" ' WHY CAN'T OUR FARMERS GET BUSY?
Why can our farmers not get busy and bring the guano con
cerns a just price for fertilizer? There is no reason why fertilizers
which ld in 1933 for $16.50 per ton up ,to $19.00 per ton selling in
1935 for from $30.00 up per ton. It looks like a gross monoply. The
salesmen themselves who canvas the farmers for orders all admit that
it is to high but say thy can do nothing about it as all dealers are
under the code. I am calling upon Senator Bailey to tell us througn
the columns of this paper who dominates the price fixing for fertili
zers. We hopt the Senator -is friend enough to agriculture to try to
correct' this' very unjust extortion upon the farmers. The disparity
between the price of tobacco and that of fertilizers is a plain piece of
robbery of the farmers and should be corrected before another crop
is planted. Qp. MAXWELL. '"""""N

(written ny
v MISS HATTIE P ABBOTT)
- In March 1910 Squire (George)
Turner conceived the Idea of the
first school -at Pink Hill. The
length t of term of rural t public
schools at that time was four
months, After the public schools
closed, a private school was apened
at Pink Hill, taught' by a teacher
from an adjoining county. A salary
of $10 per month, was guaranteed
ly, Squire Turner. There was an
enrollment 01 twenty pupus, ana
an average attendance of 15 per
day at JSc each. The teacher in
charge averaged a salary of $15
per month and . taught .for three
months. ' '
In the fall of 1910 the same tea
cher came back and taught for 2
months on the same terms as a-.
bove. When it was time for ..the
public schools to open ,thls teacher
had a regular four months' school
at a better salary, so her sister
took charge of the pupils at Pink
Hill. ,;-7;:y..,a,i4.J
From ... this 'point the narrative
continues as recorded in the min
utes of the proceedings , of the
County Board of Education quot-i
ed as follows: ,
"On October 3, 1910 a petition
was presented to the County Board
of Education for a division of Pink
Hill district No. 3 (knows as the
Worley district). Also a petition
was made ' from the - citizens of
Pink Hill for the per capita of
those children of 'district No. 3
near the town of .Pink Hill who
may attend the school in Uw town
of Pink Hill.
"July 3; 1911 the County Board
of Education v' met .and ordered
that the per capita of 30 children
in district No. 3 Pink Hill Town
ship attending the Pink Hill School
according to the report of the tea
cher be paid to George Turner.
This took care of the teachers' sa
lary for the four months mention
ed above. '
"A tow months' private school
followed In the spring of 1911. ,
"On June S, 1911 a special meet
ing of the board was held. A 1 U
tion for a special tax district at
Pink Hill was presented, and grant
ed. The' election for 'same was
held and carried for Special Tax.
"On August 7, 1U the . County
Board met in regular session with
visions of some means of transpor-
itation of ' pupils to and from
'school
un January a, xvio un citizens
of Pink Hill made application, to
the County Board for a State High
School, exhibiting pledgee of relia
ble citizens to the amount of more
than $1200.00 (later raised -to
$1400.00) and exhibiting futher an
offer in writing from reliable pro
perty holders of a tract of land in
the town of Pink Hill, containing
not less than four acres and f urth-

"It was ordered that a voucher
for $676.00 be issued to George
Turner on execution of a proper
deed for a school house and lot of
not les athan one acre of land on
which the school house now stands
in school district No. 5, Pink HiU
Town and Pink Hill Township. The
Board of Education agreed to pay
one-half of the purchase price and
that the remaining ("hah .was . to
be deducted from any money com
ing to that district from the coun
ty school funds or Special Tax,"
Dr. J. M Parrott was keenly in
terested in the project and: decoted
much time to Its developments
- The first school was taught in
this district and in the above men
tioned building by one teacher in
the fall of 1911-1912.;8oon the at
tendance increased, and two teach
ers were employed. (Squire Turner
was the promoter of schools and
educational interests of the town
until his death in the' summer of
1915. He was succeeded In thls
work hy his son, T.'A. Turner!)
The two-room school was used for
five years. 1 ' '''
The territory Included In this
Special Tax district was the prop
erty was the property ,, of those
who wanted to come. In to the dis
trict Those who were opposed to
the tax were not asked to come in.
Soon these saw the advantages of
a longer school term and asked, to
be taken in. r ,
. Again we quote from the minu
tes of the meeting of the Board of
Education in 1911. , . .
"Squire Turner was one of the
first to propose consolidation , to
the Superintendent of PuBHcy In
struction and to the Trustees of
the Special Tax district No. 5. That
the Board of Education appropria
tes out of the building fund not
less than 11000 for the erection
and equipment of a State High
Schoold Building at Pink Hilt And
the Board of Education further or
ders an annual appropriation' of a
sum lot less than S250 for the
maintenance of the High School.
And the Board further agrees to
use Its best efforts' to obtain from
the state authorities a loan of the
sum of money to be used in ''the
construction of the pulldihg? And
the Board further agrees to make
its best efforts to make the High
School a part of the', system r of ,
High Schools, at the earUest possi
ble moment A building committee
chosen to select site, dispose of old
school property, 'and have' the new
building erected was appointed." (
;This action of the Board of Ed
ucation was indeed miHng bistorv
the first high school at a 'rural
point In Lenoir County was 1 about
to be established. This was the in-
torlum upstairs. This was first us
ed in the fail of 1916? This sufficed
for 'five years. But the school was
destined to grow, and the -spring
of 1921 brought. forth a new sit
uation, Pink Hill school was rapid
ly growing In popularity with the
neighboring school districts.
"On April 4, 1921 Pink Hill went
before the Board again this time
asking for consolidation with con
tiguous territory In both 1 Lenoir
and Duplin counties. The superin
tendent and- trustees were to In
vestigate and decide on : suitable
boundaries. This was done, and the
Board also made necessary arran
gements for the transportation of
those pupils who were not in walk
ing distant of the school. ..
' "At the May (1921) meeting of J
the Board a report was made that
all necessary steps for consolida
tion had been taxen. The election
was held for the Lenoir, part on
July 9, 1921. The auditorium of
the High School building was con
verted Into class rooms. Ten teach
ers were employed to take care of
the increase in enrollment. This
was th first school in the county
to consolidate with other districts
and was among the first in the sta
te.. This building was-used for the
Consolidated: High School until
1927. Duplin County . decided to
Withdraw, to a .school In ifa own

"On July 4, 1927 the Lenoir re
