HearD about TowN We have been so busy, from the editor to the printers devil, the past week that we have had little time to Interview friends from the country, but all seem to be might-y delighted at the prospects. Most every one report good curings, with now and then a complaint about tobacco firing. Undoubtedly good times are in store for Person coun ty tobacco farmers; tobacco crop ? better-than the average, corn look ing fine, especially late corn, and a large quantity of grass saved for winter forage. 'Yes, and we would not fall to mention that the lad les are taking care of many quarts and gallons of different things for' the table during the coming win ter months. The music of the saw and ham mar is heard In almost every sec tion of the town, many new homes are going up. and stores are un-' dergolng repairs. The beautiful homd of Dr. H. M. Beam, on Lamar street, Is almost completed, while the riew home being erected by Mr. B. B. Knight on Broad street will be another addition " to that beautiful residential section. Roxboro people perhaps are no more deserving, than others but somehow we just seem to be na turally more blessed than most other sections. For instance, we had no drought this year, neither have we had any rain, wind or hail storms to damage our crops. As stated often before, we are so modest that maybe tlje Great Ruler just naturally loeks down on us with compassion. Anyway, we have so much to be thankful for that he who complains or grumbles ought to be cast out, for he is unworthy *the great blessings We have enjoy ed.

For many years he held the respon sible position of City Manager of. the town of Roxboro, always admln isteering the affairs of his office lm partialy with unfailing ctourtesy and consideration for all, with ability and integrity, and th a consumate fidelity to his "sense of duty which kept him at his desk! much longer- - than his physical > strength warranted, such was his de-1 termination to discharge the duties; of his office faithfully even to the> end.

WOMEN. GOD BLESS 'EM! (By J. E. Jones) * Washington, D. C.?Mount Ver non is a treasured spot in the hearts of all Americans. There is a sweet abiding peace hovering about the sshrine sacred by them about the shrine made sacred by the memories of George and Mar- 1 tha Washington. Even in the stir ring times of the Civil War this was neutral ground for Union and Confederate soldiers who met here hs friends and Americans. Once have ^1 ever heard a person indicate by his speech that! he did not discover all _that Am -' erica stands for symbolized at the home of the Washingtons. It was on' I the great front porch. A lady came.'', out of the uansion and as she ( spoke to her husband I noticed the exhilaration and the thrill of ? patriotic pride in her voice. "O, j Fred, I have Just seen a perfectly ] splendid painting of Martha: I want you to see it "I don't want to j see it" he snapped. "But you must,. dean, shefe so lovely' sheloaved, I "I mont, she never amounted to : much, anyhow," he growled. A look of pain and disappoint- \ I pient swept over the woman's I countenance as her fickle Fred J revealed that he was destitute of i heroic sentiment. She had aroused i my sympathy which perhaps ac- < counts for the fact that I did not i tell her Friday a thing or twfJ. I particularly as he had caused me | to see red for a brief moment. Fred , was fat, because he ate too much; , and because he was so fat he was , suffering with tired feet that had t to carry the overload; his hot, ( swollen feet telegraphed their dis tress to his troubled brain; and'! there was a connection between . these nerved tissue and his vocal i organs . I turned away. Of course that man didn't know / that when Harrison. Pendleton, i1 Patrick Henry and othet Virginia 4 leaders went to "Mount Vernon to,' counsel with Wasjilqgton on their 1 way to the first continental con j1 gress that Martha was an active 1 participant in their long confer-;' ences. and that she urged them on ? to action. "George Is ready, and j we will'give up everything we have,,e and you must stand by him" she^ pleaded. Benjamin Harrison, whose | r son became the ninth president of, t the United States asked Marthaj? what she thought the mothers of, r the colonies would say If their sons;" werf called upon to go to war. Pen- ( g die ton wrote that she brought her son Jack Custis before them to say that he was ready to Join his fa-, ther He added afterwards that she talked to them "like . a Spartan mother." The women of Martha Washing ton's time were eypected to remain in the background, particularly in piiblic. affairs. Nevertheless^ J?faT the Washington gave _ample proofs that she was a great woman. Care-j ful study of history 'proves she amounted to a tremendous "much". About one hundred and ten years after Martha Washington died several thousand American ] women, a great many ... of mhom naturally prominent, marched in | behalf of the woman's sufrage move ment in Washington the day be fore Woodrow Wilson was first in augurated President. The police de partment did not protect their lines I and they were jeered and insulted! ah ? the way down Pennsylvania! Avenue, until Federal troop6 were; called out to restore order. Mrs. i Robert Lafollete, Sr. and the wives of several congressmen were among the marchers. Even at that date woman suffrage was an unpopu lar cause. Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Susan B. Anthony, Lucretia Mott. Anna Howard' Shaw, Carrie Chap man Catt and other pioneers had; blazed the trail. But the March of .Progress for the great cause as dedeloped Into a fast race whe nthe National Wo man's Party went into action. Un der. the ladership of Miss Alieci Paul these women picketed the i White House invaded the halls of Congress, crashed every gate that obstructed their march got arres ted and thrown into jails where they promptly went on hunger strikes, and were ordered to leave. President Wilson had told them that if they expected to succeed they must "concert public opinion" | They did?and the Resident and Congress were quickly won over toi woman's suffrage. In August 1920 franchise was conferred upon wo men. "Liberty and freedom", sought since the settlement of America three hundred years ago was fin ally theirs. Talking Tobacco With The Tobacco Farmers By Ben Kilgore A flood of letters from tobacco farmers has poured into the Toba cco Section of the AAA since the passage of the Kerr-Smith Toba cco Act. Since this far-reaching and pioneering measure appears to be uppermost in our minds right now, I'd like to give you my ideas on some of its important provisions. ; You can disagree, if you like. This ] is a friendly personal visit and not in official lecture. ' Human nature forges to the front in most of these letters. Non go-opprating tobacco farmers are seeking a loophole to escape the tax or are asking that their case i>e made an exception. A great many o these are doomed to dis ippotntment. If they ca nsecure an equitable base under the reduction contract, the law clearly states hey will not be allotted tax-pay ment warrants, unless they sign a contract. Large growers, espe cially. who wish to escape payment cf the tax should take advantage of :he extension of time to sign a re luct ion contract. The final day Is luly 28, or thirty days from the signing M the Mil bftr President Hooeevelt. This seems fair enough to me. I pee no logical reason why large or small growers who can qualify for uj equitable base, should fare" bet er than cooperating growers, who lave reduced acreage and have nade higher prioes passible. In ny opinion these growers should ign up or should take their medl ine without complaining. Every effort will be made to take are of small froweis who, through pircumstanoes beyond* their control vere unable to qualify for an equl able base, under the reduction pro rram. TTihr is right and is the hu nan thing to -do. After all. the New DeaT' stresses human yalues md the greatest good to the largest Contracting growers will receive, without applying for them, payment warrants to cover their poundage allotment under their contracts. Additional allotments, 19' to 6 per cent of those Issued to contracting growers, will be Issued to non-concractlng growers, who could not qualify a fair allotment. Non-contracting growers? tenants or landowners?should make appli cation Immediately for tax-pay ment warrants to their county ag ent or their county tobacco com mittee. Two-thirds of the war rants to non-contract signers shall be to small growers, whose allot ments" are 1.500 pounds or less. The balance can go to small .grow ers, also, If the county tobacco committees so recommend. It I understand the temper of to bacco committeemen aright, they're goihg to lean toward the small grower. I believe they shuold. These allotments to ? non contract signers are to Iron out individual Injustices that are bound to occur In any broad program to help an industry embracing 400,000 tobacco growers. Non-contract signers re ceiving tax-payments warrants will BK required to /hperate In line with the spirit of the adjustment pro gram, and they will not-reoeive ren tal or benefit payments. ' Non-contract signers and those failing to fall in the 6 per cent will pay a tax of 25 ger cent of sales price of their tobacco In 1934. Whether they like not, it must be paid. The majority of cooeprating growers asked for the act. Congress granted their re quest. Tobacco committeemen re presenting contracting growers, will largely pay to whom the "fire allot ments" shall go. I'm glad cooperat ing tobacco farmers had the gump tion to demand that they be pro tected from the non-cooperating minority, who always have and al ways will ''tear down the play house," if they are not controlled. In the past the minority has "dictated" to the majority. Under the present plan majority rule, will prevail.' A few requests, for cancellation of contracts are being returned tq__ growers for reconsideration In1 vlevP* of the Kerr Smith Tobacco Act. In addition to loss of futuer payment and a return of payments already made canceled contracts mean a tax of 25 per cent on the sales value of the 1934 crop Instead of exemption on the cooperator's al lotment. Growers cancelling con tracts cannot receive taxpayment warrants under the 6 per cent al lotment. :nt will m itTlr Colored Teachers Attended A. & T.
