Neighbors Still Talking Of >
Miraculous Escape, But
Boy Refuses To Talk
AYS HE WAS UNAFRAID
By BIGNALL JONES
James Johnson, six-year-old col- '
red boy of near Warren Plains,
;11 headfirst into a well a few days
20. He was pulled out a few mo- 1
icnts after by his father, Joe Johnjn,
employee of the" Warrenton
ox & Lumber Co. James was not
urt.
The neighbors are still talking
bout the boys miraculous escape,
ut James is silent in seven langu- 1
ges. At least he was on Sunday 1
[ternoon when I called at his home '
> find out about the accident.
ames is not only the most silent 1
erson I ever attempted to inter- ;
iew. He is also the highest priced
rator I have encountered. Other
lethods tailing, I found eight cents
I loose change in my pocket. This
onation brought forth two words,
hey were "Nah Suh."
James came across the yard as I
iitered upon his father's domain.
!e yelled to his mother that someady
was there. His mother was i
iking a bath and couldn't come j
ut. She shouted to me that the j
ttle boy was named James and j
lat he was the one that fell in (
re well. I walked toward James. ,
te beat a hasty retreat. I spoke ]
> him. He remained silent. He was
II one side of the rather small \
ouse and I was on the other, when ,
saw a young colored woman on ]
re porch of a nearby dwelling. I ;
alked over towards her with James j
illowing at a distance. Finally ne ,
ime close enough for me to give <
im a nickel and three coppers.
The colored girl said James fell ]
lto the well and that somebody ,
..n?Ua 4-Ua* i*
uiicu niiii uui/, one gucaacu mcii/ it (
as his father. She wasn't at home \
lat day. She told me the boy was ?
ix years old.
"This boy is named James John- |
jn?" I asked. Receiving- an affir- \
lative reply, I asked was his father
amed Joe Johnson? "That's what
is mamma says," she blandly relied.
I smiled at this reply. She bean
to giggle. I walked over and
joked down into the well. It was
bout 20 feet deep. James was busy
unting for some of his money that
e had dropped through a crack
a the floor.
Walking back to James I asked
lim did the fall scare him. He reilied,
"Naw Suh." That was his
nly contribution to the conversaion.
The girl said that you couldn't
et him to go near the well since
le fell in.
Across the road Ben Davis and
lis wife, Adeline, were sitting in the
hade of the house eating waternelon.
I walked over fn search of
urther information. Several of the
Davis children came up. They had

duced this when I notice a seed
plastered to the skin of one of the
boys about six inches below his
chin.
Adeline said that she saw James
fall in the well. She told me how
It happened. According to her account,
the boy was drawing water,
when he pitched headfirst into the
well. Lucinda was kinder sick, so
she called her husband who was
working in an outhouse. The boy
was pretty brave, she said. She
heard him call to his uncle,
''Richard, come and get me; ram
In the well."
Joe Johnson saw his son fall in
the well. He lowered the well bucket.
James grabbed a hold and was
pulled out.
Adeline Davis said he was wet as
a drowned rat and that a little
later in the day when her husband
went to draw a bucket of water
from the well, the water was filled
with mud stirred up by James in
his plunge.
Wheat Plan Lowers
Grain Gamble Odds
Growers who sign contracts under
the national wheat adjustment
program are removing some of the
gamble in wheat farming, according
to John W. Goodman, district
agent in charge of the wheat reduction
campaign in North Carolina.
"We ask the contracting farmer
to reduce acreage and meet certain
Dther requirements," says Goodman,
"and in return ne receives adjustment
payments which assure a
parity return on the part of his'
crop which is covered by the processing
taxes.
"The farmer who stays out of the
plan is under no regulations or
compulsion, but neither has he any
jf the protection or stabilizing fea;ures
offered in the wheat plan. In
short, he takes greater chances.
"The plan is a three-year program,
but those growers who intend
to take part are signing contracts
this year for the whole
period."
"It is important to remember,"
continued Mr. Goodman, "that the
wheat plan guarantees to the contracting
farmer a parity price, or
fair buying power ror that portion
of his crop that is destined to be
used for human consumption in
the United States. If the world
wheat prices should be low as a
result of world-wide competition for
export markets, the farmer who is
under the plan would have protection,
while the farmer who stays
out might face low world market
prices for his grain without the
protection of the adjustment payments.
If the prices of things farmers
buy are on a higher level will
still give wheat full parity purchasing
power.
"The wheat plan tends to stabilize
the wheat business and places
the farmer who participates in it

FORCE ATTENTIONS

see where there was any room for
improvement. The boys then began
cursing. One whipped out a razor
and the other pulled a pistol as
they caught her by the arms and
said if they did not take her home
they were going to kill her. I warned
the boys, strangers they were,
that they were going to get into
trouble if they did not put up tneir
weapons and behave themselves and
one of them replieu that he wasn't
scared of trouble."
When asked by one of the defendants
if he saw him with a
weapon, Pike replied: "Sho I seen
you with a weapon. It was a moonlight
night and I took dead aim at
it." Another negro was placed on
the stand and his testimony was
substantially the same as that given
by Janet Lee, her mother* and
Pike. Judge Taylor said 18 months
on the roads.
Nelson McClown was found guilty
of stealing chickens and sentenced
to the roads for four months. Evidence
disclosed that the negro had
five chickens which he sold to
Walter Parrish for 75 cents. Parrish
testified that the negro came
to his home about 12 o'clock at
night and attempted to sell him
the fowls. He said that he did not
have the money required for the
transaction and did not make a
purchase at that time, but later he
commented to Earle Kinsey about
the matter and Mr. Kinsey, who
had been missing some chickens,
gave him the 75c to buy McClowns
chickens so he could see if they
were his. Mr. Kinsey found that
the chickens had not been taken
from his coop, as did several other
people around the neighborhood

tified the chickens as his property.
McClown said that he bought the
chickens from another man for 75
cents and thought he would make
some money off them. Instead, he
received a four months sentence
to the roads.
George Morris, young negro, was
found guilty of possessing and
transporting whiskey. Sheriff Pinnell
and Deputy Robertson testified
that they became suspicious of
Morris' actions and followed him
up the stairs in the building over
the postoffice where they made a
search and found a small quantity
of whiskey. Morris plead guilty to
the charge testifying that he was
merely an agent for another person.
He was let off with court costs
and a two year good behavior sentence.
O. E. Edwards was found not i
guilty of assaulting P. M. Nichol-1
son witn a deadly weapon and inflicting
serious injuries. Evidence
revealed that Edwards and Nicholson
had had some trouble and that
Nicholson attempted to remove Edwards
from the automobile of J.
W. Myiick at Vaughan. When
Nicholson and several others came
to the car of Myrick after Edwards
he pulled a knife and cut Nicholson
on the arm.
MACON DELEGATION
