Sale will begin today and continue id through Christmas, Miss Kate It White Williams, county chairman, te announced this week. 5- Proceeds from the sale will be used in the fight on tuberculosis, ss with three-fourths of the funds se3r cured being used to check the dis;o case in this county and the remaining fourth going to the North Caro1. lina Tuberculosis Association at j0 Winston-Salem, Miss White said. j.

The test case was brought by ;s the E. B. Ficklen Tobacco Company ;n against A. J. Maxwell, commissioner is of revenue. Scrap tobacco sales have been limited under the allotment system farmers finding it more profitable to sell their surplus poundage for U five cents per unit rather than use, their cards in the marketing of the j inferior tobacco for one or two ie cents a pound is No official estimate is available, I jl "but it is believed that the $1,000 ii- j cense fee for scrap tobacco dealers I io and the quota system will hold mil- j i_ lions of pounds of inferior tobaccos ?ff fVio mnrirpt.q The revenue ac- ! V/li VKV f. cruing to the farmer from the sale J ie of scrap amounts to little, but much can be gained when the farmer y spreads the sorry leaf in the fields s as a fertilizer. The tax, enacted by the 1937 General Assembly, requires firms which _ purchase scrap tobacco to pay a $1,r. 000 annual license fee for each county in which they operate. U Associate Justice Heriot Clarkson ia who wrote the opinion in the case, [_ held that the tax was not "discriminatory, unreasonable, prohibitory or vague." a "If the amount of the tax is such g as to render it onerous," he wrote, A "the primary recourse of the taxr payer is to the legislative forum; y the power of this court to deal with such matters is exceptionally unusual, rather than general and ordinary." c- Justice Clarkson pointed out that h a tax on scrap tobacco enacted by r- the 1935 general assembly was de ' ? J- A'Urt u> clared unconstitutional?out UIl Ulc | t- grounds "of vagueness and uncer _ tainty." "The act here considered is free j, of the fatal shortcomings of the prior act," he added.

Mi RENTON, COUNTY OF WAB I MOSTLY | | PERSONAL ? By BIGNALL JONES |r#[ n, There is an old hymn that says count your blessing one by one- And in spite of the fact that sometimes I find the world's Pollyannas slightly wearing, Thanksgiving is a season for counting blessings and for returning thanks to the Creator of all. In such a tallying of good fortunes I place above all, now more than ever in my life, the fact that I was so fortunate as to be born a citizen of the United States of America. That is such a blessing that it seems almost superfluous to count the others. I am not proud because America is the richest, the most powerful country on earth, for there is much more to living than riches and brute strength. But I am thankful that I live in a country of peace and good will. I am proud that here minority groups and races can live in peace side by side; that there are no pogroms. I am proud that here peoples from many lands have been merged into one great people who are content to settle their differences at the ballot boxes. I am thankful of my privilege to cuss the Government, the Administration, or anybody else I choose just as long as I choose without fear of persecution; to have no brake upon free speech other than the rightful one of public opinion- I am thankful for the privilege of worshipping according to the dictates of my own conscience and for the privilege of not worshipping as I may choose. I thank God that I live in no fear of falling bombs from the airplanes of a country that neglects to declare war before beginning its destruction, r ao not return tnanits that I am not as citizens of other countries, but for my good fortune in living in America which still, thank God, remains the land of the free. Several weeks ago about the time of the Munich Conference, I stood in the door of a store waiting for my wife to finish shopping. I looked out over the crowded street. Groups moved about talking. . . a merry laugh sounded. ... a young woman pushing a baby carriage stopped to chat with friends who, all smiles, peeped into the vehicle. No terror gripped this mother as the drone of an airplane drifted to her, no panic seized the work-aday throng on the street, for if they were conscious of the plane at all they knew it was on an errand of peace- I thought of these things as I waited. I reflected on the peace of the little town, which typifies the peace of a great country, and some way or another the lesser troubles that I bear seemed to fall away. And may the Lord go with thee, keep thee and give thee peaceLast Saturday while Jews in Germany fled in terror of their lives, 50 thousand American citizens gathered in a stadium and cheered Marshall Goldberg, a Jew, as he raced for the goal line with a football. In another stadium thousands of Protestants and Catholics alike cheered Notre Dame, a Catholic school whose team is made up of players of almost unpronounceable names?sons of fathers who came to this country from European countries?as it triumphed over Northwestern University. And in that same stadium other thousands, Jew and Gentile, black and white, cheered themselves hoarse over the playing of a Negro back on the Northwestern team. Providence is kind to allow one to live in a country where such things are taken is a matter of course. And so long as this spirit of tolerance remains, so long as there is free speech, freedom of spirit, good sportsmanship, our citizens can always return fervent thanks for the great privilege of being citizens of America, one of the few remaining lands of freedom, good will and of peace.

Hunter Pinnell reported Wednesday on the eve of ] Thanksgiving when the ban lifted on rabbit hunting. ] The duck season opened on the 15th of this month and those who 1 pursue this sport joined with rabbit. hunters in the trek to the woods 1 and through the swamps of the county on Thanksgiving. 5 A word of warning comes from the game warden as the season is 1 about to open. He cautions all 1 hunters to exercise care in the i handling of their firearms and i warns against shooting quail and 1 turkeys before the season for this i game opens on December 1. He also requests that hunters be care 1 ful about throwing burning cigarettes and matches away. I Hogs Increased . In Cotton Area 1 i Raleierh.?Farmers are finding i pigs more profitable than cotton m 3 North Carolina. i That's the opinion of Paul L. c Fletcher, livestock marketing spec- t ialist of the North Carolina De- t partment of Agriculture, who reported that a special hog market- t ing survey conducted by the fed- I eral-state crop reporting service ^ "reveals that a 33 per cent increase i in hog population is indicated this 3 year in typical cotton-producing 1 counties compared with only 4.5 per f cent increase in the state's major I grain and vegetable producing areas" A 10 per cent increase in hogs this year compared with 1937 was I indicated for the commercial hog- ^ producing area of the state. ? "More and more, the farmers of 6 North Carolina are appreciating the < economic advantages of increasing s their livestock, especially since Hundreds of acres of land have been removed from cotton and tobacco production," Fletcher said. c "So long as Tar Heel farmers t rank 38th in farm cash income s from the sale of livestock and live- fc stock products, North Carolina can- s not be regarded as a balanced agricultural state," Fletcher added. r Mr. and Mrs. J- P.

This county's allotnent for 1938 was 18,130.2 acres. 1 This allotment represents this ;ounty s snare 01 tne asi.uai coiwn icres allotted to North Carolina for 1939 under the federal farm program. Of this total, 882,647 acres rave been divided among the state's :otton-growing counties. Of the balance, 16,128 acres have been held ;n reserve for allotment to new 'rowers and 32,256 acres have been reserved to be used to give all farmers in the State who have been producing as much as five acres an illotment of five acres, and the remainder is to be used to give all farms an equal share of the county illotment. ~ In addition to the original quota, this county will receive its proportionate share of the 32,256 acres and also will be allotted the number of acres required to give each individual producer an allotment equal to 50 per cent of the 1937 planted, plus diverted, acreage of cotton. The largest county allotment went to Robeson, which received 51,244 acres- The smallest allotment, 24 acres, went to McDowell, a mountain county that grows very little short staple cotton. nllnt.mpnta t.n inrilvlrliial farmers already have been worked , out for all counties by county AAA committees composed of local farmers. Cotton and flue-cured to- . bacco allotments to individual . farmers in all counties are expected to be made before the December 10 referenda on marketing . quotas. _ 1 Doubt In Meaning Of Amendment Is Expressed Here Now that voters of North Carolina have approved the constitu- 1 tional amendment for lengthening : the terms of office for sheriffs and coroners.to four years, these officials are wondering if the new law 1 applies to the term of office to which they were elected in November or if they must wait until another election and run on a fouryear ticket. Opinion is divided on this question, with some lawyers contending that the amendment will prolong by two years the terms of sheriffs now in office, and others holding that the amendment will not effect any sheriffs until two years from now ' when, under the old law, all would 1 be up for re-election. The Supreme court will probably be forced to decide the issue, and it is expected that a test case will be given the state's highest tribunal at an early date. Man Slightly Hurt When Cars Crash Gid Short of the Afton-Elberon neighborhood received a slight head injury on Tuesday night around 10 1 o'clock when the Ford autombile he was driving towards Warrenton was in collision with a Pontiac being operated towards Norlina by Edmund B. Wilkins of Henderson. The accident occurred about two ' miles from Warrenton on the Nor- : lina road. Short's automobile was said to have been traveling slightly over the edge of the center of the highway when the wreck occurred. Wil- ( kins was not hurt- Both vehicles j were damaged to a considerable ex- ( tent. 1 Large Audience Hears Dean House t A large and apprecative audience, j composed of members of the War- ( renton Reading Club and other citizens, assembled at the Warren , County Memorial Library on Thurs- J day evening of last week when Dean j R. B. House of the University of j North Carolina gave an inspiring talk on "Making A Life." He was j introduced by the Hon- John Kerr, } Jr. Mrs. Frank H. Gibbs, president , Df the Reading Club, expressed the sentiment of the entire group for a splendid and helpful message in be- i half of the club, which sponsored i the speaking. Dean and Mrs. ] House were dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. J A. Dameron on Thurs- ; day evening. 1 \ m airi - - > Vfl JT i ^^RATE, TERSE JlMELY I NUMBER 47 rOBACCO QUOTAS ARE INCREASED Growers To Be Notified Of Allotments Before Control Referendum j JP SIX MILLION POUNDS Tobacco farmerg of the nation vill have a slightly larger marketng quota next year than was given hem under the 1938 program. Secretary of Agriculture Henry L-. Wallace officially announced on Tuesday a national marketing quota if 754,000,000 pounds of flue-cured obacco for the marketing year be;inning July 1, 1939, which is six nillion pounds in excess of the 1938 luota as finally revised. State quotas, which are expected o be closely in line with the revised .938 figures, are expected to be anlounced next week and individual juotas will be mailed to each flue:ured tobacco grower of North CarDlina, South Carolina, Virginia, Georgia and Florida. A referendum will be held on the quota on December 10. This, it was >tated, will be the first refrendum ;ver held among farmers where the ndividual quota of each was known n advance. Reaction to these individual quotas are expected to de;ermine the fate of the referendum, in which the affirmative votes of two-thirds of those participating is required for the quotas to become effective. A referendum of cotton farmers tvill be held on the same date as that for tobacco growers. Issuing a statement urging a full vote in the referendum, Secretary Wallace said: Wants Full Vote "It is the desire of the department that as many farmers as possible vote in the referendum and that the vote cast by each person express his view as to whether the quotas should be in effect. "The 1938 tobacco quotas aided farmers materially in maintaining a good balance betw$gn supplies and demand, thus keeping the farm income from flue-cured tobacco at a reasonable level. "Several recommendations which should correct the difficulties en x 1 i? moo countered 111 ivoo nctvc utcn mau^ for the 1939 program by leading farmer representatives at a recent conference and by numerous other farmers through letters to the department One of the most Important recommendations which will be adopted for 1939 provides for the limitation of the quota transferred to any individual farm to a relatively small per cent of the quota for the farm. In other words, a producer who has tobacco materially in excess of his quota will be able to obtain by transfer from other producers additional quota sufficient to cover only a part of the excess. This provision would not affect transfers from farms where production was reduced because of unfavorable weather conditions. "It is not- expected that the quotas will be completely satisfactory to all farmers, because many growers desire to expand their production as a result of the favorable tobacco prices in recent years. However, cooperation by farmers in the tobacco programs clearly accounts for a great part of the difference between favorable prices for their recent crops and disastrously low prices such as those existing prior to the beginning of the program in 1933." With The Sick C R. Rodwell, who was taken seriously ill on the streets of Warrenton last week, continues to show gradual improvement at his home nere, it was reported yesterday.
