After clearing about 25 cases from

Moore yesterday afternoon adjourned
the superior court here until next
Monday morning. With few or nc
exceptions, the term, scheduled for the
trial of civil cases only, has been at
tended by the smallest number ol

court officer found it difficult to pro
cure sufficient jurymen, and the pro

of justice have cleared a larger number
of cases this week than any other

LOCAL MOVIES
MAKE BIG HIT
Scenes Are Clear and At
tract Much Interest at
- -Watts Theatre
Breaking into the movies for the
(rut time, more then half the people
of the town end community and many
familiar scenes of the town were the
center of attraction on the screen at
the Watts Theatre here last night,
Cameraman Hunckleman almost work
ing wonders in filming the raw ma
terial.
In addition to the scenes of several
business firms, the cameraman filmed
the several schools, children', and
teachers, the fire company members
and caught the local high school foot
ball boys in action againat Dunn last
fi*sidsy afternoon ?? ?
The last shots depicted traffic on
Main Street, and while they speeded
up the movements they were more or
less representative of the fact driving
seen on the thoroughfare day in and
day out.
Although they are without sound
effects, the pictures are very clear
aaad arc similar in make-up to those
coming from the Hollywood studios
minus, of course, that certain appeal.

as a member of the old school the ftps
preciated the pure and simple things
of life, and was ever willing to do unto
others for their happiness and wel

ples of honeftty and uprightness, she
figured prominently in-rearing her chil
jdren to become prominent in business
'life and in the affairs of the county.
| Besides her husband, she leaves one
!daughter, Mrs. Alonzo Roberson; and
'six sons, Joseph S., John A., S. Claud,

MRS. BOYLE DIES
LAST TUESDAY
AT HAMILTON
Native of Philadelphia, But
Had Lived in County for
Many Years
! Airs. Margaret Boyle, a native of
Philadelphia, hut for many years a
prominent resident ofThis county, died
at her home in Hamilton last Tues
| day evening, following a long period
|of declining health. Heart disease and
| complications were assigned as the
1 immediate causes of her death.
! Funeral services Were conducted on
Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock by
Rev. E. F. Moseley, rector of St. Mar
tin's Episcopal church. Burial was in
the Hamilton cemetery.
I Mrs. Boyle, before her marriage, was
; Miss Margaret Brittin. She was the
?daughter of J. Q. Brittin, of Philadel
phia. She was born and reared there.
Her first marriage was to Joseph H.
Watkins, who died in Hamilton. Of
this union, one son, Captain Ralph B.
J Watkins, now stationed at the Con
necticut State University, survives.
Her second marriage was to John P.
Boyle, of Hamilton, in 1903. He died
,13 years ago.
I Mrs. Boyle was one of the outstand
ing women in her community. She
was one of the most ardent workers
of the Episcopal church. Since the
I death of her husband, she made her
|home with Miss M. B. Jones, of~~Ham
ilton. She would have been 70 years

TRANSFER TAX
WARRANTS AT
AGENTS OFFICE
Illegally Transferred Cot
ton Certificates Will'
Be Cancelled
?
Legal transference of cotton tax
exemption certificates from one grow
er to another must be ^nade through
the county agent's office, warns Dean
I. O. S:haub, of State College.
Illegally transferred certificates will
be cancelled, he said, and the cotton
they were intended to cover will be
subject to the Bankhead tax of five
and two-thirds cents a pound.
To protect growers from fraud,
speculators, or unfair practices in the
trading of certificates, provision was
made that all exchanges must be made
through the county agent and at the
rate of four cents a pound.
Schaub pointed out that it is also
illegal to sell a certificate to a person
who is not a eotton grower.?How
evcr, it is pcrmissablt for ginners to
go to the county agent and buy cer
tificates for a grower when the grow
er gives him written authorization to
do to.
When an illegal transfer is discov
ered, Schaub said, notice will be tent
the collector of internal revenue and
other persons involved in the trans*
fer, including the county agent.
Schaub also said that every dollar
spent for extra tax-exemption certi
ficates goes to help growers who fail
ed to produce the full amount of their
allotments.
The sale of surplus gives the un
derproduce * form of crop insurance
by enabling him to realize four cents
a pound for that part of his allot
ment he failed to produce. It also
gives the overproducer a chance to
sett 1jti excess cotton without pay
ing the full amount of the Bankhead
tax.

dents two of the major interests of the
year?the World's Fair in Chicago ami
the great River Rouge plant of the

"Rhapsody in Steel," filmed in the
River Rouge Ford plant and accom
pnied by a specially-composed ntusica1
score played by a full symphony or
, chcstra, is a highly imagination mo

expression of an industrial subject. In

I brings to local residents a complete
| newsreel view of the 1934 World's
Fair. Filmed on the grounds of A

crowds, the noises of the midway, the
picturesque villages, the special ex
hibits, and, finally,*the mammoth Ford

sents a-historical record uf ttoe World*
Fair for 1()34.
The tOUr through the Ford ""Expo- +

the entire fair carry with them the
actual sound recordings and atmos- j
phere of the exposition. Special mus
ic accompanies the film, which were
made by Pathe News.
"Rhapsody in Steel" is described as
an industrial extravaganza." Central
theme of the picture is the assembly
of a Ford V-8 car, and around this
theme is woven an imaginative story
of a tiny imp which materializes from
the V-8 insignia to assemble the car ,
without human assistance.
Both films are being presented free
of charge.

ILLEGAL SALE OF
SCRAP TOBACCO
GIVEN AS CAUSE
???
Situation in County Has
Reached Serious
Proportions
"TTT extent to which tobacco farm
ers in this county are violating their
contracts is fast reaching serious pro
portions. reliable reports received in
the office of the county agent thi-?
week clearly indicated. More than
200 farmers, intentionally or uninten
tionally, are believed to have violated
their contracts by illegally selling scrap
tobacco, assistant county agent Mur
phy I* Barnes said yet^erday
The seriousness surrounding the al
leged violations is found in the pos
sibility of the farmer losing his con
tract and the probability of facing
prosecution. Farmers have been
warned against the sale of scrap where
the production is covered by contract
and where the sales are not legally
entered on the marketing cards, but
late reports maintain that many are
ignoring all warnings and are taking
a long chance to sell the scrap. Close
examination oF"Tbe c<?ntract wTTT re7""
veal that tobacco produced under con
tract must be entered on the market
ing card when sold, the only other
alternative being to destroy the to
bacco. Regardless of whether the
sc/ap buyer has a license or a hun
dred licenses, he cannot buy scrap to
bacco illegally from a contracting
grower without the sale being entered
on a marketing card by a field agent
of the government
County and state agricultural au
thorities are now. working on the prob
lem, and every contracting grower
selling scrap illegally is subject
lose his contract and be required to
"pgy"ltre~tax~uf"25 pet cent on lii?-**u?
tire crop. The farmer cannot even
give the scrap away, and if a child of
the contracting grower sells the scrap
the contract owner will be held re
sponsible.
The names of every seller ?>{ scrap
tobacco will be placed in the hands
of the agricultural authorities, and spec
ial checking will be done to locate the
violators. There is no doubt but that
the authorities will carry out the terms
of the conracs.
Thirty or more farmers, listening
to the apparent misrepresentations of
the scrap buyersCare now trying t^?
correct their mistakes in this county.
They are finding it necessary to buy
marketing cards at the rate of 5 cents
a pound to make legal the sale of
scrap for which they received around
1 1-2 cents a pound. The authorities
arc anxious to aid any farmer who un
intentiohally sold Lis scrap tobacco
and violated the terms of his contract,
hut they will be required to report to
the office of their own volition. It
might be a different story if the farm
er waits until the records from the
revenue authorities are received ami
he U sTimtiioned before the county ag- -
ricultural representatives to explain
the sales of scrap.

Game Scarce, But Many
Get Bag Limit of Quail
?
While huntsmen are agreed there is
a scarcity of all kinds of game in this

the sport reported bag limits for quail
following the opening of the season
last Tuesday.
Hunters have been entering the
fields in fairly large numbers, but the
weather has been too warm for many
others. The fall hunting season is ex
pected to reach a busy climax, weath
