Lions At Meeting Monday Proposed Having Paint-lip Clean-Up Week InEdenton No Date Set, But Com mittee Named to Ar range Plans TALK SOFT BALL Club Also Votes to Spon sor Carnival During Week of June 25 Though no program had been ar ranged for the Lions Club meeting Monday night, a considerable amount of business was transacted which easily consumed the allotted houi for the meeting. An item of interest was a report by J. Frank White, Jr., chairman of the committee having charge of the anniversary banquet last week, which was one of the most enjoyable affairs ever held by the club. A letter from Top Sergeant William (Spec) Jones was also read expressing appreciation for a large batch of magazines sent to Company D at Fort Jackson. Two very important features were favorably acted upon by the club, one the sponsoring of-a carnival and a paint-up and clean-up campaign to be held in Edenton. The carnival proposition was dis cussed pro and con for a considerable length of time, and when submitted to a vote, the club voted unanimously to sponsor a carnival by the Cres cent Amusement Company the week of June 25. A committee was ap pointed to have charge of the staging of the carnival and is composed of W. W. Byrum, chairman, Graham Byrum and Hector Lupton. Leroy Haskett advanced the idea of the club sponsoring a paint-up and clean-up campaign in Edenton and while no definite date was set for the project, a committee compos ed of Mr. Haskett, John Mitchener and Graham Bynun were appointed to set a date an<? work out details. Soft ball also came In for some discussion and though no definite plans have as yet been made by any clubs, the Lions appointed a commit tee composed of J. Clarence Leary, Ralph Parrish and W. S. Privott to meet with any other committee from organizations interested in playing soft ball to arrange a sche dule and formulate rules and regu lations in order to get started. The program for next week’s meet ing will be in charge of John Mitch ener, who has arranged to have County Agent C. W. Overman speak upon the proposed vote by growers for peanut marketing quotas.

C. Holland will be the principal speaker at today's Rotary meeting at 1 o’clock in the Parish House, Mr. Holland trading places with Rotarian C. W. Overman, who will speak next Monday night at the Lions Club meeting. Because of the great interest of both Holland and Overman in the peanut situation, each one will dis cuss the three-year marketing quota which will be voted upon by peanut growers on April 26. The plan to halt further expansion of peanut pro duction is of vital interest not only to farmers, but also to those who are in business and for that reason the subject should be of . much inter est to Rotarians and Lions. At today’s meeting another direc tor will also be elected by reason of the fact that three members were tied for the place at last week’s meeting.

Ripple In Political Waters As Gardner Hies For Treasurer Only Candidate to File For Office Up to Wednesday QUESTION MARK Rumors Have It That David Holton Will Seek Office A ripple in Edenton’s political wa ters resulted Tuesday when Henry Gardner filed with Town Clerk R. E. Leary as a candidate for treasurer in the city election to be held Tues day, May 6. Mr. Gardner is the first candidate to file, going through .the procedure to succeed himself on Tuesday mdming. To date comment on possible candi dates for mayor and councilmen is heard in spurts, sometimes it being predicted that a considerable amount of opposition will develop, and then again the belief is expressed that there will be no opposition to Mayor J. H. McMullan or to the various councilmen. It is rumored, however, that David Holton will file for office, but that he is uncertain if he will be a can didate for councilman from the Third Ward or councilman-at-large. It is rumored that if Leroy Haskett enters the race for Mayor, Mr. Holton will run for ward councilman, but if Mr. Haskett seeks re-election as council man from his ward, then Holton will run for councilman-at-large. Com ment also has been heard that Wal lace Jones, a former member of the Board, will enter the race for coun cilman-at-large. While Mayor J. H. McMullan has not yet filed for re-election, nor have any of the councilmen, it is expected that all will seek re-election and that they will file before the expiration of filing time on Saturday, April 26 There has been no mention heard of aspirants to the Board of Public Works, and while none of the three members have expressed their inten tion one way or the other, it is ex pected they will seek re-election.

Y. Floyd, AAA executive officer of N. C. State College. “Peanut growers of this State have been duly alarmed in re cent years by the increase in com mercial peanut acreage in other states to the South and West,” Floyd said. “They have requested the right to use quotas, similar to those pro tecting the tobacco and cotton mar kets.”. In 1928, the AAA officer reported, the North Carolina- Virginia area produced 46 percent of the commer cial peanuts in the United States. Last year they produced only 32.8 percent. Production in Georgia has increased from 315,000 acres in 1930 to 663,000 acres last year, and in Texas the increase has been from 120,000 acres in 1930 to 295,000 acres in 1940. During this same period North Carolina peanut produc tion has remained fairly steady, in creasing only from 205,000 acres in 1930 to 225,000 acres in 1940. Another advantage to be gained by quotas, Floyd said, is that the Government will support prices with a diversion program or loans, or both, if quotas are approved. If quotas are rejected, the law recently enacted by Congress prohibits a di version program or loans. The Government spent $10,000,000 in diverting surplus peanuts into oil in 1940, md without this price sup port Floyd said it is generally agreed that prices paid for edible nuts would have fallen to about the price of the oil market. If two-thirds of those voting ap prove the new peanut marketing plan, individual farm quotas for 1941 will be the actual production on the acreage allotment under the Agricul tural Conservation Program. Most North Carolina farmers have already received their Conservation Program allotments for 1941. “If peanut marketing quotas are voted into effect on April 26,” says C. W. Overman, Chowan County (Continued on Page Six). Dr. Tedder Begins Vaccinating Dogs On Monday, May 5 Prosecution Faces Those Who Fail to Comply With the Law Dr. P. W.
