Cash Balance In State Treasury The State of North Carolina end ed the month of April with a cash balance of $57,302,405 01 in the general fund. The highway fund at the end of April showed a bal ance of $12.845,488 36. The State debt was $159,369,- 000 divided as follows: General bonds, $56,013,000; highway bonds, $88,421,000; World War veterans’ loan bonds, $2,500,000; Chowan River bridge fund, $325,000; Cape Fear River bridge fund bonds, sl,- 150,000; and special school build ing bonds, $10,960,00. Work Sheets Must Be In By June 12 The deadline for North Carolina farmers to sign work sheets for the 1937 soil conservation has been set for June 12. No payments can be offered this year to farmsrs who do not sign work sheets on or before that date, said E. Y. Floyd, of State College, head field officer for the program in this state. However, Floyd said, gtrowers who signed last year will not be re quired to sign again this year. But if they have bought land or made other changes in their farms, they should notify their county agents at once. The work sheet is not a contract Floyd explained, and a grower who signs one is not placed under any obligation to comply with the pro gram if he changes his mind after signing. But the work sheets are neces sary for the county committee to help the farmers plan their farm ing operations so as to take ad vantage of the payments offered and at the same time build up their soil. Y oung Dems To Winston-Salem The state convention of Young Democrat Clubs will be held in Winston-Salem on September 10 and 11, according to decision reach ed at a session of the executive committee here Saturday nfighttt Wilmington, Raleigh, Charlotte and other cities invited the conven tion, but the first ballot was over whelmingly for Cameltown. The Wake County club was host to the state committed and other visitors at a banquet and dance Saturday night, with Secretary of State Thad Eure making the main address just after the eats. Last Friday night the Young Dems of four or five counties gath ered at Holt’s Lake, near Smith field, for a barbecue and rally, with J. M. Broughton of Raleigh as the No. 1 talk man. Both occasions were marked by the presence of many whose quali fications as YOUNG Democrats were forfeited years ago, but all apparently had a good time. Bank Robbery Two unmasked men held up of ficials of the Waccamaw Bank at Clarkton last Friday afternoon and made way with about $3,000. It is thought that they may be two of the convicts who escaped from Cal edonia farm some weeks ago. One of the most substantial evi dences that the world is making pTo gress is the fact that the use of the combination of sulphur and molas ses as a spring tonic is becoming * more rare. To be able to enjoy one’s past life is to live twice. —Martial. THE ZEBULON RECORD, ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY THE TWENTY-EIGHTH OF MAY, 1937 Says Farm Loans Repaid Promptly Gould Reports Over Million Dollars Loaned to Wake Farmers ..Through Bank In Wake County, 299 fanners have loans totaling approximately $650,375.00 with The Federal Land Bank of Columbia, through the Car olina National Farm Loan Associa tion, and seven other associations domociled in the count, according to L. M. Gould, secretary-treasurer of these associations. In addition, there are 393 Land Bank Commis sioner loans outstanding in the county, amounting to approximate ly $568,550 00, making a total of $1.218,925.00 in Land Bank and Land Bank Commissioner loans outstanding. Mr. Gould, who has just returned from a meeting of national farm loan association secretaries-treas urers in Columbia, S. C-, said re ports at the meeting indicated that the majority of the land bank bor rowers are now’ in position to meet their interest payments with promptness and regularity. Ap r preximately 05 p er ctn t D f fed eral Land Bank and Land Bank Commissioner loans in the states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida are now in good standing, he said. Mr. Gould said that during the emergency farm financing of the depression years many of the du ties of the national farm associa tions had been taken over by the land bank but that during the past year the transfer of such work from the bank back to the national farm loan associations has been in progress. In the four states comprising the third land bank district, operating territory has been reallocated to eliminate over-lapping and compe tition between national farm loan associations, Mr. Gould said, and where too many associations have been found in the same territory, local directors have cooperated in affecting consolidations on in main taining a common office and em ploying the same secretary-treas*- urer. The operating area is based upon the principle that an associa tion shall serve a territory large enough to support management but small enough to permit that man agement to maintain intimate con -1 tact with its borrowers. This pro gram has made it possible for the associations to take over the duties | that belong to them. In pusuanee of that policy, a joint set-up was effected in this sec tion and the Carolina National ! Farm Loan Association and 12 oth -1 er national farm loan associations j domiciled in Wake Johnson, and Wayne counties are maintaining a , common office at 312 1-2 Fayette j ville Street, Raleigh, and Mr Gould is serving as secretary-treasurer of the associations. Farmers of Wake, Johnston and Wayne counties, who are in the market for long-term farm-mort gage loans, may get information from Mr. Gould regarding loans which may be secured from The Federal Land Bank of Columbia through the National Farm Loan Associations, chartered to make loans in their counties for a pe riod of from 15 to 30 years at a permanent interest rate of 4 per cent. Loans are made to assist in buying farms, construct or alter farm buildings, refinance farm debts or for general agricultural uses. Last year 1500 persons died of poisoning. Many of these got the wrong bottle out of the medicine cabinet. Bottles containing poisons should not be placed side by side in the fam ly medicine cabine* with medicine that is to be taken in wardly. Court Upholds Social Security All phases of the New Deal social security act were held to be consti tutional by the supreme court of the United States Monday. The job insurance section was, upheld by an other of the famous five-four de cisions, Chief Justice Hughes and Justices Brandeis, Roberts, Cordoza and Stone signing the majority opin ion and Justices Van De Vanter, Me Reynolds, Southerland and Butler dissenting On the old age feature the vote was seven to two, only Justices Mcßeynolds and Butler opposing. This was a distinct victory for the New Deal and in spite of all the criticism of the court’s antip athy to the Roosevelt program it brings the score of the present ad ministration to a very high per centage. There had been pretty general opinion that the old age section would stand up, but there was considerable doubt about the job insurance feature. Commercial Bank To Pay Dividend Checks are being signed for a ten per cent payment on deposits in the defunct Commercial Nation al Bank of Raleigh, amounting to nearly two hundred thousand dol lars. This will bring the total pay ments to 65 per cent. Robert J. Powell, who succeeded L. A. Lentz as receiver the first of this year, is rapidly winding up the affairs of the institution and there will not be much more for depositors. Riddick Resigns As College Dean Dr. Wallace C. Riddick has ten dered his resignation as Dean of the School of Engineering at State College, effective at this commence ment. He will remain as a profes sor- Dr. Riddick, now 72 years old, has been connected with State Col lege almost since it# founding, and served about ten years as its pres ident. Successful though his ad ministration was, he has always been a teacher rather than an ad ministrator. His successor as dean will be named at an early date by the board of trustees. Mount Pleasant Church Opened First services were held Sunday in the handsome new brick build ing at Mount Pleasant Presbyteri and church in Panther Branch town ship. Rev. Cecil Lawrence, the pas tor, preached the morning sermon, and Dr. Ben Lacy, president of Union Seminary, Richmond, who began his ministry there twenty years ago, preached in the after noon. A picnic dinner was served between the services,. The new church replaces a small fram structure which was burned last fall. No man ever became exteremely wicked at once.—Juvenal. When a gully gets so big you can’t do anything else wtih it, you can always plant a few trees to stop erosion. Records, of accident show that 56 percent of the accidental burns re ceived in the home are received in the kitchen and 39 per cent of the falls resulting in injury are reviv ed in the bed room. State Fair To Open October 12 At the suggestion of Dr. J. S Dorton, administrative executive of the state fair, the board of agricul ture last week decided to open the 1937 exposition on Tuesday, Octo ber 12, instead of on Monday. This change was made so exhibitors would not have to work all day Sun day arranging displays. Monday is usually a sort of dead day at the fair, and the board thought it bet ter to have five good days with exhibits fresher for the mid-week throngs of visitors. Warren Honored Warren, congressman from the first North Carolina dis trict, was on Monday sworn in as speaker protem, of the house of representatives. He will preside for about two weeks while Speaker Bankhead is at his home in Ala bama. This is quite an honor to Mr. Warren and to the state. 5139 NORTH CAROLINA— Wake County— In the Superior Court.
