Wallace; Many Prob lems Given Consideration RECORDER GIVES FOUR SENTENCES By M. R. DUNNAGAN RALEIGH, July 25 Appearance Monday evening of Secretary of Ag riculture Henry A. Wallace, speaking on "The Administration's Program of Raising Farm Prices, marked an aus picious opening of a week of study of farm problems at the 31st annual meeting of the Farmers' and Farm Women's Convention at State Col lege. This week is being devoted to study !- 'of all kinds of farm problems, deal ing with cotton and tobacco primar ily, along with other field and live stock crops. Because of the cotton reduction plan and the proposal of reduction of tobacco acreage next year, these problems are receiving more attention than usual. Each day a cotton expert will speak. Both men and women are in at tendance upon the short courses of fered by State College and certifi cates will be issued at the end of the week to those completing the pre scribed courses of study. A busy week of work, as well as recreation, is under way. Governor Ehringhaus promises that by the end of this week about all of his appointments will have been made, including the large num bers who will compose 20-odd boards of State institutions, and a few oth er examining boards, as well as the director and board members of Con servation and Development, and di rector of purchase and contract. J. W. Harrelson, for the former, and A. S. Brower, for the latter, both re appointments, are expected. The appointment of T. A. Wilson, former president of the State Fed eration of Labor, made Saturday to succeed himself, was not unexpected. At the same time Governor Ehring haus announced appointment of M. C. Whitney, Winston-Salem, as a" member of the State Board of Bar ber Examiners, -. succeeding J. G. Shannonhouse, Jr., Rocky Mount,! whose term expired. He also named the board of Cosmetic Art Examin ers, created by the 1933 General As sembly, the members being Arthur T. Ritchie, Asheville; L. L. Smithey, Reidsville, and Miss Emily Purcell, Raleigh. This latter board will en force the new "beauty parlor" oper ators law which the "beauticians" got through the legislature. Merchants of North Carolina have decided not to contest the validity of the three per cent general sales tax law enacted by the 1933 General Assembly, but have organized to seek its repeal by the 1935 General1 As sembly, it was decided at a meeting of the directors in Raleigh Friday. If the law were fought ?.nd held uncon stitutional, they said in explanation, the State's schools wo-.-'d have to. close, its activities stop and the in stitutions and departments reduced to a skeltton a general collapse of State functions, and about the same argument used by Governor Ehring haus in his final support of the tax. I J. Paul Leonard, former secretary,! preceding Williard L. Dowell, has Legionaires Elect Officers For Year At the recent regular monthly meeting of Carteret Post 99 of the American Legion, officers were elect ed for the ensuing year as follows: Hugh Hill, Commander; C. R. De vant, 1st Vice CDmmander; Roy Bar bour, 2nd Vice Commander; Phillip K. Ball, Adjutant; Brady Mason Ser-geant-at-Arms; Wm. H. Bailey, Fi nance Umeer; Alonzo Thomas, His torian; and Rev. Woith Wicker, Chaplain. Delegates elected to attend the State Legion Convention in Wil mington August 18-20 were as fol lows: Dr. Herb?rt F. Prytherch, Wm. H. Bailey, and Hugh Hilt. The past twelve-month period has been quite busy for the local legion aires, for during that time a com modious log hut has been constructed on Turner street. This has attracted the attention and won the admira tion of many visitors, especially leg ionaires from other sections of the state, rrogres na also been made in sundry other ways by Post 99. This speaks well for the local unit of the National organization, for the Car teret Post 99 has only been organiz ed about two years, and is both the youngest and largest post in Carteret county. LOCAL BOATS CATCH MANY FISH NEW JERSEY WATERS During the past several weeks two of the menhaden boats from around Beaufort have been having good fishing l nthe vicinity of Port Mar- mouth, New Jersey. Last week and the week before, the "Parkins," un der the command of Capt. Ned Lew is, caught 4,491,000, and last week 2,888,000 of these were caught The "Lancaster," skippered by Capt. Charlie Mason, caught 2,100,000 last week. Several other of the Beaufort boats are on the Jersey coast, but from the reports reaching the Beau fort News none of these have been as successful as the "Parkins" and "Lancaster." MOVING TELEPHONE EXCHANGE Work was started early this week on moving the - telephone exchange from the second floor of the Duncan Building down in the Thomas Build ing. This removal and the rest of the recabling work of the local telephone system will likely be completed with in the next few weeks. The Carolina Telephone and Telegraph Company has secured a twelve-year lease on the Thomas building. Both the recab ling work and the removal of the exchange will greatly improve the local telephone service, it is said.

(Continued on page five) "Aunt" Patience Wil son and "Boll Weevil" Hill Are Convicted Tuesday . . , "Aunt" Patience Wilson and Na mon ("Boll Weevil") Hill, both col ored of Morehead City, came into Recorder's Court here Tuesday morn ing and plead not guilty to a charge of possession of liquors on the nine teenth of July for the purpose of sale through their attorney, Carles W. Stevens. "Aunt" Patience was said to be partially blind. Officer Iredell Salter, who was the first witness for the State, told a bout making a search of "Aunt" Pa tience's home. He said that he found a half galon of liquor back of a bu reau in one of the rooms and two. one-half gallon jars of the same in toxicant "overhead" in the house. He said that "Boll Weevil" Hill admit ted to him the ownership of part of the liquor, and according to the Sal ter testimony told the officer that he carried it to "Aunt" Patience's home. Here Solicitor M. Leslie Davis moved that the warrant be amended to "also read "transportation" in re gard to Namon Hill, and with the per mission of Judge Paul Webb this change was made in the warrant. Officer Clarence Pelletier was then put on the stand, and in addition to the testimony of Officer Salter, he said they found many pint bottles anda small drinking glass in the vi cinity of the concealed liquor. He said that Hill admitted in the More head City jail that the liquor was all his. But later "Aunt" Patience claim ed that the liquor was hers alone and that it was the "only way of get ting someb read." All the officers gave 'Boll Weevil" a liquor reputa tion, and Officer Salter stated to the court that "Aunt" Patitnce has the reputation of selling drinks to ten and twelve-year-old boys. , It was the judgment of the court that Namon Hill was guilty of both possession and transportation of in toxicating uquors, and he was Sen tenced to serve ninety days in jail, to be assigned to work the state roads, "Aunt" Patience was found guilty of possession and sentenced to serve three months in the county jail, this to be suspended upon the payment of the costs and the further condition that she be of good behav ior and cease to deal in intoxicants for a period of two years. Weston Taylor, young Sea Level man, denied his guilt to a charge of disturbing the peace by being drunk EXPENDITURES IN STATE FOR JUNE Relief Work Not Quite So Cost ly At In May RALEIGH, July 24 Total relief More Than Sixty Will Enter Beauty Contest An evening-dress beauty contest with three score and more entrants will be held in the Beaufort High School auditorium Wednesday even ing of next week at eight o'clock un der the auspices of Carteret Post 99 expenditures in North Carolina for 'of the American Legion, with a mus- June were $928,468, according to a ical under the direction of Mrs. G. statement made public today by thejM.

By M. R. DUNNAGAN MANTEO, July 24 Dare county, "birthplace of the nation, 1584 birthplace of aviation, 1903," enter tained the North Carolina Press As sociation last week, July 19-21, as that organization has seldom been entertained in its 61 years. Historic significance of the county vied with the cordiality of the people and joint ly they made it a memorable three days for the visitors, most of them visiting the several shrines for the first time. J. Roy Parker, Ahoskie, was elect ed president on the closing day suc ceeding John A. Park, of Raleigh; Carl C. Council, Durham, was elect ed vice-president and re-elected were Miss Beatrice Cobb, Morganton, sec retarytreasurer, and B. Arp Low rance Charlotte, historian. Executive committee members, in addition to Parker, Council and Miss Cobb, were elected as follows: R. E. Pricey Rutherfordton; John A. Park, J. L. Home, Jr., Rocky Mount; Manton Oliver, Reidsville; Capus Waynick, High Point. A. G. Gordon, Winston-Salem, dis cussed the National Industrial Recov ery Act as it applies to printers, and Mr. Home told what had been learn ed as the act relates to newspapers. Whether it applies to newspapers or not is not certain yet, but it seems to apply to all of those doing job printing and these are included with commercial printers, and, warning was issued that this joining up may be to the disadvantage of the job offices conducted by small papers. The point was raised tha tthe act may, apparently will, violate the "freedom of the press" in the first amendment to the Constitution, if newspapers are included. The status now is so uncertain that publishers were advised to be cautious, and as information is se cured, it will be available for" the' weeklies from Miss Cobb, through the National Editorial Association, and from Mr. Home, through the South ern Newspaper Publishers Associa tion. It was the consensus of onininn rthat the publishers will follow the lead of President Roosevelt, anyway. Congressman Lindsav Warren nf the First N.
