HUNTERS WARNED
TO BUY STAMPS
Law Requires Waterfowl Hunters To
Purchase $1 Stamp; Violation
Subject To Fine
Every hunter over 16 years of age
is now requested to have in his pos
session a migratory-bird huntig
stamp while hunting wildfowl. This
is required by an act of Congress ap
proved by President Roosevelt which
became effective June 16, 1934, and
is designed to aid in the program for
restoration of migratory waterfowl.
Stamps cost $1 and can be pur
chased at post offices in all county
1 seats, in all cities having a population
of 2500 or more and at other points
convenient to waterfowl centers.
Hunting without a stamp is un
lawful and punishable by a fine of
1 SSOO or by imprisonment for not
1 more than six months or both fine
1 and imprisonment. The stamp does
1 not exempt hunters of migratory
1 fowl from complying with state laws
! and federal regulation. The stamp
is not transferable.

CHOWAN FARMERS
APPEARJIPTIMISTIC
Tobacco Growers Signed
100 Per Cent On
Contracts
At the present time Chowan
County farmers are in good spirits.
Apparently the good prices being
paid for tobacco has reflected a spirit
of optimism and, coupled with pros
pects for good prices for cotton and
peanuts, everything seems' to be on
the up-and-up.
Eight thousand dollars have been
received by Chowan farmers as the
first payment for rental of cotton
lands, and another is expected about
October 1. Two thousand dollars
have also been received as the first
payment on tobacco land rental. An
other payment for tobacco is expect
ed in October.
Four hundred and seventeen Cho
wan farmers, or 85.1 per cent, have
signed up on the cotton contract,
while 634 farmer shave signed up
for the allotment plan.
The tobacco farmers of the county
have signed up 100 per cent on to
bacco contracts, 43 having placed
their names on the dotted line. Last
year about 144 acres were planted in
tobacco, while this year approximate
ly 300 acres have been planted.
While a good price is anticipated
for peanuts, nothing definite is
known at present what the price will
be. The marketing agreement with
the peanut cleaners has expired and
up to now nothing has been done in
the matter. Information relative to
some action in regard to peanuts is
expected almost any time.
There are also 112 com and hog
contracts signed in Chowan. The
hog contract calls for a 25 per cent
reduction over the 1932-1933 aver
age number of hogs raised for mar
ket. Under the contract the gov
ernment pays sls per head for the
number reduced and this should net
around $20,000 to be received by the
farmers.
Parity payments on cotton and to
bacco will also be received after the
crops are harvested and sold, which
. will net about $5,000 for cotton and
s2,so(F* , <^r>tobacco.
AH in all farmers gene*
optimistic and feel that there is j ]
somewhat of a brighter future

Bill Ferebee Registers
Fourth Consecutive
Victory
The Edenton Colonials took a 4 to
3 decision over the Williamston Mar
tnis yesterday afternoon at Williams
ton to pull up on even terms with
the Martins, who dropped the Colo
nials in the Albemarle League series
opener at Williamston Monday after
noon.
After being held to a tie by the
Martins on Sunday in a five inning
game halted by rain and losing to
the Martins Monday 8 to 3, the Co
lonials came back strong in yester
day’s tilt to top the Martins as Bill
Ferebee registered his fourth straight
victory over Bill Spivey’s boys. In
turning in the win Ferebee fanned
eight and bore down with men on
the bags. The Martins gathered a
total of ten hits to outhit the Colo
nials but 10 Williamston runners
were left stranded on the bases.
Over 700 fans saw the Colonials
hop on “Doc” Kugler for three runs
in the opening inning and were nev
er overtaken. Kugler allowed Eden
ton but eight safe blows but two
costly errors paved the way to his
defeat.
With one out in the first inning,
Jimmy Partin slashed a double into
right center, Joe Weebb was hit by
a pitched ball and Brake dropped
Suttenfield’s fly to load the sacks.
Two runs scored on an outfield fly
by Henry House and an error by
Herring, and Herbert Leary lined a
single to right to drive across the
third tally.
The Martins scored one in the
fourth on two singles and an error
by House, Edenton’s only miscue of
the game, and another came in the
fifth on singles by Herring, Uzzle
and Taylor.
With only a one run lead the Colo
nials managed to send home their
j fourth marked in the seventh on two
i singles and an infield out.
Bill Spivey sent Gardner in to bat
(for Kugler to open the ninth and he
promptly doubled down the right
field foul line to throw a scare into
j the locals. Ferebee bore down to
strike out Earp for the second time
during the afternoon and forced Gay-,
lord to ground out to the infield, but
Leon Brogden poked a single to cen
ter, scoring Gardner. Brogden rr.e v
ed to second with the typing run on
the throw to the plate, but Brake
lifted a fly to Pratt in left for the
final out.
Corbitt and Earp displayed a sen
sational brand of shortstopping, each
turning a one sparkling play and
Earp handling nine chances in per
fect style. v
Joe Webb, House and Leary slam
j med out two hits each for the Cols
! as did Brogden, Uzzle and Taylor
: for the Martins.
The teams meet here today at 4
:p. m. in the third match of the ,
| series and with the standing of one
j victory for each team, baseball goers
! may expect a battle royal as “Gy"
j Olgers,, local Ne-Hi manager, will
j go to the hill to oppose Slim Gard
! ner in a continuation of Sunday’s
battle which was halted by rain with
the score tied at two all in the fifth
inning. In event the series does not
come to an end this week, Manager
Graham Byrum most likely will se .J
