McAdoo s Speed
Still Discussed
Question As To Whethe
l Toledo Speech ,Was
Boost for Donahey o/
Himself.
r _
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 7.—In
Ohio, where everybody is a poli
tician, the arraignment of wet nul
lificationists by William Gibbs Mt
Adoo in his address before the
State Bar Association at Toledo,
continues to be a general theme of
discussion. As a rule, Ohio Dem
ocrats agree with the sentiment
xpressed by McAdoo. Ohio Dem
rrats are not for A1 Smith, ex
•*pt those known to be out and
ut wet. They know Smith cannot
>c elected, if nominated, and they
,!so know a majority of Ohio cit
i'.cns, Democrats as well as Repub
wans, are for prohibition and its
nforcement.
The reason the McAdoo speech
receiving special attention in
*l.io is because Governor Donahey
- looked upon in some quarters as
i possible candidate for the pres
dcntial or vice-presidential nomi
7 it ion. Donahey is popular in the
l* as is evidenced by his third
ecutive election to the Cover
hip. Donahey is dry. He is so
that in 1924 he did not hesi
to say to his friends that if
mith were nominated, he would
vote for him.
as McArfoo’s Toledo speech
to boost the candidacy of
nhey. or is McAdoo to be a can
te again, or is there a move
t to make the ticket McAdoo
Donahey? Certainly it means
as far as McAdoo and Don
are concerned, no wet Dem
tic candidate can expect to get
upport of Ohio Democrats,
applies to Ritchie of Mary
and Reed of Missouri, as well
• Smith of New York,
man traveling over Ohio, un
he is prejudiced, must be con
ed of the fact that the Buck
state is loyal to prohibition,
■vid will stand firm for the Eigh
teenth Amendment and its enforce
ment, and no party leader in or
out of the state can swing it from
its dry moorings.

Fire Destroys
Residence Here
Home of Mr. and Mrs. T,
S. Ragsdale in Brooklyn
Burns To Ground Early
Friday Morning
a destructive lire occurred here
•. arly Friday morning when the
residence of Mr. and Mrs. T. S
Rag-dale in Brooklyn was burned
to the ground. The fire was dis
covered about three o’clock and
the alarm turned in, but the roof
had fallen in when the fire com
pany reached the scene. The fire
apparently originated in the roof,
probably from defective wiring.
Mr. and Mrs. Ragsdale were not
at home at the time having gone
to Wilson a few days before.
Nothing was saved from the
building except a refrigerator
which was on the back porch and
the front porch furniture. Quite
a number of handsome wedding
presents were burned, but fortu
nately, their silverware had been
deposited in the bank during their
absence from the city.
The tire burned rapidly, but ow
ing to the stillness of the night,
the flames were confined to the
one building.
The loss has been estimated at
§10,000, but it is partially covered
with insurance.
I’sed To Organize.
For years the farmers have been
told what they need in organiza
tion on a large scale to bring about
cooperative marketing of their
products. Secretary Jardine again
urges such organization in his an
nual report.
It is true this remedy would
cure many of the1 ills now besetting
the* farmer. But it is exceedingly
difficult to obtain.
By the very nature of their oc
cupation, the farmers are hamper
ed in efforts at organizing. They
do not form a compact group, as
do the workers in a particular
branch of industry.
Then, many farmers are special
ists. They raise corn, or wheat, or
cotton, or fruit, or some other
crop, often not. merely because they
choose but because other crops do
not thrive in their locality. So they
need organizations of wheat grow
ers, corn growers, fruit growers,
ami the like, since the different
farm products present, different
problems.
But the farmers are organizing
in spite of the difficulties. Coop
erative associations reporting to
the department of agriculture at
the end of 1025 had a total mem
bership (if 2,700,000—more than
three times as many as in 1015.
Some of these memberships were
duplicated. But almost a third of
the farmers are now engaged in
!cooperative marketing.
If these organizations continue
i the present rate of increase in
members, they may soon stabilize
agriculture. Then the farmers won’t
need aid. Hillsboro Record.

State Co-op Field
Director Is Here
John A. Smith, Newly Ap
pointed Cotton Field
Agent For Johnston
County Holds First
Meeting
The first meeting held by Mr.
John A. Smith, who was recently
appointed field agent for Johnston
county of the North Carolina Cot
ton Cooperative Association, was
held in the commissioners room of
the courtouse Saturday morning at
eleven o’clock, with the State
Field Director, Mr. Mann, as prin
cipal speaker. Mr. Mann has just
succeeded Mr. H. H. B. Mask as
state field director, and this was
also his first meeting in Johnston
county.
Mr. Mann explained the chief ;
points of the new contract, making
comparison with the old contract*
and showing improvements that
have been made. The new contract
has been worked out by the bus- I
iness talent in the state, and of- ;
fers a much more elastic proposi- I
tion that will have a g-reater ap- j
peal to the average farmer. Under
the iron-clad rules of the old con
tract, the members of the associa
tion had nothing to say about when
to sell their cotton, and there was
no way for a dissatisfied member
to get our of the association. The
new contract is more democratic.
A farmer may join with the priv
ilege of putting his cotton in the
optional pool or in the seasonal
pool. If his cotton is placed in the
■ easonaA pool, he may watch th$
market and when he thinks the
price is about at the peak he may
write or wire the association.uU>
sell his cotton and within forty
eight hours he will be sent a check
for at least ninety per cent of
what the cotton sold for, the other
ten per cent remaining in the as
sociation until the final settlement,
if he has a note to pay on a cer
tain date, he may use this privi
lege in order to meet his obligation,
always notifying the association
one day in advance. Or, if a mem
ber thinks a certain month in the
year is the best time to sell cot
ton he may settle with the asso
ciation for the average pool price
during that month. If he does not
care to put all of his cotton in
the seasonal pool or the optional
pool he may divide it and put part
in one and part in the other.
Another desirable feature about
the new contract is the fact that
a man may withdraw from the as
sociation if he becomes dissatisfied.
The new contract is for ten years
instead of five, the term being
made longer in order to cut down
expenses in re-signing campaigns;
but any member who desires may
cancel his contract by notifying
headquarters between January }
and March 1, and upon a vote by
the directors he may be received
back into the association if he de
sires to become a member again.
Mr. Mann explained the new con
tract carefully and pointed out de
cided advantages it has over the
first one.
Alter discussing: the new con
tract and answering: questions a-k
ed by several present, the speaker
told of the plan of organization for
the coining campaign. Fifty group
leaders are to be selected, each
working with ten men. All the work
done v ill be voluntarily rendered, j
the association appropriating no |
extra funds for the campaign. No !
hired helpers will be sent out. no I
strangers, who do not understand j
the contract themselves, will ap-!
proach a farmer for membership, |
but the members are asked to talk
to their neighbors and explain the j
|working and the purpose of the
association to them, according to,
the plan outlined by Mr. Mann. No'
thigh pressure methods are to be
I used because the association knows
(that a dissatisfied member is the
jwora thing it can have, Mr. Mann
said.
I ^ speaker said that enough
contracts have already been sign
led to warrant the continuance of
I the association, and stated that
the cotton received into the asso
ciation last year had exceeded all
expectations. The foundation for
,cooperative marketing has been
ilaid, he said, the association has

who was an eye-witness to the*
scene, a big truck loaded with fur
niture caught fire on thy highway
between Smithfield and Princeton
Saturday afternoon about four
o’clock, and the furniture was com
pletely destroyed. The furniture
belonged to Mrs. E. B. Pugh, of
Raleigh, and the load of furni

Wilson’s Mills
Defeats Micro
Wilson’s Mills Now In
Line For County Cham
pionship in High School
Basketball
WILSON’S MILLS, Feb. 7.—One
of the most exciting basketball
games of the season took place at
Pine Level, Friday February 4,
when Micro and Wilson’s Mills
played off their tie game to de
cide who should have first place in
their groups.
The game was very exciting from
the start. The team? were well
matched. While Wilson’s Mills kept
in the load, Micro showed wonder
ful speed in the last quarter, dur
ing which time most of their goals
were made. The score was 19 to 13
in favor of Wilson’s Mills.
This victory means that Wil
son’s Mills is in line for the county
championship in hi*h school bas
ketball. Friday, February 11, the
Wilson’s Mills team will play the
winner in Group 1, which will be
either the Princeton or the Four
Oaks team.
Wilson’s Mills tied for the hon
ors with Corinth-Holders. This tie
was played off at Selma last Tues
day with a score of 18-11 in favor
of Wilsons Mills.
The victory over Micro, the win
ners in Group 2. places Wilson’s
Mills in line to play the winners
in Group 1.
The outstanding players on the
Wilson’s Mills team for the sea
son are hard to select since the
whole team has done splendid
work. The following is the record
of the points made by the Wil
son’s Mills forwards during the
season: Leamon Pounds, 61 points;
Raeford Barbour, 55 points; Thel
bert Barbour (center), 66 points.
Thel Baker, Norman Godwin,
Harvie Carr and Alfred Byrd have
made splendid records for them
selves as guards.

Fatal Shooting
Occurs At Kenly
Negro Woman Dies In
Johnston County Hos
pital AiVer Receiving
Shot Intended For Her
Husband
KENLY, Feb. 7.—A shooting af
fair in Kenly Sunday afternoon
resulted in the death of a colored
woman, Ella May Blue, and in the
imprisonment of two negro men,
Malachi Blue and James Rogers.
The shooting took place between
five and six o’clock Sunday aft
ernoon at the home of James Rog
ers. Malachi Blue and his wife,
Ella May Blue, had rooms at the
home of Rogers, who was an un
cle of the woman who was killed.
According to report, Rogers and
j Blue have not in the past got on
I well together, and Sunday after
noon, when Blue drove up to Rog
jers’ house in an automobile, ar.
altercation started which resulted
in the tragic occurrence. One
word brought on another, until
Rogers produced a gun and fired
at Blue. Blue’s wife intervened
and received the shot intended for
her husband. The shot did not
cause instant death, and Blue rush
ed his wife to the Johnston County
Hospital at Smithfield, but she
died about ten o’clock.
Rogers was arrested at his home

M. E. Philatheas Entertained.
: Friday evening, the Methodist
Phiiathea class and a few others
were delightfully entertained by
Mrs. Clifton Beasley, Mrs. Jesse
Coats, Mrs. J. A. Campbell and
Miss Corinna Sanders at the home
of Mrs. Beasley, the occasion being
the regular monthly social and bus
iness meeting of the class.
The home was particularly at
tractive with its Valentine decora
tions of red hearts and cupids, and .
the entire prog-ram of the evening
was in keeping with the Valentine
sentiment. As soon as the guests
arrived, a unique contest was en- 1
gaged in. Red and white hearts
were pinned on the guests, and
partners were paired off by the ■
names written thereon. These 1
names were the names of lovers, :
famous either in history or litera
ture, and the idea was to write a
characteristic proposal and accept- ,
ance. Another contest consisted in
seeing who could form the most
words from the word: matrimony.
A sort of fortune-telling game
proved interesting, each guest be- ,
ing blindfolded and told to touch
cretain articles placed on a table.
A pile of rice meant a bride soon;
a ring meant marriag-e; a thimble
meant spinsterhood; a piece of
money meant riches.
After the stunts and contests,
Mrs. Jesse Coats gave a reading,
“That Old Sweetheart of Mine,” to
musical accompaniment played by
Miss Agnes Johnson. Miss Frances
White in her usual charming man
ner sang several lovely solos, and
;then the president of the class,
Mrs. Rosser Lane, took charge of
the program and held a brief busi
ness sesssion of the class. Miss
Corinna Sanders conducted an ap
propriate devotional service.
| A most pleasing closing fea
jlure of the delightful evening was
the serving of the refreshments
which consisted of congealed sal
ad, heart-shaped sandwiches, waf
ers, pickles, and hot coffee. An
attractive Valentine was on each
plate.
About thirty guests were pres
ent to enjoy the gracious hospitali
ty of Mesdames Beasley, Coates
and Campbell and Miss Sanders.

Poultry Meeting
Is Well Attended
Association Takes Steps
Toward Shipping Sur
plus Eggs; Next Meet
ing With Mr. yv. T.
Woodard mmi
The third meeting of the John
ston County Poultry Association
held Friday at the home of .'Jr.
and Mrs. T. W. Ives near town,
was well attended and was charac
terized by enthusiasm. Thirty or
more men and women interested in
poultry raising, representing eight
townships, were present to discuss
poultry problems.
The meeting was called to order
by the president, Mr. S. P. Honey
cutt, of Benson, after all had en
joyed a delicious picnic dinner
served in the open, and aftei an
inspection had been made of the
well arranged poultry yard of Mr.
and Mrs. Ives. Mrs. Alice Earom.
the secretary, read the minutes of
previous meetings, after which she
called on the various members
present to g-:ve the egg-laying re
port which had been suggested at
the last meeting. This was the
first time such a report had been
called for and only two or three
had kept accurate records. Appr.,v
imate reports, however, were given
and several declared their inten
tion of keeping records during
February, a report of which will
be made at the March meeting.
It was interesting to note that
quite a number have pure breeds. *
Perhaps the outstanding action
taken by the association at this,
meeting was the decision to ship
surplus eggs after the local pri%^
falls too low to make selling on
the local market profitable. Tin?
plan is for the members to bring
their surplus eggs to the farmers
room in the courthouse each Satur
day where they will be received
by a member of the association,
and after being properly gra ted,
shipped to some foreign market,
Mrs. D. J. Wellons was selected
by the .association to receive and
grade these eggs. The county ag
ent, Miss Minnie Lee Garrison, was
asked to communicate with Mr V.
\. Lewis, state marketing spec
ialist, as to the best plan of mar
keting them.
The plan of meeting with some \
member of the association will be 1
continued for the present, and the
association accepted an invitation
tendered by Mr. W. T. Woodard. • <
who lives near Pine Level, to meet
at his home on Wednesday, March
2. The time was changed front f.
Friday to Wednesday for this m
ing in order to be at Mr. W o,!- :

ens is scheduled to be taken from
his incubator. Mr. W'oodard nns
quite a large hatchery, and
doubt the next meeting of th< ha- %

terest on account of the oppor uu
ity to see one in operation.
