When the local district officials as sumed charge of the negro school here in the administration department a bout two weeks ago they discharged a teacher named Barnette and employed in his stead Doris Bell, daughter of Attorney P. H. Bell, to take his place. Later they reemployed Barnette and retained Doris Bell as well after making a shift in the faculty. They took Barnette from the science depart ment in the high school and put him in the fifth grade and assigned the new teacher to this position. The officials that at first dropped Barnette found that there were about 120 or more pupils in one of the low er grades, and thus they felt that the State Board of Equalization would ap propriate for this teacher as the usual schedule for a teacher is about 60, so they took Barnette on again. The town board officials aver that ; James W. Norman, county superin tendent of public instruction, and E. H. Hicks, superintendent of city schools, were appointed to recommend the teachers for the present term some time ago. They agreed upon all ex cept Barnette at that time. Later it was decided to employ Barnette, and he was put on the list fo teachers al legedly without the consent of Mr. Hicks. Thus in the meantime the city board had entered into a contract with Doris Bell. As the county board w'as in charge then, Barnette secured the job. When the city board was granted the right lately to the control of the schools, then the town officials feared that unless they lived up to their contract with the Bell girl they would be sued for breach of contract, and they claimed they had no contract with Barnette. The result of the matter was that the town officials felt that they could dispense with the services of Barnette if they desired, as he was given no contract by them, and they were afraid not to employ the Bell girl. After finding enough children to permit it, then Barnette was retained again. SEVERAL FIRMS LEAVING TOWN --V Elizabeth City Man Might Open Motor Company at Buchanan Stand -® A few businesses have lost faith in Plymouth. Or so it appears. The Sanitary Barber Shop, which has been operating here for a number of year, more recently under the man agement of Mr. Bergeron, with C. C. Craft as an employee, closed last Sat urday and today all the fixtures have been moved out, leaving the place va cant. It is also understood that the Gladys Coffee Shop that was operated by Mrs. Gladys Hendrix next to the Beacon office, is closed, as no one has been selling anything in there this week. The Buchanan Motor Company has been closed down for a couple or more weeks and S. A. Ward, the last man ager, is no longer interested in the concern. It is understood that W. G. Gaither, of Elizabeth City, is interest ed in the firm, but he has done noth ing toward reopening the place as far as is known. Leon Sugar and the Young Mer cantile Company have advertised they were removing their stores from Ply mouth, but they were both open and doing business Wednesday aft ernoon. It is not definitely known what the Plymouth Hardware Com pany will do either. Christmas Celebration at Lodge Last Monday Night More than 200 people attended the Chapel Hill community Sunday school Christmas celebration Monday night at the Charitable Brotherhood Lodge, when a good program was rendered. Supt. W. C. Brewer read the scriptural narrative of the Christmas story. *A special song was sung by a group of 20 girls and boys to support the congregational singingt Miss Helen Bowen made a short recitation. Santa Claus distributed the gifts from a beautiful Christmas tree to 50 mem bers of the primary and junior classes, with each receiving an individual gift. Before leaving each guest was pre sented fruit. A feature of the exer cises was that-all gifts and fruits were paid for from the Sunday school funds. c j Hunting Party Bags Three Deer Near Here Thursday -® Three buck deer were bagged by a hunting party near here last Thurs day. The huntsmen included Murray Satterfield, of New York, who is con nected with the Knox Hat Company, and Mrs. Jones, of Los Angeles, Calif, and Asheville, as the guests of Ben A. Sumner. The visitors reportd a good time and expressed appreciation of finding game so plentiful. JOHN DARDEN TO SHIP TOMATOES AGAIN THIS YEAR -<s> To Operate Independently of the Crockett Pack ing Company Inauguration of a new and better method of handling the tomato crop in Washington County for the ap proaching spring has been announced by Joh W. Darden, who is operating independently this year and is in no way connected with the Crockett Packing Company. In the new method Mr. Darden will pack and ship the tomatoes with the identity of the grower retained on the lot, and the check will be mailed to the grower from the purchaser with the deduction of the sales agent's commission by the purchaser at the other end, and thus each man will get his money without room to complain. This is not meant in any way to Interfere with the organizations ’at Roper and Plymouth, says Mr. Dar den, but it is to be operated for the planters who wish to sell their toma toes direct and receive an itemized ac count of their total sales and the a liiount of the deduction for commis sion so that there will be no unpleas antness resulting. Mr. Darden is of the opinion that he can handle 300 up to 500 acres through this method, and can render satisfaction as he has been in the bus iness now for four seasons and knows the ills and troubles caused by the old sales method and will use the new method of the check coming back to the grower. Seed for those shipping through Mr. Darden will be furnished at cost. In cluded in the service that he will ren der the growers is that of the general labor, grading, packing, labeling, wrapping paper, loading sticks, boxes, nails, and nailing, and his commission in payment for this will be deducted by purchaser and the remainder sent to the grower direct. *" MV. garden states that he is coop erating wth about 30 or more commis sion houses in the north and middle western markets, and that each day he gets quotations of the prices, and he believed that he can render the peo ple service that surpasses any hereto fore. -® BETTER COWS FOR THE STATE -- Tests Show State Within Close Range of National Production Average -<$> An analysis of records kept on 1,651 cows in the North Carolina herd im provement associations last year in dicate that these animals psoduced an average of 6,927 pounds of milk con taining 303 pounds of butterfat. The average feed iost per row was $91. “This report was made by the United States Department of Agri culture which has been studying our testing work,” says John A. Arey, dairy extension specialist at State College. “The figures supplied by the national department show that we have made a steady gain in milk and fat porduction and that the members of our cow-testing associations are gradually replacing their herds on a more efficient production basis. The increase in fat production during the past three years from 267 pounds to 303 pounds is a record to be produ of. We arc now within three pounds of the national average.” Mr. Arey says persistent culling is partly responsible for this rapid in crease in production. During the past three years from ten to twelve per cent of the cows on test were culled each year because they were unprofit able. When the herd records show that a cow is not paying her owner, he does not hesitate to send her to the butcher. However, many unprofitable cows are retained in herds if no pro duction records are kept. If all the fluid milk producers in North Crolina would keep herd rec ords and send to the butcher all ma ture cow's which produced less than 6,000 pounds of milk a year, the pres ent surplus of milk in the State would quickly disappear and the net returns from the remaining cows would be materilly increased. The production of the unprofitable cows will probably equal the surplus which now exists in the fluid markets, Arey believes. PIGS AND COWS CONTINUING TO GROW IN FAVOR Cardwell Says Farm Needs Feed Before It Needs Live Stock By GUY A. CARDWELL Sensing an increase in popularity, Benjamin Franklin is said to have re ferred to his growing importance in the esteem of his neighbors in these words: “Now that I have a pig and a cow, every one bids me good morrow.” It was true in Franklin’s time, and it is likewise true today that the own ers of livestock are more important individuals in the estimation of their neighbors than are those farmers who are not possessed of livestock. While every farm needs livestock, it should be borne in mind that a farm needs feed before it needs livestock. Do not let any one influence you to the contrary, for if you do you will certainly have the cart before the horse. The late Thomas W. Bickett, like Franklin, was possessed of imagina tion and vision. Being troubled about the condition of North Carolina farm ers on a certain occasion during his administration as governor, he ex pressed his. belief in live-at-home farm ing in the following forceful manner: “If I were Czar of North Carolina instead of the Governor, I would is sue an edict declaring that from and after five years from date any man who imported into North Carolina any corn or meal, wheat or flour, beef or bacon, should he forthwith hanged and without benefit of clergy. Of course, in the beginning I should be denounced as an infamous tyrant, but after the law had been in effect for ten years the richest state in the union would build a monument to me as the financial redeemer of my people.” More than a decade has passed since Governor Bickett termed our failure to live at home a high crime. Unfor tunately, he was not a Czar but only a Governor, hence he was unable to bring about the improvement in farm ing conditions that his brilliant mind and keen vision caused him to advo cate. Our preset distinguished governor, the Hon. O. Max Gardner ,has done much to encourage not only North Carolina farmers but also those of neighboring states to declare their in dependence of the smokehouses, gran aries, creameries, and hay fields of the North and West. But thousands of farmers still remain to be converted to a live-at-home program, and shown how they can change from an unprofit able to a prosperous method of farm ing. I have often said that the proper placement , of livestock on southern I farms would result in lessening the J cost of production of the usual crops by giving larger yields on smaller acreages, and, in addition, would pro vide milk, cream, calves, hogs, lambs, wool, poultry, eggs, and occasionally a milk cow or beef animal for sale. I have also stated that increased income, better distributed, is one of the greatest needs of our farmers— not altogether for their benefit, but for the good of business generally. Some may wish to know by what authority I write and speak on such subjects. If this should occur, I wish to say that the Atlantic Coast Line has for many years given close atten tion to the development of business in its territory. It has sought over a long period to have wisely brought into production unproductive lands—it has suggested and helped with new crops. In these and in other ways it has endeavored to increase the income of the rural population. In the early eighties naval stores furnished a considerable part of the wealth of this section. With the pass ing of this industry, the people were left impoverished and the railroad without ample tonnage. The men of vision then in charge of the destinies of the Atlantic Coast Line system decided that this section was adapted to the growing of straw berries and a variety of vegetables. In the late eighties and early nineties, specialists were employed by the rail road to promote the growing of truck crops and to show farmers how to grow and market these crops. The Atlantic Coast Line also substantially aided in establishing bright leaf to bacco growing in Eastern North and South Carolina. In more recent years it has been realized that the farmer who depends solely upon the old money crops is a goner, and that his business can only be established on a firm foundation by adding food and feed crops to his plan of work, and further by carrying on the place a reasonable number of live stock. While this system has the ef fect of keeping all hands busy for 12 months ill the year it also spreads in come over the entire year and makes cotton, tobacco, and peanuts actually what they should be—cash or money crops. SEEK TO HAVE PEANUTS ADDED TO RELIEF PLAN Domestic Allotment Plan Would Greatly Aid the Growers It is Thought The Beacon is in receipt of a com munication from Congressman John H. Kerr and Lindsay C. Warren in which the solons voice their intention to make some effort to aid in the pea nut industry. Their statement regard ing the peanut situation follows: ‘'We have been greatly interested in the possibility of some form of • federal legislation for the benefit of the peanut growers. The market price for this commodity has for three years been much below the cost of produc tion, and it is about the only agricul tural commodity which now has no price. The Department of Agriculture has instructed its field agents to encour age the peanut farmers to store their 1932 crop and hold for a better market and has advised them that curtailment of future crops is imperative. This is the only remedy that the Department of Agriculture has suggested. The Domestic Allotment Plan now pending in Congress undertakes to in crease the price of four basic agricul tural products, viz: Cotton, wdieat, to bacco and hog products. This bill proposes to pay the producers of these commodities an increase above the market price—47 cents per bushel for wheat, 5 cents per pound for cotton, 2 cents per pound for tobacco, and 2 cents per pound for hog products. This is predicated upon a contract with the farmer that he will cut his produc tion and thus let the surplus of these commodities be naturally absorbed. This increased price is paid by a tax collected from the processor of each commodity, and of course the proces sor passes it on to the final consumer. Only those who contract to reduce their crops will receive the benefit of this tax. The advocates of this meas ure insist that all agricultural com modities will rise to a profit level if this bill can become law. We are following same closely, but will await to see its final form before we lake a definite position on same. We have endeavored to get peanuts inserted into the Domestic Allotment Plan. It is contended by those who oppose this that should it be done; then the bill will be open for every! other commodity and that it would defeat the purpose of the act. It is ex tremely doubtful if peanuts or any other commodity except those named will be included, but we will make a fight for same when the measure comes up for consideration. "Those peanuts upon which the gov ernment has a lien for money ad vanced to produce same, the Depart ment of Agriculture is willing to ne gotiate with the owners in respect to a sale or storage thereof. We have, together with Congressmen Drewry anil Lankford, taken up the matter of relief for these growers to the end that they may adjust the matter of their debt and then be at liberty to dis pose of or handle the unincumbered! part of their crop. The department, has agreed that the grower may have' the option of storing and holding these indefinitely, the costs of storage being! released, or the grower may negoti ate loans at the Regional Agricultural Credit Corporation for seventy-five per cent of their market value, to be used by the grower under the distress pol icy of the department or in the liqui dation of all or some part of the debt to the government, this to be deter mined in each individual case by the field agent. ‘‘We have been informed by Mr. Don C. McVay, chief of the crop pro ducing loan office, that he will rec ommend to the Department of Agri culture, and that lie thinks it wall be approved, that each peanut grower who is indebted to the government be allowed to collateralize his debt with peanuts at the price of 1.26 cents per pound, the same ratio price allowed j cotton growers, and allow the re mainder of crop to be released and used by the grower. “This is the situation in respect to the peanut growers. We make this statement in order that large sections of our districts may fully understand that we have been greatly interested in their problms, and are ready to aid and cooperate in any proper way that we can.” -S> Three Marriage Licenses Issued During Holidays -« Marriage licenses were issued to the following couples by Mrs. Mary O. Sawyer, register of deeds, during the Christmas holidays: December 24: Paul Basnight, of Plymouth, to Miss Beatrice Ange, Jamesville; December 23: Henry Vance Harrison, Plymouth, to Miss Ercula Ange, Plymouth; De cember 24, William Jasper Skiles, of Woodard, to Miss Johnnie Spruill, of Plymouth. Several Hundred People Are Given Aid During Christmas The Christmas season in Ply mouth and Washington County was a success to a certain degree. Over 100 families were cared for with baskets of fruits, foods, and clothing. A total of 406 men were given pay checks, the aggregate amounting to about $1,200, which was a great help to the men as well as the merchants of the county. Twenty-six nice hens were donat ed by friends of the welfare workers. These were dressed and put in baskets with apples, oranges and candy, oatmeal, raisins, sugar, meat, irish potatoes, coffee ai^d baking powder. Sixty baskets were distributed in and around Plymouth and because prepara tions were made for only 50 bas kets, some were short on the a bove-mentioried articles. The carol singing, which was to have been held on Christmas Day was called off because of the absence of Mrs. W. C. Brewer, who was in Sebring, Fla., because of the death of her father, Adju tant George B. Austin. Mr. Brewer wishes to thank every one in Plymouth, Roper, Creswell, and Cherry for their splendid cooperation in making Christmas a joyous day for many little children in the county who otherwise would have had noth ing and the need was so great that many little ones had to go on bravely hoping that Santa Claus would not forget them next year. HOLIDAYS PASS QUIETLY; ONLY FEW ARRESTED Recorder’s Court Will Hear Cases Growing Out of Several Escapades A survey of the usual Christmas in cidents that occurred in Washington County during last week-end reveal that the quiet old town came to life again with the victims now sad be cause of their escapades. l'reeman Martin, well-known young white man of Plymouth, was jailed to await court on a charge of driving an Automobile while drunk during the holidays. The arrest did not follow as the result of an accident or tragedy that followed his driving, but he was apprehended in this alleged condition. Stancil Liverman and Tom Blount will be tried when the appropriate time arrives for engaging in an affray on Water Street. No serious injury; was inflicted upon either of the com-' batants. Local officers made the ar rest shortly after the altercation. An automobile being driven alleged ly by Litnvood Hassell, who was ac companied by F. M. Hodges, hit a post on Water Street, damaging the car pretty badly, but doing little or no injury to the occupants of the ve hicle. Cheek Bowser, negro, was tried in ■ a magistrate’s court Tuesday and fined $5.50 on a charge of being drunk and disorderly and using profane language on the streets, of Plymouth Saturday. An altercation of short duration al so occurred when a group of negroes j was said to have attacked Herman Alexander and Robert Smith on Water Street Saturday night. A few sharp words between Alexander and one of the negroes is said to have drawn! Smith into the matter. This will like ly come up in recorder’s court. FRUIT IS NEEDED IN FOOD SUPPLY Not Necessary To Have Large Orchard, But Few Trees Desirable It is not necessary to have an elab orate orchard to secure an adequate supply of fruit for the farm home. A few trees of desirable varieties may be planted about the yard and out buildings and in addition to serving as shade and ornaments, will give a food source now lacking in many homes. II. R. Niswonger, extension horti culturist at State College, says it is just as essential in supplying a well rounded diet for the farm family to have a few fruit trees and vines as it is to have a supply of vegetables from the home garden. So often when an acre of land is planted to the orchard, the trees are neglected. The present neglected home orchards in this state are examples of this. Therefore a good plan is to plant a small number of the different kinds of trees and set them in such a way as to fit in with the planting scheme for beautifying the farm homestead. Nis wonger says pear and cherry trees may be set in the rear or at the side of the farm dwelling and will serve as shade trees in addition to bearing fruit as they mature. The beautiful blos soms will add to the beauty of the place. Apple, peach, and plum trees may be set near the other farm build ings or along the side and rear line of the garden fence. Here they provide an attractive setting for these usually unsightly buildings. Grape vines may be planted along the front line of the garden fence and strawberries and other small fruits may have a place iri the garden. Mr. Niswonger therefore recom mends trying these plantings: Six ap ple and peach trees: three plum trees; three cherry trees; 10 grape vines; 100 strawberry plants and 25 raspberry plants. Other fruits, such as figs and Japanese persimmons, Concise Report Made by County Agent Dunning -<g) Here is a concise report of his work for a short period made by R. E. Dun ning, Washington County Farm A gent ,tliat was published recently: “Made annual report to commis sioners, also presented plan of work for another year. Met with charter members of the Plymouth Mutual Ex change to consider growers' agree ment for another year. Distributed! poisoned rat bait to 23 farmers enlist- j ing in battle against pests. Assisted Glenn Davidson in asking sioybean survey of the county for the purpose of establishing crushing plant, furnish ing a market for soybeans.” LOCAL MOVIE TO CLOSE SATURDAY Is Rumored That Outside Interests Might Operate the Local Theatre -« It appears now that the New The atre in Plymouth will close down a gain at the conclusion of this week’s program. H. A. Williford has already signified to A. L. Owens, owner of the build ing, who is in control of the fixtures, that he is ready to get out of the busi ness. In fact he has been out about a week or more. C. Gordon, who has been managing the show for Mr. Williford, is of the opinion that the show will not reopdVt for business again after closing Satur day night about 11 o’clock. Lack of sufficient business to justify the ex penses has been assigned as the rea son. It is not sure that Mr. Highsmith, who operates a theatre in Roberson villc will be interested, as it has once been suggested here. Nothing but street talk has been heard of the de sire of the management of the Wattts Theatre in Williamston assuming con trol of the theatre here. Those who have been operating the theatre here claim that no one can operate without losing money unless they can have a revenue of about $150 a week, thus averaging $25 a night, and one week only has the revenue exceeded this amount and that week it was $185. But since this good week the show has been operating with an income as low as $85 a week. This in no way j paid expenses and there has not been enough increase in business in any | week since the low week to even up. Figuring the building at a rental of $15 weekly; pictures at about $80 or ■more weekly for four changes; rental on the sound equipment at $15 a week; and incidental expenses at $15 a week, this would make it high, not includ ing the current for the lights and ma chines. Some have advanced the idea that the show’ operate on Friday and Sat urday nights of each week. It is not known whether this would be feasible or not. So anything can he expected unless outside interests are persuaded to take over the operation of the bus iness. Dr. Dan B. Mizelle Injured in Wreck Near Williamston -- Dr. Dan B. Mizelle, of Charlotte, is suffering from a broken leg and other injuries sustained in an automobile wreck near Williamston Tuesday night when a car in which he was rid ing crashed into a truck parked along the road. The automobile was badly damaged. Other occupants in the car also suf fered injuries. No one was in the truck. It was reported here that the accident was attributed to the fact that the prominent Charlotte dentist I did not see the parked truck that was j alleged to have been without lights, as j a fog had settled over the road. Avery County growers sold their first truck load of onions for this sea son last week. TWO-WEEK TERM SUPERIOR COURT BEGINS HERE 9TH -<$> Judge Daniels Will Hear Both Criminal and Civil Cases During Period -«, A score or more civil cases will be called along with the pressing crimi ! na! actions in Washington County Su [ perior Court that will convene here January 9 for two weeks, it was learned today from C.

The name of the writer is known to the editor but deleted here upon request. “Editor: We, the people of the Chap el Hill School District, want to call attention of the Washington County Board of Education that we built the Chapel Hill School Building by our own taxes. Not one penny came from the county. We paid a 45 cents extra tax to take care of this building. The county only placed the benches in it. "The young folks and teachers at different times gave parties and plays to make money for the purchase of a piano, teacher's desk and chairs. Now, where are these chairs and the piano? When the school was moved to town we had a surplus of $1,500 that was used by the hoard. Did another school have this? “If the county has never had any rent for the year that the building has been used as a dwelling, why was the building turned into a dwelling? The people here never wanted a family in it. Before the primary grades were moved to town we paid for our high school pupils to go to school in Ply mouth, and we are still paying taxes. "We think we are entitled to this building as we built it, and we do not have any public building in this community for our clubs or any other meeting that we may desire to have in a public building. Please consider and give us a fair deal.” Durham Farmers Curing Potatoes in Tobacco Barns Five tobacco curing barns were c< in erted into sweet potato storage houses in Durham County at a cost of $15 to $20 each and are filled with the new crop of potatoes. Return of $1.55 a Bird Is Secured in Calwell County Poultry in nine demonstration flocks on which recorders were kept in Caldwell County this season paid a net return above feed cost of $1.55 a bird.
