Civil Service Commission
Outlines Duties and Pay
for New Officers
While up to the present time com
pulsory grading of tobacco has not
been inaugurated on any North Caro
lina tobacco market, so far as has
been learned here, the United States
Civil Service Commission is arrang
ing for examinations for prospective
graders. This leads to the speculation
that referenda may shortly be under
taken in certain markets to determine
the wishes of the growers patronizing
the markets.
The examinations announced pro
vide for “associate tobacco inspector’’
at a minimum salary of $3,200 per
year; “assistant, tobacco inspector,”
minimum salary of $2,600 per year,
and an examination for “junior to
bacco inspector,” with a salary of i
$1,440 during a training period and j
$2,000 per annum after passing a
practical test in tobacco grading. Ap- j
plications must be on file with the;
commission in Washington not later
than June 4, the announcement says,
adding that full information may be
obtained at any first class or second
class post office or at the Civil Ser
vice Commission.
Appointments to be made under
these examinations, it is stated, will
be in the tobacco section, Bureau of
Agricultural Economics, Department
of Agriculture, and for the adminis
tration of the tobacco inspection act
passed last year by Congress.
Appointees to the positions of as
sociate and assistant inspectors will
be selected for their demonstrated
ability as judges of tobacco and will
undergo a course of training in the
United States standard tobacco grades
They will be required to pass prac
tical tests before being entrusted with
the inspection of tobacco on auction
floors.
The position of junior inspector is
rated as an apprenticeship. Prelim
inary to appointment in this grade,
candidates who qualify in the civil
service will be eligible for appoint
ment as trainees at a salary of $1,400
per annum. In this capacity, they will
perform various duties of such a na
ture if they have natural aptitude for
tobacco work they may be given suit
able training for inspection work.
Those who are able later to pass a
practical test will be eligible for ap
pointment as junior inspectors at $2,-
000 per annum and may be retained
for further training.
The bureau plans to expand its ser
vice on auction markets only as it
can obtain or develop men competent
to do the work, the announcement
said. The demand for tobacco inspec
tion and tobacco market news service
is expected to increase rapidly as a
result of the enactment of legislation
at the last session of Congress, it is
stated.
As a result of referendums among
tobacco growers held under the pro
visions of the act, all fire-cured and
two dark air-cured tobacco markets
in Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee
have elected to have the service, says
the announcement, adding that rer
ferendums will be held in other tobac
co growing districts. Less than five
percent of the votes cast in referen
dum to date have been unfavorablfe
to the tobacco inspection service,
says the bullletin of the < ommission.

Two More Stores To Open
In 30 Days; Many Oth
ers Remodeled
Rose’s 5-10-250 Stores, operating in
five southern states and with home
offices here, where the chain was
founded, is pushing its program of
expansion, and by the end of the
year expects to reach the total num
ber of 100 stores. With the recent
opening of stores in Mount Olive and
Winder, Ga.. a total of 91 stores are
now operating in North Carolina, Vir
ginia, South Carolina, Tennessee and
Georgia.
A building is being remodeled at
Belhaven and one is under construc
tion at Maryville, Tenn., for new
stores, which will open in the next 30
days. Properties have just been leas
ed at Rutherfordton and Forest City,
N. C., and Lebanon, Tenn., the first
two to open around July 1 and the
other August 1. These additions will
make a total of 96,
A building has been leased adjoin
ing the present store in Louisburg,
and this has just been completely re
modeled to give twice the space as
heretofore. The store at Gaffney, S.
C., has also just been remodeled, and
a few weeks ago work was completed
on remodeling the Clinton, S. C.,
store, which now is twice its former
size.
Another building has recently been
leased at Dunn, this one adjoining
the present store, and when occupied
will give the store 50 percent more
sales space.
The company expects to round out
its full 100 stores by the early or mid
fall season. It is .the largest chain of
its kind operating exclusively in the
Sout . Virtually the entire business is
owne by Henderson people, headed

In The Service Os The People
In becoming a candidate for the
State Senate in the Democratic primary
of Saturday, June 6, I do so in the desire
to go to the legislature to serve to the best
of my ability the people of Vance and
Warren counties and the State.
I have never voted except in Vance
county, having lived here virtually ever
since becoming of voting age, and dur
ing that 21 years have never voted any
thing but the Democratic ticket for all of
fices, from President down to constable.
I think I know something of the
struggle of most people for a livelihood,
having been born of humble parentage
and reared in an orphanage, and then
working my way through college. Hard
work has been my lot through these years,
more than 21 of which have been spent in
this county and among the people of this
community.
In my connection with your local
da:ly newspaper all of this time, I have
always worked for the progress and ad
vancement of this city, county and sec
tion, and have ever sought to be fair and
square in my dealings with every one.
And that would be my policy in the leg
islature.
It is easy to think up numerous ques
tions that may face the 1937 General As
sembly and to undertake to state one’s
views about them. Many of them would
soon be forgotten if that were done.
Two of the big issues that now ap
pear certain to claim a great deal of at

SATURDAY, MAY 23, 1936
average bacteria count over a given
period of time does not exceed 50,000
per cubic centimeter, each unit con
taining 15 drops. Among other require
ments are that the temperature must
not be above 50 degrees Fahrenheit
prior to delivery, and the butter fat
and cream content must be at least
3.25 percent.
The health office added this:.
“All cows must be tested for tuber
culosis, and I wish to say that all
these herds have complied with this
requirement. Besides, the Brookside
dairy has had the entire herd of 84
tested for Bangs disease, or what is
more commonly known as contagious
abortion, and the entire herd was
found free from this disease. This is
the disease among milk cows that
may cause undulant fever among
those who drink the milk. This is
the only herd in Vance couniy tested
for the latter disease.”

tention in the legislature next year are
the sales tax and the problem of handling
liquor.
I am uncompromisingly in favor of
taking'the sales tax off all the principal
articles of food and removing all of it
from every other commodity or article if
possible to do so.
I am in favor of keeping liquor con
trol and liquor revenue at home. I am
opposed to State control of liquor stores
and against the State taking any part of
the revenue from county ABC stores.
No man can say definitely eight
months before the legislature meets exact
ly what that body will be called upon to
do in every case, nor the form in which
the issues will present themselves. But
on all these questions it will be my pur
pose to support or oppose them in the
degree of their benefits toward the wel
fare and the good of the people of this
district and of the State.
If you send me to the State Senate, 1
pledge my honest and conscientious ef
forts to serve your best interests in every
way possible. I reiterate that lam not
the tool or ally of any interest or organi
zation or individual, have no ax to grind
and no pet hobbies or measures to try to
enact into law for the benefit of a favored
few.
If you think I am the kind of a citi
zen you would like to send to the legisla
ture, I ask and will appreciate your vote
and your support.
