The News and Observer from Raleigh, North Carolina • 10

SATURDAY MORNING, VIEWS -ANDObservations Democrat, expect to vote "I am a the Democratic ticket in 1932 as voted it for 25 years, but have I know that I have no illusions; going to vote for a candidate by my who was agreed upon visible bosses many months ago; that the platform to be and I know adopted by my convention will contain startlingly or hopefur," nothing, O. editor of The Elizabeth City Independent, raising a lot of sand "They are here about 1932 automobile licenses, but over in Virginia they have been much slower to purchase in North Carolina," obthem than served Clyde E. Hornaday, Raleigh real estate man. "I have just returned from an automobile trip to Richmond and in block there I counted eight old one and three new ones and there tags was just as high, or higher, percentage of old tags everywhere I went in Virginia." "Dr. J.

A. Dickey, an economist from Washington speaking before the conference of agricultural work ers and farmers at Fayetteville yesterday, said the farmer who had of food and feed on hand a supply was in the best condition of any business or industrial worker," said F. H. Jeter yesterday. "He illustrated his point of view with the tale of the farmer who had been giving one of his town business friends a good ham every winter.

This friend, got so finally that he would the porter and tell him to take the ham down to the house when he had time. Took the gift as 8 matter of course. This however, the farmer came to town with a basket of chitterlings and half the business men in town followed him down the street," Dr. "Dickey said." "I observe that at the Asheville tobacco market the word has been sent abroad that tobacco there is averaging 11 cents per pound," says Paul Jones, editor of the Tarboro Southerner. "From experiences in Eastern North Carolina these alleged averages are in many cases most misleading, as it has been reported that the low prices of tobacco sold on the open market are not taken into consideration in making up the general average.

There are mighty few farmers in our county that this season have averaged more than six cents on the whole. When most any farmer up -his entire crop sold on averages, he will find that his averages are low, but just why this propaganda to boost prices when these same prices are below the cost of production is beyond our understanding, but all the same it is being done if many of our informants: are telling the truth." "Nothing Congress can do to promote prosperity is more important than stabilizing the value of the dollar at average levels of the decade 1920-30, so that the farmers of America (and all other citizens) can pay their debts with money of the same value as that prevailing when the debts were created," says Clarence Poe. "It is not merely the burden of debt, but the excess and extra burden of debt which has been added through the unjust increase in the value of money--it is this which is making any economic recovery impossible. If the people could only pay debts on the basis of commodity values prevailing when the debts were made, they would not only pull through, but the mere prospect this result would give a new confidence that would itself go far torestoring prosperity. The American Farm Bureau, the Grange and the National Farmers' Union are all united in this demand for stabilizing the value of the dollar on the 1926 level, which is practically the average level of 1920-30.

There are several ways whereby this may be accomplished. As Samuel Crowther wrote in the Saturday Evening Post of December 5: "Prices can be kept at a reasonably steady level a level of sound prosperity. The Macmillan Commission, made up of the foremost British financial experts, agrees that this can be done. The foremost economists likewise agree. More than that, it was actually done in 1921 and ended that depression.

The Federal Reserve Banks have the inherent power to control the price level. They have hesitated to assume the great "It would seem obvious that Congress should at once compel the Federal Reserve System to abandon its hesitation and assume a task it was created to perform. International action to deal with the silver problem also seems a necessity. And in the long run, as Dr. Irving Fisher so ably advocates, the value of the dollar itself must be based on the standard purchasng power of a dolJar throughout the decade 1920-30, br on some other basis which will prevent "the changes in the level of prices which is the main secret of social as the Macmillan Commission itself declared."

Poole, aged Cutler street grocer, over the head with a pistol, an unidentified white man robbed Poole's night of around $7 and extorealast Police were searching for the man and a Negro accomplice who was with him in the robbery. It was around 7 o'clock, Mr. Poole told officers, when the white man and Negro came into his store, the Negro calling for a package of cigarettes. As he was waiting on the man, the white man placed the muzzle of a pistol in his side and ordered him to hold his hands up. Poole said that he turned quickly and attempted to kick the pistol from the man's hand.

The white man then struck him on the head, knocking him unconscious. The Negro delivery boy returned from a trip and found Poole on the floor of the store. He called police at once. Poole said he had around $7 in the cash register. The grocer was taken to Rex Hospital, where several stitches were required to saw up a head wound.

EXECUTED FOR KILLING CHILD Asbury Respus, Guilford Murderer, Electrocuted; Confessed Eight Murders A little, old, hare-brained Negro man yesterday paid with his life 1 in North Carolina's electric chair for beating to death Vera Leonard, 9- year-old school girl of Guilford county. The final scene in the career of Asbury Respus, 56, was enacted before a crowd that was composed largely of people from Guilford county, including Deputy Sheriff Murray Benbow, who tracked down and arrested Respus, and S. C. Deskins, principal of the Sumner township school to which the little Leonard girl had started when she was put to death.

Respus' entrance into the death chamber was as calm as his narration to newspaper men of how he slaughtered eight people in a career of crime that stretched over a period of eight years. Accompanied by spiritual advisers of his own race, the doomed man walked to the seat of death chanting STANDARD RATING SCALE for Electric Refrigeration Is the refrigerator manufactured by a reliable company with proper experience in the electric refrigeration field?

I'd kill and run." Respus was sentenced in 1912 to fifteen years in the penitentiary for murdering Ed Wynne, a Negro, who, according to Respus' memory, fourth victim. Within six months he was transferred to the criminal insane ward at State Hospital. He escaped in 1916 after returning to a prison camp. The doomed man was ready to die, "If Governor Gardner was to free me today," he told guards as they brought him a breakfast of sardines and crackers, his favorite delicacy, "I would tell him I would rather die in the electric chair." His body lay unclaimed in morgue last night..
