bacco referendum of July 20 will be
concluded tomorrow night at Bob
bitt. when G. \V\ Knott. George A
Rose. Sr.. il. F. Logy and F. B. Rob
ards will address a meeting in Gill's
store. 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. Thigpen. marketing specialist ol
the federal AAA, addressed a large
crowd.
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. Sun
ders. and a vote somewhat smaller
than the 2.737 ballots cast in the ref
erendum of last October is expected.
In a statement today regarding
the referendum. E. V. Floyd. 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

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. Hunt told the officer
, that he was leaving i'or his home
nearby. Warren trailed him, and thai
iie fired on him. Hunt told the of
. ticer that he fled the scene, and dis-J
I carded his pistol by giving it a fling

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.
