Methodist Bishop
Preaches To Large
Congregation Here|
Life In Not Measured by the]
Length of Days or Earth
ly Possessions
?
Bishop Clare BttSell. ll?S of th?
North Carolina and Western North
Carolina conferences, preached to a
large congregation in the Methodist
Church here last Sunday evening,
the prominent minister's message be
mg well received by members of the
several denominations in attendance
upon the service.
Basing his subject on the fourth
chapter and 14th verse according to
James. "For what is your life? the
churchman stressed the ideals and
visions of the dreamers and declared
that life could not be measured in
the length or number of days or by
earthly possessions. Developing his
topic, Bishop Purcell said that life i
was dimensional, that it had an up |
reach, an horizontal or out reach and ,
a down reach.
"There are millions of forms of
life as found in the sea. on land, in
the vegetable and animal kingdom.
Life is full of mystery and much
about it we don't understand. But
that is one of God's ways of holding
our attention and interest in me
No one can look down upon the new
born babe's face, see the myi ery |
there and lose interest in life. Elim
inate the mystery and life is dead
This sophisticated age has offered
to explian so many mysteries, that
they have lost their wonder. Despite
those explanations and despite our
knowledge, we can't look upori the
millions of stalks of corti and other
living things without seeing its i
mystery God is only speaking to uio
We must guard against the habit |
becoming familiar with the myster-1
ies of life, for when they become |
familiar we lose interest."
The minister stated that if the
stars were to be seen only once each
vear, astronomers would make prep
arations to observe them, that when
we see the handiwork in the heavens
nightly we are not impressed It is
the same with life, the bishop poinb
ing out that life is so universal and
throbbing with activity that we lose |
interest in it. , ,
Continuing, the prominent church
man said, "Much human life has
been needlessly destroyed but hu
man life is not a cheap thing We
gauge every other value through its
relation to human life which is su
preme and which is beyond meas
ure. The cynic talks about oneness
and groups, that the individual is
so small that he counts for little, f
we believe that we lose our right

of its uncertainty. If we were guar

kindness, patience and charity would
die out. It is for eternal good that
God withholds certain facts from
USThe Bishop recalled the acquaint-]
ance of a fellow college student who
had great promise. Three months ar-1
ter the brilliant young man had ac
cepted his first pastorate, he died
"Possibly that young man did more
good in those three months than he
could have done had he lived to be
75 years old. for his goodness lives
on and now, 28 years later, his
classmates remember his work and
carry on with a greater determina
tion than ever. Life, we see, is not
a matter of days Sometimes, a baby s
smile may do more good than a long
life. The mere possession of things
is not hfe, and thatt is a peril to
which we are exposed. Some years
ago there were 100 different com
modities and only 16 of them were
rated as necessities. Now there are

Youth Shot While
Stealing Gasolinel
Tilghman James Wilson, 18-year
old colored youth, is believed to have I
learned that crime does not pay. But j
it was a costly lesson for the way
ward youth.
Ananias Davis, driver of a Linds
ley Ice Company truck, had been
missing gasoline from the truck tank
for several days and last Saturday
night he decided to maintain a watch
and discover the leak. Standing a
short distance from the truck which
was parked in his yard on the
Jamesville Road, just off Washing
ton Street, Davis had waited only a
short time when Wilson appeared
and made ready for the haul.
Hardly had Davis said, "I've got
you now," Wilson started to run.
"Halt," yelled Davis. Wilson, in the
common vernacular, "turned on the
fan." Davis fired a load of No. 10
shot after him, and Wilson increased
his speed. Another load was fired,
and Wilson continued to run to his
home on the corner of Warren Street
and the Jamesville Road. It wasn't
long before the police learned that
at least one load and possibly both
loads of shot had taken effect. Wil
son was peppered with shot, two
striking him in the eye. Removed
to a Washington hospital, the thief
was found not to be seriously shot,
but it is thought today that he will
lose the sight in one eye.
No warrant has been issued by lo
cal police, but it is understood that
Davis will be charged with an as
sault with a deadly weapon
Fanners Will Vote on Cotton
Control Program December 7
Cotton growers of North Caroling
and of the South will go to the polls
December 7th to decide whether
AAA marketing quotas will be plac
ed on the 1941 crop, E. Y. Floyd, AAA
executive officer of State College,
has announced
The new national marketing quo
ta just announced by Secretary of
Agriculture Wickard will make pos
sible the marketing of 12,000.000
bales during the next cotton year be
ginning August 1, 1941
However, before an adjusted pro
duction program can go into effect,
two-thirds or more of the cotton
growers voting must approve allot-1
ments. This year's referendum comes
two days earlier than that of last
year when 91 per cent of the nation's
cotton producers voting favored the
marketing quota program for 1940.
Floyd said growers have approved
the cotton program for three consec-1
utive years, voting control on them
selves in 1940, 1939 and 1930. During
the years the quotas have been in
effect, cotton farmers, as a group,
have planted well within the nation
al acreage allotment.
The AAA executive officer ex
plained that it was necessary to
call for a limited production in 1941
because of the tremendous surplus
which still hangs over the market.
Much of this was due to the record
crop of 1937, which glutted the mar
ket and forced prices down sharp
ly
While export markets have been
demoralized as a result of the war,
the national defense program in this
country is expected to stimulate do
mestic demand for the South's No. 1
cash crop.
North Carolina's 1940 cotton acre
age allotment was 930,509 acres. A
good crop has been reported from
most sections of the State.
War Spreading to Far
Corners of the World
DRUNKENNESS
Public drunkenness became
popular in a big way here over
the week end after a lull believ
ed to have been the result of the
stringent financial situation dur
ing previous weeks. Out of the
eight persons arrested and jail
ed. si* of them were booked for
public drunkenness. A seventh
one was charged with violating
the liquor laws, and the eighth
was jailed for the alleged theft
of 10.000 Camel cigarettes from
a railroad boa car.
Police and patrol cars were
running at frequent intervals
here during a greater part of
Saturday night.

Added Trouble In
Africa And Indo
China Is Reported
Itrilinli Itomh (Jermuiiy uml |
H?>r Occupied Territory
Ou-r Wide Area
a
The flames of war continue to I
spread to the far corners of the world |
and trouble is brewing in South Am
erica, the recent trend of events
bringing ever closer to American
shores the battle between totalitar
ianism and democracy. A serious
trend as it relates to the United
States is reported today in the Indo
China territory which the Japanees <
are invading. Japan has asserted its
power against the French govern
ment there, and threatens to exter
minate any and all opposition. China
is demanding certain considerations,
and England and the United States
are planning today to take parallel
steps in checking penetrations by the
Japanese beyond certain points.
The war moved yesterday to the
nearest point between Africa and
the South American coast and direct
ly across from Uruguay where not
all is in perfect harmony. General
DeGaulle, noble leader of independ
ent Frenchmen, backed by British
warships is attempting to enter the
port of Dakar in French West Africa
today. The success of the venture is
not known, but one report states
that loyalty to the puppet French
government is measured in terms of
distance from the puppet govern
ment's headquarters in subjugated
France. It was also reported ? that
French colonial possessions could be
depended upon to follow the De
Gaulle leadership and help England.
However, the French were said to
be offering right much resistance at
Dakar and that they might lead air
attacks on English possessions in
cluding Gibraltar.
Late reports state that DeGaulle
has withdrawn from the port to pre
sent continued clashes
War activities on other fronts are
being accelerated, and extensive
damage has followed mass raids on
German and German-held territory.
One of the longest and most damag
ing raids of the war was directed by
members of the British air force over
Germany last night. Fir?s that could
be seen for 80 miles were burning
before the raid was ended after a
four-hour period. Four German ships
were sunk in the Channel by the
Royal Air Force. Reprisal raids were
being made by Nazi planes, but it is
apparent from the reports that dam
age done to factories and railway
centers in and near Berlin was far
greater than that inflicted upon Eng
land last night and early today
Estimated losses to German forces
prowling around in the English
Channel on practice barges have
been placed as high as SO,000 men,
not to mention the property dam
age.
A black spot in the reports came
over the week-end in the announce
ment of the sinking of a Canadian
refugee ship which was torpedoed
by a German submarine about 700
milss out in the Atlantic. Nearly 300
lives, including almost 100 children,
were lost.
Attention of this country is be
ing centered in the Indo-China area
where late reports state that the
French are offering the Japanese a
bitter fight in the invasion of that
French colonial possession. Japan
ese casualties were heavy in fight
ing during the early part of today,
and the French were reported hold
ing their own.

-The election of community Com
mittee for administering the soil con- {
servation program will be held in
the various districts next week, it
was announced in the office of the j
county agent this week. The elections
have been scheduled as follows:

each community and a delrgatr and
alternate from each unit to the
county convention where a county
committee will be named. All farm
era who have cooperaed with the

vited and urged to support the men
of their choice The committee places
are open to all farmers who have

Prices Are Stronger
On Loeal Leaf Market
Quarter Million
Pounds Are Sold
Here On Monday

Williamston is rapidly paining
ground in the marketing of leaf to
bacco. Sales Supervisor K B. Craw
ford stating this morning that one
of thi* largest and one of the very
best sales of the season was held
here yesterday. "General market av
erages are not high, to be sure, but
tobacco of any quality is really sell
ing good here," Mr Crawford said
With prices ranging up to 3(1 cents
a pound for bonafide sales, the mar
ket handled 258,438 pounds yester
day for an average in excess of 17
cents a pound. Individual averages
for whole barns were reported at
33 cents. Averages between 25 and
30 cents were numerous. However,
there was a large quantity of infer-,
ior tobacco offered, especially tips
and those leaves next to the tips, and
the prices for these types while hold
ing firm were not on the high side
"Those types don't seem to have a
friend in the world," a farmer re
marked, "but I did very well with
my sale," he added I
Farmer after farmer, questioned
here during the past few days, de |
flare that tobacco is selling just as
high in Williamston as it is on any
market, that they have successfully
marketed their crop here with great
er advantage than they could have
expected on other markets Sales
have run smoothly and there has
been very little delay in the ached
ules.
In a semi-official statement issued
by a well known buyer, it was an
thentically pointed out that tobacco
prices are holding a slight edge on
the Williuiusluu market, that grade
comparisons show the local market
holding an advantage.
That there have been variations
111 individual sales are admitted and
are to be expected However, a lit
tie story heard here last week speaks
highly of the Williamston market
Leaving one of the warehouses earl
ier in the week, a tobacco former
waved goodbye to the proprietors,
and explained that be bad sold Ins
last pound of tobacco with them La
ter in the week, the same farmer re
turned with a big load of tobacco,
and explained that he had visited
one of the large markets and had
learned hts lesson. "They almost
burned me out," the farmer was
quoted as saying, "and I am back
to stay," he added.
Strange as it may seem, farmers
are nut complaining about tobacco
prices, and it is an established fact
that farmers in large numbers are
voluntarily stating that prices on
Williamston's tobacco market are
holding an advantage
Today, the market is selling well
over 100,0(10 pounds with prices hold
ing to the level reached on what Su
pervisor Crawford explained was
one of the most successful sales of
the season yesterday.
Farmers were here yesterday from
-ten counties, the number including
several from the Rocky Mount
area It was poitned out today that
'With some very few exceptions far
mers are selling their entire crops'
here this season and not offering i
their inferior grades on this market
and carrying their better quality to
bacco to other markets.
