Reistrars Attend Special School for Instructions Here (Continued from page one) that I have not registered for this election in any other precinct. So help me, God." To register a citizen must be able to react and write, state his age. list his residence, declare color and na tionality. A citizen cannot get his name on the registration books by sending word to the registrar: he must ap pear in person, subscribe to the oath and prove his qualifications and right to register Registration. despite the appatent complications and regulations, is, after all, a very simple matter, and every citizen owes it to himself, his county, state and nation to register and vote. The registrars were definitely in structed to refrain from political activities, such as managing any can didate's campaign or soliciting sup port for any candidate. At the close of the two hour ses sion of the school, county board election officials told the registrars to follow the dictates of the law as near as possible and to-exercise their own good judgment and use discre tion when in doubt of certain legal interpretations The three election board members are to meet in special session on Monday, May 6, to review the regis tration to that date and to take any action necessary in connection with the registration It is ppssihi?> a special inducement wijl be consid ered for the registrars as a last re sort to build up the voting strength in the county to a point approaching normal, if not greater than that rep resented on the old books. ,\o Camlidalen Schedule*!

Shifting Vote Reported In The (bounty Recently While only the final count on May 25 will reveal the real facts, recent reports indicate a shift in the strength of the gubernatorial candi dates in this county. Lee Gravely is understood to have made a heavy pull on J M. Brough ton's strength, and Tom Cooper's name is being heard more frequent ly even though he has not parked his sound truck in the county to date. The names of the other four candi dates are seldom heard in passing conversations relating to political developments. As for local politics, there isn't any "dope" to be had on the trends. Nearly 100 Percent ()f Martin (Growers Sign New Contracts (Continued from page one) penalised?at-the4^ f ^ ****??? ? average. Excess tobacco plantings carry a penalty of $76.80 per acre, on an average. And any farmer who knowingly overplants his cotton acreage will forfeit his claims to any and all benefit payments, including those offered to adjust current cot ton market pi ices. ? ? A fairly complete survey^ ot the peanut farmers' plans indicates that the county will possibly plant close to acrt?s in excess of its 1940 peanut acreage allotment, meaning that quite a few thousand dollars W deduihd froni-thr $220,000 when payments are effected next fall and winter. The tobacco acreage will conform quite closely to the allotment, and no penalties arc anticipated there There isn't even a possibility that the Cotton allotment will be exceed ed in the^ounty 4his year However, plans are being made for a marked increase in the crop. Last year, Mar tin farmers planted hardly a third of the approximately 7,000 acres allot ted them, and it is believed that the piantmgs wilt fall short of the al lotment by about 1,000 acres this year. In most sections of the county, tobacco farmers will plant cotton on those acres taken out of tobacco. According to statements coming from leading county farmers there is little reason for excess peanut plant ings this year Most of those who are planning to exceed their allotments, claim they must do so to provide an ample supp.y of hay. It has been pointed out time and again that most any iarmer can build up an adequate supply of feed by planting oats an different kinds of beans and peas. Officials would not comment whe asked about the one per cent of th farmers who did not sign the ne^ farm plans. It is understood, how 1 ever, that a few were not satisfie with their allotments and would nc j sign, and others forgot or put oi ' signing until it was too late for thei to sign AdutlmeHt Bill fi Approved By IV allure (Continued from page one) by Frederick the Great " "It was rec ognized at the time," lie said, "thai the Landschaft of Germany could not be entirely duplicated in the United States," and the system failed in Ger many. Farm borrowers see nothing coop erative in the land bank arrangement and regard the "requirement of buy ing stock as just a form of commis sion which they have to add as part of the cost of their loan." In most counties. Wallace stated, the farm loan associations are in the hands of a few directors and the control lies with the Federal land bank officials. "I believe that the cooperative re sponsibility features designed in the original act can be carried out more effectively by means of the added authority given to the associations under the provisions of this bill," Wallace told the committee. The pro posed bill eliminates joint liability from the farm credit set-up but in creases the responsibilities and rights of the Iocs I associations. In approving the provisions of the measure to scale down farm mort gage debts and to refinance these mortgages at 3 per cent interest, Wal lace said, "it is ironical also that the great concern expressed for the In terests of the farmers as owners of the lank bank system does not ex tend to the interests of these same farmers as borrowers from the land banksT*" ~ ?

Witnesses in the first casif were assigned to the jury and when the defendant finished his work in the Parker-Harrison case, the witnesses were tied up in an other case. The tangles were finally unravel ed, and the case was called for trial, the plaintiff alleging that undue pressure had been brought in forc ing a deed transfer. was granted the defendant in the suit of Standard Fertilizer Company against Paul Murphy and others. Other judgments were granted the fertilizer concern, as follows: $257 66 less credits against Frank and Clar ence Boykin; $248 84 less credits against C. D. Jernigan; $181.93 and $20 09 against C. H. Roberson. Outlook Bit bloomy For Britain - France With war activities taking a serious turn in Norway today, the outlook (or the Alies there holds quite a gloomy prospect for the near future, at least. Late reports indicate that the rapid movements of the German forces are making it quite difficult for the Allies to keep up and hold their own against the invaders While the outlook is gloomy in Nor way. uncertainty grows in other neu tral countries. Americans have been warned to leave five of the countries reported in the path of Hitler's next move, including Rumania Germany is making its advances in rapid order and after a spectacular pattern, but the Allies are laying the foundation to match the Nazi forces. Orders have just been placed for 1,900 American airplanes, and other orders for war supplies are being in creased.
