VOLUME IX Advises Against Selling Cotton At Present Prices Raleigh, September 14.—'“Th»- i purchasing power ot cotton today l is no greater than it was a year j ago, and the situation is an alarm- j ing one to me.” So said U. Benton Elalncjc, gen- : eral manager of the North Caroli na Cott n Growers Cooperative As- j social inn, before leaving early this j week for Washington in the inter- j est of cotton producers. “The ‘plow up campaign’,” he said, “went over in great shape and cut bur prospective 10,500,000 bale crop to an estimated due of 12,- 400,000 ljales. This move unques tionably largely responsible for the rise of approximately 50 per cent in cotton prices as compared with last year. “Due we are still far away from the pre-war parity of prices prom ised us by the administration un der the Agricultural Adjustment Act for the reason that the things which the farmer has to buy in many instances have increased in value or.e hundred per cent or more. “It seems that 1 undei the justment of prices under the Na tional Recovery Act, agriculture has not only been ui able to keep step with other industries but has been forced to lag still further be-1 hind in the prices for all farm i commodities." What to Do? Answering hi-s own questions. “And what are we to do about it?" ; Mr. Blalock said: “The Administration’s plan for! the control of production of cotton in 1934 and 1935 should be an-; nour.ced as speedily possible, and whatever is necessary in the way \ of a campaign for making the plan ' effective should be launched at ; once with the producers so that the cotton consuming world would know now what to expect from next year’s crop. “Second, if the Administration s*tiil holds trump cards in the way of inflationary measures, they should be played now and not aft er the cotton has passed out of the producers' hands. Higher prices in j January, March, or May will be of j no avail if the producer has no cot- j i ton t > sell. i “Third, every effort possible j I should be put forth by every agen-1 ( cy available to prevent a too-rapid , , movement into the markets <>f the 12.000,000 hales and more crop of this season. And most assuredly' every effort should be made to pre vent surplus cotton held by govern ment agencies being dumped on the market for the next several months in competition with our 1933 crop.” NKA And Textiles Pointing out that under NRA act- j tivities many lines of business are staging a comeback, Mr. Blalock said “it is .ot unreasonable to ex-! pect that the textile industry will again enjoy a season of prosperity, giving us greatly increased con sumption of raw cotton.” “It strikes me,” he said, “that any program which will help to bring about the higher price levels due cotton producers should have the active support of all business interests in the South, and espeeial ; ly of the bankers, supply mer-! chants and all credit agencies, gov ernmental and otherwise. To the L extent that you increase the buying fcpoyer of cotton producers you have Bine-reused prosperity for the South. ■ “\V e still have all confidence in 'the Administration will not be corn leave no stone unturned to help bring about these promised pre-war parity prices, and it is quite grati fying to note the announcement of Governor Henry Morgethau, Jr., ol the Far# Credit Administration, that Southern farmers who have . borrowed money from the Seed and Crop Production Loan office of the Almiriistf’ation will not be com pelled to sell their cotton to pay off their loans when they become due on October 31. 1933. Growers by storing iri approved warehouses, w-ill he allowed to market their cotton gradually over a period of several months instead of being forced to sell a large baleage dur ing a comparatively few weeks. . “The announcement is also made J that the growers will be allowed to I sell their seed and to draw 50 cents l per hundred on lirK for picking and ■ ginning expenses. B “It will be recalled that seed loan Ehr 2rbulnn Sir turd Special Notice To Correspondents Much copy did not reach us in time for publication ‘this week.

Massey One ot the most tragic and un fortunate things that have ever oc curred in our community took place last Saturday morning in Zebulon. Deputy sheriff G. C. Massey and G. C., Jr., who is constable for Lit tle River township, were driving along Gill street when they saw Elvis Richardson, a colored man for whom Sheriff Massey had a warrant. Mr. Massey called him to his car and stated that he had a warrant for Richardson’s arrest and asked him if he could give bond. Those present said that the colored mail started away, putting his hand to his hip pocket. Mr. .Va.-sey got out of his car and started towards Richardson who hew his pistol and began firing. G. C.. Jr., hurried to the assistance of his father. And when the shoot ing was over, Richardson was dead and Sheriff Massey had three biil !et wounds in his body. With a coolness very unusual for any ore, the younger Massey got his father into the car and hurried to the hospital in Raleigh. But the wounds were more serious than; was at first expected and he die-1 j early Sunday morning. Mr. Massey was a very popular official and | fearless in the execution of his du-, ty. He had arrested all sorts of law breakers and usually was able to do so without trouble. Richardson had a somewhat un savory reputation. He had been separated from his wife for some time. A short time ago he created considerable excitement at some sort of colored people’s affair by flourishing a pistol in a threaten ing manner. The warrant against him was for this act. It is said that lie had threatened Sheriff Massey, saying he would kill him before he would submit to arrest. Revival Services At Local M. E. Church A series of services in the local Methodist church will begin Sun day. September 24th, and continue the following week, services being held each evening. We are asking for the coopera tion of every member of the con gregation, members of all our church organizations, and all our Christian friends of the communi ty. Pray that God may use us to 1 glorify His name not only in these services but at all times. Dr. S. T. Gordon At Smithfield Dr. S. T. Gordon, one of the most noted Baptist preachers in America, will conduct a meeting in the Baptist church, at Smithfield, from September 17 to 24. He will deliver a series of his famous Quiet Talks. The services will be at 10 a. m. and 7:30 p. m. This will be a wonderful privilege to those who can hear Dr. Gordon. NOTICE The Circle of the Missionary So ciety of the Methodist church will meet at Mrs. Chas. E. Flowers’ on Friday night, September 15, at8:00 o’clock. Mrs. Wilson of the Wake lon faculty will speak on “Service.” borrowers were allowed to e llater jilize thri- loans last season at 9Vi cents per pound, and this plan has worked out very much to the ad vantage of the producers who stor ed their cotton, and with compara tively little loss to the Govern- , 'pent.” 1 ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA.

As shown by his record as j constable, G, C. makes a good offic er and his cool-headedness and con-1 duct in the deplorable affair that cost his father his life g<> to show that he has the qualities necessary to fill acceptably the position of fered him by Sheriff Turner. We . believe this appointment will meet with the approval of every citizen | of Little River township. 1 Baloonists Found Van Orman and Trotter, balloon- * ists. were lost in the Canadian j wilds for more than a week after j i having lived on berries during that time. They cut down a telephone j pole to insure their being found, leaving a note telling finders in j what direction to search. B th were j suffering from exhaustion and di-l gestive disturbances when found. | Their balloon had descended from a height of 8.000 feet, had struck a large pine and had been badly dam ! aged. | The War That Never Ends The American public has a war to fight every year. That war is against the accident menace —in industry, the home, on the high ways and elsewhere. This is not an empty parallel. Automobile accidents alone actu ally cost more lives than war. They i create as much suffering. They are even comparable to war in the eco ! nomic waste they entail. On a number of fronts this war 1 has been successful. In the industri-j I al field, tremedous progress in ac-1 eident prevention has been made. The roster of important industries ; which operate for months at a stretch without a single mishap of | importance, is constantly growing. The life and health of workers in! every producing field has never been better guarded—because man agement has been tireless in in- I stilling the doctriqf of safety-first into its employes. That is also true of children of school age. Thousands of young lives have been saved through I courses on caution and accident prevention. The great failure has been in the field of the automobile. Most years have seen decisive advances in the number of deaths and inju . ries over the last. the few times they have occurred, have been small. The reckless and in considerate driver has scored vic tory after victory. The result is that our public streets and high ways have become places of carn age. The never-ending war against ac cident must be fought with increas ing vigor if it is t» succeed. The ; dangerous driver is Public Enemy Number 1. He should be given the . treatment he deserves.

Bulla, health officer for j Wake County, ha- announced that! j there is in Raleigh an epidemic of , “pink eye.” Some think that the | gnats, unusually numerous this ' summer, may help spread the dis- j | ease, which is contagious. “Pink j eve” is not reportable, however, j and this may cause an epidemic of much larger proportions than if! quarintine could be enforced. Dr. Bulla advises that parents: keen children at home, if they have i eye infections. Trying to study tin- i j der such conditions may cause se- 1 1 rious injury to the child, not to speak of the danger of spreading i the disease. Live And Let Live • j j Buyer and seller must realize the | mutuality of interest. Both are try ing to make a profit, but each must realize the economic truth that the only way this can be accomplished : is for one to allow the other to | do likewise. Hence ail codes should ! stress the fact that it is unsound ito ell below full cost, plus a fair profit.—C. I). Garretson, in the Ro rarian Magazine. I Guv C. Massey With a large crowd of sorrowing I relatives and friends in attendance, | funeral rites for Guy ( . Massey, highly esteemed deputy sheriff of Zebulon, were held from hi- home Monday afternoon by Rev. E. ii. Davis, of Louisburg, an ( ] Rev. Mr. ; Herring, of Zebulon. Burial was in the town cemetery. Wake county Superior Court was | adjourned for the funeral, and j practically every county official at • tended. Mr. Massey died of bullet wounds inflicted by a Negro he attempted ! I to arrest on a Zebulon street Sat- j urdav. Death came early Sunday I j morning. The deputy was shot ■ J when he attempted to read a war rant to Elvis Richardson, wanted, on an old charge, and the Negro in turn was killed by Guy C. Mas sey, Jr., 24, who is a township con-1 j stable. The spn will be asked to succeed i this father, according to Sheriff N. F. Turner. Deputy Sheriff Massey was 45 years old and was the son of the late D. I). and Dora Hood Massey, his mother surviving him. He also is survived by his widow, who was Miss Pearl Jones, and the follow ing sons and daughters: Guy C. Jr., Robert !)., M«dvin, "Lucy, Frank and Zyba Massey.

Woman’s Club Announcement \ r iTo AH Members of the W. man’s I Club: I Las: week I asked you to attend I the meeting of the Club on .Tues | day. September 19. This is a re j minder, in case it may have slip . ped your mind. You do not need to be retold of the importance of j this meeting—the first for the club 'wear of 1933-34. Department chair | men are asked to bring in their j plans for adoption that they may i begin work at once. Faithfully j yours, Mrs. Theo. B. Davis, V.-Pres. MiilolnsFrom N. C. For Revenue I North ( arolina has paid into the federal treasury for taxes during the year ending June 30 more than 1 two hundred million dollars. By far the greater part of this came fr on the state's tobacco industries.! The sum was more than a million i I dollars iargi r than the amount paid in 1932, and puts North Carolina second only to New York in collec ; tions for federal taxes. Repeal The Law Against Kidnaping This kidnaping business is get- '■ | ling serious. Something must be done about it. I have a suggestion i to make, namely: repeal the law and license the kidnapers. There' ; are certain good reasons for it. 1. It is clear that the law cannot i be enforced. This became apparent j I when the Lindbergh case appeared j |on the scene. The violations have j been more frequent with every" month. The law prohibiting kid i naping “does not prohibit”; excuse I my use of language. Os course I j should have said it does not pre \ vent. ! 2. To license kidnaping would I take the whole business out of the hands of the underworld and place i it in the hands of a crowd of law abiding citizens. They would be the ! same men; but now they would be' partners of the state. | 3. To grant license would or ' | course result in ail of the riffraff from the slums getting out of the business and respectable men would take it up. 4. Os course certain restrictions must be thrown around the busi ness; no minors must engage in kidnaping; no kidnaping shall be carried on on Sunday; and no kid aper must carry on his business near a college. 5. I astly and most important of all is, it would be a source of reve nue to the state. Just think of how much ransom money now goes into the h inds of the underworld. The State could become a partner and share in the profits. I c< rnmend to the men who advo cate the return of the legalized sale of intoxicating liquors, the addition of this plank to their platform.

Most of the «.uher.- of last year are back. 1 beiv are ,-n!y three new ones: Mr. •las. Gerow, Misses Daphne Cara way and Doris Horton. Following the announcements, Mr. Moser gave some interesting facts about Wake county schools, especially concerning Wakelon. He mentioned the new rule that trucks were not allowed to carry any child that lives within two miles of the school, at d explained just why we had such a law. He stated further that Wakelon was the largest school in Wake county, and yet last year less than half as much was spent in Wakelon for some things as in other schools. Both Wakelon and the colored school saved enough coal la*t year to last through next winter unless it is an unusually cold winter. In his final words Mr. Moser emphasized the importance of the soul of a child a:i f | the reaction of it* environment to it, especially the home, the church and the school. He said there were certain great fundamentals that did not change, that only methods changed. The soul is the samt -sterday, tot'ay -ami forever. Chevrolet Shows Freight Increase The Chevrolet Motor Company in the first six months of this year moved by railway freight 65,596 full carloads of incoming materials and outgoing finished parts and automobiles. Thi • l n n*. a:: increase ->f 38 per cent over the full carload move ment in the same period last year, according to R. Scharff, Chevro let Traffic Director, and does not include 72.000,000 pounds ot rail way freight carried in less-than carload lots, an additional 2.100,000 pounds moved by railway express and 24,000.000 pounds by freight forwarders. Million- of dollars have already beon i aid to the railroads this year by Chevrolet for the traffic haul age essential in the movement of ! arts and raw materials to the com pany’s twenty domestic plants, and the outbound carriage of parts and finished automobiles to dealers and zone warehouses, Mr. Scharff point ed out. The long sustained buying mar ket for automobiles this year is re flected it the Chevrolet freight movement in June, the last month for which figure*'are available. In this month alone the company han dled 16,409 full carloads of freight, or more than thre#times as much as in June. 1932. Mr. Scharff stated that 65.3 per Icent of all freight handled by Chev* rolet in June was moved by rail. The remainder was divided between moto" trucks, drive-awavs and wa ter transportation.
