THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXVI. Number 83. Cotton Sampling Practices Urged By County Agent The U. S. Department of Agri culture’s free cotton classing and market news services “have prov ed their worth in the past, and are all set to do it again this year,’’ Grady Miller, county agent for the State College Extension Service said this week in remind ing growers that the deadline for applying for the services is draw ing near. Mr. Miller pointed out that the free classing and market news services are available to all grow er-members of cotton improvement groups. Applications, however, must be filed through such groups, large or small. For North Carolina, applications must be filed not later than Aug ust 15. It is desirable, however, that applications be filed well in advance of the application dead line, to insure ample time for ar rangement for the services. Gin Takes Samples Once such applications are ap proved, grower-members may have their authorized ginner sam ples from each bale as it is gin ned, and sent to the nearest USDA clasing office. As each sample is officially classed its grade and staple length officially determined the information will be return ed to the grower on what is known as a “green card.” This becomes his official class record on the bale sampled. “Any cotton grower,” Miller de clared, “will concede that he’s in the best bargaining position when he knows the official grade and staple length of the cotton he’s selling. It’s clearly to his advant age to know, and USDA’s free classing and market news service provided under terms of the Smith-Doxey Act, can give a grower this advantage.” Social Security Law Compliance Is Urged By Raleigh Director Encouraging compliance with the new social security insurance regulations on domestic help was reported yesterday by John Ingle, manager of the social security of fice at Raleigh, N. C. “More than 1500 household em ployers in this area have regis tered as such with the Collector of Internal Revenue since the cov erage became effective January 1,” Ingle reports. “Employers who have notified the Collectors that they employ maids, laundresses, cooks, gardeners, etc., have receiv ed a form called ‘Employer’s Quar terly Tax Return for Household Employees.’ It is a very simple form. All the employer has to do is to list the name of her regular household worker, with sociq} se curity with number and specify the amount of cash wages paid for a three-month period and enclose a check or money order for 3 per cent of the total cash wages. The employer contributes half of this 3 per cent tax and collects the oth er half from the worker.” Ingle advised that the social se curity tax on cash wages of do mestic employees must be paid quarterly by employers to the col lector. “The test for determining whether a household employer has to pay a tax is easy,” he said. “If such an employer doesn’t have some one working in his or her (Continued on Page 4) MANUSCRIPT OF NEW TRANSLATION . m?:; * 1\ m fg* ~~ fl I p Fjjt J jk I i :■%£ -- W ■ ••■v, . - m M •; % BflL Dean Luther A. Weigle (right), chairman of the Standard Bible Committee of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States, presents the first completed manuscripts of the Old Testament to William McCulley, president of Thomas Nelson & Sons, publishers in New York City. The committee, composed of 31 of the country’s foremost Biblical scholars, has labored for 14 years to prepare a new Revised Standard Version Bible which preserves the enduring beauty of the King James version with words which are more clearly understood today. The New Testament was pub lished in 1946, and the complete Bible will be published in Sep tember of 1952. Justifiable Homicide Is Declared By Local Jury in Saturday Shooting The sharp report of a deputy sheriff’s automatic shotgun brought to an end the defiant stand of a Zebulon negro who warned officers that “the only place I’d go with you would be to the cemetery!” Early Saturday af ternoon, James Redd, charged with possessing non-taxpaid liquor and resisting arrest, was killed when he appeared at a window of his house with a shotgun. Redd ‘refused to relinquish his “white lightning” to Deputy Sher iff G. C. Massey and Officer Da vid H. Perry when they tried to arrest him on charges of possess ing non-taxpaid liquor. Swore at Officers “Hell no,” he is reported to have told the officers, “You ain’t car rying a damned bit of it away.” The two officers left the house on Barbee Street and requested help. Sheriff Robert J. Pleasants and a number of deputies answer ed the call, and with Chief of Po lice W. B. Hopkins of Zebulon, they armed themselves with shot guns, pistols, and tear gas guns and grenades, and surrounded the green-painted house. Mills Makes Appeal An appeal made by James Mills, a friend of Redd’s, failed to bring the fugitive into the open. “He wouldn’t say anything,” reported Mills to the officers. As the officers approached the house, Redd’s wife came out of the rear of the house and told Sheriff Pleasants that she would “get him to come out if you don’t hurt him.” MASONS The Zebulon Masonic Lodge will meet at Lake Mirl this afternoon for the annual Ladies’ Night barbe cue. The location of the event was originally stated as Lake Myra. Masons will note the change. Zebulon, N. C., Tuesday, July 3, 1951 Pleasants, holding the gas gun, told her: “We don’t want to hurt him ... Go in there and tell him to come out with his hands up.” As Pleasants was talking to Redd’s wife, Deputy Sheriff Wi ley Jones was about 50 to 60 feet from a window of the house. Suddenly he heard the warning: “Look out, Wiley!” shouted by another deputy. Jones looked and saw a Vene tian blind pulled back from the window by Redd, who was armed with a shotgun. Quickly Jones lift ed his shotgun and fired. The blind fell back into place and for a moment there was silence. Officers found Redd lying in an other room, a few feet away from the window, dead. “Justifiable Homicide” A coroner’s jury impaneled by W. P. Whitley of the City-County Bureau of Identification!! ruled “justifiable homicide.” Serving on the Coroner’s Jury were Oscar Corbett, Wesley Liles, Ayden Wall, Bryant Gay, David Whitley, and C. E. Perry. Deputy Jones, visible nervous after the shooting, said, “I could n’t let him kill me. That gun look ed big as a cannon.” He dropped his voice as he lamented “After 21 years in police work, and this had to happen.” (Continued on Page 4) Local Ball Games Listed by Director Games in the Zebulon Softball League this week include four nights of play.

Chamblee Tells Record Readers Facts of Hail Damage , Claims Paid Hail that struck in the vicinity of Zebulon on June 14th was pos sibly the worst in the past history. Many hundreds of tobacco farms were damaged from 100 per cent down. Almost every tooacco farmer was carrying hail insurance. As soon as the hail came the farmers began to call their Insurance Agents to report their loss. It looked as if their crops were a total loss. Funeral Services Held For S. Worth B.

COMPLETES YEAR : i|L Pictured is Ed Ellington, head of the agriculture department at Wakelon School and retiring pres ident of the Zebulon Rotary Club. Theo. Davis Sons, Publishers The average person does not read their policies, they have confidence in their Agents to take care of them, which he has been doing and giving service in a rea sonable time, but this time the Agents were helpless. On each policy is stated that hail losses should be reported in 96 hours after a loss and it also states that no adjustment will be made under five days after a hail storm. The Agents sent their claims to the Insurance Co., and then waited for the Adjusting Bu reau to send Adjusters. The Ad justing Bureau attends to the Ad justing, not the Insurance Agents. Any Adjuster adjusts losses for 30 companies or more. When the Adjuster came there was not but one Adjuster for every 100 losses. The average Adjuster can only adjust 7 or 8 losses a day. Then was when the agent had the most miserable time of his ex perience in the Insurance busi ness. Every one, it seems, wanted his tobacco adjusted at once. More Adjusters The Agents called the Adjusting Bureau for more adjusters and was told that there were 5000 losses that came before the one in Zebu lon and that they had to be ad justed before any more available adjusters could be sent, so the agents had to sweat it out. A very few had ever had a loss before and I did understand that the longer one crop wanted to be adjusted the higher his percent would be. In adjusting losses there must be at least 40 punctures, 3-4 of an inch to make 5 per cent. No loss is paid under 5 per cent. This does not mean 40 holes to each plant to make the 5 per cent, but space. One hole sometimes counts several punctures and the longer the ad juster stays away the larger these (Continued on Page 3) Ellington Completes Year as President At the regular meeting of the group last Friday night, Ed El lington, retiring president of the Zebulon Rotary Club, expressed his deep appreciation for the honor given him when the Rotarians elected him as president of the local group over a year ago and reviewed the activities of the club during the past year. The past year, Ed said, has been one of the most enjoyable he has ever known. “No members of this club,” he added, “has ever refus ed to help any time he has been asked.” Ed cited the drives and cam paigns sponsored and aided by the Zebulon Rotary Club as evidence of the pride the members take in club work. The motto of Rotary Interna tional, “Service above Self,” is clearly seen in the activities of Rotarians, he continued. Next week the new officers of the Zebulon Rotary Club will be installed by a committee headed by Ralph Talton.
