"IN 1932"
Scene ? Mrs. Sam Boddle's Home.
Time ? Friday night. May 19, 1932.
Characters ? Louisburg High School
Seniors of Class '22.
Setting ? A Class banqnet commemo
rating the tenth anniversary of their
graduation .
The table around which this happy
party sat had for its centerpiece a
large crystal bowl of Lavender and
White Sweet peas. The decorations
were alternate streamers of lavender
and white crepe paper fluttering in
the breeze from the ceiling to each
guests place. Attached to the end of
these streamers were attractive little
place cards, hand painted with a tiny
Senior in cap and gown . The person
age in this congenial group were the
loyal members of Class '22 In the
Louisburg High School. The topic uh
der discussion. Can. you imagine what
this would be on such an occasion?
A buzz of admiration goes around
the table as Annie Willis, our former
class president. arose In her character
istic stately manner, to as efficiently
fill the capacity of toastmiBtrees on
this auspicious occasion as in former
days she had fulfilled the Chief "rt
tives mission to us. Her four years
at St. Mary's had ended as all things
do for Annie Willis- ? in a culmination
of merited honors in all lines. Her
six years since had only accentuated
her olden charms and versatility as
she presided at our class meetings of
long ago. "Now, she said, has one of
my fondest dreams been realized for
I have never dared hope that we could
ever be together as a class once more.
The ten years since we disbanded have
brought varied experiences to us all.
Since graduating from College I had
two consecutive years study at Colum
bia University completing my course
in Journalism. For four years I've
been connected with the American
Magazine staff and as yoft know with
my office in Camden, New Jersey.
I've already told you what thoroughly
fascinating work It is. Now, I want
to know what you others have been
doing. The Class letters have been
such pleasures to me and yet they
were so unsatisfactory for in them you
always told me just enough about your
selves to make mo hungry for you and
want to know everything. Let's have
a 'sperience meeting bow when every
fellow tells what he's been doing since
we saw him or her last. Emma Law
rence tell these folks how much you
have enjoyed teaching piano in Co-*
lumbus, Ga."
"Well, girls, began Emma Lawrence
It's lust like this. School teaching Is
One after all. I've been in Georgia
for three years now and I've caught
the fever too. With the exception of
Loulsburg thht's the garden spot of
tin world.'"
Yea, sir, chimed In Maurice I" agree
vlth you there. My four years In the
University of Georgia was 'exactly
what I nMdtd to make that Electrical
EggjB*M*T>e wanted to be so long .
Huffln. tell as how you like the life
of a Lawyer. I'd a never be-.leved ten
years ago that you would ever get oft
of your dignity enough to wrangle
ovar osaea In the court room. And
they tell me that you met your adver
sary Reuben in one hard fought case.
I'll bet that was a scrap. Ill tell the
world I'd like to have seen and heard
It.
RufTln said, "A* shaw, Rooder you
are always calling on me, about as
much as Miss Swing used to call on
on me In Virgil. I came here tonight
to liatao, not to talk. Make Kffln Tay
lor tall us the newa. , She's the one
who did the talking in school.
Effle arose from her chair with a
calm, serene dignity almost astound
ing In Ita nature to us who knew her
of old. "That's all right, R-uffln
Stamps. sit years In John Hopkins has
been a training worth while In (ny
learning to be silent at the right time.
I've practiced not annoying people un
til I feel like I've been walking on
Miss Jodlee hardwood floors for six
years. But I did let loose and have
one good time at the Hospital when
Ohidya QUI was brought as a patient
Into my ward two years ago. It was
the first time I had seen that child

America, who are tobacco farmers
elected by their fellow growers of to

When 475 warehouses of the organ

who have failed to sign the contract
must trust their crop to the auction
warehouses for another year, accord
ing to the directors.
The minority of growers in three
States who are waiting to see what the
auction system will do with their to
bacco this year becomes smaller by
hundreds every day.
Since thousands ?<>f Eastern Caro
lina growers heard the message of
Aaron Saplro and the doors of four
big warehouse towns swung open in
JEastern North Carolina the campaign
has taken on new life.
Several Eastern North Carolina coun
ties have now passed an 80 per cent
sign-up and intense campaigning con

of the Eastern Carolina counties to
more than 75 per cent of their produc

Celebrating the successful sign-up
of 85 per cent of Surry county, tobacco
thousands of farmers from six coun-*
ties staged a Tnammoth meeting at
Elkin, N. C., last Saturday where Oli

MAKEETETG.
A few days ago I noticed an article
in the Newa-Observ*r written by Mr.
Shirley which made me think of a eon
venation- 1 heard between two tJW*i
ing men who were of different ?/n
lon from Mr. Shirley. One o I them
remarked "Why don't the farmer* or
ganize and put a price on their pro
ducts?" That would give them a fctr ?
profit. The other said you oooM not
get the farmers to -nrganiao. Thar
were too Ignorant. ThSy wen too
afraid-. They could not trust any mm
enough. They would lose wbaf #wr
put In it. They said of coanrtt^M
the only thing to insure staple prims.
They said we know when we leaw oar
offices what we are going to ft- for
our goods., .We- don't ask ottifr toi
low what he will give us, bat wo jtro
him the price we must have or Mae
we pass him by. Mr. 3 htr ley mid
farmers owe supply merchant*. Very
true. Lots .of them owe more tkan
they can pay. Why? Because of
selling below cost of production. It
farmers had what they have lost by
falling markka in the last fire years
I dare say "they could pay every ant
they ~SWW~. t.very farmer who baa
sold much tobacco has seen tobacco
prices fall 1-3 or nearly half in two
weeks time and rise again. It you
sold on right day you were lucky if
not you were Just out that much. Some
time one pile of tobacco sells for 1-3
more than another of same quality.
This tobacco goes .back to consumer
at same price. Who gets the differ
ence? Would that not help pay sup
ply merchant and lift mortages? Mr .
Shirley said the officers vTould stop
canvassing If they were not paid. To
be sure, who expects them to work
for nothing. Nebody does that except
farmers. If the farmers have no se
curity for tobacco turned over to them
why does Kentucky banks loan aa high
| as 50 per eent on receipt for amount
| they enter. They must have some se
curity or Kentucky bankers are poor
I business men. Farmers you owe It
to yourselves to look into this matter
and consider it carefully before turn
ing it down . Just think have the men
who are fighting this movement ever
helped pay the supply merchant or
mortgage or have they given you tha
profit you should have had in the past.
You can hardly do worse and you
might help some. Don't let men of
other professions say you are foola
always. If so let it be trying to do
! something . . I feel that this is your
! opportunity after losing money all
! these/years . You can afford to lose
ja few more dollars if necessary. Don't
I let any one freighton you off but join ,
I and make the Association what it
'should be if it is not.
