Holton Cottage I
Burns at Piedmont
The attractive cottage of Mrs.
Eugene Holton burned at Pied-j
mont Springs Tuesday of last
week. As the building was unten-|
anted, and had nit been occupied
since last summer, the cause oi
the fire is a mystery. One theory
is that thievos had entered the
building and while in the search
for valuables, dropped lighted
i
matches, the rooms being darken-'
ed.
It is not known whether or nof
the loss, probably $1500.00, wa? l
covered by insurance.
This cottage, which was erected;
by the late J. C. Buxton some 40 j
years ago, was one of the most |
attractive summer homes at Pied- j
mont.

BANK DEPOSITS
j NOW GUARANTEEDj
MONEY MAY COME OUT OF!
COVER, IT WILL BE SAFE
I IN YOUR HOME BANK, SAFE I
AS THE U. S. GOVERNMENT
STATE PLANTERS EX
PERIENCES MARKED IN
CREASE IN DEPOSITS.
The big bank of the city used
| to have it on the little bank of the
! country, because big banks made'
the public believe they were safer.
! But this advantage of the big
bank no longer exists, because of
Federal guarantee of deposits |
>
; now in effect in North Carolina.
! Our Stokes County bank, the
State Planters, has qualified for^
insurance, and your money and
deposit in this institution, at least
| I
| up to $2,500.00, are as safe as a
Federal reserve note.
After next July all deposits
■
will be insured.
I I
I It is estimated that 97 per
cent of the nation's deposits will
be protected by the insurance of
I
deposits up to $2500. And this in
surance of deposits becomes an
added strength to the banks as it
builds up confidence of the depon-!
itors and with this insurance
there would be no cause for alarm
over the safety of the money. j
| With the safety of funds pro-;
vided by the bank insurance
i
there is now no excuse for hoard
i
ing of money about one's prem-.
ises. Bankers report a large num-,
ber of new savings accounts open-!
Ed in the banks of the country
since Tuesday morning and as tho
public comes to realize the pro
tection afforded by this insurance
more money will be brought from
its hiding place and put into the
banks to again get into the na
tion's stream of money circulation.
! The State Planters bank hasj
already received a marked in- j
crease in its deposits. While this
; institution had no trouble quali
fying for insurance under the
strict requirements of the govern-!
ment, yet the public naturally.
| showed its reaction to the won-1
derful new law which puts the
stamp bf the government on
finances.

TOBACCO STILL
SELLING GOOD
PRICES OX ALL MARKETS
MAINTAIN PRE - HOLIDAY
AVERAGES OR BETTER
LOWER GRADES ARE NOW
COMING IN, AS CHOICE OF,
CROP HAS BEEN SOLD.
The best of the 1933 crop of to
bacco has been sold, and now the
lesser grades are coming in.
However proportionately, the
pre-holiday averages are being,
maintained on all markets, if not(
better prices. J
From the Winston-Salem mar**
ket on Monday, we have this rej'j
port: j
With a half million pounds •»,
the golden weed on the floors,j
the Winston-Salem auction leaf
tobacco market opened Monday
■ i
morning for the "second half" of
the season after having been clos
ed since December 15 for the!
I
Christmas and New Year
The average is holding up well{
being approximately the same
before the close for the holidayi'
I
averaging around 14 or 15 cents;
i
per pound.
All buying companies are repr
resented on the market just as
during the "first half" of the sea
son and all warehouse forces ar«
intact, every convenience being,
given for the tobacco growers just
as was given prior to the holiday
closings.
It is estimated that about two
thirds of the crop has been sold
but no estimate is given of the
lime that the market will closs.
It will remain open to give the'
growers every chance to market
all the leaf they have on hand
and the same complete service
will be cleaned out Monday, sales
being able to take care of all leaf
on hand. Another large poundage
is expected for Tuesday. The to
bacco on the market is composed
of both leaf and smoking grades.
It is estimated that about three
fourths of the Stokes crop has
been marketed.
From Reidsville, Oxford, Bur
lington, South Boston and Dan
ville, also from other North Car-j
olina and Virginia Markets, re-'
ports indicate that the price is j
being held up and that every
sign points to the continuation of
the "parity" prices prevailing be
fore the Christmas holidays.

AFFAIR OCCURRED IN PAT
RICK COUNTY.
Roy Cook, a Westfield young
man, is in jail at Stuart, Va.,
[ charged with the murder of Mose
j Owens in Patrick County last.
? week. Owens was 22 years of age,!
, and also lived at Westfield, so

j The affair occurred just over
the line in Patrick county, Va.,
Owens after receiving a shot in
i. . I
the head, died on the way to the
hospital.
| i
Cook went to the police station
( in Mount Airy, soon after the
shooting, and claimed that Owens
•i 1
I killed himself. During this time
Owens was carried to the hospital,
i
J on a truck, but died enroute. An
i ,
examination of the wound showed
that the pistol shot entered the
left side of the head and emerged
tbelow the right ear in such a
manner as to cause doubt that
•
js»e shot was self-inflicted.
r' Patrick officers were notified
,1M ' - ■ j
and went to Pilot Mountain where
an inquest was held. The verdict
"murder" was rendered, so Cook

BE COUNTED OUT. INSTRI.'C
i TIONS BY MRS. DOLLY DOD-I
SON, MANAGER, AT WAL
NUT COVE. !
I
Mrs. Dolly F. Dodson, manager
of the U. S. Re-employment of
fice at Walnut Cove, has received
special instructions from the
State headquarters at Raleigh to
re-register all applicants for CWA
jobs who registered in the re
j employment ollice prior to Janu
ary 1, 1934.
In full, this means that any
j man or woman who has registered
with the office for work before the
first of January, must report
immediately to the re-employment
office and have their applications
! renewed. It will not be necessary
however, to have a complete
registration blank filled out, but
will necessiate having their card,
renewed. i
i Especial attention is called for
those registered with the re-eni
ployment office to report as soon
as possible, if they wish their
applications to be considered by
the County Committee when
choosing men for new projects.
Unless those who have regis-1
tered with the office for employ
ment report to have their ap
-1 plications renewed, it will prob
ably mean the cancellation of
those applications, or simply be
the aplicant's answer to the ques
tion, "Are you now in any man
ner employed ?"
j See to this without fail, if you
wish your application to be in the
list for jobs on future projects.
! To make the re-registration o:'
the several hundred applications
on file more simple, the manager,
Mrs. Dodson, requests applicants
to get the renewal of their ap
plications over in the shortest
time possible.

Capt. Charles D. Farmer said

TOBACCO SIGN-UP
BIG SUCCESS
I
IN THE STATE THE CAM
PAIGN WENT OVER FULLY
NINETY PEIt CENT— KIBBY
SAYS STOKES C O M E S
ACROSS.
I
j
! A dispatch from Raleigh says
that fully 90 per cent of North
Carolina's flue cured tobacco
growers have signed acreage re
duction contracts for 1934 and
the sign-up drive is not lagging.
The figures are furnished by E.
Y. Floyd, state campaign direc
tor.
Floyd issued a statement in an
swer to reports that not more
than 70 per cent of the farmers
have signed contracts and that
drastic action may be necessary
to control weed production this
year.
He also said that the reduction,
in acreage of 30 per cent will be
accompanied by a 30 per cent re
duction in poundage. The con
tracts specify that a grower may
now market more than 70 per
cent of the average poundage sold
during the years by which was
figured the overage base acreage,
he pointed out.
j Reports have been circulated,
| Floyd said, that the 30 per cent
acreage reduction would result in
only a 17 per cent reduction in ac
tual production, since farmer?
would reserve their most fertile
fields for cultivation.
Definite figures on the exact
number of contracts signed have
not been compiled yet, the direc
tor declared. He said he has in
structed the various county
agents to send him immediate re
ports on the status on the cam
paign in their counties and that
total figures for the state will be
announced shortly.
I "It is true that the campaign
has not made the headway that
we at first expected," he added,
"for we had hoped to complete
the sign-up in December. But it
is an exaggeration to say at this
date that the drive is lagging far
behind."
In Stokes County, Agent Kirby,
who has been pushing the sign
up drive, says Stokes will come
across in fine shape.
