Launch Movement
For Winter Greens
Bountiful supplies of winter vege
tables growing in the garden of ev
ery North Carolina farm family is
the objective of a new campaign
launched by the State Agricultural
Workers Council, according to John
W. Goodman, assistant director of
the N. C. State College Extension
Service.
Blessed with a climate that makes
it possible to grow vegetables the
year around in most sections, North
Carolina could easily grow plenty
of greens to keep its people supplied
with these diet essentials during the
fall and winter.
H. R. Niswonger, extension horti
culturist, has prepared for distribu
tion to every farm family informa
tion which lists vegetables suitable
for winter gardens, best varieties,
planting dates, amounts of seed
needed, maturity dates and seed
cost.
In his guide, the horticulturist
suggests rape and kale for all sec
tions of the State; mustard and ten
dergreens for the Eastern and Pied
mont sections; collard plants, spin
ach, and onion sets for the Eastern
and Lower Piedmont areas; and
beets and carrots for the Tidewater
and warmer parts of the Coastal
Plain,
Goodman explained that the win
ter vegetable campaign is being con
ducted in response to a request from
M. L. Wilson, director of extension
for the U. S. Department of Agri
culture.
The tremendous campaign in this
State will be conducted by workers
of the following agricultural and
welfare agencies: Farm Security Ad
ministration, AAA, Soil Conserva
tion Service, WPA, Bureau of Agri
cultural Economics, State Vocation
al Education Department, and the
Extension Service.

A CAROLINA CONGRESSMAN,'
THOMAS CLINGMAN, FOUGHT
ONE OF THE "FOURTEEN FAM
OUS DUELS"...
Thomas Clingman of North Caro
lina vs. William Yancey of Alabama
is the subject of 6ne of the fourteen
"Famous American Duels" discussed
in Don C. Seitz's book published in
New York in 1929. Prior to the Civil
War dueling was the accepted means
of settling a dispute when a question
of honor arose.
Yancey, one of the most noted
southern secessionists, in a value
way insulted Clingman. Both were
congressmen. The alleged statement
that "he wished to have nothing to
say with one possessed of the head
and heart of the gentleman from
North Carolina" was all that was
needed to start trouble.
When a man was insulted, usual
ly he forwarded a note stating his
grievance. If no satisfactory explan
ation or apology could be obtained,
a challenge followed. Each would
choose a friend to be his second, who
would attend to all communications
and arrangements.
The words sent to Yancey are
typical of those used when one gen
tleman challenged another. Cling
man's note reads: "Having failed in
all my efforts for an amiable adjust
ment of the difficulty between us,
nothing remains for me but to de
mand of you the satisfaction usual
among gentlemen."
For seconds, Yancey ctiosc John
M. Huger; and Charles Lee Jones, of
Baltimore was Clingman's choice.
The appointed time was three p m..
January 13, 1845; and the place was
a spot between the District of Col
umbia line and Beltsville, Md.
The police were notified and raid
ed the hotel where Huger. Yancey
and their friends stopped. The prin
cipal and his second escaped by slip
ping out the back door. Two of the
friends were arrested and bound ov
When the "challenger" and the
"challenged" reached the dueling
ground, the duel was rushed in or
der to avoid interrupted by the po
lice. The weapons were small-bore
pistols of the usual dueling length,
and the distance was ten paces or
thirty feet.
The men were hurriedly placed,
and the word was given in a clear,
I loud and distinct tone: "Fire, one,
two, three, halt." Both fired too
' quickly and missed.
' The police arrived and assisted in
settling the dispute without further
use of ammunition
This was the end of the only duel
that grew out of the proposition of
extending slavery to Texas under
the annexation treaty, and there was
no bloodshed.
! y. C. Car Owner* Pay 7H
Cents Tax Per Gallon Gas
The combined federal and state
tax rates amount to 7 1-2 cents a
gallon. Gasoline taxes alone cost the
typical North Carolina motor ve
hicle owner $52.50 a year (almost
two weeks' income) and they are
by far the largest item in the motor
ist's yearly motor tax bill of more
than $70.
