Tobacco Area Congress
man Get House Agree
ment to Ta k e Up
Flannagan Bill
Washington. Tobacco area
congressman yes' irday secured
an agreement with the House lead
ership under which the Flanna
gan bill increasing the parity
price of flue-cured tobacco ap
proximately 20 per cent, will be
acted upon as soon as Congress
resumes business after election.
I
Representative Harold D. Cool
ey disclosed that Speaker Ray-.
burn and members of the rules
I
committee, including Representa
tive J. Bayard Clark of Fayette-1
ville, had agreed to give the meas
ure legislative right-of-way, and |
expressed confidence that speedy
passage would result.
"I think it is safe to predict
that we will be able to get a sat
isfactory rule and that the bill
Will pass soon after the House
reconvenes for the transaction of
business", Cooley stated.
' The agreement causing this op
timistic view on the part of the
fourth district congressman was
reached just before the House in
formally agreed to recess at
three-day intervals from now un
til after election.
No fear vras expressed that the
bill would be voted down once it
came before the House under reg
ular procedure since it lacked j
only 17 votes of receiving the ne-1
cessary tv/o-thirds vote under (
suspension of rules proceedings
last Wednesday. At that time
the vote was 163 to 107 in favor
of the measure.
Because of this delay in secur
ing final passage of the Senate
approved measure, Cooley said
that steps undoubtedly would be
taken to postpone the referen
dum on dark types of tobacco.
In addition to increasing parity
for flue-cured tobacco, another
Section of the bill also proposes
reclassifying dark typea to meet
changing conditions resulting
from the war.

Those Stokes Hills
It was my pleasure Thursday
night to attend a gathering of
members of the American Legion
and others at Hanging Rock
Park, near Danbury, where a de
licious fish fry was served to ail
present. A Yadkin ville man, Mr.
L. M. Brumfield, now in charge
of certain farm and dairy pro
jects in Stokes county, was mast
-ler of ceremonies. Mr. Brumfield
i
has been in Stokes county more
1 than a year and is well liked by
'farmers and business men of
I
that county.
I love to go back to those old
Stokes county hills—the hills I
used to roam around Moore's
Springs and Piedmont Springs
with jolly good folks who visited
the springs for health and pleas
ure. Both hotels have since
burned and now good health-giv
ing water is going to waste at
both places, but at Moore's I can
still see old man Shelton, that
sturdy old character who lived
nearby, coming down the road
with'his hands locked behind him.
He loved to hear the merry laugh
of the young set and watch the
older ones pitch horse-shoes and
play set back, between meals of
friend chicken and country ham.
At the site of Piedmont hotel
I can hear the hearty laugh of
that grand old man, Spot Taylor,
' owner of the hotel, as he sat on
i
the lawn with his guests and told
'good stories. He was at home
with them all, the young, the old
and the middle aged—they were
all good folks to him. He was a
lovable old man and was hap
. piest when others around him
were happy. This good man
since parsed to his reward, but
left behind of the richest
heritages a man can leave a
number of children, who like their
father, labor for the benefit of
their native county and have con
tributed greatly to its growth.
