698 CHILDREN AT
OPENING LOCAL
SCHOOL MONDAY
High School Registration
Increased Over Opening
Day Figures Last Year
An auspicious opening marked the
beginning of the 1932-33 school term
here yesterday, when 698 children re
ported for the instruction, the number
being 8 less than the opening day fig
ures of last year. Poverty is believed
to have held nuny children of elemen
tary school age at home, and Princi
pal Watson expressed the opinion yes
terday that the total enrollment would
be materially increased' as soon as
these children find it possible to at
tend. T)he Ihigli „school enrollment
was Increased by 10, bringing the
number in the last four grades up to
182, with about 10 or IS more expect
ed to register this week and next. The
elementary enrollment dropped from
529 on opening day last year to 516
yestefday,» but this loss will, in all
probability, be more than offset when
all the little folks find it possible to
attend.
With the children of the two schools
assembled in the high school build
ing, Rev. Z. T. Piephoff led the de
votional service, followed with talks
by Mayor R. L. Coburn, Attorney
E. S. Peel and Editor W. C. Man
ning. The little folks had a huge
task outlined for them by the speak
ers, but throughout the program a
marked seriousness was noted, making
the opening one of the most success
ful here in years.
Following the joint exercises, Jhc
children and teachers repaired to their
respective rooms, where assignments
were made and foundations for a hard
year's work were laid.
Enrollment, by grades, was an
nounced by Principal William R. Wat
son yesterday, as follows:
Grade 1, 83; firade
42; grade 3A, 35; grade 38, 39; grade
4A, 43; grade 48, 41; grade SA, 48;

URGE HUNTERS
GO BY RULES OF
SAFETY FIRST
Proper Handling of Guns
Will Hold Down The
Number of Accidents
In going to the woods this fall and
winter, hunters will do well to bear
in mind the following warnings:
"Don't carry your gun put together
in automobiles, wagons, etc. It's the
'unloaded' gun that,shoots, too! Many
states have laws against carrying un
xa&ed guns in automobiles.
"Don't shoot your gun after putting
it together until you have looked thru
the barrel or barrels and find it clear.
"Don't pull guns through fences;
carry them over the fence with you,
keeping the muzzle pointed away from
yourself and others. If a breech load
er, open it before crossing.
"Don't set, your loaded gun against
a tree or leave it lying on the ground
if you have dogs about when you stop
to "rest; they may knock it down or
step on it.
"Don't lay your loaded gun down
in the bottom of a boat; picking it up
sometimes causes it accidentally to
discharge and shoot the bottom out.
"Don't shoot your gun after fall
ing, climbing a bank, or walking over
newly plowed ground until you have
examined the barrel.
"Don't let your gun muzzle point
toward water, for if the gun is fired
•with muzzle under water.'it Witt e**
plode in most cases.
"Don't shoot a movement—it may
be a man, cow or other livestock. Be
sides, every sportsman not only wants
to see his game, but hit it in a vital
spot.
"Don't shoot at game until after
you have assured yourself that no
other living creature, house, barn, or
other such property is in the line of
fire."

COOPERATION TO
BE GREAT AID TO
SOUTH'S PEOPLE
Hoped That Everyone Will
Retard Sale of Cotton
Crop This Year
Raleigh,—The loan of $50,000,000
by the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration to the cotton cooperatives
and the stabilization corporation to
enable these organizations to hold
cotton off the market has been de
scribed by U. Benton Blalock, presi
dent of the American Cotton Cooper
ative Association, as "'a move in the
right direction and one in which we
are glad to cooperate in the interest
of all cotton producers."
Thirty-five of the fifty millions goes
to the cooperatives to enable them to
hold their 1930 cotton off the market
until July 31, 1933, ad the remaining
$15,000,000 will be used by the stabil
ization corporation to keep its hold
ings off the market until March, 1933.
"This is-ta day when cooperation is
sorely needed," Mr. Blalock said,
"and it is to be sincerely hoped that
all cotton producers in the South and
our Southern bankers and our seed
loan borrowers will cooperate to the
fullest extent with the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, the Farm Board
and the cooperative organizations in
maintaining a schedule of marketing
that will not break prices to lower
levels."
Pointing' out that the cooperatives,
in the interest of all cotton producers,
are bearing the brunt of the transac
tion in that a large portion of the
interest will be charged against their
IM3O cotton in addition to storage
charges, Mr. Blalock said he some
times wondered if the cotton pro
ducers and others of the South fully
appreciate cooperatives and
the farm board have tried to do to
obtain bptter prices for cotton, the
South's chief money crop.
Mr. Blalock referred to the seven
million bale cotton holding movement
launched last season by the coopera
tives, the farm board and Southern
bankers and which he said, "steadied
the market and gave a very substan
tial increase in the price to produc
ers."
"It is to be sincerely hoped that
the bankers of the South wiH again
voluntarily help retard as much as
possible the sale of this year's crop
and to have it marketed orderly," he
added.
Pointing out that the Seed Loan'
division of the Department of Agri
culture should cooperate in the fullest
extent in the mivement to market
Orderly the present crop, Mr. Blalock
said:
"Not only would this movement
help very materially in the making
of collections on the money advanced
to farmers this season but if prices
can be maintained around nine cents
and above the seed loan division may
be able to unload for its borrowers
the several thousand bales
|of cotton it accepted last season at
I eight cents per pound as collateral
on loans to producers."
Here the head of the American
Cotton Cooperative turned to statis
tical data, saying:
"We have a prospective American
crop of 11,310,000 bales, or about
3,250,000 bales below the average pro
duction for the past, five years. If
only about 3,500,000 bales of this
present crop could be held off the
market for a while it would leave us
otily about 8,800,000 bales for im
mediate sale, which is only about
100,000 bales more than we exported
last year, to say nothing of domestic
consumption. " ,
"If it is. wise and proper to use
$50,000,000 of Reconstruction F'inance
Corporation money in this r'holding
off the market' movement, why is it
not.proper that another branch of
the government, the U. S. Depart
ment. of Agriculture, also join in this
'movement?
J "And then a step further: Why not
■we people of the South also- put a lit
tle money in tViis Southwide effort?"

Downs Whole
Gallon Rum;
Will Recover
"Nobody knows ju»t how bad I
feel," Ike Mobley, colored man
living near here on Washington
road, moaned yesterday afternoon
as he par«i|lly regained conscious
ness following a drunk that is be
lieved to have shattered all rec
ords here, and one that would
have made the hey-day events of
the New West look tame back in
the forties.
Mobley drank eight pints.—an
even gallon—of the spirits Sun
day, and yesterday there was some
doubt expressed as to whether or
not he would live.
Starting early that morning, the
man is said to have "killed" three
pints before breakfast, taking one
half a pint at a loading. When
found Monday morning, he was
believed to be dead, but as he came
around that afternoon, Mobley ad-'
mitted that he was cured.

"1 take this method of communi
cating with my farmer friends be

on account of my physical condition,

best place that you can sell - your to
baeco.
I have followed the Williamston to
bacco market since IW2, when it was
organized, anil at which time I made
a speech to the farmers assembled
here. I believe that the Williamston
tobacco market this, year is better
equipped than ever before to give the
tarnier the highest dotlar for his' j>ro«l
uct. The market has been in opera
tion for more than a week,*and not
a single farmer has left the .market
so far without being entirely satis

as never before to the single purpose
of making tl\e Williainston tobacco
