The first letter was conerning the acreage the farmers de ired to plant in corn, truck and ther crops except cotton, tobacco nd peanuts for market. I have reeived about 85 per cent of the letsrs back and unless I receive the alance within 5 days it will oe ecessary for the committee to set p basis for the farm on the basis f crops planted in 1937. The other letter mailed to cotton roducers requesting those proucers that were allotted more acrege than they desired to plant in 938 to return the acreage to this ffice with the understanding that hey would get the cotton back in 939 if they desired it. I would apreciate prompt action in both cases. Cotton and tobacco producers will sceive their payments on these rope in 1938 if they plant within fie alloted acres. There will be a ayment made for carrying out radices as listed in the small bulitin sent out with the let;er on eneral crops. The penalty for over planting itton is 5c per lb. and tobacco 10c er lb. From these figures you can isiiy see that an acre of tobacco lanted in excess of your alloted :res will cost the producers between 10.00 and $80.00. This deduction ill be made from any payment that e might receive from the ccnservaon program. Under the marketing quota the ' enalty on tobacco is one-half the ' larket price or three cents per lb., hiehever is -he greater. The pen- 1 ty on cotton under the marketing ( rota is two cents per lb. for all ! >tton produced on the acreage in J ccess of the alloted acres( I sincerely hope that the farmers ( ill give the program a fair trial j id then if it fails to bring about , le desired results it may be dis- , irded. The marketing quota pro-. sion of the act must be voted on ich year by the producers and in ise more than two-thirds of those -1 )ting votes against the quotas this irt of the act will not be in force ir that particular year. I am sure lat the farmers of today are keepig up with the world market as we)l > with local markets. We hope to have worked out in a j :w days the payment a producer ill receive for carrying out the ' radices as listed, but we will not ( : able to give him his payments on ' >tton and tobacco until yields are orked out. We are over the rush in the office id any farmer having a question ! mcerning the program is requested ' i come in and let us try to clear 1 up for him. i !40 Realized From c Local Poppy Sale i The sum of $40.00 was realized ' om .he Annual Poppy Sale here I i Saturday which was sponsored j the American Legion Auxiliary ] ith Mrs. Sam Davis in charge. < !rs- Davis entertained on Saturday 1 'ternoon for the following children ' ho took part in the sale: Misses i atsy Rodgers, Ann Dowling, Mary < id Elizabeth Weston, Mary Allison ' L'odlin, Dot Odom, Kathrine Petar, ' lary Spott Baskervill, Margaret odwell, Lucy Seaman, Lula Mc- 1 raw Gay, Erin Woodall, ana nancy j oyd. ] Valter B.

Terrell gave notice of ? ippeal and his bond was set at < t20,000. He is now in the Warren s :ounty jail. i This was the second time that 5 Terrell had been tried by a War- 1 :en county jury on a first degree 1 nurder charge. He gained a new ) ;rial after conviction in May, 1937, 1 >f a second degree murder when the 1 State Supreme court ruled there vas an error in the trial judge's 1 iharge. He had been at liberty un- c ler $7,500 prior to the start of the s .econd trial. The state sought Terrell's convic- c ion of a first degree charge on the 1 jrounds that he left the scene of ;he fight, in which he was cut by ?night, rode nearly to Warrenton, ind came back with a gun and shot ?night. In the time between the 'ight and the shooting, the state lontended, Terrell had time to be:ome sufficiently calm for the ihcoting to be premeditated. The defense contended that Ter ell shot In self-defense and atempted to show that Knight was idvancing on lerreu wnen uc learned to the service station and 'ired the fatal shot. Another case which attracted in;erest and occupied considerable ;ime was the trial of James Rednand on a charge of highway rob>ery which was booked against him ifter Pink Rodwell, also negro, had jeen held up at the point of a pisel as he left the Warrenton post ifflce and relieved of $80.00 he had eceived from a Money Order.

Cole against R. S. Koonce and t A. B. Kocnce, partners, as a re- fc ult of injuries he sustained around c lay-break on the morning of Octo- s ler 14, 1935, when the Chevrolet he vas operating crashed into the f railer of a truck operated by the c Motor Transit Co., owned by t.he s lefendant. t Mr. Cole had returned from South E fill, Va., and had almost readied t lis home when his automobile E truck the rear of the trailer, re- i ulting with him suffering a permalent injury to his hip which causes E lim to favor one leg when he 0 valks. c Evidence was that the truck and c railer were parked on the right i ide of the highway, with not more han eighteen inches of the trailer emaining on the concrete. The defendants claimed that not only was he trailer lighted but that when ;he accident occurred it could be ieen for a distance sufficient for a :areful driver to have avoided itriking it. Mr. Cole testified that f the truck was lighted he did not iee the light, and that the defendmts were guilty of negligence in hat their driver left the truck jartly on the highway on a mining when a heavy fog prevented it rom being seen. Judge Williams at first over-iuled B i motion for a non-suit, but when v lounsel for t&e defendants cited e imilar cases in which non-suits had ieen granted the jurist threw the g :ase out of court. Attorneys for the r ilaintiff gave notice of an approvoked discussion over what John 5.
