MENTIONED FOR THE POSI
TION.
Pursuant to instructions by the
late Democratic convention, the
Democratic executive committee
of the county will assemble here
next Saturday, July 14, for the
purpose of naming a chairman of
the executive committee. ,
The chairman is the leader and
standard bearer for the party,
and is elected biennially by a
majority of the 21 members of the
executive committee.
The last meeting of the execu
tive committee held here June 11
simultaneously with the deliber
tions of the county convention,
failed to elect a chairman owing
to lack of a quorum.
At this meeting it was found
i
that 7 precincts embracing Mitch
ell's, West Sandy Ridge, Lawson
ville, Frans, Brown Mountain, j
Flinty Knoll and Freeman had
not duly elected their representa-
tives on the committee, and there
fore the election of a chairman
could not legally be effected.
At next Saturday's meeting it
is presumed that all precincts
will be represented with duly ac
credited members, and that the
election of a chairman will pro
ceed without a hitch.
It is understood that there are
quite a number of Democrats who.
will be pushed by their friends
for the chairmanship, among ;
them the following: James H.!
Baker. W. S. Hart, P. O. Fry, R. J
i
J. Scott. Dr. J. L. Hanes, Miss
i
Laura Ellington, and the present
cha'rman, S. P. Christian.
While the chairmanship pays
no salary, yet it is a position of
dignity, importance and influence
I
with'n the party, and election to
the place is considered a dis
tinguished honor.
At th e meeting of the commit
tee, when the organization is com
pleted by the election of a chair
man and secretary, matters of
urgency touching the campaign,
now opening, will be considered.
Death of S. A. Thomp

TOBACCO CROP
r LOOKS PROMISING
» FARMERS ARE EXPECTING
. | HIGH PRICES THIS FALL,
■j AND WILL ENDEAVOR TO
GROW AN UNUSUALLY.
' GOOD CROP—ACREAGE MA-
I
TERIALLY CUT CORN IS
EXCELLENT. j
j A Winston-Salem warehouso
-1 man, noted for his optimism, to'.d
some Stokes farmers recently
that the 1914 crop would be the
"highest since the World War."
i
Farmers generally ar e expect
l ing good prices this fall, and are
' | therefore endeavoring to produce
!
an unusually bright and early
crop—and this means a good
)
crop.
1 At the present time the tobacco'
crop is looking fine .n nea Iy ev '
i
ery sect : on of the county. Th-*'
late rains have made it grow
rapidly, and though many farm -'
l
ers found themselves seriously in |
the grass during June, that dan
ger was soon overcome by stren- j
uous work. Now the fields are
i
clean, and the prospects ar e very
promising for early priming and
a full-sized, colorful product.
Owing to the government re
strictions, of course the acreage
; will be materially smaller, but
this being the case in all sections
of the tobacco belt, the growers
I !
' realize the situation inures to
the'r benefit. There may be a
third less pounds, but all hope for
more money for what they do
produce.
The corn crop, with a greatly
increased acreage, is excellent ; n
all sections.
i That corn planted on land
where lespedeza was grown last
year ha 3 made best growth in
Caswell county so far this season.
J
Larston Hauser, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Henry Hauser, fell from
a motorcycle here Sunday morn
ing sustaining a severe laceration
on his leg and minor bruises
about the body.
The following births were reg
istered here last week: To Mr.
I and Mrs. L. E. Bennett, a son;
to Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Duggins,
a son; to Mr. and Mrs. Otis Ed
wards, a daughter; and to Mr.
I and Mrs. Clifton Jones, a son.
The following parties have re
turned fro m Carolina Beach where

Saura City, July 10.
The Dramatic Club of Saura
City ( RC3S' Store Section) pre
sented "Happy Valley" at the
j
Community House Saturday
night, July 7th. This play was
sponsored by the young men's
S. S. class of Palmyra M. E.'
church.
I confess I was most agreeably
surpr'sed at the amount of splen
i
j did dramatic ability shown by
j these players To sae Drexel
I Flynt as "Jim Camp," and Helen
, Mullican as "Aunt Malinda" was
i worth twice the price of admiss-'
ion. Gloster Jones played most
admirably the part of the young
j bachelor lover, "Harry Steele."
j "Polly Camp," the gin who made
i a mistake, was well interpreted
Iby Frances Ross Mullican.
j Erleene Greene, played the part
of the prodigal sister, Rose
Steele, very well indeed.
I Max Flynt was splendid as
l "Pete" the Eastside New York
, boy, and Charlotte Meadows as
, "Sara," the hired girl, was a
knockout. "Charlie Burt" played
by Sam Lewis, brought down the
house when he tried t 0 ask for
his girl.
Visitors in Saura City said they
i
had never seen a better amateur
production. We are proud of our
boys and girls and—well anyway
Saura City does things.

j

| mitteemen and Supervisors tu
make the survey and to get the
information were appointed and
given their instructions last week.
The equipment with which to do
i work is expected this week. Just
I
' how long it will take t 0 complete
the work is a matter of conjec
ture but those in charge hope to
receive the active co-operation of
the growers and to complete the
job as quickly and with as little
expense as practicable. Certain
ly, it is hoped that it can be com
j pleted before curing starts.
' The County Committee, charge
! of compliance work, urges land
' owners to assist the committee
men and supervisors with this
program. Where the land owner
is unable to be present to give
the necessary information and
assistance required for certifica
tion of his farm or farms he
should have some one represent
ing him on the job for this pur
pose. No farm can be either sur
veyed or certified until either the
owner or his representative furn
ishes this co-operation. In some
instances the owner may be un
able, to assist with this work
when the supervisor comes to his
place. In such an instance he
should advise the supervisor
as to when he can assist
him. . Only one supervisor or
committeemen will visit each farm
and it is assumed that the owner
or his representative will furnish
all of the necessary assistance.
It is to the interest of the
farmer to have his farm certified.
Where a farm is certified as meet
ing the compliance requirements,
the grower and his tenants will
! sell tobacco tax free and will re
ceive the equalizing payments
provided under the contract.

The grower has the right to

appeal from the report of the

supervisor's figures be rechecked

where he feels that it will be to
