THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXVI. Number 5. ' i I I \ REPORTER The Edwin Gill appointment as Collector of Internal Revenue for North Carolina predicted by CAPITAL REPORTER three weeks ago brought a lot of com ment from the experts. Some tried to make it look as though President Truman was “agin” the Scott administration and National Committeeman Jonothan Daniels. Some said Governor Scott didn’t know anything about it. Fact is, the Governor knew about it and did not try to stop it, despite the fact that he invited Gill, a Char lie Johnson-for-governor-man, to quit his job as State revenue com missioner. The job for Gill was engineered by some Washington smoothies, this corner hears, and they weren’t Senators. • The appointment of Charlie Johnson, ex-state treasurer and opponent of Scott in the guberna torial race, as customs collector at Wilmington caused a lot of raised eyebrows. He was named by Sen ator Hoey, never a bosom buddy of the Governor’s, and objection by Scott could have caused a fur ther rift in the Democratic party in the State or at least added fuel to the flames. Some folks were surprised that Johnson would accept the job, which reportedly pays $6,400 per year to start. Reports from Char lotte indicate: 1. That Johnson was not too hap py in his job there, despite a sal ary estimated at anywhere from SIO,OOO to $15,000 per year. 2. That Johnson’s boss and the former State treasurer were not exactly pals. 3. That other Charlotte bank- Union Chapel to Have Box Party September 27 Union Chapel invites each and everyone to attend the Annual Box Party, to be held this year on Wednesday night, September 27, at 7:30.

The new job will give Johnson plenty of leisure time and he is expected to live on his farm, some 12 miles from Wilmington. The new job should hamper him polit ically, since technically his hands will be supposedly tied by the Hatch Act. That’s the law prohib iting federal employees from mess ing around in politics, it says. • Over at High Point there’s a gasoline price war going on. Some folks started a self-service station, where you fill up your own tank, and were able to lower prices. The result, believe it or not, has been that every major gas company slashed prices some four cents a gallon in High Point. For example, the same gas that (Continued on Page 4) 738 Students Enrolled At Wakelon School Wakelon School has an enroll ment of 738 students as the second week of classes got under, Prin cipal W.

Much of this work is done with a stalk cutter and disc harrow or plow. The important thing, it seems, is to disturb the plant so as to stop growth. This will assist in controlling both in sects and diseases of tobacco. On the farm of Millard Ferrell of Morrisville, we found the stalks had been cut, the roots of the plants turned out of the ground and exposed to the sun. The sun with its drying and killing power should reduce considerably knot root infection caused by nematodes as well as other diseases of the plant. This furrow on the con tour will act as a miniature ter race which will reduce runoff of water, thus conserving soil. Mr. Ferrell will sow this field in small grain in October. 10:00 and the morning worship service will follow at 11:00, when visitors will be welcomed, the roll of all church members will be called, and special music render ed. The members of the Wakefield Church are in the midst of a pro gram to raise money for a new church building, and a special col lection will be taken during the day to help with this project. After the worship service, din ner will be held on the church grounds, with plenty of delicious food for everyone.
