In an effort to rid themselves of competition from North Carolina, Virginia planters in 1679 secured the passage of an act prohibiting ship ment of tobacco grown in North Car olina through her ports. Carolina’s undeveloped ports at that time forced the use of Virginia ports. Tobacco planters in North Carolina suffered under this act until it was repealed in 1731 by the King of England. 3. In addition to license taxes col lected from each A. B. C. Store the State collected $480,709 in sales taxes. 4. During the 1897 fusion legisla ture. Fights and disturbances came so often that officers of the law were required at times to keep members in order. 5. The total value is $3,177,741. This includes 9.445 acres of land valued at $792,765. The value of these properties are being revised and brought up to date now. 6. William Blount.

South Carolina held the ship’s cap tain liable for duties on the entire shipment, regardless of the tact that it was for public use. At that time North Carolina had not adopted the United States Constitution and was considered as a foreign country. RETAIL GROUP PLANS FIGHT ON PROFITEERS Washington, Sept. il. —(AP) — The American Retail federation lave President Roosevelt a pledge today that it would do everything possible to discourage “war profit eering” in the retail industry. David R. Craig, president of the transmitted the pledge to the chief executive in a letter which said the organization desired to “place its entire facilities at the disposal of the national government in the ’Went of serious crisis.” The National Retail Dry Goods association received a request from Mr. Roosevelt yesterday to co-op erate in protecting the public from “unwarranted” price increases as a result of the European war. Lew Hahn, general manager, said the as sociation was in “complete agree ment” with the President. PRICE OF PEANUTS ADVANCING RAPIDLY College Station, Raleigh, Sept. 11. —Apparently the old law of supply and demand is still functioning for the peanut market, Dr. I. O. Schaub, director of the State College Exten sion Service, commented today. Quoting a report of the U. S. Bu reau of Agricultural Economics, Dr. Schaub said: “It has been a long time since the peanut market was as strong and as active as it is at the present time.” The supply of old crop peanuts in both the Virginia and North Caro lina areas and in the southeastern states is extremely light. Buyers in the city markets, concerned over the prospects of a shortage which might shut down their factories, have been willing to pay much higher prices than have prevailed recently. This is esperially true for Virginia type peanuts. At last, the average European has something to look forawrd to—Arm istice Day No. 2. SALLY'S SALLIES Registered U. S.

DAILY DISPATCH MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 11,1939 Motor Trucks Fill Big Need Daily Dispatch Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, Sept. 11.—Centering of at tention on war uses of trucks and other heavy motor transportation in these days of mechanized army units should not obscure the fact that they serve peacetime purposes as well, C. S. Schaub, of Apex, president of the North Carolina Truck Owners As sociation, said today. “We see in the papers how the German army has been able to pene trate Poland much faster than any one thought possible because of the efficiency of its motorized units— tanks, heavy trucks for men and . equipment, artillery, and so on,”'said j Mr. Schaub, “but nothing much has J ever been said in the papers about j the fact that in North Carolina, i where peace still reigns, slightly ! more than forty percent of all towns and communities are dependent en tirely upon motor trucks as their on ly means of overland freight trans portation. The figures show 1,329 communities so served, or a percent age of 40.4.” He pointed out that our large cities are depending more and more upon truck transportation for their sup plies of perishable foodstuffs. 1 “Prices of all consumer food pro ducts are soaring rapidly as a result of the war,” he continued, “and they would soar much more rapidly but for the efficiency of transportation service, with trucks contributing very largely to that efficiency.” 1 Then, with the ever-existing urge of the business man to talk about the Handicaps of taxation, he added: “And the prices of these truck transported commodities such as fruits, vegetables, milk, and so forth would be lower than they are if it were not for the heavy taxation of motor transportation.” Tobacco Workers In Canada Cared For by a Priest Delhi. Ont., Sept. 11.—While Reeve Albert Wilbur grew impa ent and talked of easing out of Delhi the hundreds of idle men who came here in search of work on to bacco plantations, a younthful par ish priest handed out meals by the thousands to all who came to his door. Father John Uyen of the Church of St. John de Brebeuf, oassed out 2.000 meals to the unemployed men who patiently waited in this tobac co town for the chance of a job. “I dont think he ought to do it”, declares Reeve Wilbur, who owns four tobacco farms and lives in a trim little house on the main street. “It merely serves to keep them here I much longer. There is no need for j us to create a soup kitchen here.” 1 If we don’t help them”, asks ! Father Uyen, “who will? They j should be given some form of tem ! porary assistance, at least. The ) meals will continue as long as the, men are here. Though I am able to’ see the viewpoint of town council, I find it possible at the same time to consider the plight of the men.” In one day he used 120 loaves of bread. Each is also handed a bag of bologna and jam sandwiches, “the main course and the dessert”, one transient termed : : t. Reeve Wilbur said today the army of unemployed would be pushed • out of town “gradually.” “They’re trying to hold up the I price at $4 a day”, he said. “A num -1 bei of them have turned down jobs 1 wnere the salary was lower.” j PLENTY OF GOLDEN CANE SYRUP FOR CLEVELANDERS Shelby, Sept. 11.—There’ll be plen ty of golden cane syrup in Cleveland county this winter to be used with hot biscuits, reports Farm Agent J. S. Wilkins. I All over the county farmers are pressing the sweet juice from cane and cooking it into syrup. After pro cessing the syrup is being stored for use * during the coming winter j months. j Agent Wilkins also reported that ; the cotton harvest is well underway | and that many ginners have started | operations. Capital Gossip By HENRY AVERILL Raleigh, Sept. 11.—The September 6 issue of “Employment news”, mimeographed publication of the North Carolina State Employment Service, is full of unusual items re garding work of the various offices over the State in placing applicants for employment. From New Bern’s office manager comes, for instance, the pertinent query, “can any other office match this one?” A minister planning his vacation was worried because there was no one to fill his pulpit. A representa tive of the New Bern office volun teered to help out and promptly made arrangements for two supply preach ers to serve in the regular pastor’s absence. Then there’s this tidbit from Lum berton: He was seventy years old, a farm er of some means, and owned a new horse and buggy. He needed a house keeper. The Lumberton office took the order and referred to him a fifty year old former cafeteria sup ervisor. After reading of their marriage in the local society columns the Lum berton interviewer, proud of her matchmaking ability, wrote: “Wo have no hesitancy in Feoorting this as a permanent placement.” At Greensboro there is registered one of the Jones boys, to-wit: Shad rach Meshack Abednego Jones. His mother calls him “Shack”. Jn the Chalotte office one of the registrants is a professional ball play j or< formerly connected with the New I York Yankees. I Durham has a young Viennese dor- J tor of laws, with both stenographic i and legal experience. He speaks 1 fluent English, French German, : ! Greek and Latin. I In Marion there is registered a [trombone player employed for a I dozen years in Keith’s vaudeville. Greensboro lists a young man with five years’ experience in the United [States Navy as aviation ordance man, three seasons work as instruc tor for a flight training school in Miami, and seven months’ experi once with Loyalist aviation forces in Spain. Durham’s office got its first order for a woman chauffeur last week. Employer was a woman caseworker recently the victi mos a wreck. The successful applicant was a former teacher unemployed because of slight deafness. Salisbury’s commercial interview er visited a bakery unique because its owner is a woman who received j her start making pies and cakes at home to be sold to a local grocery store. Now her plant employs 35 persons. At Mount Airy a representative went to a ball game, got into casual conversation and went back to the office with orders for apple pickers and bean pickers. And on the whole, reported the News,' this State ranked twelfth in the nation in July. placements which were 36 percent over July, 1938. W. T. Moss Attains Success With Farm ’ Near Youngsville Franklintpn, Sept. 11.—W. T. Moss, of Youngsville, watches little things about his farm, and therein lies much of the reason for his success, believes W. C. Boyce, Franklin coun ty farm agent of the State College Extension Service. On a recent visit to the West Edge combe test farm, Moss observed that livestock east first the grass grown on fertilized plots. This bore out an observation he had made on his own ■ farm. 1 At another time, this Franklin ( county farmer noticed his colts on pasture eating red clay which had been removed from the ground where post holes had been dug. The animals eating this clay were being fed a mineral mixture containing bone meal, lime, and salt. After thinking the problem over, he arrived at the conclusion that the animals were not getting enough iron in their diet. So he added this ele ment to the ration. These and other observations led him to the well-founded rationaliza tion that animals will balance their diet by picking up feed essential for proper development if given an op portunity. “For this reason plane,” Agent Boyce commented, “paslures should receive regular applications of fer tilizer. This material, of course, will increase the quantity of feed pro duced, which in turn will provide grazing for more animals.” Many Franklin county farmers, like Mr. Moss, are putting plant food into their pastures. Lime and triple uperphospatie, obtained as grants of ud through the AAA program, are making for better grazing over the mtire county, Agent Boyce said, -•aige amounts of hese materials are jeing ordered thro igh the agent’s of ice each month.

(Central Press) week, D. S. Weaver, evtension agri cultural engineer at State college, announced today. Designed to point the way to ward one of the State’s greatest needs, the meetings are expected to attract large numbers of growers, as well as others interested in better pastures and fences. Merchants will meet with the growers and county agents and lend their support in working out a practical program for their coun ties. In addition to the discussions, demonstrations on the erection of woven wire fences will be held. The schedule of meetings follow: Tuesday, Lenoir county will hold its meeting on a farm near Kin ston, the place yet unannounced, fencing program will be held this at 9:30 a. m.; Wednesday, Duplin farmers will gather at the court house in Kenansville at 9:30 a. m.; Wednesday afternoon, Sampson growers will meet in the (jpurt house at CClinton at 2:30; Friday, Johnston farmers are scheduled to meet in the American Legion hut in Smithfield at 9:30 a. m.; and Saturday, Nash growers will meet n the court house at Nashville at 9 a. m. Preliminary meetings have al ready been held in several coun ties, leading to the general meetings scheduled for this week. Those at tending these “feeler” sessions have shown a great deal of interest in the program, Weaver said. In addition to Weaver, other State college men who will take part at these meetings are: A. C. Kimrey, extension dairyman; L. I Case, extension beef . cattle and sheep specialist; and H. W. Taylor extension swine specialist. Similar meetings have already jeen held in Edgecombe and Ire fell counties. England and France attempting to come to their aid now realize the truth of that old saying: As far away as ihe Poles.” Once more the map publishers leel like abandoning pen and ink and just outlining European coun tries with flexible rubber bands. 5-10-20-25 Years Ago (Taken from Daily Dispatch Files) September 11, 1934.

SERMON ON WAR IS HEARD BY PRESIDENT Hyde Park, N. Y., Sept. 11.—(AP) —President Roosevelt drove through rain Sunday to the same tiny Episco pal church where he and King George VI of England worshipped together three months ago. With his mother by his side, he heard Rev. Frank R. Wilson read one of the lessons from the second chapter of Habakkuk, in which the Lord speaks to the prophet Habak kuk. “Because thou has plundered many nations,” Mr. Wilson read, “all the remnant of the peoples shall plunder thee, because of men’s blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all that dwell therein.” After the services, the President returned to his home where a di-, rect telephone wire from Washing ton brought him the State Depart ment’s latest information on the war overseas. Mr. Roosevelt had no appoint ments for the day, but a few friends and neighbors dropped in during the afternoon. This is the ideal season for the suburbanite.
