VERDICT IS SET ASIDE BY JUDGE IN CIVIL ACTION Twiddy-Tarkenton Case Is Expected To Go To Supreme Court -® Indication.-, are now that the hard fought Kgal differences between B. F. Twiddy and J. C. Tarkenton will go to the Supreme Court of North Carolina as the result of Judge Wal ter L. Small setting aside the verdict in Washington County Superior Court here last week. A jury rendered a verdict in favor of Mr. Twiddy after being out only a short time and then the action of the jury was set aside by Judge Small, who ordered a compulsory referee hearing in the matter. As to who will hear the case is not known. This case came up for trial in the January term, hut the presiding jurist ordered a mistrial after the jury failed to agree on a verdict. And then a new trial was ordered, and thus it came up among the preferred cases in the April term last week. The suit was brought by counsel for Mr. Twiddy, who sought to re strain the foreclosure of a mortgage and to declare mortgage canceled on the records as the result of a trans action some years ago in which Mr. Twiddy purchased some machinery from Mr. Tarkenton. Mr. Twiddy contended that he turned the machinery back to Mr. Tarkenton and that he in turn should have returned to him certain mort gage papers as promised, but that he failed to return the papers and recent ly sold the machinery at public sale. Counsel in the case include Van B. Martin and W. M. Darden wi'h Zeb Vance Norman appearing in the case the last time for Mr. Twiddy, while W. L. Whitley has represented Mr. Tarkenton throughout the entire pro ceedings.

TOTAL SPENT BYi CWA HERE $39,929 Amount Was Distributed Over Period of Four Winter Months The total payroll in Washington County during the tenure of the Civil Works Administration was $39,929.19, it was learned today from Mrs. Thos. L. O’Berry, state administrator. This total does not include expen- j ditures for materials, and it is known i that the amount for materials by the 1 time all of the approved projects are ! completed will amount to a good many | thousands of dollars. This payroll was distributed over , four months, an average of close to : $10,000 a month. The largest amount ol the 100 counties was in Guilford, I which received $563,481.27, while the smallest went to Currituck, which re ceived $21 ,(>17.62. These facts reveal the generosity to Washington County in allocating funds for payrolls, as Perquimans, with a population about the same as Washington, spent only $22,938.35. Martin, a much larger county, receiv ed $63,210.75 in tunds, while Tyrrell, | with a population of about 6,000, was allowed $34,508.78. County Well Represented At District Federation Last week the annual district meet- ! ing of home demonstration clubs was held at Washington. The meeting opened at 10:3b in the Turnage The atre, with Mrs. J. H. Tankard presid ing. The women were very fortunate in having for their guest speakers Mr. l'rank Smethurst, managing editor of the News and Observer, and Dr. Wells professor of botany at State College. Mr. Smethurst gave us a picture of ourselves here in North Carolina with the rapid changing of attitudes, etc. Dr. Wells has a wonderful lecture on the wild flowers of North Carolina with illustrations, which are most in teresting. I his was thoroughly en joyed by the women. All of us should know more about this subject and how to use them in beautifying our home surroundings. \\ ashington County can boast of having more women at the meeting than any county except the hostess county, which was Beaufort. They were at home, and we knew they would be there in large numbers. The following clubs were represented and totaled 84 women in attendance from them: Alba, Cool Springs, Chapel Hill, Wenona, Swains, Beech Grove, Creswell, Pleasant Grove, and Albe marle. You can see that more than one attended from each club. Mrs. Joe Davenport, of Pleasant Grove, drove h r big truck and carried 16. This was an enjoyable trip.

Evelyn Arps, of, the Plymouth club, tap danced, which added much to the program. Greetings were brought to the girls from the women’s club by Mrs. \V. H. Harrison, president of the women’s county council. Dorothy Ainsley, of the Criswell club, delighted the en tire audience with her guitar and sing ing. Mollic Sawyer, of the Creswell I freshman-sophomore club, was crown ed queen of health for tlw v ..tire coun ty'. She was preceded to the throne by Helen Phelps, Ellen Tarkenton, I. ala Ruth Chesson, Lucille Lewis, Dora Tarkenton, and Georgia Collins, of the Roper club, who were dressed n organdy evening dresses of varied1 colors. Elsie Liverman, of the Ply-1 nout 11 Club, carried the crown, while Lucille Lewis crowned the queen. This was very effective. After a p r od of group singing, announcements were made by the home agent, and then a bountiful dinner was spread in picnic style by the girls. This was' >nc of the most enjoyable features of the day. i After lunch the group again a-sem bled in the courtroom to be enter tained by Miss Ruth Current, front the Extension Staff at Raleigh, in stunts, songs, and lecturing. We were ! also fortunate to have Miss Martha i Layton, assistant state 4-H club lead er in the State of Vermont, to tell us of the work in Vermont. This was most interesting.

While the export value of many such articles was relatively small, the aggregate value of all of them dae a large con tribution to the $1,674,975,00 export trade of the United States for the year. Apples in boxes, the -tatistics show, were sold abroad during the year to a value of $8,319,602. American grown oranges were tavored in many foreign markets during the twelve month period, resulting in export sales reaching a value of $6,064,550. Ameri can cigarettes were accorded much favor overseas during the year, with sales abroad totaling $4,894,902. Lo cally grown grapefruit was received favorably in certain world markets, the value of the year's foreign ship ments being recorded at $2,180,818. Canned asparagus, valued at $1,589, 084, is recorded as an item of United States export trade for 1933. HOPE TO MAKE IRISH POTATOES BASIC PRODUCT Viewed With Approval by Farmers of Washington, Tyrrell Counties -$> Efforts of Congressman Lindsay Warren to make irisli potatoes a basic commodity under the National Agri cultural Adjustment Act is viewed with approval by many of the farm ers in Washington and Tyrrel Coun ties. Potato farmers this year are liable to sustain a heavy loss, according to Mr. Warren, who ascribes increased acreage and the contract system as the cause of it, and for the reason that “legislation is much desired by the growers’’ Mr. Warren is working on the matter. Last week Mr. Warren had a con ference with Senator Harry F. Byrd, of Virginia, with this view in mind. And it was proposed for Senator Byrd to tack potatoes on as a “rider’' to the sugar bill, now pending in the Senate. Under the rules of the National House of Representatives, no amend ments could be offered to the sugar rule, but no such rule prevails in the Senate, and such an amendment will be in order. While making potatoes a basic com modity would not affect the crop this year, Mr. Warren staled that he be lieved “such action was the only hope for potato growers in the future.” Following a conference with A. E. Mercker, a representative of the Fed eral Department of Agriculture, Mr. Warren >has turned over all available data on the matter to Senator Byrd, and it is thought that the Virginia Senator would do all he could to get the act through. CRESWELL GIRL HEALTH QUEEN Molly Sawyer To Represent County in District Contest Every spring there is a keen inter est shown in the 4-11 health contest, which is held .Mutually hy the 4-H clubs. There are six clubs in the count... with i ,oial >*m '•! = !.ip of 209 go's.

Girls have been fighting the bad hab it of eating finger nails and in general have been trying to improve in groom mg In order to participate, one must be a 4-H club member in good standing and be at least 14 years of age. Some of the girls could not enter for this reason. Hollow teeth prevented somt who were fine specimens from enter ing, badly shaped teeth kept others out. However, all wire weighed, meas ured, and teeth and hands (finger nails, etc.) examined by the agent in the beginning. Those having the best standing were chosen to represent their respective clubs.

FUTURE LOANS OF LAND BANK TO BE IN BONDS -$ Secretary of County Organ-' ization Explains Recent Change in Policy H. J. Furbee, secretary-treasurer of the We norm National Farm Loan association, received word re cently from Win. I. Myers, Governor of the Farm Credit Administration, Washington, D. C., that Federal land bank loans and land bank commis sioners loans will be made in the fu ture through the Federal land bank in bonds of the Federal Farm Mort gage Corporation, which bonds are guaranteed by the United States Gov ernment both as to principal and in terest. T hcse bonds will take the place of the cash distribution in the disburse ment of the unclosed loans previously approved by the Federal land banks. Ihe bonds of the Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation, according to the statement by Governor Myers, will have behind them not only the unconditional guarantee of the Fed eral Government as to both principal and interest, and the capital of the Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation amounting to about $200,000,000, but also the consolidated bonds of the Federal land banks issued in exchange for the bonds of the Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation and the mort gages accepted by the land bank commissioner as security for loans. Governor Myers assured Secretary Furbee that the Federal Farm Mort gage Corporation bonds will be an attractive investment. “They will be as readily marketable as bonds of the United States Government and they will be quoted in all of the prin cipal markets,” he continued. “Hold ers who have to dispose of these bonds shall not sell them without first ascertaining their real market value.” I ho Governor particularly stressed the fact that country bankers prob ably will be large investors in these securities since the creditors of far mers who are being refinanced may not all be in the position where they can hold the bonds so acquired and will find it necessary to sell them. The secretary states that these bonds, which will be tendered to farmers creditors in payment of the refinanced indebtedness, are “exempt front all Federal, State, municipal and local taxation, except surtaxes and estate, inheritance and gift taxes. They are lawful security for fifteen day borrowings by member banks of the Federal Reserve system. They are also lawful investments for all trust, public and fiduciary funds of which the deposit or investment is under the authority or control of the Government. The payments of the interest on these bonds and the re payment of their principal arc guar anteed by the United States, which means that if the Federal Farm Mort gage Corporation should ever be un able to meet the payments on the fyonds, the Treasury will assume such payments. “These bonds will be issued in de nominations of $100, $500, and $1,000. However, amounts less than $100 will he disbursed in cash. For example, a loan of $965 would be made in a $500 bond, four $100 bonds and the rest in cash. In addition, to provide for certain debts, such as taxes which -cannot be paid in bonds, cash covering the required amounts will be provided. “Loans which have been applied for and approved, but on which the cash has not been paid out, as well as those approved by the bank in the future, will be financed on the above basis. This arrangement in no way disturbs or alters the other provis ions of the loans. The interest rate on rn w loans will continue to be 4 1-2 per cent for the emergency period when made through a national farm loan association and 5 percent when made directly by the bank.” Wilson Farmers Bought 15,000 Pounds Lespedeza Wilson County farmers have pur chased 15,000 pounds of lespedeza seed cooperatively this season. Club Girls Makes $220 On Total of 102 Turkeys Ruby Travis, a 4-H club girl of Ca tawba County, raised 102 turkeys from 6 hens last year to secure a gross in come of $220 from the birds. FARMERS IN THIS COUNTY TO GET $3,492.12 PAYMENT -- Due Producers of Cotton As Result of Signing Contracts -® Washington County farmers have been paid $3,492.12 in benefit pay ments for reducing their cotton crop under the National Farm Administra tion’s Agricultural Adjustment pro gram, it was learned today from Comp troller John B. Payne, of Washing ton, D. C. In 1932 there was a total of 1,912 acres of cotton planted in this coun ty, while in 1933 there was an increase to 2,738 acres. However, it is pre dicted as the result of the adjustment program by the federal government that this number will be reduced to about 1,700 acres for 1934. Counting it at about $14 an acre for rental and the bonus that will be added on the other cotton that is to be harvested by those who are con sistent and loyal to their agreements to curb reduction, there should be somewhere about 4,000 paid to this county. J he A. G. \\ alker Estate in the Scuppernong section is possibly the largest grower of the staple in this county, and it is understood that their acreage reduction this year called for about 100 acres less than last year, which cuts them down to about 200 acres in cultivation. Beginning in 1925 the following yearly number of running bales gin ned tells the story of the rise and fall of the interest in cotton in the coun ty: 1,746, 1,265, 1,144, 1,796, 864, 1,251, 1.215, 985, 909, and 1,767 bales ginned in 1955. Tlie above separate groups of figures give the annual gin totals in bales. It is to be noted that in the general trend of cotton statistics that the trade’s high figure of 1,746 bales in 1925 is exceeded by that of 1,767 bales for 1955, and that unless something is done low prices are inevitable for 1954. However, the regimentation of the crop by the Federal government for the 1954 season is destined to reduce the crop in general as well as in this county, and it appears now that de spite the heavy yields of 1955 there will be a considerable less in 1954, even estimated at 1,600 bales for this year in Washington County. Adverse weather conditions may al so hinder the yield and cause much less to be on the market than was at first predicted, even under the adjust ment arrangement. INSTALL SHOE SHINE MACHINE Large Number of People See New Invention Here This Week 1 he first model of the shoe shining device invented and patented by Moye tv. Spruill has arrived and is now lo cated in the Brinkley building next to the post office in the quarters for merly occupied by W. T. Nurney Fu neral Parlor. A large number of people have been Steadily trouping in to see the new machine, first of its kind ever to shine shoes automatically for the public. The first machine cost upwards of $1,100, but subsequent ones will cost much less. It is being operated to ascertain the flaws in the device. As quickly as they are detected they will be correct ed, and it is hoped by the Automatic Shoe Shines, Inc., that the device will soon be yielding an income. —--<?> Young Farmers’ Clubs Enter Growing Contest -® Roper and Creswell chapters of the Young Tar Heel Farmers Clubs of North Carolina are anticipating con ducting a chapter-growing contest.
