prr~" " <,nW3esi F'' PAGE FOUR Dog-Days Off T Beginning With Dog days arrived Sunday and it rained plenty. A local resident, who was raised in the country, swears that for the next forty days he will have nothing to do with weather predictions for the benefit of fishing parties, boatmen or anybody else. Their guess is as good as his with dog days on, especially as it rained on the first of them. The old supposition about dog days is that if it rains where you are on the first | of them, it will rain where you are for the following forty days. I Disbelievers at Southport contend that as it has already rained at Southport for most of the past twenty days, Lists Reasons I Favoring Paint I Investigations Conducted by I Wood Products Laboratory Show That Paint Is Best Preservative j Keeping wood satisfactoryily j f painted depends on three things, | i good paint, good painting, and \ good maintenance. The majority j of people consider that buildings usually look best when kept well painted and, if they can afford it, ' are willing to spend money for the purpose. Chemists at the U. ] S. Forest Products Laboratory, ? ! Madison, Wis., state that good f paint maintenance not only keeps v i buildings loosing wen, ?ccPo *>" " a j. faces smooth, but it also gives j s the property a look of pros- p jierity, encourages general tidi- s ness of the premises, and gives the owners a well-deserved feel- ^ ing of pride in his propertly. t Exterior painting may be done f in any season of the year dur- ^ ing which the painter can work j in reasonable comfort. Obiously, j j, paint should not be applied when j t it is raining or foggy and the surface should be allowed to dry j afier rain, fog, or dew before con- q tinuing to paint. During cold, dami weather paints harden more a slowly than they do in warm, dry i: weather. A sudden drop in tern- j 0 perature while the coating is, e hardening may make it wrinkle [ j or it may cause dew to form on j j the fresh paint and damage it. I Coatings applied during late fall J j or winter are likely to become j a more seriously soiled as time passes than coatings applied in [ a the spring or summer. On the j t other hand, during the summer, { insects and seeds sometimes be- r come embedded in fresh paint n ano disfigure it. Once the building has been [ t . painted, future repainting should t be done with the same kind of paint used the first time. Chang- s ing kinds of paint for successive e paint jobs often leads to abnor- a mally early failure and unsat- a isfactory forms of failure of the r new job. The renewed coating consists of the new paint plus what is left of the old paint and. c no one can tell what the result s will le. Certain repainting combinations that have repeatedly been a observed by the Forest Labora- c tory to cause abnormal and usually unsatisfactory developments ii are white paints over yellow i paints over yellow ochre primer or paint, white paints over color- " eo pigment paints such as red, t brown, green, or black, pure S white lead paint over mixed pig- ment paints that have not aged c for a very long time, enamelized r paints over softer house paints ?

Dogs days are so-called because of the dog star which is accredited with ruling some of the planets for a forty-day period, beginning in June or July. There is no fixed date for the beginning of dog days but various things effecting and animal life are credited as being controlled by the star. The long and short of it is that it rained here on the first dog day and the Civic Club secretary does not inend to make any long range weather predictions for forty days. Farmers Income Below Law's Goal Return To Be 25 Per Cent Below Par Figure Of Ten Billions WASHINGTON. ? American armers open their 1938 marketng season for major crops this veek with prospects of a cash ncome 25 per cent below the ;oal set up by the new farm aw. The goal is an income of at east $10,000,000,000. On the basis if present relationships between arm and industrial price, farmers vould require that much money, griculture department economists !J A ' hnuino' aiu tuuay, iu ower equal to that of urban reidents. As movement of the wheat crop o market got into full swing, hese officials estimated that cash arm income, including government benefit payments, from anuary to June would be at east $450,000,000 below that of he comparable period of 1937. The six month income for 938 was estimated at $8,050,00,000. Should commodity prices remain ,t or near present levels, the ncome for the last six months if this year could not be expectd to exceed $4,500,000,000, makng a total of $7,550,000,000 for 938. The 1937 cash income, includng benefit payments, was placed it $8,521,000,000. Only an upturn in prices and . material improvement in domesic as well as foreign demand for American farm products could aise the income above these estimates, economists said. Although benefit payments auhorized by the recent congress otaled about $7,560,000,000, the irgest amount ever voted tor a ingle year,checks to go to farmrs between now and January 1 re not expected to be considerbly larger than during the comlarable period of 1937.

Sorting schools, designed to help farmers better prepare their tobacco for market, will be conducted by the markets division of the North Carolina Department of Agriculture throughout the present season. W. P. Hedrick, department's tobacco marketing specialist, has already made arrangements for schools to be conducted in Robeson, Bladen and Forsyth counties and said that "other counties will be visited i Timediately." "These schools will be designed to bette- acquaint growers with tobacco marketing problems." Hedrick exDlained. "When the farmers are educated to the fact tht sorting is one of their most important problems, then they will be in a better position to expect the maximum price for their product." "The importance of sorting is emphasized by the fact that on one North Carolina market the buyers walked off the floor when they found tobacco so 'jumbled' that it could not meet the standards.. demanded by., mrnufacturers," he added. Counties desiring "sorting schools" should write the N. C. Department of Agriculture's markets divsion, Raleigh. Workstock To Pull For Championships RALEIGH. ?

Tested Seed Rid Cotton Scourge Farmers Rid Cotton Fields Of Damping-Off Disease By Treatment To Seeds North Carolina fanners are fast ridding their cotton fields of damping-off disease, the sourge that has been cutting heavy inroads into the Tar Heel cotton crop in recent years. In 1934, Carolina farmers planted 2,000 acres with seed that had been treated with 2 percent Ceresan, which kills the organisms causing damping-off disease, said Dr. Luther Shaw, extension plant pathologist at State College. The results were good and the next year more treated seed were planted on a larger acreage. Last | year the acreage planted to treated seed jumped to 200,000 acres, and this year 400,000 acres of cotton were planted with treated seed. Dr. Shaw and O. P. Owens, another extension plant pathologist, report that in a recent survey of piedmont and coastal plain counties they found that farmers who planted treated seed had almost twice as many plants per luv reel 01 row as were growing | on fields where the seed had not I been dusted with Ceresan. There were 431 plants per 100 feet of row from treated seed and j only 286 plants per 100 feet of. row growing from untreated seed. Moreover, they found that 72 per-1 cent of the plants from untreat- j ed seed had sore shin, while only I 20 percent of the plants from j treated seed were affected. Treating cotton seed cost 25 cents per acre to be planted, and the increase in yield and quality j of the lint bring growers from ! ?11 to $13 or more per acre, de- j pending upon price, weather conditions, and other factors. Gold is the most malleable metal. Mullins Planning Tobacco Festival Mullins, June 29.?M u 11 i n s, South Carolina's largest tobacco market is making extensive plans for its annual tobacco festival which will be held Thursday, July 28.

It is anticipated that this will be the greatest celebration ever held in this section. Officials Decide To Hold South Atlantic Races At Wrightsville (Continued From Page 1.) at Southport for the boats and the crewes.

Roach (Continued From Page 1.) no campaign and his name did j not appear on the official balj lot. Mr. Sentelle has been retained j by Mintz as his attorney to press I his claim for nomination. The former says that the election law j states that where no second pri-; mary is called, the three high j men in a race for a three-mem-1 ber board stand as nominees. However, according to Sentelle,' if a second primary is called j only the ones with a clear majority in the first primary may be declared nominees and the names of the other high men for whom there was no majority in the first race should appear on the ballot for the second primary. If the contentions of Mintz are upheld it appears that Roach, j who is now serving his third term ; as member of the board, will lose out through no fault of his own, j for it was not necessary for him to file for the second primary.

With amiability that was pathetic, slight William Payne, 41, followed his partner at 11:11 o'clock and all mortal life left him at 11:27. As Payne left his cell to walk past nine other cells on Death Row, he called, without turning his head, "Goodbye." A lone Negro voice from the gloom of another cell began to chant, "I shall go to my Saviour." With each step that Payne took, ather voice joined in the dirgelike song. Together for 10 years in a life outside the law, Payne and Turner together paid for a crime they claimed they had committed only once?murder, the murder of an officer of the law, tall, handsome Highway Patrolman George Penn. State Highway Patrolmen quietly witnessed the executions from the small chamber in the Prison. Outside, in the prison yard, a few others moved restlessly and waited. Although hundreds had asked for admission to the meeting out of justice, only two small groups of curious gathered outside the prison walls, several on the hill north of the prison and a larger group peering through the bars of the east gate. Negro Electrocuted A third man whose crime, if ever known to the general public, has long since been forgotten, died by electrocution before the two asphyxiations. Wiley Brice, a hulking Negro convicted for murder of Shelley Lea in Alamance County in 1926, brought the electric chair back into use for the second time since the adoption of lethal gas as a mode of execution. Two shocks, one of two minutes and 20 seconds and another of a minute and 45 seconds, finished his life. Brice was led into the death chamber, where the electric chair was set up next to the lethal gas chair, at four minutes past 10 o'clock. The electrodes were fastened to his legs and the wired cap set upon his head. At seven minutes past 10 the switch was thrown and Brice's body raised from the chair under the shock and remained taut until the switch was released two minutes and 20 seconds later. Dr. J. E. Osborne, who formerly tested the hearts of men at electrocutions, tested the Negro's heart, and ordered another shock. The electrocution was the first for Dr. Felda Hightower, new prison physician, and the first over which Warden Hugh Wilson officiated. When the door of the death chamber closed upon Turner, leaving him alone in the room, he bent his head and closed his eyes and inhaled deeply, before the gas began to rise. When the deadly fumes struck his notrils, he attempted to hold his breath. Finally, as he gasped in the gas, his head went back and his lips formed, "Lord help me!" Again he inhaled and again his lips said, "Lord have mercy!" At one inhalation, he gave a heavy groan that could be heard through the double-thickness glass. His body drew tense against the straps, and his white skin crew red. After the gas had been r> administered two minutes, his body slumped and after a final gasp and jerk, he remained motionless until Dr. Hightower, listening outside the chamber, at ither end of a stethescope taped to Turner's chest, motioned (That he was dead. Death came after 16 minutes and 15 seconds, the next to the longest time ever taken. The gassing of Milford Exum in February required 16 ninutes and 20 seconds. Payne Much Quieter Payne's physical reactions were much quieter. As attendants left the death chamber, he called "goodbye" to them and stopped Warden Wilson for a moment to shake his hand. He looked up to the Warden. . "Goodbye, Warden" he said with i half - smile, "I want to thank you, Warden, for being so nice to my mother." The heavy door was closed and sealed and at 12 minutes past 11 Vclock, the cyanide pellets dropped into sulphuric acid, and Bill Payne inhaled the gas. He breathed deeply of the fumes. and succumbed quickly. Once, after about three minutes, his face and lips curled as if he were choking then, gradually, the lines smoothed out. After 15 minutes ",nd 15 seconds, he was declared dead. The body of Turned was claimed by a brother, Elvis Turner, and the Rev. C. W. Greene, Missionary Baptist preacher, who vill conduct funeral services for lim at Conley's Chapel near Maron Sunday at 2 o'clock. Mitchell Funeral Home claimed the body of Payne for his mother, Mrs. Emma Payne of < High Point with instructions to j care for it until further instructions. The chief officers of the Highway Patrol witnessed the execution of the two men. In the control room, with prison officials, stood Major Arthur Fulk, head :f the patrol, Captain L. R. fisher, under whom Patrolman F'enn worked, Captain Charles D. Farmer, head of the eastern division; and Lt. A. T. Moore. Other patrolmen, including Lt. W. B. Lentz, of Asheville, witnessed i from the official witness room. - " WED Brice's body was not claimed at the time of the execution. Crime Does Not Pay Asked by the prison chaplain, the Rev. E. C. Cooper for a final statement, Turner said, "X guess all that needs to be said in that direction can be summed up in a few words: "Crime does not pay."

Holiday Deaths The long Fourth of July holiday meant violen death for at least 358 persons in the nation. Two of them were victims of crude firework. A home-made cannon killed a man in Pennsylvania. Another there was killed by a bomb he made from an automobile wrist pin. Those were only two of the 29 fatalities which made Pennsylvania the heaviest scorer in the death column. Traffic accidents claimed 25 and two drowned. For the nation as a whole, celebrating the 162nd anniversary of Independence, automobiles killed the greatest number ? 197. There were 94 drownings. Sixteen were shot to death, 13 committed suicide, 10 were killed by trains and the remaining 26 died from various causes, such as heat, plane accidents, explosions and falls.
