Tobacco Contracts
s To Cover 4-Year
Period, Says Agent
5' By R. H. BRIGHT
11
j The new tobacco contracts will
cover a period of four years. Starte
ing in 1936, the contract will run
11 until 1940, or through 1939. This
contract will show base acres
^ and base pounds, but will not
have acres and pounds shown for
it the base years. Any contract signt
er may cancel his or her contract
e by notifying the Secretary of Agri>,
culture in writing on or before
- July 1 preceding the year he or
she wishes to cancel. There will
y not be any rental paid under the
s contract but a payment will be
e made on production,
e It is not known at the present
time just how mych tobacco will
e be needed in 1936 therefore the
* per cent of the base acres that may
e be planted is not stated in the
contract, but the producer will be
notified not later than February,
2938, now many acres ne may
plant under his or her contract. In
? no case will a producer be required
to reduce more than 35 per cent
s of the base acres as shown in the
d contract. The base acres and base
I pounds will be written in the cona
tract at the time the operator signs
II and these figures will not be
changed.
Our present plans are to come
plete the marketing cards for this
year and notify the producers that
y they may sign for their cards and
0 also sign the new contract at the
county agent's office. TSiis notice
0 will go out soon and all producers
are urged to attend to this matter
11 at once as it is believed that a good
11 sign-up will have some influence
on the market.

UNTY OF WARREN, N. C., 1
Negro Boys Win 1
Plack For Efforts
At National Meet
With a plack in their possession
for making the third highest score '
in the nation, Parry Jones and
Paul Green, negro students of the
Warren County Training School, ,
returned to their native county
frcm the Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee,
Ala., where they participated
in a national contest of voca- 1
tional students. They were accom
panied bv Prof. J. L. Bolton, voca- 1
tioiial teacher, and Professors ?
Cheek and Wynn. I
The two other states to make a *
better showing than North Carolina
at the national contest were ?
Mississippi, with a score of 1602, t
and Georgia, with a score of 1587, t
as compared with a score 1509 t
made by this state. The 1509 >
points made by the representatives i
of this state gave North Carolina t
the highest score of any eastern
state. t
The Wise Training school won 1
the right to participate in the 1
national contest by winning out in $
a state contest 'held at A. & T. College,
Greensboro, on April 10-11-12. '
Jones served as a member of the
state judging team, and received a
cash prize of $4.00 for making an
outstanding score in judging mules.
Green served as secretary for the
national organization and, accord- j
ing to Prof. Bolden, performed his (
duties in a manly way. He is the j
son of Paul Green of Manson, and ,
Jones is the son of Waverly Jones ]
of Wise. j
According to Prof. Bolden, none .
of the party had ever before been j
so far south and all were impress- ,
ed with the large school plant that ,
was founded by Booker T. Wash- |
ington. ISie school, he said, has
everything that goes to make a i
small city, from bank, post office J
and drug stores, to church and
cemetery. "It would inspire anyone
to see this extended school
olant." 1

1. A young white woman, a widow,
with two small children, needs
food and clothes.
2. Money is needed for a brace

3. Money, food and clothes needed
for an old colored couple who
has been burned out. They lost
their home and nearly everything
they owned. They have no children
to aid them. . , ^
4. Mfcney, food and medicine
needed for a colored woman who
has cancer, goiter and tuberculosis.
5. Destitute colored family with

NUMBER 32
NEW POSTOFFKE
IS AUTHORIZED
Congressman Kerr Wires H.
A. Moseley That Building
Has Been Authorized
SITE IS NOT PURCHASED
A new post office has been authorized
for Warrenton, it was
learned yesterday from H. A.
Moseley, who had with him a wire
t-o this effect from Congressman
John H. Kerr.
The telugram from Congressman
Kerr to Mr. Moseley simply stated
chat "Construction of post office
in Warrenton authorized," and gave
no hint as to plans for the erec- 1
[ion of the Federal building here.
So far as could be learned yesterday
afternoon from officials In
the local post office and business
men iiere, the site upon which the
new building is to rest has not
oeen purchased.
A government official was here
oeveral weeks ago looking over
suitable sites for a post office, and,
it was stated, found some property
which met with his approval, but
a check-up at the Register of
Deeds office yesterday showed
that the real estate which ire inspected
had net changed hands. N"^J|
Among the places the post office
official looked over were the '
Harrison Taylor corner, where Miss
Bessie Taylor maintains hei millinery
establishment; the Standard
Oil Company property, opposite
Hotel Warren; the A. A. Williams J
property, where W. R. Lancaster
carries on his mercantile business;
the Ben Powell property, where hl3 >
home is located; the Summerfield
lots, between the Citizens Bank and
R. R. Rodwell's store.
Although some of the places
mentioned were found to be too
small on account of the fact that
nnsf nfflp.PR orp nnk prppfcpri ?A1a.
,? ?
cent to other buildings, some of
fee property was found to be suitable,
it was stated.
At the time the government official
was here he was quoted as
having stated that the chances of
Warrenton receiving a new post
office would be more favorable if
the people of the town and community
cooperated with the government
and not raise the price on
the property sought by the government.
Authorization of the new post
office does not mean that the
building will be constructed if the
people served fail to show that they
want it, one of those who was in
close contact with the government
official when 'he was here inspecting
the property stated.
Rprlurps Ratp On
Petroleum Product*
Raleigh, Aug. 15.?Stanley Win.
borne, State utilities commissioner,
Thursday afternoon issued an order
granting rail freight carriers in
North Carolina immediate reductions
in transportation rates for
petroleum products, estimated to
be equivalent to about one-half
cent per gallon of gasoline handled
between Wilmington and some 200
inland North Carolina points, but
refused to write in a condition
that the lowered rates expire June
30, 1937, as petitioned by the railroads.
Commissioner Winborne said he
could not estimate how much the
reduction might amount to in dollars
annually. Similar reductions
were scheduled to become effective
in a number of Southern States
Thursday for interstate rates in
this section.

far as 270 miles from Wilmington
and vary according to destinations
with the average cut being about
eight cents per hundred pounds.
The scale moves from three to 17
cents.
Motor truck carriers of petroleum
products opposed the railroad rate
| reductions but Commissioner Winbome
set forth that at a hearing
ton the matter, held August 8, the
truckers failed to present testimo
ny showing1 that the reduced rates
would be non-compensatory or
would put truck operators out of
business as alleged in the petition
of protest. The order includes there
was no evidence that the reduced
rates are "even as low as now
charged by the contract motor
operators." . J
