Large and small growers and others interested were questioned. Here are a few of the opinions that were recorded about the matter. Some of them were radical and others were extremely conservative. Read them and see what your thoughts are on the matter. Maybe your ideas were voiced. Walter Spruill—Let’s quit growing peanuts for awhile. I predicted when the old organization failed that unless a cooperative method was used that this would be the case. Ten years ago there were no marketing low price reasons of wet peanuts and moving them too fast. New arguments by the buyers. Mr. Ange, of Jantesville—Don’t know what to say. Such a confusion about it that I don't know what to do. If cooperation will help, it seems that every grower is willing. A. L. Owens—Frank to admit, don't know what to do. It seems that or derly marketing is a good plan. Pea nuts should be held off the market and an appeal made to the cleaners to aid in getting better prices. E. H. Liverntan—A sad calamity. Wish I could say something truthful that would make you feel good. There seems to be no solution. But all should work to gether. W. H. Clark—Peanut business has broke me. There is a large amount of nuts stored in Chicago. Weather conditions making wet peanuts have aided in demoralizing the market. QuQality all round not so good. C. L. Bailey—All of us growers are a pack of fools. Can’t trust other grower. Plan to hold peanuts off mar ket and sell through a central com mittee without pool system is good. Any business firm that will enforcd payment on legal paper and make grower sell peanuts at a cent a pound if this is the sole cause of the action then that firm should be boycotted. John Leggett—Growers should con tract for sale of peanuts before taking them to buyer so that there will be no circumstantial forced sales like that fellow who has his peanuts at the market and will sell them cheap rath er than carry them back home. Rush ing to market should be prevented. Z. V. Norman—Not a single move ment has been made by the governor nor the commissioner of agriculture to relieve the peanut situation. Never heard of moratorium for farmer. Con ditions reach all alike. There should be no boycott of person for enforcing payment of legitimate paper. J. Corbitt Swain—Reduction of acreage does not mean less peanuts in any year. Now have as much on 150 acres as against 200 acres last year. This should be left to the individual. C. E. Mizelle—Been wrong on pea nuts and afraid to speak. Bills from doctors, stores, clothing for children, can not wait even if bank would do so in effort to aid holding movement. Commissioners will sell land for taxes. What can you do? Roy Manning—Wonder how many are willing to curtail acreage next year to exactly one-half of the pres ent number? This should decrease the surplus and boost price. Piano Class Pupils of Mrs. Hicks in Recital -• Three pupils of the piano class of Mrs. E. H. Hicks gave a program in the chapel in the Plymouth High School last Friday. The children wore colonial costumes ano rendered piano solos and duets with a few old-fash iend dances thrown in for good meas ure. The pupils were Helen Harrison daughter of Mrs. Katherine Harrison, Ann Liverman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Liverman, Wilford Whit ley, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Whit ley. To Hold Reunion of 56th Pioneer Infantry “All former North Carolina mem bers of the 56th Pioneer Infantry, American Expeditionary Forces, inter ested in a state reunion and organiza tion are urged to write at once to eith er O. B. Shelley or Louie Hart, Mon roe, N. C.” This is the text of a cord received from L. F. Hart, of Monroe, who asks that publication be given the above, as “there are a number in Washing ton County who served with this reg iment in France, Belgium, and Ger many during 1918-1919.” Lees Mill Convention To Be Held Sunday Roper.—The Lees Mills Township Sunday school convention will be held at the Pleasant Grove church on Sunday afternoon, December 11, at 2 o’clock, as this convention was not held November 27 as was first adver tised, on account of bad weather, it was announced today by Miss Lela Chesson, secretary of the organiza tion. MAKE PLANS TO MARKET PEANUT CROP IN COUNTY -<8> Organization Is Perfected With A. L. Owens As County Chairman -<D An organization has been perfected in Washington County that will join the eleven other peanut-growing coun ties in an effort to held peanuts off the market and to sell the nuts thru a central committee without pool has been perfected with A. L. Owens, one of the largest growers, as county chair man. Assisting Mr. Owens will be the fol j lowing township chairmen: Lees I Mills: L. E. Hassell; Skinnersville: J. C. Swain; Scuppernong: Walter Starr. Mr. Owens will also serve as chairman of Plymouth Township. These men will aid Mr. Owens in se curing information in their respec tive localities. Serving with the chairmen in the | townships are the following persons: Plymouth: E. H.. Liverman, A. L. Alexander, H. C. Spruill, J. H. Allen; Lees Mills: J. E. Phelps, J. T. McAl lister, J. E. Davenport, E. M. Ches son; Skinnersville: Chester Spruill, M. F. Davenport, W. P. Patrick, L. C. Spruill. Members of Scuppernong will be named later. These men are in favor of securing the sympathy of the cleaners and shellers and discourage the picketing idea. They want a steady and order ly movement of peanuts to market with discriminate sales. They wish a central selling committee that will ad vise them when to sell. And wish they could store peanuts wit^i 75 per cent of value now to be held for a higher price by the association which gives them benefit of the increase in price. Thomas H. Spruill Is Buried Near Creswell Creswell.—Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon, November 26, from the home of Mrs. Vida Dav enport for Thomas H. Spruill, who died Thursday night at 12 o’clock from a severe heart attack. Rev. W. H. Hollowell, pastor of the Missionary Baptist church, conducted the funeral services. Interment was made in the family cemetery near here. Beautiful floral offerings bespoke the many friendships of the deceased. Mr. Spruill was a native of Wash ington County. He was a builder, contractor, and painter. At the time of his death he was under contract to paint the Baptist church at Creswell, which he built and of which e was a member and a regular attendant prior to is moving to Norfolk.

TOWN COUNCIL MEET MONDAY To Secure Extra Policeman For Force During Holidays If a cooperative scheme can be i worked out then the police force here will be increase by one person for the Christmas holidays. It is the inten tion of the town to provide some of the funds for employing this man if the merchants will pay a part of the price. It is thought that a man can be se cured' to help George Coburn, night policeman, for about $8 or $9 weekly. This would put two patrolmen on the business streets for all night long. Mr. Coburn will continue to punch the clock. Some one has suggested M. G. Darden for this job. The city council decided in a meet ing Monday night to aid in this pro tection for the .citizens in view of the fact that conditions are such now that there is an epidemic of burglary and larceny in near-by towns and it is hoped to be prepared should this town be visited again. A resolution was passed by the members of the city council instruct ing City Clerk M. W. Spruill to write a special letter to E. R. Jackson, who resigned some time ago, urging him to reconsider his action and asking him to serve his term out as a mem ber of the council. -« Robert Loder Tells His Experience on the Seas He was just a lonely old salt who had roamed the seven seas. Like most of the old swabs who have serv ed their" time in ships on the high seas he wanted conversation. And talk he must. So into the Beacon of fice he walked and bought a paper. Then he opened up with the old jargon of the sea-going men who have helped the United States Navy to make history. He told everything. He was glad that Hoover was defeat ed; mentioned that 10 cents a pound is too low for chickens; remarked that America would have been dominated by Germany if they had lost the World War. "Yes, I vvaf in the World. War. t was Lieutenant Commander Robert Loder and that was one time a rank ing officer on the United States Ship “Florida” which helped to transport troops to France. I limp now on ac count of an incident that happened on the seas in the struggle. “An aeroplane sent a wireless that a submarine was trailing our boat making ready for a shot. Unexpect edly from an off-side this sub shot the boat and a piece of the sharpnel lodged in my leg. But little damage was done.” “Surprised me that George Wash ington’s picture was in the art gal lery of Palais de Versaille in France and I failed to remove my hat while passing through. A French guide thought I lacked in respect for this great man, and abruptly left me in the palace to find my own way out.” Potato Growers of County Urged to Attend Meetings Potato growers in Washington County are urged to attend one of the potato outlook meetings that will be held at near-by points by A. E. Merck er, secretary of the interstate early po tato committee, who operates under the exetension service of th bureau of agricultural economics of the United States Department of Agriculture. Mr. Mercker will speak himself on the business situation, the old pota to situation, 1933 early acreage in tentions-to-plan of southern growers, and the factors affecting the prices of early potatoes. A meeting for the Washington County growers will be held in the high school building at Pantego at 7:30 p. m., November 30, with E. W. Joyner in charge and at Columbia in the courthouse at 3 p. nt., December 1, with W. V. Hays in charge. Chapel Hill Negroes To Get Old Schoolbuilding The negroes in the Chapel Hill sec tion have asked the Washington County Board of Education for the old white school building to he used in place of the present structure be ing used for the Macedonia school children. The board of education agreed to this, provided the negroes in the dis trict furnished the material for the improvements and the work to he don eby relief work labor. -• Mr. Henry Patrick Dies Suddenly in Skinnersville Skinncrsville.—Henry Patrick, la bout 70 years of age, who lived near Scuppernong, died at his home sev eral weeks ago.

REGULAR MEET COUNTY BOARD HELD MONDAY * . Carl L. Bailey Gives Up Duties As Solicitor of County Court Relieving Carl I,. Bailey of the duties of prosecuting attorney at his request, the AVashington County Commissioners Monday appointed W. L. Whitley to this office, as Mr. Baliey S could not serve in the State Senate and retain the local court job. Mr. Bailey’s action in asking that he be relieved of the duties of solid- I tor of recorder’s court met with the general approval of the people in the county, who felt that Mr. Bailey should not attempt the responsibility of serv ing as county attorney, state senator,, and prosecutor. The new solicitor of the recorder's court will continue the duties of this office at a lower salary than his pre decessor received, as the commission ers are now offering only $50 monthly to the prosecuting attorney and the judge of recorder’s court, who is now John W. Darden. Mr. Bailey will possibly continue to serve as legal advisor of the board, which is commonly known as county attorney and will also continue his ac tivities in the foreclosure suits that are pending against those who are de linquent taxpayers and whose land has been sold in the process of law. Just as the office of prosecuting at torney was abolished at the meeting of the commissioners some time ago | then it was reestablished Monday. Applicants for the job included Van B. Martin, W. M. Darden, and E. L. Owens. It is not known whether Mr. Whitley applied or was asked to ac cept the office. Mrs. Mary O. Sawyer, newly elect ed register of deeds, who also acts as clerk to the board of commissioners, presented her bond duly executed for I $2,500 to the board and it was ac j cepted, and she entered Monday upon her duties as register of deeds and clerk to tln^ board. The bond of $20,000 presented by Ernest G. Arps as treasurer was ac ! cepted with the one prese^eU by W. ,T. Nurney for $500 as coroner, and they were both sworn in Monday. Township constables will be sworn in the first Monday in January. Reports were heard from Miss Eu genia Patterson, home demonstration agent, and R. E. Dunning, county farm agent, by the commissioners. A resolution passed designating the Branch Banking and Trust Company of Plymouth as depository for the county funds with a requirement that a bond of $15,000 be given if it be comes necessary. This bond is a small increase over the one last year. C. C. Spruill was retained as fore man of the farm of the county at the rate of $16.66 monthly as long as his services are satisfactory. Captain C. E. Mizelle To Interview County Citizens Days have been designated by Capt. C. E. Mizzell, representative of Wash hington County in the lower house of the legislature, to interview the citizens in Washington County about j the problems and to get their sugges tions as to what efforts he should make in their behalf in the legislature.

Man To Be Buried Alive At Roper Friday Night Wilbur Phelps, son of Mr. and Mrs. Linwood Phelps, of Roper, will be bur ied alive at the Central Service Sta tion in Roper Friday night, December 9, at 8 o’clock. He will stay in the ground six days. This young man stayed under the ground 10 days in Roanoke Rapids recently and six days in Edenton. He has been in this kind of work some time. Two young men will act as as sistants to Ph#ps and will send food to him through a ventilator that will he allowed. -S Correction -«> Mrs. L. P. Pharr, owner of the Log Cabin Filling Station in the Skinners ville section, complained that the Beacon was in error last week in the story of the finding of the dead body of Tom Spruill at Alexander’s store. He objections were to the sentence, "acquaintances are said to have seen Mr. Spruill, who was about 40 years old .hanging around the Log Cabin Filling Station earlier.” Mrs. Pharr said that he never hung around her filling station and that this was a r mistake. COMMUNITY TREE PLANS Carol Singing Will Be In Charge of Cicero Norman -*— - Plans are being perfected for a community Christmas tree and carol singing at the Riverview Park on Christmas Eve. The plans are that the singing will be under the direc tion of Cicero Norman and the choirs of the city churches will take part. The Scripture of the Christ Child will be quoted by Rev. Richard Lucas and prayer will be by Dr. J. W. Harrell. Mrs. Ben Sumner has had charge of the garden arrangement, and a beau tiful cedar is planted in the center which is to be decorated for the fes tival. The instrumental music will be furnished by the Plymouth firemen’s band. Mr. and Mrs. Brewer again wish to thank every one in the county for their wonderful cooperation and valuable assistance in using the funds supplied by the state for the relief projects, not only in Plymouth but Creswell and Roper, for it is only by the whole hearted combined efforts of all that these things have been accomplished. TEACHERS HOLD MEET AT CHERRY Discuss Various Problems Schools Are Confronted With Today -« Cherry, Dec. 8.—Methods in health training and instruction were sched uled for discussion at the third meet ing of the Washington County Teach ers' Association to be held in the Cher ry School Building at 8 o’clock on De cember 8. Three minutes each have been al lotted to Miss Helen White, Miss Be atrice Limstrong, and Lawrence B.

J. Prank lurches, director of the Plymouth High School athletics, was given IS minutes to lay before the or ganization his ideas of what should constitute the course in physical edu cation in a school with 12 teachers. Six minutes each were allotted to R. B.

Norman is to have six minutes on the same subject The relationship the school and home, should maintain toward each other in th ehealth program was point ed out by Miss Ruth Chesson, C. H. Rabon, and Mrs. Hortense Ambrose Barnes. Principal E. N. Riddle, of Roper, was to show what make the teacher the most important factor in the school education program. “Should knowledge or proper con duct precede reasons for conduct? Do the principles in the textbooks ade quately cover the case? Make your own list.” This is the knotty prob leb for A. W. Davenport and Miss Peggy Nickels to solve. “List Desirable Incentives Which Will Apply To All Grades and Tell Those That Have Been Successful and To Star Desirable Ones” is the task of Miss Lucy Swain, Miss Carrie J. Herman, and Mrs. Josephine Holmes| “Are the Pupils You each Led to Relate Growth and Health Behavior Through Graphs, Weight Records, Health Charts, Freedom From Illness and Feeling of Fitness” is the ques tion to he answered by E.

ABANDON FIGHT FOR CONTROL OF LOCAL SCHOOL County Board Decides To Drop Matter in Interest Of Economy --— Abandonment of their court fight to retain control and management of the Washington Training School on ac count of the extra expense to the tax payers” featured the session of the Washington County Board of Edu cation Monday. A resolution was passed in the meeting that the county officials would abandon their appeal noted before Judge F. A. Daniels, who ruled that the Plymouth Graded School District trustees should control and manage the school and restrained the county board from interfering. It was further ordered in the judg ment that the Plymouth school board should recover from the county board of education any costs as levied by the clerk of the superior court that was caused the town board by the suits. It is not known what will be done about this cost. Since the erection of the negro school building in 1929 the county of ficials have been in charge of the busi ness administration while E. H. Hicks, superintendent of city schools, has vol unteered his services heretofore to i supervise instruction. The town board brought a suit ear lier in the year against the Washing ton County Board of Education seek ing to secure control of the school ear lier in the school Jerm, but this war. not consummated until Monday, after the matter had been before judges I for twu or more hearings.

Chase, manager of the Carolinas division of the Virginia Elec trie and Power Company, to furnish free current, and the relief organiza tions will furnish the labor to be used in erecting this wiring. Free Trip Offered To Club Boys and Girls -®.— Members of the 4-H Clubs in Wash ington County arc eligible for com petition in the contest being sponsor ed by the Atlantic Coast Line Rail road Company, which allows a week in the nation's capital at the expense of the railroad to the boy and girl in North Carolina having the best all round record in club work. This trip will be made to the Na tional 4-H Club camp that will be held in Washington, D. C., during the sum mer of 1 ‘>33 under the auspices of the United States Department of Agri culture. Selection of the boy and girl to represent North Carolina will be made by the State Club agents and the extension'division of State College. MAY ABOLISH SPECIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT HERE Understood That Petitions Will Soon Be Circulated In Township -» Rumors have reached the Beacon that petitions may be circulated in Plymouth township seeking the signa tures of voters who are in favor of annulling the charter of the Plymouth schools and operating them under the county-wide system. If the Plymouth white and colored schools were operating under the county system and not as separate units then a saving of about $700 an nually could he made to the taxpayers and in the same time render the same efficiency as at the present. There are nine items that come un der the business administration of the Plymouth school that could be elimi nated without, impairing the efficiency of the schools if the control and bus iness management were under the supervision of the county superintend ent of public instruction. The first and largest item to he elim inated is that of tlie salary of $337.50 that is paid to the treasurer, which of fice is now held by Dr. Claudius Mc Gowan. If the county were in charge, then the checks would be issued thru the county treasurer as for the rest of the counv schools. Then there would be no need of an expense of $150 annually for an audit, as the books would be kept in the unit ed system, and there would be no need of a separate audit of these books. There is the item of $7.90 for traveling expenses of the board mem bers. There was no explanation of this item. The treasurer’s bond premium of $25 would be eliminated, as well as the $60.01 traveling expenses for the city superintendent as well as stop ping the office expense of the city sup erintendent of schools that amounted to $65.07 last year. Also there was an advance made to Dr. C. McGowan as treasurer of $32 that would not have to he spent again. It is the information of the Beacon that there should be no expense item of $37.43 for compensation insurance in schools, but this was one of the items shown in the audit for last year. It appears that the schools are not required to carry this compensation insurance. Then there would be no $15 for Jerk hire that was paid to Russell Harrison for 1930-31 term. All of these figures are based on the tal illation made in the audit report of A. T. Allen & Co., of Raleigh, cer tified public accountants, who exam ined the hooks of the Plymouth Grad ed School District for the period be tween July 1, 1931, to June 30, 1932. There would be no change in the control of the schools except that the teachers for the white and colored schools would be recommended for employment by the county superin tendent of public instruction instead of by the city superintendent. The city superinendent would re tain his job as supervisor of the in structional service, but would be classed as a principal in the school and would also get an increase in sal ary of $520, as there would be an in crease in the number of teachers un der his supervision with his taking over the supervision of the negro schools. The auditor’s report carried the fol lowing: “The schools should keep a more permanent record of their re ceipts and disbursements than was kept in the year of 1931-32, and we recommend that the treasurer obtain from the State Deparment of Edu cation some of the standard forms which they recommend for this pur pose.” If sufficient signatures could be af fixed to the documents that may be circulated then the petitions could be introduced in the legislature by some member and thus relieve the neces sity of a referendum or an election on the matter. li this matter was considered and the schools united, then there would be a six-months school supported by the State and the extra two months could be supported by the taxpayers as is done in the uniform system of the county. Revoking the charter would make no change in the number of school days. Cherry School Patron Donates Playground .» Cherry.—Julius Snell, one of the school friends, save a nice large extra playground to be used by the school children during the school term and by the baseball boys during the sum mer. “We all appreciate Mr. Snell’s kind ness, and we hope that the school children will show their appreciation of what he has done by keeping it nice and in good order,” Mrs. Miss Kugenia Patterson.
