that the wheat can be raised on land
during the winter months when it is
in all probability not growing a crop,
is one of the distinct advantages in
favor of putting in enough acres in
wheat to produce flour for family use
and feed for the stock, says Mr. Ov
erstreet. It will take a bushel and a half of
seed to plant one acre, says the farm
agent, and this will possibly yield
the grower twenty-five bushels on

FARMERS ATTEND
GRANGE MEETING
Master State Grange Address
ed Local Farmers Concern
ing That Organization
A good many interested farmers
gathered in the court room of the
court house at 7:30 o'clock Thurs
day evening to hear the interesting
talk, made., by Vi,.K;gjr,.,Qp.tt, master
of "the1s;orth Carolina state Grange,
upon the history, achievements and
advantages of that fraternal organi
zation. Mr. Scott talked for about an
bout a dollar a bushel. When the
wheat is ground into flour for family
use, five bushels will make one bar
rel of flour. No grinding is necessary
when the grain is to be fed to stock.
Arrangements have been made by
the Mutual Exchange with two Car
teret County millers to grind the
wheat at so much a bushel or they
will accept a toll in produce for this
service. Should fifty or more acres
be planted, these millers have agreed
to install bolting machinery; this
will permit them to produce white
flour. Otherwise Graham or whole
wheat flour will be ground, which is
considered to be more healthful by
dietitians nd -members of the medtf
cal profession. 1 !
The. addition of wheat to the feed
now given to the stock here in Car
teret will greatly increase the egg

the governmental units have supplied! This meeting was not for the pur-
the information necessary on which
the relief body can present its de
mands. Those communities and
counties that have not reported will
have to wait until another applica
tion, is made, Dr. Morrison said.
Communities are striving to do
their very best to handle their prob
lems of destitution this winter, in
spite of .the fact that many of the
courses of finances for relief work
have dried up and many who former
ly aided are themselves, in some cas
es, objects of charity, Dr. Morrison
said. He is pleased wtih the local ef
forts and is certain help will be forth
coming fox those communities which
!). have made the best provision possible
themselves.
North Carolina had a cash balance
of $5,050,011.06 in the State Treas
ury at the end of August, $1,040,013
69 of which held to pay outstanding
obligations, $1,27'J,?91.63 of which
was in the general fund and $2,730
005.74 of which was i.: the highway
fund, the combin3d repo.t of Treas
urer and Auditor shows.
The general fund received $2,431-
797.77 and spent $1,863,329.94 in
Auarust. the July balance of $711,.
623.80 increasing the August balance
to $1,279,991.63. The highway fund
pose of organizing a local chapter of
the National Grange, but merely to
inform the people about the nature
of the organization so that they
would sometime, in the near future
desire to organize.
The Grange was started in 186S
here in North Carolina and there are
now 8,000 chapters of the Grange
in the country. Altho originating here
in this state, up until recently it had
made little headway in North Caroli
na. However it had spread like wild
fire thru the northern and western
and western states. During the past
year 42 other Carolina counties have
become interested and nave organiz
ed local chapters of the Grange.
Anv one 14 years of age and ov
er who is of good reputation may be
come a member of the Grange, Mr.
Scott informed his listeners. He said
that the Grange is an educational and
recreative organization that strives
to add to the earning capacity of its
former-members through its educa
tional advantages and also . to in
crease and broaden their viewpoints
through the "get-together meetings"
which are held twice a month.
Hueh Overstreet, County Farm
Agent, was appointed as a committee
ity of the hens, says Mr. Overstreet,
while all other farm animals would
be greatly benefitted by being fed
wheat. The majority of poultry and
stock in Carteret are not fed wheat
in any form. Some poultrymen who
use prepared scratch feeds of course
give their flocks wheat in small a
mounts in this way; but cases of this
kind are far in the minority.
Neither the Carteret Mutual Ex
change or Mr. Overstreet are urging
the farmers to grow wheat for the
market in competition with western
producers of this grain, but for home
consumption only. By growing wheat,
which can be produced on soil that
barley or oats can be grown on,
Carteret farmers will be taking an
other step toward "living at home."

Inlet Inn is Leased
With Purchase Right
The Inlet Inn was leased Tuesday
to Mrs. Anna V. Pearson, or Chica
go and Charlotte, with the privilege
nf nurchasing later. Beginning the
first of October, the Inlet Inn will be
renerallv and thoroughly repaired
both inside and out, will be repaint
ed and compltely refurnished. It will
be run under the new management as
a year-round hotel.
During the past several years the
Inn has been owned by the Inlet Inn,
Inc., and has been run under nu
merous managements, fart oi tne
building has been converted into a
partments, and these will be continu
ed under the new management.
Should the Inn be later purchased
by Mrs. Pjarson, it will probably be
completely rebuilt and made into a
fine seashore hotel.
RALEIGH, Sept. Ss Efforts of
Governor Gardner to aid in the solu
tion of the strike problem in Rock
ingham, involving the mills of W. B.
Cole and George P. Entwistle, have
so far been unsuccessful. The situa
tion is complicated because the work
ers are divided, one group demanding
that it be permitted to return to
work, the other announcing it would
picket the mills to prevent them from
entering. Plans to open the mills
Monday to let those desiring to work
to do so have been abandoned. Gov
ernor Gardner offered to use his in
fluence to get the differences adjust
ed by arbitration, but no progress
has been made. Several other labor
disputes have been settled by aid of
Governor Gardner. Rockingham now
i being the only place in the State
where such trouble continues. Gover
nor Gardner is worried and would
jike to end the trouble before more
serious troubles are permitted to de
velop. Mutt Pay Ad Valorem Tax
Numbers of counties of the State
have been notified that they need not
expect to have school vouchers hon
ored unless or until they have paid
substantially all of the 15-cent ad va
lorem tax due the State for 1931,
State Treasurer John P. Stedman has
notified a large number of them that
are much behind. Counties are requir
ed under the law to report and re
mit the 15 cent tax twice a month,
and practically all of it should be in
by this time. Some of the counties
have paid healthy, instalments of the
1932 tax even. In case the county is
far behind and has not remitted re
cently, Treasurer Stedman advises
them to remit at once, or explain
their delinquency, else the money for
school purposes will not be available.
Fire loss for August in North Caro
lina was $273,322 from 157 fires, as
compared with loss of 188,277 from
lo fires' in August last year, the
monthly report of Insurance Commis
sioner Dan C. Boney shows.
Eight fires caused loss of $152,115
the three big ones being a tobacco
storage warehouse and residence in
Reidsville, $65,615; three stores and
contents in Charlotte,, $33,000, and
planing mill at Louisburg $20,000.
The report shows 34 rural fires, loss
$44,188, and 123 urban fires, loss
$229,134. Twenty-three towns report
ed no fire loss.
Randolph county led the State in
numbers of non-resident huntnig li
censes issued in the 1931-32 season,
with 66. Chatham sold 54, Moore 42,
Harnett 39, Robeson 38 and Colum
bus 25, Charles H. England, State
game warden, reports, Carteret led
the sales in 1930-31 issuing 118, but
shortening of the wild-fowl season
cut the number to 32 last year. The
migratory wildfowl season has been
extended 60 days this season and eco
nomic conditions have improved, the
hope being that visiting sportsmen
will increase considerably this year.
Insurance Commissioner Dan C.
Boney has advised insurance carriers
and the larger employers of labor
thata hearing on the application of
workmen's compnesation insurance
carriers to increase rates will be held
in his office on October 5. The N. C.
Industrial Commission interposed ob
jection and demanded the filing of
briefs, so they could be studied for
Another carload of flour milled
from Federal wheat has arrived here
and is now being unloaded. Begin
ning next week this flour wil be dis
pensed from the same place in tne
DeNoyer Building on Turner Street
every two weeks; Tuesday for the
white people and Wednesday for the
colored. The Red Cross ladies will be
in the dispensary from 1 o'clock p.
m. these days.
The local chapter of the Red
Cross, who are supervising the dis
position of the flour, is urging that
onlv those who are in dire need of
the flour apply for it. It is understood
that some who were not in dire need
applied and received flour from the
other carload dispensed by the Red
Cross here. If the Red Cross finds out
that a family is receiving flour who is
not entitled to it, the name of the
family will be published in the Car
teret county newspapers and no more
flour will be allowed this family, it
is asked that the public in general
co-operate with the local Red Cross
chapter so that only the deserving,
needful neoDle will receive the aid
from the Red Cross.
Clothing material which is being
given to the Red Cross by the t eder
al government is now arriving in
Beaufort and when the local quota
is all received, the Red Cross ladies
will dispense this to the needy of the
county. The second-hand clothing
which is being collected by the lied
Cross ladies is being given out to
the needy as rapidly as colected.
Mrs. F. E. Hyde, who is in charge of
the Red Cross work here, is request
ing again that all who have clothing
that they would like to give the lo
cal Red Cross for the needy to do so
as soon as possible. The Red Cross
ladies will call for all clothing when
they are informed of its whereabouts.

Governor Gardner asked Attorney
General Brummitt to appear to take
care of the interests of the people of
the State.
Local Legionaires participated in a
heated discussion concerning the em
ployment of veterans with depend
ents in the governmental construc
tion work in (Jarteret county wueu
rnrf-p.vpt. Post 99 met in the ctiy hall
Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock. It had
been reported that the old crews were
geing employed on the dredging and
other construction worK, wnicn tne
ex-service men think was contrary to
the law, concerning this work.
Thethirty-one members ot the lo
cal post present at the meeting voted
unanimously in favor of the regula
tions of the State Welfare Depart
ment in reference to the construc
tion work employment: (1) Ex-service
men with dependents; (2) Oth
er men with de-pendents; (3) single
men, whether ex-service men or oth
ers. A number of citizens other than
the ex-service men were present at
the meeting and J. G. Allen, who is
the County Superintendent of Schools
and County Welfare Officer, address
ed the gathering concerning this mat
ter. Mr. Allen later told a News re
porter that none of the construction
executives had been to look over the
list of eligible men he had compiled
at the instance of the Jstate Weitare
Department. He said that the em

An eight months road sentence was
given to Jim W. Fulford Tuesday
morning in Recorder's Court for be
ing drunk, disorderly conduct, as
sault with deadly weapons glass jar,
not and fists upon his wife Lizzie
Fulford, and resisting an officer. Jim
was said to be an old-time offender
and it has only been a short time
since he completed four months on
the roads.
When Chief Longest was trying to
make the Fulford arrest and get the
young colored man in the Police car,
Sade Copes Stanley butted in, so she
was also arrested and charged with
interference with an officer in per
formance of his duties. The two cas
es were consolidated for convenience.
The case was rather tangled up,
but from the testimony of the witness
it seemsd as if Fulford was on one
of his perennial "rounders" early
Sunday morning, September 18.
Chief Longest was summoned by Ow
en Vann, father-in-law of the defend
ant. Chief Longest and Vann found
Fulford on the street and proceded
to arrest him and get him in the of
ficer's car. Then Sade Copes Stanley
put in her appearance and Fulford
got away.
Later the chief and Officer Holland
returned to the home of the defend
ant and when the colored man was
called to the dor, Chief Longest stat
ed that he said he would not come
out of the house and if they entered
he would kill them with an ax. Of
ficer Holland then broke in the door
and he snd the chief made the arrest
and locked the young colored man
up.
Sade Copes Stanley claimed that
when she interferred with the arrest
I she was trying to keep the defend-
Chief Longest and Owen Vann. She
positively declared that she did not
try to aid Fulford in his escape and
was surprised when he got away..
The witnesses in this case were:

Judgment was that Fulford is to

payment of the costs in the case of
Sade Copes Stanley.
Mildred Sparrow, young colored
woman, entered a plea of nolo con
tendere through her attorney, Paul
Webb, to a charge of possessing in
toxicating liquor for the purpose of
sale on September 17. Chief Long
est testified that he and another of
ficer, upon information, went to the
Sparrow home with a search warrant
and Mildred willingly permitted them
to search. No liquor was found in the
home-, but three half-gallon jars full
of whiskey was found buried under
the edge of the house. Chief Longest
