PLANS HADE FOR
CURING FOR LITTLE
HUE WALKER
Mr. N. Lunsford Secures Her
Admittance To The Or
thopedic Hospital
N. ROXBORO BAPTIST
. S. S. PLEDGES $77.00
As stated In our last Issue the
fund for little Isabelle Walker was.
sufficient to keep her at Watts hos
pital for more than a month, but ,
after we closed our forms It was
learned that Mr. N. Lunsford had
secured her admittance to the Or- i
thopedic Hospital at Gastonia. This
.is a State institute, and patients
? there are cared for by the State; I
" It is decidedly one of the finest in- j
stitutionS of its kind, having phy
sicians and surgeons second to
none in this country, and little
Isabelle is to be congratulated up
on being admitted; she will receive
every attention looking to her re
covery, and when she is able will
attend school and receive just as
good educational advantages as if
she were at home attending one of
our best country schools; and fur
ther, She will remain at this insti
tution until she is cured, or pro- ,
nounced incurable. If she has not
already entered this institution she
will do so in a very few days.
Having taken such an active in
terest in her case we were ap
proached ahd asked what we
thought about sending IsaEjelle to
Gastonia in preference to keeping
her at Watts hospital for thirty or !
sixty days. We inquired if it would
be possible to have her remain at j
the hospital for a month or two
and then send her to Gastonia? We
were informed that the manager at
the Orthopedic hospital said he
could not guarantee how long she
might be forced to remain at home, j
or the hospital, if she did not enter
while there was room, as they could
not hold a vacant room, with so
many applications. If she did not
go now it might be four months,
six months, or even longer, they
could not tell. After hearing this
we unhesitatingly said, "Take her
to Gastonia at once."
If in making this decision we er
* red, it was from the head and not
from the ? heart, for we are very
much interested in this case, and
hope we acted ' for the E>est.- Any
way, if there is any criticism for
the change we want to take our
part, for we so advised. The money
collected by The Courier will go to
pay the charges for her at Watts
hospital between July I and the time
she was: released there, and also to
pay the expense of getting her to
Gastonia; if there is anything re- j
maining we will send it to the Or
thopedic to be used in buying cloth
ing, or other necessities for little
lsat>elle. If this is not satisfactory
those who contributed and they
rit their contribution refunded,
will gladly refund same if the
donors will call at our office.
we want to especially call atten- :
tion to the act of the Sunday School
at North Roxboro Baptist church.
This Sunday School is located at
Jalong, and as every one knows,
the mill villages have been living]
hard for many months, but when
the superintendent, Mr. W. W. Mor
rell, brought this case before the .
school they responded with a con
tribution of $77.00. We doubt if
the matter had been taken up with
any Sunday School in Roxboro
that half so good an account would
have been made. Our hats are off
to these good people, and we are
sure that the promise "inasmuch as
you have done it unto the least of
these, etc.," will apply in this case,
and they will receive a reward in
keeping with their generous offer
ing for this helpless and needly lit
tle girl. The offering so generous
ly given was declined by us. as
having arranged for her to be
cared for elsewhere It. was not
needed.

The Oklahoman, who landed here

birsk, Siberia, had intended to take
off for Khabarosk at 11 o'clock last
night (1 p. m. Tuesday, Eastern
Standard Time). The heavy weather
prevented him from doing so.
The time of his departure was in
definite.
When he descended at this city !
in south central Siberia, near the
southern end of Lake Baikal, the
Oklahoma flier was 16 hours and 34
minutes ahead of the record set
by Harold Gatty and himself in
1931.

Tar Heel Farmers
vTo Get $2,770,766
Raleigh, July 16. ? Some 48,630
North Carolina cotton growers who
up to today were reported as hav
ing contracted to retire 219,363
acres of this year's cotton crop un
der the federal acreage reduction
program are slated to receive $2,
770,766 in cash within the next few
weeks as well as options on 102,876
bales of government cotton, esti
mated to be worth $2,500,000. i *
Today's reports, though they left
the late 143.637 acres below its
quota of 363,000, put it ahead of
its quota in estimated bales to be
taken out of production.
The state was assigned 121,000
bales to be retired and Dean t O.
Schaub of North Carolina State
college, reduction director for the
state, figured the acreage contracted
would produce 122,843 bales this
fall.
Dean Schaub again warned cotton
farmers they must not destroy a
"single stalk" of the cotton on the
contracted acreage until officially
notified individually that their
contracts have been accepted and
it is time to destroy the crop.

Chosen As Officers
LARGE ATTENDANCE
AND GOOD BEHAVIOR
The Country Line Primitive Bap
tist Association met last Friday
with the Plat River church, about
four miles south of Roxboro. While
the attendance, some Say, was
not quite so large as usual, the
crowd was well up into the thous
ands, tents by the hundreds were
erected in the large grove standing
close by the church. We do not
know whether it is because of the
conditions of the times, or that
people are just naturally behaving
better; any way the large crowd
was marked by their beautiful be
havior, there being no trouble of
any kind, even on Sunday, when it
looked as if the whole County, and
then some, were on hand.
Mr. F. D. Long was re-elected
moderator, with Mr. J. H. Gooch,
of Stem, as clerk, and Mr. A. P.
Clayton, assistant clerk. The next
meeting will be held with RosS's

the meeting of the state Young
Democrats atj Wrightsvilie Beach
the previous day, J. E. Brinn of

young Democrats with a suggestion
for a flag for the organization.
He suggested a petticoat for the
flag, and recommended that two
whisky bottles be embroidered on

Lay Plans for Tobacco
Price-Raising Campaign
Would Cut 1934 Acreage By 100,000 Acres In Process Sim
ilar To Cotton Plan; Figure 1932 Price 3 1-2 Cents
Under Fair Exchange Value; Contemplate
Processing Tax To Pay Growers
.
Plans are being shaped for the
relief of flue-cured tobacco growers]
through a government campaign
similar to the cotton acreage reduc- !
tion plan. Dr. Q. W. Porster, ag
ricultural economist at State Col
lege, Jujrt back from conferences
with the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration at Washington, said j
last night that he anticipated that
the campaign would be launched
this fall to cut tobacco acreage in j
North Carolina and other flue-cured
producing states, but that no of&cial
details were yet available.
"This plan ag developed will vary
somewhat from cotton In that it
provides for payment based on
quality and yield in the past period.
The pride of flue-cured -tobacco has
not .brought a fair exchange in re
cent years, and in 1932 was approx
imately three and one-half cents
per pound lesg than the fair ex- '
change value as defined in the Ag- '
ricultural Adjustment act," said
Dr. Porster. j
"In order to bring the price of to
bacco to a parity.'* he asserted, "it
will be necessary to formulate a
plan for the curtailment of the 1934
crop, and should a plan be adopted,
it will be necessary to take out of
production from 90,000 to 100,000
acres planted to flue-cured tobacco.
"To raise the necessary revenue to
take 95.000 to 100,000 acres out of
cultivation, a tax of between three
and four cents would have to be
levied on flue-cured tobacco domes
tically consumed which is approxi
mately 230,000,000 pounds annually,"
he said.
A three and one-half cent tax on
the domestically consumed portion
of flue-cured tobacco would yield
approximately $8,000,000 annually,
and payments per acre of tobacco
taken out of cultivation would vary
with each indivtduartarm. Dr. For -
ster asserted. -
Other states that would be affect
ed by such a campaign are South'
Carolina, Virginia, and Georgia. j
DEATH OF ONE OF
ROXBORO'S MOST
VALUABLE CITIZENS
Mr. S. P. Satterfield Died At
Watts Hospital Friday On
Friday Morning
WAS CALLED THE
"GRAND OLD MAN"
'
Mr. 8. P. Satterfield, age 80, died
at Watts hospital Friday morning
at 5:30. He had been a patient at
the hospital for about eight weeks,
and while his death came as a sur<
prise it wasn't altogether unexpect
ed by his family. For several days
they knew he was seriously ill.
Mr. Satterfield was born and
reared in the County, near Bushy
Fork. When a young man he was
elected Register of Deeds and mov
ed to Roxboro, where he made his
home since that time. After serv- ,
ing in this capacity he was connect
ed with the revenue department
and, 'with unusual good tact and
! judgment, gave universal satisfac
| tion. When the administration
j changed Mr. Satterfield left this :
work and engaged in the insurance
business here, and for 35 years has
conducted a most profitable busi
ness, building up a clientele worthy
i of the work of the best. He was, if
not the first, one of the first agents
| appointed by the Jcfferton Stan- !
! dard Life Insurance Company, '
whifch agency he held at the time
of his death. For a number of
years he was honored by trips to
Niagara Falls and Cuba, for having
become eligible to the Hundred
Thousand Dollar club.
Pew men in the County enjoyed
a larger friendship with the people
than did Mr. Satterfield; he was
of thaNg^>ial and Social disposition
which made friends rapidly, and he
had the knack of retaining such
frlnnrirhtpt* Hp was Indaad and. in
truth called the "Grand Old Man,"
and notwithstanding his age when
he left here for the hospital he
walked with a sprightliness which
many in the fifties would consider
marvelous. In his passing we feel
deeply our loss, for he was our
friend, and we shall miss his friend
ship. ?
In addition to his widow the de
ceased leaves: three sons, H. C. Sat
terfleld of Durham and M. W. Sat
terfleld and Preston Satterfield of
Roxboro, and one daughter. Miss
Maude Satterfleld, also of Roxboro.
Funeral services were held at the
home on South Main street Satur
day morning at 10 o'clock. Inter- i
ment followed in Burchwood ceme
tery. Rev. James P. Herbert, pas
tor of the Edgar Long Memorial
Methodist church, of which Mr.
Satterfleld was a member, was in
charge.

CONCORD CIRCLE
SERVED ROTARY
THURSDAY EVENING
Meeting At Home of Mr. Jno.
D. Winstead In County
Much Enjoyed
The members of Roxboro Rotary
club spent a most delightful even
ing at its last meeting which was
held at the beautiful country
home of Mr. John D. Winstead.
Lunch was served by members of
one of the circles of Concord Meth
odist church, and while we call it
a lunch It was, in reality, a real
dinner. Tables were set out on the
lawn, and chairs arranged among
the trees, giving the surroundings
a beautiful setting.
While there are many fine and
expensive homes in this good Coun
ty we doubt if there is a home in
the County, or in Roxboro, which
is more beautiful just at this time.
The dwelling sets well back from
the road, surrounded by magnifi
cent old oaks, and a lawn of about
two acres, covered with the green
est grass you ever saw, with flow
ers in abundance scattered here
and there, the whole making one
of the prettiest homes to be found
anywhere.
Plates were served to 72, there
being a number of visitors, besides
the wives and Sweethearts of the
members; Rev. J. P. Herbert asked
a blessing upon the food and the
people, and after dinner the chair
man of the urban committee, Mr.
J. W. Montague, Jr., announced
that there would be no speech
making, but the crowd would be ex
pected to make merry among the
Rotarians and visitors ? and they
did.

Upholstery Code Not Yet
Completed, But Collins &
Aikman Announce Ten
Percent Increase
PRODUCTION LIMITED
TO 80 - HOUR WEEK
Officials of the Collins & Aikman
Corporation, makers of Ca-Vel
velours, have been in almost con
tinuous consultation for the past
two days, with the view of ironing
out various details and difficulties
involved In the acceptance of the
provisions of the new national in
dustrial recovery act as relating to
their activities. Naturally the set
ting up of an entirely new blanket
code requires much study in it* ap
plication to the individual plant,
and it is these " details with which
the executives cf Collins & Aikman
are now primarily concerned. Com
plete requirements involved in the
Upholstery Manufacturers' Code may
not be promulgated for two or
three weeks yet by the Administra
tion.
Ten Percent Increase
The following official bulletin was
posted at the local unit of the mill
this morning:
NOTICE
"The Code for the Upholstery
Manufacturers may not be complet
ed for two or three weeks. The Ad
ministration ts now working on it.
"Until this Code is adopted and
authorized, we cannot definitely re
vise rates or working hours. Hie
Company wishes to announce a 10%
increase in all piece rates and hour
ly rates, effective Monday, July 17.
This increase will be a portion of
the increases authorized in the Code
when it is adopted.
"Learners are not included in this
increase "
Full Force Now Working
Since May 1st, Collins & Aik
man have added a total of 451 new
employees, in anticipation of three
shifts of eight machine hours each.
These new workers have without ex
ception been recruited from local
families residing within this imme
diate territory. A large percent of
them are natives of the County and
all of them are local residents. The
present wage increase brings to 20%
the increase within the past 60 days,
since a 5% raise was ordered on
May 15th and an additional 5%
went into effect June 12th. If the
provisions cf the national recov
ery act, limiting production to 80
hours per week, pre adopted in
full, the discharge of 25 to 30 per
cent of the present employees may
be necessitated, it was stated. This
is what it is desired, if possible, to
avoid.
Other Mills In Line
Somerset Mill and the Roxboro
and Longhurst Mills have already
adopted the new Code for textiles,
as laid down in the Act and all are
now working two shifts of 40 hours
each in agreement with the
provisions of the Act. This schedule
went into effect Monday morning.
Officials of all the local mills have
naturally been somewhat "at sea"
in outlining their immediate course
under the new blanket code, but it
is safe to say that all are making
every endeavor to cooperate in mak
ing this phase of the "New Deal"
effective and mutually beneficial.
