But that’s the jump made a few years ago by a young South Carol inian by the name of James Cole and the ex-carnival owner who’s now saving souls in a big tent up on North Clinton Avenue in Dunn has never regretted his decision for Christ. Jimmy is mighty happy to be here. An fact, he really isn’t supposed to be. He’s supposed to be dead He was shot all to pieces during World War II combat in Belgium and a medical aide tagged him as “dead” and his body was rolled into the Army morgue for embalm ing. But, thanks to a merciful God, Jimmy Cole came to just before the undertaker applied the needle and he's here in Dunn today ; preaching the gospel to lead lost souls down a sawdust trail that’s much different from the one he grew Up on.

(IP) Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson said today the American cotton farmer “is in trouble’’ and warned that this nation cannot continue as a “residual supplier” in world markets. ''Benson said in a sipeech here that cotton has been placed in a legislative "straight Jacket" which has shrunk American markets “both at home and abroad." ‘‘We do not intend to dump out cotton and disrupt the channels of trade," he said.

James R. Spence, LLlington at torney, will preside. State Senator Robert Morgan and Representative Carson Gregory, have been invited to attend and hear the discussion.

Failure Given Vaccine Blame v WASHINGTON (IP) The ; government said today that i “failure" of its original safe ! ty tests was the probable cause of the polio outbreak among children who receiv ed Sftlk vaccine made by j Cutter Laboratories. The U. S. Public Health Service. said these safety standards—since • overdhauled—apparently failed to prevent live virus from getting into some Cutter vaccine shots. This caused at least some of the T6O polio cases connected directly or indirectly with the Cutter vaccine. In a six-page report on its four month Investigation of the Cutter incident, the Health Service frank ly conceded that the “exact rea sons” for live virus found in at least three Cutter lots “could not be found.” , But it declared that its investi gation “produced nothing which pointed to contamination as a source of the live virus.” Scientists had checked the possibility that this might have occurred during the bottling of the vaccine by Cut ter and after final safety tesis had been made. NOT UNUSUAL On the contrary, the service said, the evidence suggested that “the cause of the trouble was Inadequate inactivation kilttwg of the virus couple* with failure of the safety,, teat tqf demonstrate v the presence > of vjrjps” ms*/- ~ - The service pointed out before May I*7 that inadequate killing of | the virus “was not unusual in the experience of several of the manu facturers.” It also said there were “fundamental weaknesses in the safety testing procedures whicn failed to assure what is now be lieved to be a satisfactory degree of sensitivity.” On May 27 new safety standards were put Into effect by the govern ment. Both Inactivation and the testing are governed by the government standards which were drastically overhauled in the wake of the Cut ter incident.

Most of the congestion was caus ed by the two-day delay In opening the market and the fact that many farmers were unable to sell during the recent hurricane storms. It was impossible to get accurate figures on the averages early this afternoon, but It was estimated that the average for today would run approximately SSO to $52 per hundred. Some of the best grades of tobac co brought as high as 65 cents, but these were not too plentiful.
