THE RECORD is Your Paper—Are You its Friend? VOLUME I. NO. 12 OPENING DAY LARGEST EVER IN HISTORY __ Large Crowds Invade Zebulon on Tobacco Sales Opening Sales Start Out With a Rush and Every body gets Busy —. Tuesday evening there was a heavy electrical storm through this section, accompanied with a heavy down-pour Wednesday morning. It looked as though the storm would interfere with the tobacco opening on Wednesday. But in the early evening the clouds passed away ard the moon shone out, j giving evidence of fa.r weather for Tuesday. The morning came with a clear sky, j arc! from early morning wagons and automobiles came into the town from all sections loaded with tobacco. It was the opening day for the sale of leaf tobacco at auction. The warehouses were filled to over flow, many wagons and autos wait ing for available space to unload dur ing the morning. The Center Brick warehouse started the sales. Auctioneer Turner, before begin ning the sales, announced that the j women of the First Baptist church j would serve barbecue to all those that , wanted to partake of it. They were ! located in the building next to the | warehouse. The first pile of tobacco auctoned off was 144 pounds, owned by Clias. Watkins. The price was 12 cents per pound. Thousands of people were on the j streets and in the warehouses. Wiggs Warehouse was filled to over flow, and the second sale was at this ; warehouse during the afternoon. The prices paid were considered fair by some, and by others it seem ed the price was small. However, considering that the sale was made up of considerable amount | of primings, which never brings a high price, the good tobacco bringing a fair price. The warehousemen had been work ing from the early morning, and con tinued until If.to in the afternoon. There was not very much tobacco received at the Co-op. receiving ware house on Wednesday, but we were in formed that the advance was con sidered good—the average advance price being around 12 cents per pound, we were told by the man in charge at the warehouse. On the Zebulon market Wednesday, there was handled something like 200,000 pounds at an average of 17 cents per pound. There was a block sale at the Wiggs Warehouse, the entire morning and part of the evening devoted to the sale of tobacco on the Center Brick Warehouse floor. Between 7,000,000 and 8,000,000 pounds of tobacco were handled in the busines of the opening day of the markets in the bright leaf belt in Eastern North Carolina on Tuesday, bringing an average of about 16 cents per pound for an aggregate value of the day’s sales at more than $1,250,- 000. All records for opening days’ sales were broken in several of the larger markets, reports say. Sales reported unofficially on Tues day night follows: Wilson, 1,700,000 at 16c.

THE ZEBULON RECORD AN ACCIDENT AT REIDSVILLE, N. C. Crossing Crash Take a Toll of Five Lives Sunday Evening The Carter street grade crossing just north of the passenger station at Reidsville, N. C., where in the past several fatalities have occurred, was literally turned into a slaughter pen | about 7 o’clock Sunday night when Southern Railway passenger train, No. 35, rounding the curse at a rap'd rate of speed at that point crashed into an automobile in which were rid ing four women and one man. Every member of the automobile party was killed. The dead are: Jack Hilliard Carter, age 31, of! New York, and Reidsville. Mrs. Eugene Irvin, age 45, wife of !

Oliver, widow of I John T. Oliver, of Reidsville. Mrs. Nina Johnson Cone, of New York, and late of Asheville, and cou sin of Mrs. Manton Oliver.

MOST OF STATE I SCHOOLS OPENED THE PAST WEEK Approximately 809,- j 000 Children in Pub lic Schools. The next few days will find more tin n 800,000 public school children en rolled in North Carolina schools, and of this number about 25,000 will be !in Wake County. Last year’s enroll- I ment was approximately 793,000 Sup • l intendent A. T. Allen states, and the I enrollment figures have been cl.mbing ' at the rate of about 20,000 per year. Mr. Allen points ou that the nor -1 ma! rate of increase would carry the | enrollment figures this year to 83 3,- i 000, including both grammar grades and high schools. The enrollment in Raleigh alone is expected to be from 6,800 to 7,000, Superintendent H. F. Srygley, of Ral eigh, says. J. C. Lockhart, superin tendent of Wake county schools, re ports an enrollment of over 15,000 last year in the schools, while a ma terial increase is expected this year. Around 220,000 negroes are expect ed to enroll in the public schools, ac cording to an estimate made by N. C. Newbold, State superintendent of ne gro education. Newbold estimates that there are in round numbers 300,- 000 negroes of school age in the State, and that around 75 per cent of these will be enrolled in the publ.c schools. A large proportion of the schools opened this week. j Wakeloon School opens next Mon j day, the 7th. Mr. Allen states that throughout the State practically all the eight and nine months schools will be under way by October 1, and probably every school in the State will be in opera tion by November 1. In the western section of the State, many schools have been in session for some weeks. This is in order that they may recess in October and November that the children may help in harvesting the crops. In command of this army of school hildren numbering nearly a million, there will be approximately 19,000 teachers. The State as a whole spends approximately $22,000,000 per pear on her entire school system, Mr. Allen stated, and has in return a much mere i . fticient system than many states who ’ -pend mare money and employ more 1 teachers.

All patrons and friends of the school are cordially invited to attend the opening exer cises at nine o’clock Monday morning. Parents are urged to start their chil dren on the first day. On this day pu pils will be classified and an important announcements will be made which every child who will be in school this session should hear. If there are some who must stop out later on to help gather the crops they should enter on the first day any way and attend as long as possible. It is especially important that ; children entering for the first t.m< i should be present on the first day. Beginners will not he admitted after | the f.rst four weeks of school. Five ! \c; r old children who do not become j six before the Jan. 1, 1926, are in j eligible to attend this session, j An earnest appeal to all parents jto co-operate with the teachers in their efforts to make this the best ! year in the history of our schools. One of the best ways they can do th's is to see that their children are present every day possible and on time. An honor roll will be pub lished in the Record at the end of each quarter, or month possibly. No pupil will be on the honor roll who has been absent or tardy for the \ period. A good average daily attendance would mean a saving of five or six hundred dollars to the school each i year. The number of teachers paid I out of the State and county funds depends upon the average daily at tendance. Last year we had an en rollment of 490 in the elementary school with an average daily atten dance of 393. This entitles us to 12 elementary teachers. If the ave rage daily attendance had been 22 more or 415 we would this year be entitled to 13 teachers paid out of the State and county funds for the i first six months of the session. As I was the case last year we shall prob i ably need 13 teachers in the elemen tary school, but unless we average 4fa pupils per day for the year the salary of the extra teacher will have to he paid out of our local funds. Failing to maintain the required average daily attendance w.ll entail a loss of five or six hundred dollars to the district. An appeal to all the parents to send their children every day possible end in so doing help us to save this loss to our district. School r uhorities have a most earn est efforts to secure good teachers for the coming year they have made, and believe that they have suc ceeded. Only teachers who were re commended in every high terms were selected. With such excellent ! teachers, if parents, pupils, and friend of the school will thoroughly ! co-operate with us we feel that we shall have an unusually successful j session. The following is a complete list of the teachers: ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS First Grade: Lucy Turnage, Dor othy Davis. Second Grade: Mrs. F. L. Page, Hloise Whitley. Third Grade; Mabel Ripley, Jes.-ie McPhfil. Fourth Grade: Clarisse J!os«, Mrs. E. IT, Moser. | F.fth Grade: Mrs. Dennis Arnold. Sixth Grade: Rowena Adams. Seventh Grade: Mrs. K. E. Bunn, j Olive J.

COOPS PAY HIGH ADVANCE IN EAST Co-operatives Are Ready for Good Sea son at all Markets Raleigh, N. C., August 31—Twenty five co-operative receiving points of the Tobacco Growers’ Co-operative Association opened in as many East ern North Carolina towns Tuesday morning with a first cash advance to growers of sixty five per cent. This is the highest advance ever made by any tobacco co-operative associ ation in the country. Association officials here Wednes day had not received reports on the delivery but they did not expect a heavy one. The growers in and out if the association were more in clined, according to what informa tion has been received, to watch the “breaks” on the auction floors and make a studied comparison of the full price paid out in auction houses with the returns which the associa tion advances will indicate. Meantime, directors of the associa tion in the three States were jubi lant over the repart from the South Carolina belt which showed that Hiring the brief time, exactly four lays, in which, under considerable pressure from loyal members of the association, books were opened to permit non-members to sign con tracts, more than nine huudered growers had joined the pool. Os this number, it was cons’dered (Look on Page 8) WOMEN’S CLUBS ARE MAKING PLAT F 0 R M Council Meeting at Durham, on Octo ber 27th. Having determined what purpose 1 and policies shall characterize her i administration, Mrs. E. L. McKee, oi Sylva, the new [president of the Stait Federation of Women’s Clubs, an nounces that the big task oi her ad min straticn shall be the awakening as far i.s possible, of every club w <- man to the great potential power th lies in the hands of the 53,000 club members now banded together in the Federation. To awake them indi - iu j ally to a consciousness and right us< | of this power is the undertaking to j which Mrs. McKee has dedicated her of office. In addition to the regular routine work of the clubs, Mrs. McKee has •hosen three objectives demanding particular emphasis and special ef forts during her administration. The first of these is the work of the de partment of the American Home. Giv ing special study to this new depart ment will be in keeping with the plan of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs which created this department last year, and which has been partic ularly active and successful in organ izing and putting to work its machin ery in the various States. Conform ing further with the Genera! Federa tion plan, the name of the depart ment will he changed to the Depart i ment of the American Home at th< ' Pinehurst Convention. To make illiteracy impossible in North Carolina is the second object ive for which special effort and co-op eration is asked of all the clubs. The department of education through the Chairman of Adult Illiteracy will wage a systematic, State-wide campaign against illiteracy during the cornin'.: j year. The establishing of State headq’ li ter# for the Federation is the th rd objective for which all forward-look ng club women will work arid which | they hope to see accomplished during : th" present administration.

The uneven distribution of rainfall in | North Carolina during this crop year emphasizes a situation that exists normally in this State. This year Eastern North Car din;', for instance, aaa a superabundance • f corn; where - :■■■ in the western areas corn in sell ng at a price almost prohibitive to •he growers of lives! >ck. As a resul of this, western North Carolina has for sale thirty to s’xty days earier than usual a large number of cattle, sheep and hogs. Much has been said aml written I dining the pas y .no rc_ rding the aeceosity of the ind'-vidual farmer “living at home." Equally if not more important, from state-wide stand point, is the reaii •;* on n the need ! for groups of farmers in various seo | lions of the State supplying each oth ■ ed th mgh ti ling with •.coups of farmers in other sections of th" State. This can he brought, j about through the organization of ! producers exchanges in he various | counties or farm comm.ttei ami I through these omani' .‘ion some cen j teal agency such as thi State Divis ion of Market:- cun make known the markets needs and existent prices pre vailing in ether sections.
