Bill To Postpone Tax Sales Was Drawn by Mr. Norman Introduced About Ten Days Ago, But Died at Hands of House Finance Committee; Later Introduced In Senate and Passed Both Houses In an interview with Hon. Zel> Vance Norman, representative of Washington County, here during the week-end, lie stated that about the only thing that the legislature has done in the past ten days that directly and immediately brings assistance to Wash inpton County, is the passage of a bill postponing the sale of land for 1930 taxes to not later than the first Mon day in November, 1931. Continuing, Mr. Norman said: “About ten days ago, l prepared and introduced a bill providing f >r this relief, and the bill was referred /to the committee on finance. The committee considered the bill and re ported it unfavorably, under the as sumption that the postponement of LEGION WOMEN SPONSOR SALE POPPIES MAY 23 ■. ■ - <b Flowers Are Made by Dis abled World War Veterans -® Tlie American Legion Auxiliary of Scuppernong Post, No. 182, of Wash ington and Tyrrell Counties, will spon sor the annual poppy day sale on Sat urday, May 23, when millions of Amer icans will wear this little flower in memory of the American soldiers who sacrificed their lives in the World War. While thinking of the men who lost their lives in the war, present concern is with the thousands who returned to this country, disable# and their health shattered. Many of them are taking treatment in government hos pitals today. These little flowers are made by disabled World War veter ans and the money received from the sale of the same will be used for help ing disabled soldiers, their wives, chil dren, and families. Therefore, the ladies of the Scup pernong Post are urging that every body be prepared to buy a poppy on this day, when they arc offered for sale.

William Francis Sitterson, 19 months-old son of Mr. and Mrs. L. N. Sitterson, of Creswell, died in a Rocky Mount hospital Tuesday, May 12, from drinking lye water. Funeral services were conducted at Zion Chapel church Wednesday aft ernoon at 3 o’clock with Rev. Boh Lewis, of Roper, officiating. Friends of Mr. and Mrs. Sitterson will sympa thize v'th them in their great bereave ment. the same might impair the credit of the county. While discussing this matter with Senator Peel, I gave him a copy of my hill which he introduced in the Senate and had the same passed. It then came over to the house and after considerable dehate, it passed its three readings. "1 am of the opinion,” said Mr. Norman, "that this will he of cons d erable benefit to a large number of people who can prevent the sale of their land by having a few months more in which to pay their taxes. It is possible that a sufficient amount of tobacco, tomatoes, and other crops will be sold in time to help the farm ers pay their taxes before sale." METHODISTS IN ZONE MEETING AT COLUMBIA Women’s Missionary Socie ties Meet Last Friday Well Attended A very enthusiastic zone meeting of Windsor, Williamston, Plymouth, Roper, and Columbia Methodist Epis copal church was held here Friday, May 8, with a large representation present. The morning session opened with the singing of a hymn, and the devo tional was conducted by Rev. Mr. Un derwood. pastor of the Columbia M. E. Church, who compared the work of Jesus on earth with the mission ary work. Mrs. F. D. Cox extended a very cordial welcome and Mrs. I- B. Sut ton, of Windsor, responded. The zone leader, Mrs. M. B. Gil - lam, presided and brought a very help ful message on “Faithfulness," espec ially urging the members to pray for a spiritual awakening in our own souls. Mrs. C. T. Rogers and Mrs. C. L. Robbins gave interesting talks on the subjects, “Our Money at Work,’’ and ‘Our Social Service Work.” Members of the zone deemed them selves very fortunate in having pres ent Mrs. Garfield Evans, a missionary from Cuba, who told of her five years of work and experience in Cuba. Mrs. J. Bascom Hurley, Roper del egate to the annual North Carolina conference at Burlington, brought a very helpful and inspiring report of this conference. Splendid reports were given from adult auxiliaries, chil dren’s work, and zone superintendents. The district secretary, Mrs. R. H. Willis, gave a splendid report of last year’s work and outlined the work ex pected to be done this year. She re quested the members to “Just give 'til the Master stops giving to you.” Lunch was served at the church, during which a social hour was en joyed. Mrs. Garfield Evans led the after noon devotional, reading the Oth chap ter of St. Luke ..nd using the theme, "Launch out into the deep and let out your nets.” She declared that the dev il’s best tool was discouragement and that the great aim in the missionary society is to forget all organization and follow Jesus as we launch out into the deep. An instrumental duet was rendered by Mr. and Mrs. Fred Rogers, of Co lumbia, and Mesdames Sykes and Mc Gees, of Columbia, sang a very beau tiful duet, which was greatly enjoyed by all. Special music was rendered by Columbia Juniors. A solo was sung by Fanny Ralph Ward, dressed FROG HUNTING SEASON NOW IN FULL BLAST IN THIS SECTION Many Local Devotees of Sport, Which Includes Killing About As Many Snakes As Frogs; No Jumping Frog Contests Have Been Planned Yet Well, the hall frog season is near ing its peak in Plymouth at the pres-1 ent. Most every night now, various gentlemen are going forth into the: darkness of the night in quest of the noble frogs. However, the only pur-} pose these frogs are being used for to} date is to decorate breakfast boards. So far as could be learned, no enter-} prising iserson has yet attempted to stage a jumping frog contest. Mark Twain would doubtless be dis appointed were he living in that no “Daniel’s'’ have been matched with strangers’ frogs and bets placed ac cordingly. Jim Ausbon, well-known local young man in company with a number of his friends went on a frog raid Mon-i day night and captured thirteen hefty toads together with six noble snakes.! It seems that the snakes were slightly' irritated over being disturbed from their peaceful slumbers. Mr. Aus bon states that be drew a bead on these reptiles with bis trusty rifle, sending each to join the pageantry of their ancestors. The entire force of the Sanitary Bar ber shop staged a frog hunt Tuesday night. However, only eighteen frogs were captured. No snake slayings were reported. Only the hind legs of the frogs are cooked and served for food, which is said to make a very delectable dish in deed. It is difficult to distinguish frog legs when they have been properly fried to a crisp brown front the meat of a chicken. Hence, if this frog hunting continues very long, it is feared that there will soon he no frog orchestras in this vicinity to furnish melodious music of nights to the lovers of concord of sweet sound.

WILL BROADCAST FROM MID-OCEAN -- “Believe It Or Not” Ripley To Be On Air Next Wednesday -® The first ship-to-shore radio broad cast ever attempted from mid-ocea:i will take place next Wednesday eve ning, May 20th, at ":45 Eastern day light time, from the home-bound S. S. Leviathan, of the United States lines, when that ship is a thousand miles front Sandy Hook. A ship-to-shore wireless telephone will carry the voice of Robert L. ("Believe it or Not") Ripley to New York, where it will he broadcast over a regular radio hook up of nine stations covering the At lantic seaboard, from Maine to Geor gia. This will inaugurate a new twice a-week radio program sponsored by the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey. Known all over the civilized world for his "Believe it or Not” cartoons, Mr. Ripley (who signs his drawings simply as “Rip") is returning from a two-months' trip in searoh of new "Quceroddities" and facts that are srtonger than fiction. After search ing through remote corners of Algiers, Tunsi, Morrocco, Egypt, the Balkans, and the Holy Land, as well as Europe, artist Ripley will sail from Southamp ton May 16th. He plans to reveal in his mid-ocean talk, it is reported, some of the latest incredibilities unearthed Ion his trip which he has not yet been I able to work into drawings, j Since the program is scheduled to begin May 20th, and the Leviathan is not scheduled to dock in New \ ork until May 22nd, special methods had |to be adopted to get Mr. Ripley's voice through to waiting listeners, j Nor is the ship-to-shore broadcast the final solution to the problem of putting "Believe it or Nots" on the air. The second program of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey 'featuring Mr. Ripley i- scheduled to go on the air at 7:45 p. m., Eastern daylight time, the same night as the ship docks—May 22nd, and it is prob ably going to be necessary to get Mr. Ripley to the National Broadcasting Studios on Fifth Avenue via seaplane from the Leviathan oft Nantucket Lightship to the Battery, Manhattan. Otherwise he would have no time to rehearse a very difficult program sched uled for that evening. Believe it or not, after that Mr. Rip ley is expected to settle down more or less peacefully in New \ ork, work ing on his drawings, bis talkies, and bis new book and he w.ll take himself and bis voice to the microphone evert' Wednesday and Friday instead of hav ing to have his voice telephoned to a “mike” a thousand miles away. iii a Korean costume, made by a girl in Korea.

The band bore the following superscription: ‘'Paul S. Cutchin, 11 -J-4 llolladay Street, TortsT mouth.

FARM BOARD TO AID IN SELLING PEANUT CROP Steps Being Taken to Form National Marketing Organization -s Definite steps have Ijeen by farmers to establish, with the assistance of the Federal Farm Board, a national marketing organization for the princi pal peanut-growing regions of the southeastern states. For more than a year growers have been holding local meetings prelimi nary to regional conferences. Three regional meetings were held in April, bringing together peanut growers of Alabama. Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina. A fourth regional meeting will be held in Virginia. During the last five years these states have pro duced more than 80 per cent of the peanuts grown in the United States. Organization plans for the Alabania Florida regional were agreed upon at a meeting held at Dothan, Ala., on April 17. A marketing agreement and by-laws were drafted and accepted by the growers, who have made applica tion for a charter of an organization to .be known as the Alabama-Florida Peanut Growers Cooperative Associa tion. Similar meetings were held at Al bany, Ga., on April 22, and at Wind sor, N. C., on April 28. Committees were selected and instructed to pro ceed immediately to organize the growers of these states into regiona's. The Windsor meeting was attended by county agents, vocational teachers, state marketing specialists, a repre sentative of the F'ederal Farm Board, and peanut growers from North Car olina. Their regional will be known as the North Carolina Peanut Growers Mutual Exchange. Virginia farmers will hold a meet ing on June 2 at Suffolk, Ya., for the purpose of deciding whether or not growers in that state are ready to proceed in setting up a regional or ganization as is being done in the other peanut-producing states. Growers al ready have started their organization work in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina. It is planned to make the county the local unit and use the federated plan of organization in North Carolina and possibly in Georgia, while the central plan will be used in Alabama and Florida. Leaders are planning to perfect the regional organizations in time to op erate them in handling this year’s pea nut crop in North Carolina, Alabama, and Florida. -■* Home Agent Announces Schedule for Next Week Monday, at Cherry: Tuesday, at conference: (Pleasant Grove Club will meet May 25th): Wednesday, at Swain; Thursday, at Creswell; Fri day, at Alba; Saturday, curb market.
