A series of .twelve meetings in the county has been sponsored by the Henderson Chamber of Com merce. with the highlight of the series at Henderson last Saturday when J E.

Approximately 3.500 tobacco grow ers in Vance county will be eligible to vote in the referendum, it has been >tated by Count yAgent J. \V.

AAA executive officer of North Carolina State college, stated that literally millions of dollars in cash income to North Carolina farmers will be at •itake when tobacco growers go to the polls Saturday. Tobacco growers of the state can expect from $4,500,000 to S14.00U. 500 more tor their 1940 crop of to bacco if they approve three-year control instead of one-year control. !>ut they are certain to lose $28,000. 1(00 in government loans on this year's crop if they do not vote for some form of control. Governor Clyde R. Hoey and other leaders have said disapproval of quotas will mean "suicide" for to bacco growers, and business and professional groups will sutler in tui n. The federal government has prom ised lull financial support of the 194') flue-cured tobacco market, and pro tection of prices "at or slightly above" last years 14.9 cents per pound price level if three-year quotas :tr«. approved by two-thirds ot the roter.-. Also, there will be no reduc tion in allotments in 1941 if three year quotas are voted. On the other hand, Floyd states, 1941 allotments will be reduced 1" percent from 1940 allotments if one year quotas are approved, and he i>i\c' c'S that prices ot the 1940 crop New Hot Dog Prices Effective Monday, July 22 We will sell hot dogs at each 2 tor 15/ Due to the cost of weiners, rolls, slaw, onions, chili, mustard, together with the heat and service.

Hunt Held For Shooting Of Warren Miggie Hunt. Negro, is being held I in the city lock-up pending the out i come ol Muttnew Warren, another ! Negro. who is alleged to have been ; shot just above the heart by Hunt last night about 10:15 o'clock on Water street with a .32 calibre pistol. At Jubilee hospital. Warren's con dition was described as "sei ions", j Police Sergeant J. D. Peck, who took Hunt into custody this morning shortly after 9 o'clock at Rawles Grocery, where ihe Negro was em- j ployed, said Hunt told him that he ' and Warren had an argument dur ing the evening at Jim Broriie's store, on Water street, and a few licks had been passed.

Farmers Save On Interest Charges i Farmers in Vance county save 'about $4,600 a year as a result of legislation just enacted by Congress : affecting interest rates on Federal land bank and Land Bank Commis- 1 sion loans. The temnorary rate of 3 1-2 per cent on first mortgage land bank I loans will be continued for two years ending June 30. 1942. During this period the interest rate on first and | second mortgages Land Bank Com missioner loans will be reduced from 4 to 3 1-2 percent. Land bank and Commissioner loans were originally written at contract rates averaging about 5 percent. At present about 158 Vance coun- I tv farmers have land bank and Com missioner loans outstanding aggre gating S308.000. The difference be tween the contract rate and the tem porary rate thus effects a substan- ' tial saving for farmers.
