Put Us Across
'f SMALL AMOUNTS
IP STILL UNREPORTED
We were a little slow in
making it, hut we're over the
$2800 mark by some dollars.
We lacked $135.98 yester
day when our Beaufort col
ored people came up with a
sDlendid showing of $155.55
raised under the leadership
of Chairman T. I. Long and
fin-chairman L. S. Lassiter-
that carried us over the
mark. There are other small sums
vet to come in before the final re
port is made: North River colored

are yet unneara iiom, "
Sant's, and few individuals
who have promised contri
butions. We are also to have a
percentage of the funds given by
service men in the County credit
ed to our Chapter. That is still to
come, but everybody is feeling
better now to know that the section
of the County included in our
Chapter has not fallen down on
this important piece of work as
signed to us.
i Rev. W. Stanley Potter, Chair-
J man of the Drive, hits asked us to j
thank all the Chairmen of groups
and teams working with the Chap
I ter, Mrs. E. H. Potter, Treasurer,
Xill others who have helped in the

Mr. Dudlely Beat Up
Saturday Night
Mr. Eugene Dudley, 76 years
old, who ives with his sister and
nephew on Front Street between
Gordon and Fulford Streets, was
on his home last Saturday night
between 10 and 11 laden with bun
rllps when he was attacked in
front of the Arlington home. Geo
Mason on his way down to see a-
bout his boat found him and took
him home, but Sunday afternoon
he had to be entered in Potter's
Emergency Hospital. There is evi
dence of a hevy blow, but other
than that there are no marks to
show where he was struck, al
though both ear drums are ruptur
ed. He is unable to hear and suf
fers with pain in his head..
The identity of Mr. Dudley's as
sailants is difficult to establish. It
was very dark and he was alone.
Chief of Police Longest says city,
county and state officials are work
ing on the case, but there is no
progress to report at present. Mr.
Dudley is quoted as saying he
vaguelly remembers that someone
went through his pockets but stop
ped as steps approached. He had
only thirty odd cents with him.
The flashlight that was reported as
taken was found near his body
and was probably dropped when
he fell. It is the general opinion
about town that if robbery was
the motive, it was done by some
one who knew him.

GET TOGETHER
FSA
I would like to urge all people
to think twice before speaking
once when it comes to doing away
with the Farm Security Adminis
tration program which has meant
and does mean so much to thou
sands of farm families.
During these war days when our
government is appealing to the far
mers to produce more and more
food and fiber, some of our lead
ers, who really do not know what
the Farm Security Administration
means to the small farmers, are
trying, it seems to me, to idnder
production of this foo-d in stopping
the assistance which we small far
mers receive from the Farm Se
curity Administration program.
I would like to say that without
the financial and educational help
of the Farm Security Administra
tion, I could have never hoped to
own my home. This seems to be
the sentiment of all farmers with
whom I have come in contact who
have dealt with the Farm Security
Administration.
