WORK PROJECTS
ARE BROUGHT TO
HALT THIS WEEK
Step Said To Have Been
Taken To Force Needy
To Cultivate Gardens
•
All relief projects will be stopped in
this county this week, according to
instructions received here yesterday
from Miss Mary P. Ward, district
supervisor. A number of projects
have already been suspended, but next
week no relief projects will be under
way unless county welfare heads are
instructed between now and Monday
to continue the work. Projects now
in progress will continue through this
week.
The discontinuance of all relief proj
ects will leave only the Red Cross
headquarters for the unfortunate to
turn to, it is understood.
At the present time there are about
JOO men working on various relefi
projects of one kind or another in
the county, all being of a public na
ture, however. As many as 500 men
have been employed weekly in the
county since the first of the year.
The number was greatly decreased
when the spring opened up, and the
unfortunates were directed to start
gardens and other relief activties of
'7 their own. The number was again
decreased a few days ago when the re
lief office in Raleigh ordered all proj
ects requiring farm labor be suspend
ed.
The suspension of the work relief
projects resulted, it is believed, when
the unfortunates preferred to work a
little and get ready cash rather than
turn to the soil and cultivate gardens
for themselves. Then, too, the projects
were receiving more attention in some
counties than the ones supposed to
get the relief were receiving.
THERMOMETER
TAKES TUMBLE
Summer-like Weather Is
Interruped by Cold Rain
Here Last Wednesday
The summer-like weather prevailing
for a few days just prior to last Wed
nesday was interrupted that morning
when the mercury dropped a dozen or
more degrees and a cold rain fell in
thia section. Reports had it that a
little snow fell that morning. Fair
weather prevailed Wednesday after
noon, and while the mercury has start
ed going up again it is several de
grees from summer heat. Rain and
colder tomorrow, according to the
weather man.
Light frosts were seen here yes
terday and this morning but no
resulting damage was noticed to young
and tender plants of various kinds.
The semi-cold snap may retard the
growth of plants to some extent and
delay transplanting a short time, but
unless the mercury drops to a lower
point than it has reached during the
past few days, no great damage is ex
pected to the young crops in this sec
tion.

life and unburdening his discouraged
heart to her. As he begins to find
strength he meets with the tempta
tions, Success, Experience, and Skep
ticism, who try to destroy his ideals.
Life again intervenes and liegs him
to wait and listen to a great story.
In the second scene the story of the
disappearance of the Holy Grail is
told. The procession of the nuns and
the music of this scene make it very
impressive and beautiful. A sight of
the Holy Grail is given and this lends
inspiration to the next scene as
In the third scene the Knights of
King Arthur decide to go forth in
quest of the Grail. Life and Youth in
the meanwhile have been looking on.
Youth catches the spirit and begs to
be allowed to lead the procession and
carry the cross. The pageant conies
to an end with the exultant proces
sion going forth to follow the gleam,
The characters of the pageant are
as follows: Life, Mrs. Rome Biggs;
Youth, Keg Simpson; Success, Billy
Clark; Skepticism, Billy Watts; Priest
Asa Crawford; Nuns, Misses Thelma
Brown, Hannah Vick Everett, Sara

'FARMERS READY
TO TRANSPLANT
TOBACCO PLANTS
First of 1933 Crop Will Be
Put Into Fields Latter
Part Next Week
While the season is yet a little ad
vanced, a few tampers in this section
are planning to start transplanting
their tobacco crop next week, about
the middle or latter part. With the
exception of the cold weather exper
ienced Wednesday, .the growing sea
son has been very favorable and the
plants have grown rapidly. However,
a majority or nearly all, the farmers
in this section will hardly start trans
planting before the early part of May.
Last year, transplantings were made
as late as the middle of June, one
farmer stating that he made more on
the late crop than he did on that set
comparatively early in the season.
Tobacco transplanted too early or even
during the first week or two of the
transplanting season is said to devel
op into a heavy leaf, and the resulting
quality is not in great demand. Dur
ing the past few seasons, the lighter
weight tobaccos are said to have sold
better than the heavier-weight types.
There is yet some difference of opin
ion as to the damage done and ex
pected, as a result of blue mold. As
far as it could be learned this week
no great damage has resulted to to
bacco plants in this county. The mold
has been reported in many beds, but
in only a few cases has it resulted in
complete destruction of the plants.
Cabbage plants and a few other of
the larger garden vegetables have
been attacked by blue mold, but in
those same sections, it had not at
tacked the young tobacco plants.
Several of the lower counties in the
state report the blue mold, and ac
cording to reports reaching here con
siderable damage might result to plant
beds before the transplanting season
is fully under way.
MAKING CHECK
ON GUARDIANS
Believe Rights of the Little
Orphans Will Be Cared
for by June Court
I [regularities, where there are irreg
ularities, are being called to the at
tention of the several guardians in
this county with the warning that they
be looked after immediately, it was
learned from the courthouse here this
week. No arrests have been made in
any cases as directed by Judge Parker
during his stay here at the last March
term of superior court, but the cases
at-e being investigated and the guar
dians urged to attend to the cases at
once.
Many guardians have complied with
the orders of the court already, and it
is believed the little orphans, as they
were called by Judge Parker, will have
their right*'protected before the-judge
returns in June.
Several bondsmen have asked to be
relieved of responsibility connected
with the guardianships, but when new
bondsmen could uot be had the old
bonds were continued in force.

about 35 young men in the class and
that each of them was taking an active
interest in the work.

schools at Bath several years before

ceived the surprise of his life recently
when for the first .time every student

This happy occurrence, he said, has

Small Child Undergoes
Very Painful Operation
Thurman I,ee Manning, 19-months
old son of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Man
ning, of (iriftins Township, underwent
a serious and unusually painful oper
ation in a Kinston hospital last Wed
nesday. The little fellow was report
ed as getting along as well as could
be expected yesterday.
A few days ago the little fellow was
nibbling a peanut, and it entered his
windpipe and later his lung when he
accidentally tripped himself while play
ing in the yard. He was removed to
the hospital and the peanut was re.
moved, but in some way it left him
unable to get his breath. An opera
tion was performed on his throat, and
a tube was used -in his throat making
breathing possible. It was impossible
to administer ether, and the little fel
low is said to have suffered almost
unbearable pain.
