PAGE TWO I Confetti | A SHORT SHORT STORY When big Bud Kehoe left Smith Corner and signed with the Carolina Artillery, little Paul Munds 16 going op 17, 5 feet 6, weight 120, could stand it no longer. Smith Comer was unbearable without Bud, 20 years, 6 feet, weight 160, hero to Paul and constantly followed around by him. So when the wheezing Model T came along flying the banner “Join the Artillery and Ride,” in hopped Paul and down to Raleigh he went, saying, “Eighteen, Sir,” to the man with as a gruff a voice as he could muster and screwing his cherubic countenance into a grotesque mimicry of manhood. Becoming the pet of the regiment •—the youngest in the outfit —Paul was assigned to learn the art of bugling and down at Sevier life was one continuous round of tooting away with 20 others, mercifully ordered miles into the woods. But Paul tired of sounding “rev eille” and “taps” and when Bsg Bud was made sergeant of the telephone detail he begged the Colonel and was transferred as a runner. . Over seas, in the training area, then to the front in August where, without relief, the regiment served •some 10 divisions —through all of this Paul went without a scratch. Then came November 10th, the day be fore the Armistice, when carrying a message from the Major to the bat fteries, he thoughtlessly left behind Pis gas-mask and in a little ravine in the rear of “D” battery, he whiffed just a wreath of poison, loosed by a 'German shell. Followed a slight cough, nothing to worry about, and finally back home and the great home-coming carnival in Durham, the air filled with confetti amid many-colored lights. “All we have and are is yours,” said the War Governor. Then back to Smith Comer, the cough becoming deeper and deeper and Paul goes to bed, weakened with the t. b. that the bite of the poison had started. Then the interminable life of one hospital after another for 15 years without improvement. Recently, he asked that he be re turned home, knowing that death was near. His mother awaits him, fixes him comfortably in bed. “Mother,” he said late that night, “I left here one old friend of my war days, my old blouse; it hangs in the closet.” He hugged it to him, hunting through the pockets for some fa miliar object. Suddenly with a great effort he jerks his hand up, waving it wildly over his head. A shower of confetti settles over him, confetti left in his blouse since that glorious night in Durham 15 years before, and as the tiny gaudy petals of paper slowly cover him, he sinks back on his pillow—dead. j COLORED NEWS j \ > Mrs. Nehemiah Holley of West Church street returned from her east ern trip.

Cotton Growers May Plant More Cotton Cotton growers who signed adjust ment contracts can prepare to plant more cotton in 1935, according to Charles A. Sheffield, of State College. The contracts provide that the maximum reduction that can be made next year will be 25 per cent below the base acreage and production. Sheffield added that the reduction may not be as much as the maxi mum allowed. This year the reduc tion averaged 38 peer cent in North Carolina. The maximum reduction that can be imposed in 1935, under the con tracts, upon a grower with a base of 20 acres will be five acres. This means that he will be able to grow 15 acres in 1935 instead of the 12 acres allotted him thiis year. Sheffield also expressed hope that the rental and benefit payments for next year would be larger than they were in 1934, but said that he could not state definitely what the pay ments will be until the details of the cotton program for 1935 have been developed in Washington. The program will be based on the j outlook for both domestic and for eign consumption and the amount of cotton carried over from this year. Sheffield also said that producers who have not signed contracts will be given another chance to do so be fore the 1935 program is started.

WOODARD This is another sketch in a series of write-ups about prominent Edep ton people 60 years ago, taken from “Historical and Descriptive Review of the State of North Carolina.” I J. A. Woodard, one of those bul warks of Edenton’s financial strength and prosperity, has been known as express and steamboat agent upwards of nineteen years. This fall, how ever, he resigned his post with the Southern Express Company. His steamboats connect with the Seaboard road at Franklin and do a large local and through freight and pas senger business. Mr. Woodard has been some eight years in fertilizers and sells all of the guano consumed in this county; he has bought cotton here for the last four years, consign ing to Norfolk merchants. For a similar length of time he has been extensively engaged in fishing on the Albemarle Sound; he runs nine “Dutch” nets, has three boats and handles between four and five hund red packages in the year. The catch consists chiefly of rock, shad, her ring and perch, which are shipped mostlv to New York, Baltimore and Philadelphia, the salt fish being sold in Richmond; he likewise doe 3 a con siderable loaning and collecting busi ness, mainly with and to farmers. Mr. Woodard has a broad and com prehensive grasp of business affairs; he is a native of Chowan County, though partly raised in Virginia; he has an easy and genial mannar which sits gracefully on the shoulders of those of responsibility and trust; he married in Norfolk, has a family of seven. He is a Mason and a mem ber of the Mission Baptist Church. W i » < > ;; I Eden ton Electric Shoe Shop;: II ii < > ( , j; Best Materials Expert Workmanship 3 If O :: ;; i: JULIAN WARD, Prop. ] I !! WE PAY POSTAGE ONE WAY NEW CERTIFICATES FOR 1935 SEASON New cotton tax-exemption certi ficates will be issued next year to growers who do pot use all their 1934 certificates, Dean I. O. Schaub, of State College, has announced. The Agricultural Adjustment Ad ministration will recall all certificates not used this year, he said, and ex change them for new certificates of a different color, if the Banklgjad act I is Continued in 1935. * The decision to re-is3ue surplus 1934 certificates in a different style from those for this year was reached after reports had been received that illegal trading of certificates Juts been going on. The use of new certificates next year will also help avoid confusion, Schaub pointed out, as there will then be no question about a grower having more certificates than his quota. Growers who purchased more cer tificates than they will use this year may also trade in their left-over cer tificates and get new issues next year, Schaub added. He observed that this ruling will not affect the right of growers to use their left’ over certificates next year; 1 it is only a precautionary measure | to check illegal trading and confu -1 sion. Schaub also said that a grower who does not have enough certificates | for all his cotton this year may hold it over and sell it under his next year’3 certificates if he prefers not to buy certificates this year from other growers.
