Floyd, AAA executive officer at State- Col lege, is utging every affected farmer to cast his ballot in the two-crop re ferenda March 12. “We want to get a vote representa tive of the wishes of most growers,” Floyd declaired, “but we shall be handicapped unless every grower makes it a point to visit his commun ity polling place that day to vote either ye 3 or no on the quotas.” The balloting will be in charge of the county committee of the Agricul tural Conservation Association. Three farmers in each community will be appointed by the county committee to hold the polls in their township. Any grower who produced cotton or flue-cured tobacco will be eligible to cast his ballot. If he produced both crops, then he will be permitted to vote on both cotton and tobacco; otherwise', he can express his opinion only on that crop which he produced. A two-thirds majority will be ne cessary to put the 1938 quotas into effect. Tobacco and cotton quotas will be given each state, which will be. divided up among counties, and then among the farms of each county. * Mass meetings, of farmers at which representatives of the AAA office at State College will be present have been scheduled' for each of the 80 counties affected by the referenda.

Latest information received by The Herald from Senators R. R. Reynolds and J. W. Bailey and Representative Lindsey Warren quote Harllee Branch, second assistant postmaster general as follows: “The order reversing the services on the above route was issued on the assumption that changes would be made in the service on several rural routes at offices supplied by this star route, as suggested by one of our in spectors. However, we were subse quently advised by the Superintendent of the Division of Rural Mails that it was not practicable to make the pro posed rural changes at this time, it became necessary to rescind the order reversing the star route service in order to obviate any possible disrup tion of existing rural route sche dules.” Dr. Martin Wisely ' Now In Command Df Ambulance Unit - , Major Whichard Relin quishes Post to Enter Public Health Work INSPECTION General Metts Well Sat isfied With Armory Building- Official transfer of all property of Company F, 105th Medical Regiment, was made Monday, when Major M.

Hoey was princi pal speaker at the annual banquet of the organization. It was a grand occasion and a grand speech the State executive, who was in his best fettle, delivered, and the memory of j the gathering and the laudation of this community and of the great State in which we live will linger long in the thoughts of those who were present to enjoy it all. Governor Hoey chose no special subject upon which to speak, but in his usual fluent wnd smooth manner soon swung in on the subject closest to his heart, the commonwealth over which he is presiding so admirably. “North Carolina has arrived,” he de clared with vigor toward the conclu sion of his talk, “and with it all I covet a continuation of the North Carolina spirit which we should make our eternal ambition.” It is needless to say that by this and all else he said he “brought down the house,” and in the estima tion of his auditors justied his ear lier introductiyii by E. W. Spires as a fit and able sfuecessor to the m-,n now' occupying lie'White HeuSfe, to say nothing of being “the reincarnation of Abraham Lincoln.” The Governor took the salutation in good spirit, laughing heartily at Mr. Spires’ prognostications. From a civic' standpoint the Gov ernor’s appearance, the second visit he has paid Edenton officially during his term was a huge success. It crashed the State papers in fine big style, which of itself was selfishly gratifying, and it gave the populace a chance to see the dapper Clyde in all the glory of sartorial perfection, and later on to listen to his brilliant words of wisdom in the banquet hall of the Hotel Joseph Hewes and by the broadcast route to a large over flow gathering in the Court House. The Governor hit tow'n in his No. 1 car around 6 o’clock and after side- w r alk handshake with the reception committee during which he was be decked with a red rose bud, he took the greeters to Leggett and Davis drug store for a soda fountain apertif, afterward returning to the hotel for a brief rest. After the banquet he jumped into his car again and with the verve of a far more youthful ! man returned through the midnight hours to the executive mansion at Raleigh. Prior to the banquet there w r as a reception for the Governor in the hotel lobby at which a great number of the town’s fairest sex were on hand for a Hoey handshake, smile and word of greeting. And to add eclat to this the High School Band, (Continued on Page Eight) Auxiliary Meetings Now Held In Armory Members Asked to Note Change of Time and Place Members of the Auxiliary to the American Legion are especially urged to note the change in the place and time of meeting.
