County Agent C. W. Overman spoke
on sulphur dusting, the recent rat
campaign and seed treatment of pea
| nuts. Expressions from 55 of those
present revealed that the rat cam
[ paign killed a large number of rats,
with the number varying among those
reporting, some expressing the belief
that they got rid of most of the rats
about their premises in last fall’s
campaign.
Sulphur dusting of peanuts claimed
particular attention. John Saunders,
Gurney Forehand and R. C. Holland
presented brief summaries of sulphur
j dusting peanuts on their farms and
their personal opinions bearing on the
subject.
It appears that every dusting ma
chine available to the county has been
purchased and that the county is
headed for a considerable increase of
! the use of this practice this year, pos
sibly as much as 40% of the crop.

Q. Is a concrete floor all right for
a chicken bouse?
A. Yes, a concrete floor, if proper
ly constructed, will be as dry and
satisfactory as any other type of |
floor, and has the added advantages ’
of being easy to clean and very long
lasting. A concrete floor will also
help keep rats out of the poultry
house.
Q. Are acorns poisonous to cattle?
A. The acorns are less poisonous
than the leaves. If eaten in large (
quantities, both might cause symp- ,
toms of a digestive disorder, poor
appetite, and gradual loss of weight :
There is no effective treatment.
Recognition of the cause and re- 1
moval of animals from woodland
pastures will usually result In com
plete recovery.

Marsh and W. A. Harrell, represen
tatives attending the State Executive
Farm Bureau meeting, arrived in time
to give a report, which was based
largely on the urgent need of a larger
membership for 1948.
R. C. Holland presented a report i
of the resolutions committee concern
ing the government's proposed 40%
cut in the agriculture appropriation.
J. E. Baker, president, introduced
Peter Carlton, executive secretary of
the Chamber of Commerce, who told
the members that the Chamber of
Commerce is as much interested in the
farmer’s welfare as it is those who
live in town, stressing the fact that in
unity both groups have a better
chance to progress.

|YOUR ATTENTION, PIEASE!j
On May 6th citizens of Edenton will have the opportunity
and privilege, and in fact the sacred duty, to elect thear Town |
. officials who will serve in office for the next y . ea *’?;. * l aln Y
> one of 20 candidates seeking 11 offices to be filled in this elec- |
> tion. I have spoken to quite a number of my friends and have X
> been assured of their vote and support, and some support has 4>
> been promised me unsolicited. It is impossible for me to con- |
£ tact every voter in my own behalf, so I am making this state- y
> ment in order that every voter casting his or her ballot for me f (
> will know that it will be greatly appreciated. |
I am seeking re-election not that I have "an axe to grind a
l nor am I prompted by any selfish personal reasons whatever. 4
> My first visit to Edenton was just about a quarter of a century |
i? ago, when I came by urgent request to put into running condi- &
tion a linotype machine for the late R. G. Shackel, who was in Y
a dilemma at the time due to inability to get type set for the I
I Edenton Daily News, owned by members of the Chamber of 4
Commerce. 1 had not the slightest intention of remaining in |
Edenton after I had completed the favor for my friend. How- I
ever, I at once became attached to the Town and won many |
friends in the short while I was repairing the typesetting ma- |
J chine. In the intervening years 1 have made a host of dear
friends, whose friendship 1 would not exchange for any amount Y
’ of worldly goods. As the years passed, my adopted home
town became more dear to me, and while I have not accumu- Y
lated great wealth, I have had the satisfaction of rearing a |
I family and enjoyed living far better than I believe I would
> have had if I had accepted a number of positions offered me Y
which were far more lucrative. For the genuine pleasure I
have had by living in Edenton and the splendid friends I have
' made, I feel that I owe a debt in way of service to the Town
I love. I have served with the official family of the Town for <•■
ten years, during which time I have been serious and conscien- Y
’ tious concerning the honor and duties it involved. I have glad-
ly sacrificed time and effort which on more than one occasion <•
’ was more or less detrimental to my personal business. As a Y
Councilman and in the capacity of Street Commissioner. I have 4
been fair, playing no favorites. I have given just as much
thought and attention to complaints and requests from the
poorest person in Town as those who are in far better financial
circumstances, and take some degree of pride in the fact that Y'
no little progress can be pointed out in connection with the %
j work of the Street Department. 4
■ I am a taxpayer both for personal real estate and business X
purposes, so that I am as keenly interested in as low a tax
F, rate as any present member of the Board or any other candi- |
£ date seeking office. It may be possible to reduce the present X
tax rate, but I am not willing to agree with the pre-election 4
propaganda that because the tax rate was SI.OO ten or fifteen |
years ago that it should be that low or even lower now. I do
£ not intend to try to fool any voter, for the exercise of just a Y
? little common sense is necessary to realize that the value of
| a dollar has shrunk considerably within the last few years. Is y
I there any individual or business man who does not pay far |
more for living expenses and carrying on a business now than
|> was the case ten or fifteen years ago? Operation of the Town’s Y
£ affairs is a business and not unlike any other business, so that X
J, unless funds are available, its various branches will suffer,
and if there is no progress, the Town is going backward, for x
there is not such a thing as standing still. I am in favor of a-■
reasonable amount of progress in keeping with sound financing Y
•> to the end that Edenton may not only be a better place for us %
F to live, but that it may also be a better place to live for those
who follow us. X
I feel that my past record as a member of Town Council
S> should justify the consideration of voters in this election. If 4
re-elected. I shall deem it a sacred trust and will continue my
£ efforts to render the best service of which I am capable. To 4
this end. 1 solicit your vote on Tuesday, May 6th.
