Gregg Cherry, J 'of Gaston, say he is paddling his, canoe toward the Speakership of j the 1937 House. They say he has abandoned any idea of running for Governor. At least he has told some folks that he wants to come back to |t^e Legislature one more time. If he seeks to weild the gavel over the 120 Representatives he is likely to find Representative R. F. (Jack) Morphew, of Graham, grabbing for the handle in the Democratic caucus two years hence. Ambitions make political history. j OPPOSITION?North Carolinians are writing their Senators and Congressmen to oppose the Rayburn bill which would respose authority to fix rates in the federal power commission. State regulatory bodies would find their hands pretty well tied under the Rayburn bill and Tar Heels still are suffering from federal discrimination in the matter of freight rates. Considerable sentiment against the Rayburn bill has been manifest in Raleigh especially among persons owning stock in domestic power companies. They fear its passage would reduce the value of their holdings. MARATHON?The boys who know their legislatures say that a real (bombshell exploded when the motion was made in finance committee to reduce the sales tax rate from three to two per cent.

BRIGHT County Agent Cotton farmers are beginning to inquire about their cotton acreage under the 1934-35 cotton contract, rhe cotton contract calls for a special base acreage and pounds. This base is the average acreage for the base period 1928-32 inclusive. The base pounds is the average production for the base period 1928-32 inclusive. From these bases the per# mitted acreage under the contract is computed and the pounds that will be alloted. Suppose a cotton farmer grew an Qvpracrp nf 9.0 nnrps nf rnhhnn riur ing the base period and produced 250 pounds of lint per acre. In 1934 he was required, under the contract, to reduce his base acreage not less than 35 per cent and not more than 45 per cent. Suppose this producer reduced 40 per cent; he would have been permitted to plant 12 acres of cotton, and rent to the Agricultural Adjustment Administration 8 acres. His allottment under the contract, in pounds, .would have been 3,000 pounds. ISiis figure was reduced by the Bankhead Act 4 per cent. In 1935 the contracting growers will be permitted to rent as much as 35 percent of the base acreage I to the Agricultural Adjustment Adjministration or as little as 25 peri | cent of the base acreage. I am sure that when the cotton producers understand the situation they will rent the greater percentage, because under the Bankhead Act there will not be sufficient cotton to make allottments on the greater acreage permitted under the contract. This means that regardless of the acreage of cotton planted in the county the Bankhead Allottment will be the same. Last year cotton growers that produced lint in excess of the Bankhead Allotment could purchase certificates at four cents per pound. The tax on excess allotments was .567 cents per pound. Now in 1935 if there is a normal cotton crop there will not be any certificates sold and the tax will probably be increased. This means that the cotton producer that plants the greater acreage under the contract I . ' ? ' -C 1. 4-Urt Will prODaDiy ue iurueu iu yay urc (Continued on page 10) Nancy K.

Health Officer Says Around 1000 Cases Of Measles There are around 1000 cases of (measles in the county, Dr. G. H. Macon, county health officer, stated this week. Lamenting the fact that deaths have occurred in this county as a result of measles and that the disease has also enfeebled the health of children, the county physician reiterates the advice which he gave at the beginning of the epidemic? "Place your child in the hands of your regular family physician when the first symptoms of measles or other diseases appear." "Three deaths have occurred recently which were directly traceable to measles, and already many children's health is being impaired as a result of having had measles. If allowed to drag on without the attention of a physician, a hopeless condition will exist and sooner or later an unnecessary death will oc 1 ?? ~ nViil/4 ttrlm cur suuie neipicoa v.uuu miu could not speak for itself.

Mr. Burwell was on his farm a few miles from Warrenton examing tobacco plants when he suffered a heart attack which preceded death by only a few minute,';.

Cow Mad; Negro Takes Treatment A cow which he examined having been proclaimed mad, Charlie Williams, negro of Warrenton, began last night taking the Pasteur treatment to offset any chance of hydrophobia . The treatment is being administered by the county health officer. Realizing that his cow was sick and thinking the animal was choking to death,, Williams ran his hand part of the way down the cow's mouth before the thought came to him that hydrophobia was tne cause of her condition, it was stated. The head of the animal was later sent to the state laboratory, and according to Williams, she was proclaimed mad. The cow showed signs of sickness on Thursday of last week and on Sunday she was killed, the negro stated. SERIOUSLY ILL Friends regret to learn that Mrs. R. B.
