For Alleged Neglect
of Duty
Rutherfordton, June 13. —Hardin
H. Tucker, chairman of the Board
of Commissioners of Rutherford
county, was named defendant in a
civil action in a summons by N. M.
Ponder Tuesday. The summons was
made returnable before Justice of
Peace Lindsay Purgason, June 25, at

COTTON CROP TO
FARE BADLY IN
NORTH CAROLINA
Farm Experts Say Weather
During Winter Too Mild
To Kill Weevils
Raleigh, June 11.—Indications
point to an unusually heavy boll wee
vil infestation this Summer, as ap
proximately twenty per cent of the
boll weevils that went into Winter
quarters last Fall survived the mild
Winter, according to observations
made by the entomologists of the
State Department of Agriculture at
the Aberdeen laboratory, it was an
nounced today. _ ...
This mean that about nine times
as many survived the Winter of 1928
and 1929 as survived the Winter of
192f and 1928, "and 122 times as
many as survived the previous Win
ter. Furthermore, it was pointed
out that the survival was 25 times
as great as during the Winter of
'25-'26. The initial infestation on
cotton in the field should, therefore,
be much heavier than for any year
since the weevil entered the State.
This does not necessarily mean
that the cotton will be overrun by
boll weevils and completely destroy
ed in late summer, because a hot and
dry. Summer could prevent the nor
mal rapid rate of increase; but it
does mean that the early forms on
the bottom of the cotton plant will
likely be destroyed, unless conrtol
measures are adopted by cotton grow
It is suggested by entomogolists
that cotton be mopped with a poison
molasses mixture, or that it be dust
ed with calcium arsenate before the
first forms appear, in order to kill
off some of the weevils. This conrtol
measure would be worth following
more than ever.
The unusual survival of weevils
is regarded as due to the mild Win
ter. Farmers and fruit growers gen
erally, it was pointed out at the de
partment, are finding insects more
troublesome this year, such insects
as the peach curculio and Mexican
bean beetle being unusually preva
lent.

SPINDALE STREET
PAVING UNDER WAY
Likely Other Streets Will Be
Paved—Business Houses
Closing on Wednesday
Afternoon
Spindale, June 11.—Preparations
are under way for placing the final
coating of asphalt on three of Spin
dale's principal thoroughfares. Spin
dale Street, about two miles in
length, was recently paved with rock,
gravel and a tar binder. The com
position has been allowed to settle
thoroughly before placing on the fin
al coating. Pleasant and Elmore
streets paved at the same time, will
be completed soon with the final
coating of asphalt.
Application and petitions for pav
ing of several other avenues and
streets are pending, but it is not de
finitely known just what action will
be taken by the board of aldermen,
however, it is probable that these pe
titions will be granted and several
more of the most-used will be paved
soon.
Effective last Wednesday the
stores and business houses of Spin
dale will close each Wednesday at
noon throughout the summer months
to allow the employees to enjoy a
half holiday. This custom has been
followed for several years here. Prac
tically every business house in Spin
dale has signed the agreement to
close, also several of the barber
barber shops and certain of the offi
ces.

SI.OO Per Year in Advance
Finding that they could not be
here on Monday for the start of the
Forest City Kiwanis delegates to Mil
waukee with their "Goodwill Adver
tising Car," Pathe News men came in
Thursday to make the moving and
sound picture of the car and the
ceremonies attendant upon its start.
It is to be regretted that the Pathe
men could not be here for th e offi
cial start, but the picture will repre
sent the momentous event in its en
tirety, for an exact rehearsal of the
start was made in the pictures.
About 12 o'clock Thursday the
fire truck and the advertising car
was driven through the streets to
call the people out for the making of
the moving picture. By 12:30 an im
mense throng had gathered upon
the street in front of the park to take
part in the making *)f Forest City's
i first motion and sound picture. In
the crowd were numbers of school
children with their banners, and the
i balance of the crowd was made up of
j the men and women of the city.
j After being given minute instruc
tions by the Pathe director, the mak
jing of the picture was begun with
i Mayor Pro-Tem. G. B. Harrill bid
ding the delegates good-bye and God
speed. Chas. Z. Flack, president of
the Kiwanis Club and official dele
gate to the Milwaukee convention
was absent on account of illness.
Rev. G. R. Gillespie and M. H.
Hewitt were present, however, and
received the Mayor's Godspeed fcnd
good-bye. The car . was officially
christened by Miss Hazel Harrill
amid the plaudits of the crowd.
After this ceremony, the car was
driven through the crowd, followed
by the fire truck and crew, through
a lane of shouting people. In order
to get a correct representation of
the scene, the Pathe men made the
; picture twice, and, of course, will
j use the one showing best results.
| This picture will be shown at the
Romina Theatre at an early date, an
nouncement of which will be made
in this newspaper.
On Monday at 12:30 sharp, the
Kiwanis Club served light lunch and
refreshments in front of the Park,
'after which the official start of the
! Good Will Tour was made. The cere-
I monies were opened with prayer by
Dr. W. A. Ayers, short talks were
made by Rev. G. R. Gillespie, Dr.
A. C. Duncan, Mayor V. T. Davis
j and others. Marshall Giles, secretary
lof the club, also exhibited a map
showing the route of the Good Will
j Messengers, and explaining that tele
grams will be sent daily by the dele
' gates, giving their destination and
j progress on the trip. This map is
jon exhibition at the Peoples Drug
| Store, where all may each day see
the exact location of our delegates.
! Mr. Flack had recovered sufficiently
'from his recent illness.to make the
I trip.
i
| The "Good Will Messengers" and
i the advertising car will attract wide
• attention on its journey to and from
| Milwaukee. It is the intention of the
j delegates to visit every newspaper
'office in every town in which they
| pass through and leave mats and
r write-ups of the trip and the city and
j through this medium Forest City will
leceive tnousands of inches of pub
licity in the -newspapers of the differ
ent places. The idea is a unique one,
and has appealed to the newspaper
men wherever submitted. Already
the picture carried in last week's
Courier has been printed in numbers
of newspapers of this state even be
fore the start of the car from here.
