Overman Attends
Tobacco Meeting
Latest Information on
Better Production
Discussed
C. W. Overman attended the tobacco
workers’ conference held at N. C.
State College Tuesday through Thurs
day of last week.
Representatives of the Eastern
States, -from Florida to Massachusetts,
and some inland states were in at
tendance. These included state and
federal research workers, representa
tives of tobacco companies, Extension
tobacco personnel, many county agents
and several representatives from for
eign countries. The purpose of this
conferenee Was to give these workers
the latest information on better tobac
co production.
The program was divided into four
sections which were agronomy, di
sease, insect control and engineering.
A full schedule of each one of these
four sections was running simultane
ously most of the time. A few of the
meetings included all four groups.
Due to this set-up it was necessary
for Mr. Overman to select and attend
parts in each of these four sections
which he felt would give him the best
information to fit the problems and
do a better job in Chowan County.

Rocky Hock Defeats
Hobbsville 2 To 0
(Continued From Page Otne)
Layton was hit by a pitched ball and
Powell hit a neat double with Layton
going to third. Jack White hit a slow
grounder to Herman, who had diffi
culty in picking up the ball and Lay
ton raced home and it was too late to
cut off White at first. Rocky .Hock
had three men on base later in the
inning, but Elbert Bunch fanned to
end the scoring threat.
\ In the eighth Douglas Leary, who
made two of Rocky Hock’s five hits,
doubled but was nipped at third try
ing to stretch it into a triple. El
bert Bunch then tripled, but was tag
ged ont when he stepped off the base
while the third baseman had the ball.
The game was well played through
out and attracted a goodly number of
fans.
Rocky Hock will play a doublehead
er with Weeksville NAS on Hicks
Field Saturday night. The first game
will start at 6:30 o’clock, but Mana

of the town’s books have commented
1 upon the splendid shape of Miss

there been any complaint. She is well
versed on the revenue act, which many
times eliminated arguments or compli
cations.
Several others in attendance also
paid tribute to Miss Coke’s ability as
a tax collector, two of whom, J. N.
Pruden and J. H. Conger, she taught
in the second grade.

J. Clarence Leary presented her a gift
from the official family. It was a
beautiful silver service tray, and was
gratefully accepted by the guest of
honor. Miss Coke in a few brief re
marks said she has had wonderful co
operation on the part of town officials
throughout the years, which played a
large part in making her job more
pleasant.
No successor to Miss Coke has been
named, for arrangements have been
made for Town Clerk Ernest Ward
and his assistant, Miss Celia Spivey,
to perform the duties with the possi
bility of employing extra help during
special rush periods.
