country required extraordinary laws.
In ease of an adverse decision by the
Supremo Court, there would still be
an effective method in the hands of
the President and the Democratic
Congress, by means of a reorganization
of the Court, with ;i view of a
reversal of the opinion. Five of the
nine justices are now past seventy
and a law could be passed making retirement
compulsory at that age.
That would open the way for the appointment
of now members, known to
he liberal and in sympathy with the
times. Such a method would he open
to criticism, and doubtless would be
adopted only as a lust resort. However.
President Roosevelt has the
sentiment of the nation behind him
and would not be disposed to tolerate
a half in his ' efforts for recovery.
Shortly after the Civil War the Republican
party resorted to a somewhat
similar method, by enlarging
the CoOrt, so as to secure desired
decisions.
The elections held last -week resulted
in no very special significance.
On the whole the Democrats met with
more successes than defeats, and in
no instance is there any display of a
rebuff to President Roosevelt. In
Pittsburgh and in the rock-ribbed Republican
city of Philadelphia Democratic
mayors were elected for the
first time in a long numboi of ycais.
In the last named city, with perhapthe
ino-t corrupt municipal government

Washington To Make
Option Cotton Loans
Washington, Nov. 12.?Farm o(Ti-^
cialt have decided to make loans on
cotton on vyhich options wero 'given
farmers as part of their benefit payments
for plowing up more than 10,000,000
.acres oC their growing crop
last summer.
It was disclosed tonight that a
tentative commitment of $37,000,000
from the Reconstruction corporation
had been arranged.
The loans will be made through the
Commodity Credit corporation.' HejLaUs
of the plan arfcfcexpected to bo
completed' within .Urn days, but it is
intended to make possible loans of
four cents a pound on more than
2/200,000 bales.
This is the third of the ^lajor farm
loan programs being arranged through
the .Commodity corporation, ,the newest
of the government's financial
agencies. It is now making loans of
10 cents a pound on actual cotton held
by farmers and will soon begin making
loans of 45 cents a bushel on
corn.
The cotton loan prpgram now under
way involves a potential volume
of $300,000,000, while the corn program
Involves about $200,000,006.
In the case of both cotton and corn
loans, the borrowers are required to
join the government's production
control campaign. Government officials
assert that, with production control,
higher prices in the future are
"certain" and that the loans are secure.
,
They regard this loan program -as
being in a different category from
the farm board's stabilization efforts,
in which the board acquired a large
amount of cotton and wheat in its
price-pegging, efforts. The board bad
no means of limiting production.
When the government's cotton
plow-up campaign was started, farmers
were offered two methods of
pa y metft.
Ofic was a flat rental for the land
taken out of cultivation with rate of
payments varying according to post
yields of the land. The second was
a lower rental plus an option on government
cotton equal to the amount
of the estimated yield of the land
put to the plow. The farmer obtaining,
an option was credited with having
paid six cents , a pound for it.'
If cotton represented by the option
evi ntually was sold at a figure above
six cents, that margin would represent
a profit to the farmer. .Mere
than half the farmers joining itr-t-he
plan elected the combination optionrental
method of payment, with 'the
volume of options totaling more than
2.200.000 hales.
Delivery of the options has been
withheld by farm officials, who have
nearly completed payment of $111,000.000
in cash rentals to faimeis
joining in their program. As a result
of nori-deilvery, the farmers have
had no opportunity to exercise them.
Under the new loan plan expectations
are that few will exercise their
options if they can obtain a loan of
four cents a pound while cotton is
soiling below tefr cents at market.
Should cotton continue to sell below
ten cents, the farmer making a loan
on his option would be realizing four
cents a pound or the same amount
as he would if he ordered his option
cotton sold at 10 cents a pound and
was able to get it. <
It was reported tonight that il the
Reconstruction corporation's tentative
commitment of $*7,000,000 was not
sufficient, the Commodity corporation
would seek additional funds.
One.? young woman and 22 young
men took the examination for admission
to the South Carolina bar this
week, at Columbia. One of the applicants
was a blind man and another
was a negro.

Man Kills Daughter;
Then Takes Own Life
Langley, Nov, 14.?A 40-year-old
textile worker, ran amuck here this
afternoon, fatally wounded his 18year-old
daughter as she tied from
their home, and then shot and killed
himself. .
State constables fourtd the body of
the man, ,W. S. Chesteine, lying inside
the house after they had hurled
two tear gas bombs within, thinking
that he was still alive.
The slain girl, Mavis, eldest child
of the family, was shot several times.
A younger daughter escaped by hiding
behind an oak tree. Two sons
were also wounded as they ran from
the house.
One of them, shot through the abdomen,
was not expected to recover,
while the other was not in a serious
condition. The t\yo boys were taken
to a hospital in Augusta, Ga.
Coroner J. T. Tarver said tonight
an inquest would not be necessary.
Chesteine's wife, who also works
in a local mill, was at work when
the shooting occurred.
Neighbors, moused by screams and
the sound yt pis|ql shots coming from
the Chesteine home, said they saw
Chesteine, standing on the porch, fire
at ,<he children as they dashed from
the house.
State constables hurled tear gas
bombs into the house before entering
in an attempt to subdue the
killer. >
But when only silence came ^rom
within, they went inside and found
Chesteine's body lying 011 the floor,
and his pistol a few feet away.
Three firemen were hurt when fire
destroyed a fertilizer plant and other
property at Norfolk, Va., with a $.'50,*
000 property loss.
