Specialists from the State College School of Agriculture, the Extension Service, and the Experiment Station will lead group discussions in all phases of tobacco growing and mar... : keting, from the time the seed are set out in plant beds to the time the weed is sold on th warehouse floors. Those in chargeof the course are confident that farmers will welcome such a meeting and that improve ments in the crop will be seen next year as a result of the instruction. SENATOR PITTMAN THIKING STRAIGHT, J C Pittman, state senator-elect from the 13th district, states that as soon as the next general assembly is organized, he will propose some reorganizing. His scheme is to un do the present set-up of the State highway and public works commis sion and form a brand new organiza tion which he thinks will work to bet ter advatnage not only to the best interests of the highway system but also to better satisfaction of motor ists. senator riuman is irom samora, which town among many others has felt the rawness of inattention to rundown roads. For many months —should we say years —one of the state's main highways leading through Sanford has been allowed remain in such deplorable condi.. tion that it has been almost past going For that one link alone we are inclined to say amen to Senator Pittman's proposition. But the senator has a far wider sug gestion in the remodeling of the highway board, and the News is with him on that score. For a long time we have noted that proper rep.. resentation of certain territory has 1 been Badly lacking. For somereas’ on—or was there any reason, '•but simply an ekcuse though a bad one? —very little attention has been paid to roads in this Bection df the state. We have been informed that even thoutgh the members of the board in a group were supposed to be "del egates at large”, in fact the state was divided into districts and that the member. having Harnett county under his wing lived in Leaksville! 1 Details of Senator ^Pittman’s plan are not before but iii hdvance, j we feel that we can. say'strength to him If he iSsound ih his ideas of are organized ^ hlghiva^ Ward the 1 News will be glad to lend its voice of approval. | We get it by way of graveyard that Clyde Hoey has some ideas along the same line Now, we say, you good men get together and give us somtheing better than we now have — far better we should say, because what we have is not a great sinht to speak of—Harnett County News.

Cl Pittman, Senator From Thi* District and W. E. Horner, Blepre sentative From Lee County, Were Notified Last Saturday By Tele. I gram From Governor Ehringtiacs, of Special Session of The General Assembly That Will Be Held In Raleigh Today, to Consider Socivl Security Act I Senator J C Pittman, of this sera torial district, aj*d W E Homer, rep resentative from lee county, receiv ed ; wired messages last Saturday from Governor” Ehringhaus, which read' as'follows: ■ _ “You are rereby notified that • a “You are hereby notified that a Assembly has been called Ui,convene on Thursday December 10th, af- • 11 A. m., to consider the unemployment insurance compensation act." Senator Pittman and Representa tive Horner expect to leave for Ral eigh in time to be ready for the opening of the General Assembly this morning. It has been the opin ion of some people that it would be the General Assembly o!f two years ago that would convene at the call of the Governor to pass on this mac ter, but it is the General Assembly that will convene for the regular ses sion in January A special session had to meet and take action in this matter in order to save the situation It could not hang over until the reg ular session of the General Assem... bly. During tre past few weeks when other states were a ...twirl abodt the ther they were complying with the Federal requirements for the social security compensation act North Carolina's Governor Ehringhaus took the stand that this state had suffi cient laws concerning this matter. The Attorney General voiced this opinion, which the Governor took as law and gospel. Many of the chief lawmakers of the state however, did not hold with the Governor and the attorney general against, the feder al government and statements have been carried in the public press for the past two weeks pro and con. . Meanwhile, the figures estimated as the- state's loss unless proper and necessary laws were enacted by the General Assembly before December 31st, the time limit, were set at $2,5^)0,000. This is th sume the state would receive by compliance with the act. We noticed a statement in the daily papers this week to the effect that it is expected that Raleigh will be full of lobbyists by the time the special session convenes. Nothing strange about this They are al. ways on the job whether it is a speci al or regular session, and they are always ready to ask for special fav ors for themselves or for some big interests. If the General Assembly can convene, pass on the matter for which it was called together, and.. and then go home, it will deserve the congratulations and commenda . tion of the people of the state.

This paper has bten informed that theie has been more wheat sowed in Lee county and this section than there ha3 been since the county was created The farmers have learned by experience that it doesn't pay to buy bread when it can be raised on their own farms at a comparatively small cost.

Some of the farmers of the county have wheat that will sup ply their families with bread till af ter harvest next summer.

At the time of her visit here, the farmer Baltimore belle was Mrs Spen cer She was the house guest here of a prominent Southern Pines society woman, and attended a dinner once at the Lovejoy Log Cabin where she met members of the winter colony who recall her as a vivacious and attractive women.—Southern Pines and Aberdeen Pilot. This paper is informed that a San ford! girl is a school mate cf a giri in Virginia, the daughter of Mrs. Simpson by her first husband. It is suggested that King Edward and his bride, after they are married, spend their honeymon in America and visit the bride‘s kin in Baltimore and Virginia. The queen would almost be sure to ‘scrape up' kin with some of the descendants of the “first fami lies oif Virginia.” No doubt it would be fuond that the royal blood of a centurjr or two ago coursed through the weinsvof their forbears.
