His one outward sign of infirmity is shown when he cups his hand to his ear to hear. He is interested in everything, especially in the 'Sandhills. / He said, “I’m nearly blind, deaf, but not dumb.” He is a staunch Dem ocrat and follows State politics closely. “The principles of Democracy are immortal,” he said, “and, any thing in the line of prosperity that comes to North Carolina or to the United States comes through the Democratic Party.” strict Presbyterian. His long life he attributes to his hard work and a.strist adherence to the religious principles of the Presbyterian Church. He said, “It, is the only form of church government that was copied by political government; it’s repre sentative, you know.” Many of the older folks may well remember Mr. Poole from the publicity he received during the 1925 term in the General Assem bly. He ^troduced the resolution “That the teaching of evolution in the public tax-paid schools of North Carolina be prohibited.” He said he was not the author of the resolution, but presented it as a favor to Captain Black, an evan gelist sand chairman of the Bible Society of Charlotte. He. went on to say, “The ac- ceptance'-of evolution as a correct lienee is inconsistent .in Itself; fo]?'it disputes the dqstFine of c^tioii, otT shows lib necessity ;jfS^fiety i went tivoogb tlvee or four times.* Be knew work tram an age,'he said,"^“f |15 A month for four" or Ihre yean be fore il left home.” In one at his cdluinns he says, ’T waliq^ 8b miles during one week, cii't'rtim- ber and split. one thousand 10- •fort rail, , Another of his colamns tells of his working, as stfo^f^te, mail carrier for his brother, John.

But he did reluctantly.'! was small for my age.” Poole left home at the age of 22, as was ffle custom of his gen eration, and began - “driving a wagon” for his grandfather, W, B. Holiday. This job was hauling resin to the turpentine stills. He would go to school and study when he could. One year he saved enough to go to school for half a year, (he intended to go to college but never made it), and studied under Uncle Dan’l Clark, who taught school at Jack- son Springs. He farmed one year but all the time he was preparing himself for a certificate to teach school. At the age of 26 he married Sally Ray, a girl of 16. They lived together for 64 years until her death last November. He said^ ■We had one son aiid four daugh ters; my wife was. pretty and there were no prettier, girls than our daughters. I now have three granddaughters and two grand sons.” After his marriage he taught school at Maxton,“ Rennert, Shan non, St. Pauls and Red Springs. •He told of one incident during his teaching career. There was a little girl about 10 years old who had not learned her alphabet due to her intermittent attendance. Poole taught her not only the al phabet, but carried her through the first reader in 19 days. He said the little girl had trouble learning the letter “Q” and he made her punch out all the “Q’s” in a newspaper column. ‘She learned ‘Q’ without any further trouble,” he said. While at Red Springs, 1894 and 1*895, he begdn his career as a journalist by starting The Scotch Scion. He began his first news paper without any money. He col lected in advance for advertising which gave him enough money to pay for the printing. He had the paper printed in Atlanta by the Western Newspaper Union and dated for Saturday delivery. Later he moved to Troy where he taught school and ran a news paper, too. Ih 1896 re was princi pal of the school at Wadeville. He went back to Troy to rim a news paper for two years. In 1904 he had a newspaper at Rockingham. He said, “1 played the fool mov ing around.” Finally on March 15,. 1905, in Raeford he started his newspaper Facts and Figures which he sold to Fred Johnson in 1'911 or '1912. It was changed to The Hoke County Journal under the direction of Byron Butler. In 1915 Mr. Poole came back to Rae ford to run this paper until his retirement in 1928. This time he sold the paper to Paul Dickson who consolidated it with his own Hoke County News. The present name of the paper in Raeford is The Hoke Countv News Journal. ifl» tune fkie.

The 1948-49 fiscal yoar disappearance, both foreign anil domestic, totaled I,10O,(XMyi99 iwunds, and the carry-over foar- July 1, 1949, will be 1,540,000^ 000, practically the same as Ihe July 1, 1948, carry-over.” “The quotas as already an nounced for 1949, and computed on the average yield of the past three years, anticipate this year's crop total as 1,090,OCO,000 poumis. However, I anticipate that tte 1949 yield will be substantiaHy above that figure.’’ “Stabilization Corporat km stocks on hand total 162,06OA8D pounds. Adding these stocks to the 1949 yield anticipated by the Department of Agriculture, the total supply available will be I,- 252,000,000 pounds.” “The Tobacco Branch reports that possible market requirements for 1949 are 750,000,000 pounds in domestic trade ahd 400,000,000 to 450,000.000 pounds in exports. I want to emphasize that the fi gure for expected exports is qb the optimistic side.” . “I realize the necessity for maintaining European markets as far as possible. However, we have always had and do now have sat- ficient stocks to meet require ments fo these markets. I am un willing to have quotas and pro duction increased in 1949 mere ly on hopes of maintaining or in creasing exports to these mar kets when the result will be de- .trimental to the growers. We have been given, no definite assurances that there will actually be any material increase in exports in 1949”. ' “Therefore, I can see no pos sibility of any shortage if quotas remain as, announced. If quotas are increased beyond the 5 per cent already announced, it will result in the Stabilization Corpo ration being required to take a much larger percentage of toe 1949 crop, thereby placing toe corporation and the growers a the same unfavorable position they experienced in 1947-” D— COMMITTEE KILLS PENNY REFERENDUM He could not resist the urge to continue writing.
