Recorder’s Court The Record went to press last week too early to secure the Re corder’s Court news, so the bad news had to wait. It seems ’most everybody was too busy to ’tend to anything but his own business, so court 'happenings were not so much for Judge Rhodes. Jack Yarboro was the first gent to face the court. He was accused of trespassing on some lady’s premises and it was found to be a fact. So a sentence of thirty days on the roads was passed on him, but this was suspended on his paying the costs of the court. Lillian Taylor heard about or saw another colored lady taking the time of her husband in social enjoyment. Lillie did not like it much, so she told the husband’s friend what to expect if she did not lay off. She had a gun to enforce her remarks if necessary. She saw the officer of the law, ran, threw the pistol away, was arrest ed, the pistol was secured, she Went to court. Result: The court passed a sentence of 90 days in the county jail. The sentence was suspended if she would march fif ty iron men into the court’s cof fers, and pay the cost of the court. The court also kept her gun as a souvenir. Ophelia Watson, Lillian’s op ponent in love and war, was given 30 days in jail, but allowed to re turn to her job as cook on condition she pay for the time of the court in her trial. Jack Edwards was proven guil ty of careless and reckless driving. And when one hears about what he did to Atlas Edwards, he must believe the charge was true. Atlas was carried to the hospital and re mained 19 days. Reports say that his jaw was broken, three teeth knocked out, nose broken, lip cut almost into mince meat and the roof of his mouth torn up. The judge believed the evidence, and on the prayer of the defend ant, agreed to wait till the April term of court to render his deci sion. J. B. McWhorter seems to have an urgent need requiring ready money, so he wrote a check. The check was not akin to anybody or anything at the bank so came back accompanied by the law. J. B. made good the check and paid for the privilege of signing his name the cost of the action. Malachi Horton and William Hartsfield Were charged with sim ple assault which we suppose meant they had an old-fashioned fist fight. They said they fought and the judge let them off by paying the costs. Another Bible named colored gentleman, Benjamin Perry, was also accused of fighting. He de nied the charge. Prosecuting at torney Finch could not make his case and Benjamin went out a free man. Wilbur High went to a basket ball game. He carried his one two-three or six-shooter. When things got lively, Wilbur flourish ed it round and about to the scare and consternation of the spectators. At the same time he made an as sault on Benjamin Perry. For his gesture with the pistol he works 90 days on the highways. For assaulting Ben. he got 30 ad ditional days with pick and shovel sweating under a hot June sun.

Cast A Ballot! The most talked-about subject among North Carolina farmers to day is the new farm act. And perhaps the most discussed section of the act is that part hav ing to do with marketing quotas on cotton and flue-cured tobacco. When congress wrote that pro vision into the bill, it also cleared away for farmers to accept or re ject a restricted production of these two crops. In 81 of the State’s 100 counties, growers will journey to communi ty polls March 12 to express their opinion of marketing quotas. If two-thirds of those voting want re striction on their 1938 tobacco and cotton crops, then quotas will go into effect on this year’s produc tion. In order to get a representative cross-section of the producers’ wishes, then it will be necessary that every grower of these crops cast his ballot. If you don’t vote and are opposed to the provisions, the county committee can place quotas on your production anyway if the necessary majority want control. On the other hand, if you want your crop restricted so that prices may be held up next year, then you should do your part by visiting the polls on March 12 and marking yes on the ballot. Anyone who produced tobacco or cotton in 1937, whether he be landlord, operator, tenant ,or sharecropper, will be eligible to vote. Vote as you please—but vote. When all is said and done, you are about the only person in the world who really believes all the nice things said about you. WANTED! 5 Bus. Potato Onions, Com, Peas. A. G. KEMP—ZEBULON, N. C.

President F. D. Roosevelt and his aides come high on the list with the “new deal,” the “for gotten man,” off the record,” the more abundant life,” and many others. However, former Presi dent Theodore Roosevelt added more phrases to the language than his kinsman has to date. To “Ted dy” are credited “square deal,” “mollycoddle,” “carry a big stick,” and “we stand at Armageddon, and battle for the Lord,” along with other phrases equally as popular at one time. Woodrow Wilson is best re membered by “too proud to fight,” “watchful waiting,” “make the world safe for democracy.” Hoover’s administration is re membered by “a chicken in every pot.”
