HfcU was falling so heavy that the asnes bounced on the back porch like marbles.” The porch was white With the hail." Jjfce- storm crumbled the front pipch on the Arrington house and VBTooted four big'trees within 50 f»t. But a small barn, and a mule and cow within a few feet cf the ujpooted trees escaped injury.

Less than a mile away on the Coats road, West of Spence's cross .roads, the same storm ripped up trees and tore off a chimney at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Matthews who occupy the old Betts homeplace, a landmark in that ar ea. , Mr. and Mrs. Matthews said they also heard the storm's roar. For tunately they were in the opposite end of the house where the chim ney toppled. “We were praying for safety,” said Mrs. Matthews, ex pressing thanksgiving no one in the community was hurt. “We were not worrying about our crops.” Matthews said he had more than four acres of fine tobacco ruined by the storm as well as cotton and corn that was totally destroyed. Power failed as the storm struck. Mrs. Arrington who has described the storm added “If I hadn’t had an old oil lamp we would have been completely in the dark. However, Carolina Power and Light Main tenance crews labored through the early part of the night to restore | the current in the affected area. No storm damage was reported at Campbell College, less than a mile away, where rain was reported light. Insurance agents said today, that after a visit ta the storm area, that crops woul be classified as “one hundred percent” loss. How ever, in cases of tobacco and corn, the usual procedure for insurance companies is to pay farmers for the expenses incurred in re-setting tobacco plants and replanting corn. Fortunately, farm agents said tobacco plants are available this season in contrast to last year. ) J. Grady Johnson, Lillington in surance official, said "Biggest loss will be in the cotton fields. It is too late to replant cotton now. Few farmers carry Insurance on cotton.” i Kyle Harrington, chief of the I agricultural stabilization and con i-f ~ n - - - mem.

He pointed out that Mr. Tilley entered the insurance field im mediately after competing service in the Armv during World War I. and without even a change of clothes to his name.

Mr. Tilley paid I particularly high tribute to the re cord made by Mr. DuPree’s Dunn staff. Tile Dunn staff, competing with all the large towns ahd ci ties' in Eastern Carolina, establish ed a new record for production of business. I “It speaks mighty well not only for the staff, but for the town and area in which they reside," de clared Tillev. : AWARDS GIVEN I la recognition of the sates re cord, Superintendent DuPree was presented a beautiful Panama hat : for being the leading superinten dent in the district. R. J. Melton; of the Dunn staff also received a hat for being the leading agent, l A touch of h 'mor was injected when Frank McLeod of Dunn, a ' r-“c!al aeent. was presented a min- , iature hat. As a special agent, Mc- I ecd was not eligible for comps- , tition. i In addition to Mr. DuPree. other. members of the Dunn staff are: ] R. J. Me’ton of Dunn, Windell Jer nigan of Erwin, Delma Wood of I Benson and H. L. Lancaster of Smithfieid. Among those fresart for the meeting was A1 Johnson, now of Raleigh, who served as the first superintendent when the Dunn dis trict was formed in 1945. Five men in tbe Dunn office have been pro moted to higher positions' within the district since that time. During the meeting, Mr. Wilscn, now in the Durham office, pre sented a 00-trait of himself to the Fayetteville staff. He former ly was head of the Fayetteville; 'staff. ! | The meeting closed w'th a ren- ; dltion of "The Lord’s Prayer” bv .A. A.

The stakes involved, he said, are "slavery versus freedom." STANDS FOR FREEDOM. "Freedom of thought, inquiry and expression, and freedom of the mind and conscience and of the ind.vidual are under attack every? where, even in America. And at the bottom of these attacks on freedom is fear,” he said. Carlyle, in a reference to Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy, charged that “an irresponsible spokesman for the Republican Party, authorized to speak on its behalf by that par ty’s leaders, condemned our great Democratic leaders of the past 20 years and the Democratic Party itself as agents of treason. “That was simply a base appeal to the fears of the people by a man ambitious for personal power . who knows that fear feeds upon fear the tact cs of smear, fear and hate, representing McCarthylsm at . its best, reached their peak under ! Hitler and carried Germany to its ruin. In the relatively short time that has elapsed since the Demo- I cratic Party gave up the reins of ' national power we have become a ] payment to begin May 21 and to be paid on the 20th of each succeed ; ing month. If he fa’ls to comply the court will invoke an earlier ! two year «oad sentence now sus pended. An action against Jim Turner, charged with house breaking and entering and larceny, was ordered taken from the records because the defendant is now dead. John Lewis McNeill entered a guilty plea to manslaguhter and was sentenced from 18 months to three years on the roads. \ t An earlier sentence lor Jimmy 1 Johnson Shipman, convicted of ' forgery, was altered. Johnson had - his prison sentence suspended and Ihe was placed on probation for five years on payment of costs.

Martinez Sanchez said it took the combined efforts of his slx man crew to boat the "monster”. - and none of them, nor anyone - else in this port could identify, l U. , confused, fearful and frightened i people.” Despite attacks, Carlyle said hs . | tory’s verdict "will be that the ; Democratic Party . . . rescued our private profit system . . . and sav- I ed the free world from Commu nism.” HISTORY WITH PARTY "History and not treason is on ■ the side of the Democratic Party, because of what it stands for and primarily because of what it has done for the ptppte in the.r time of need.” i Carlyle traced tile accomplish i meats under Democratic leader , ship from Wilson through 1952 and said “if these things be treason, i then I say let the Junior senator : from Wisconsin make the most of | them! They are not treason, and ; they are not ‘creeping socialism,; ! they are the blood and bone I sinew of our democratic way of i life and a fulfilment of the Amer . lean dream of equality of oppor tunity. They are more than that j they symbolize the best possible r answers that America can make to . communism." I Carlyle said the Democratic Par >' ty has "repeatedly” given to North { Carolina “gifted and peerless” j leaders, but said the “genius” of i the state “lies in the win and* the ’ l power of its people_to joake up j | and to express their own minds oil j all matters affecting the public ln ); terest."
