PEANUT GROWERS TO
MEET ON MAY 10TH
May 10th will be a big day with the,
members of the Peanut Growers Ew
change as the annual meeting of the
stockholders will be held in Suffolk
that day. Dr. Poe, editor of the Pro
gressive Farmer, has accepted an in
vitation to address the growers in
their annual meeting. Dr. Poo ren
dered valuable service in the otgani
zation of the Exchange and the grow
ers will be especially glad to hear him
at this time as he has been right ii
the forefront in the big campaign for
cooperative marketing.
t ,i» election of tne board of .''rec
tors wil' be one of the important fea
tures of this meeting. The district
meetings for the nomination of the
directors of this meeting have all been
held, with the result that all the old
directors have been renominated with
the exception of Dr. I. A. Ward of Pel
quimans, who will be succeeded by T.
E. Langston. In view of the stifl
fight the cleaners are making on the
Exchange, the members aie vitally In
terested in the outcom eof this meet
ing, which promises tobe largely at
tended. The Exchange has been undei
heavy fire ever since announcement
was mud 4 that it had urranged ti
clean peanuts, but it is going right ii

ger and Board of Directors consider
this step absolutely necessary to it.
success; Now that the growers see
that they are being fought, they are
rallying loyally to the support of tin
Exchange, and will stand by their
guns till they win their victory.
o many requests have come to the
officials of the Exchange for contracts,
and such fl.ne response was made to
the recent appeal for subscriptions t
preferred stock, that the board oi
directors^decided to put on an
active campaign for securing new
signers and for the sale of preferee
stock. This campaign will be pushotl
vigorousyl during the rest of tlii:
month, and it iB confidently
that many growers who remained o
the outside last year will now sigi
the contract, as they have received n
special consideration from the clean
ers in the way of increased prices.
The indications are now that th
market has about strurk bottom. Tin
weekly report of the Luted States Hu
reau of Markets hsows that there ha
been an upward tendency in shelle.
Spanish. Tha mills are quoting fo'
shipment in 30 days at 1-8 cents pc
pound above prices for prompt ship
ment. It is also noticeable that her
in Virginia and North Carolna pea
nuts are being taken for trade in ad
vance of the time specified in the pur
chase. This indicates that peanut)
are now moving more freely and uiu
the trade is somewhat more hopeful

KQ. STATON BUYS
THE FAIR GROUNDS
Mr. J. G. Staton purchased the en
tire property of the Martin County
Fair Association at a recent sale, pay
ing about $36,000 for same, including
insurance. This amount represents
the total of all liens on the property.
Mr. Staton now proposes to turn the
property over to the present stock
holders at a price based on actual
cost
If this proposed plan is carrietlout
it means that the management of the
Fair will rmeain in the hands of lo
cal people and a good Fair will be
assured not only this year but in fu
turn yours.
The old stockholders should avui
themselves of J,his opportunity ti.
make their Fair stock profitable in
sftead of losing same. Mr. Staton
further states that other people may
now take stock on the same basis.
Now is the time to rally to ths Fail
Association for its now or never.
LEARNING THE LESSON OP
THRIFT
"More money was inws ed in th«
new offering of the Treasury Sav
ings Certificates in the Fifth Federal
Reserve District in March than In
either January or February, as a re
suit of the antion-wid* campaign oi.
the part of the Post Office and Trees
ury Departments to protect the sav
ings of the Americau peopl efrom un
safe investments," says postmaster
Jesse T. Price, of the Williamston of
fice.
A letter to the postmaster from
Howard T. Cree government directoi
of savings in this district states tha
the recent advance in the prices of
Liberty Bonds is making government
securities more popular and the de
dine in interest rates general!
making Treasury Savings Certificate,
particularly attractive. The demand
for government securities has result
ed in larger sales o fthese certificates
than at any time Bince they wer
placed on the market. Treasury Sav
ings certificates to the amount of
$666,219, maturity value, were pur
chased in this district in March, large
ly through the efforts of the postmas
ters.
Mr. Price expects greatly increased
sales here since a number of letters
have ben distributed to the patrons of
this office making known to them the
desirable features of Treasury Sav
ings Certificates.
"While these certificates yield 4 1-2
per cent interest, compounded eenii
annually, or twenty five per cent 01
purchase price if held to maturity,
five years from date of issue it is not
generally understood that they are
guaranteed against depreciation, be
cause they increase monthly in cash
surrender value and are redeemable
at owners option before maturity, in
which event they yield about 8 1-1
per cent interest, compounded semi
annually," says the postmaster.

of Kussell roses, in the eenter of ear.
were two tiny hearts tied together.
Upon opening these were found two
pictures, one of Mr. George W. Tom
lnison, the otherof Miss Lill Chap
man, "Summer 1922." Thus the h*
cret was revealed that even if th
city does lose Miss Chapman as &
member of the college faculty, it will
still retain her in our midst. There
was muchmerriment and excite men
after this, and with the next course
came small pink satin bags of rice
with a toast in each to be read to the
bride-to-be while she was showered
with rice. The wedding will take place
in the early fall.
The bride-to-be, Mise Chapman, if
the daughter of L. J. Chapman, piom
