VOLUME XLV—NUMBER 38 Plymouth, Washington County, North Carolina, Friday, September 21, 1934 ESTABLISHED 1889 GIVE OUTLINE OF LENDING AGENCY GENERAL POLICY -<s Aims of Production Credit Association Briefly Reviewed -s> By J. E. HULL Secretary - Treasurer of Washington Production Credit Association For years farmers have been in need of a permanent and dependable source of short-term production credit that could be available at a low rate of in terest. Several systems have been tried and found wanting, either in that they proved fatal to the lending agency or that they failed to serve all the farmers who needed and were worthy of this kind of credit. Along with our present “new deal” came the estab lishment of the Farm Credit Admin istration in June, 1933. One of its chief duties was to furnish production .editr for short terms to all kinds of agricultural producers, on a safe and permanent basis. The district produc tion credit corporations were estab lished to handle this type of farm fi nance. The corporations further di vided their territories into smaller ter ritors, from one to seven counties, and set up what has become known as Pro duction Credit Associations. The lo cal association is composed of five counties, namely Beaufort, Hyde, Mar tin, Tyrrell, and Washington Counties, with its central office at Washington, N. C. Through this local association is handled all the applications for short term credit in all agricultural and live stock industries. This past year the local association loaned $126,727 to all types of agricultural and livestock pro ducers, with the exception of purely commercial poultry and range cattle feeeder loans. This amount was a bout one-fifth of the amount that is normally exepected to be loaned in the future. The usefulness and perma nence of the association will depend, however, upon the extension of credit on a sound basis. For that reason the requirements for this year have been very exacting. It is true that the local association is a real part of the Farm Credit Ad ministration. Many have the mistaken idea, however, that the money that the fanner receives in the way of a loan comes from the United States Treas ury. The money loaned is obtained by rediscounting farmers’ and stockmens’ notes with the Federal Intermediate Credit Banks, which depend for loan able funds primarily upon the sale of their debentures to the investing pub lic. If the Federal Intermediate Cred it Banks are to continue to make funds available to farmers and stockmen at low rates of interest, it is essential that the security behind such debentures be sound and that the loans be of a self liqui<ia,ting character, in order that the debentures may be sold on favor able terms. That is the main reason farmers are required to give a crop lien and chat tel mortgage on all the crops which they grow and all the chattel proper ty whicli they own. By this security being pledged the associations were able to grant loans after May IS at 5 per cent, inplace of the 6 per cent which they started with at the begin ning of the season. 1 he other main reason tor security being required is that the associations, as pointed out earlier, are to be of a permanent nature. To be permanent a financial institution must be success ful a loaning institution must be back- I e’d with adequate security of all its notes, in case anticipated incomes fail to materialize. The association directors and offi cers stand ready, at all times, to dis cuss any part of its system with any who might be interested. They will gladly receive any one who care for a more detailed discussion than is to be found in the press releases. It is j planned, however, that in the near f future the secretray-treasurer will pre- ' pare some releases on various aspects of the credit system, which now cov ers the entire United States, that are not only more detailed in subject mat ter, but more applicable to the farm- ' ing systems followed in this territory. One of these will be on the financing | of next year’s potato crop, and another t one on the recent inclusion of oyster ^ producers that are interested in pro duction credit. i I -» - - Ladies’ Aid Society of Creswell Holds Meet Creswell.—The ladies’ aid society met at the home of Mrs. J. E. Haire Tuesday at 2:30 o'clock. Scripture lesson and prayer were by Rev. M. L. Jernigan, pastor of the church. Dues collected amounted to $1.90.t Seven members were present. It was found that there were 69 birthday pennies on hand. Delegates were appointed 'to the Various auxiliary conventions. The October meeting will be at the home of Miss Martha Phelps, bruit cock tail was served. Mrs. D. H. Fur laugh is corresponding secretary of this organization. FARM NOTES By W. V. HAYS, County Agent v--J Corn and hog contract signers should keep a record of all hog sales and the name and address of the buyer. This information will be called for before all the payments are made. -% Tobacco sales cards may be pur chased at 5 cents per pound at the County Office by contract signers. These will be ordered from Raleigh. Give us the number of pounds need ed, and we will secure cards for same. ----- Do not permit tobacco to be sold on your sales card unless properly en dorsed at the county office to the seller. Cotton exemption certificates will probably be here by the first of next week. Notices will be sent out on arrival. Growers who sell seed cotton must get certificates stamped at the county office before they can be torn out of the book. Otherwise detached coupons will not be accepted. -® I ! I ! i Twelve cents will be loaned by the Government on cotton this year. It will be handled the same as the 10 cent loan in 1933. A twelve-cent loan will help the cotton price. Plans are under way for storing cotton in Ply mouth. The bank her wfill be glad to handle the paper for us | No tobacco farmer in this county i will tell you that the tobacco acreage reduction campaign has not been of J inestimable value. So with cotton, S corn, and hogs, and later peanuts. Now a few are considering ways to get around this agreement so as to plant a greater acreage next year. Some say, “My wife’s farm was not included in that contract,” or “What is to prevent my boy from renting that adjoining 10 acres for tobacco ” Fail ure to comply with a reduction con tract cancels the contract, calls for a return of all payments to the Govern ment and allows no exemption. Let’s not kill the goose that lays the golden egg, nor break faith with our neighbor—and our Government. -® METHODISTS TO BEGIN REVIVAL SEPTEMBER 26 Pastor Says Meeting Will Be Made Homecoming Occasion -® “A series of revival meetings will begin at the Methodist church in Ply mouth next Wednesday night, Sep tember 26, and a very cordial invita tion is extended to the people of Ply mouth to attend these services,” an nounced Rev. R. R. Grant, pastor, to day. “I am taking this as a means of im pressing upon the Methodist people of Plymouth that we are going to make this meeting a home coming oc casion. I mean by this homecoming that the church wants and expects ev ery Methodist in Plymouth to at tend the meeting—come to your church home. “The meeting will be conducted by the congregation with Zeb Vance Nor man leading the singing and the pas tor leading in other parts of the serv ice. We most cordially invite and request your presence and cooperation in this meeting,” concluded Mr. Grant -S Orthopedic Clinic To Be Held in Tarboro I The Tarboro Rotary Club will hold its orthopedic clinic in the Presby terian Sunday schools, Tarboro, on Monday, September 24, beginning at 1 o’clock p. m. The clinic will again ! be conducted by Dr. A. R. Shands, of Duke University, and he will be as sisted by members of the Tarboro Ro- | tary Club and the Rotary Anns. 1'his clinic was organized in June of this I year, and meets on Monday before the . last Tuesday in each month. For the three months it has been in operation it has average more than 50 patients per clinic. The club is anxious for all indigent cripples in the counties of Martin, Washington, Tyrrell, Bertie, North ampton, Hertford, Halifax, and Edge combe counties, without regard to col or, creed, or age, to avail themselves of this opportunity, and requests all physicians, welfare departments, civic clubs, and others who may know of cases needing orthopedic attention to see that they are notified and provided with the transportation facilities to at tend the clinic on September 24. -« Yadkin County Cow Sets New Production Records -• A pure bred Guernsey cow, Hart zell’s Gertrude’s Verarose, owned by M. F. Shore, of Yadkin County, has just made a new State record by pro ducing 945.6 pounds of butterfat and 16,078.5 pounds of milk in one year and becomes the new State Guernsey champion in class “A”. COUNTY BUYS IN PROPERTY SOLD AT TAX AUCTION -cf Few Property Owners Have Redeemed Tax Liens Held by County -* Only a very few have been success ful in redeeming their property which was sold at the Washington County courthouse door in Plymouth on the first Monday in September, for 1933 delinquent taxes, it was learned today from J. C. Swain, accountant. Practically all of the property was purchased by the county at the sale. Two small lots were bid in by Ron ald Gaylord, an attorney for a couple of colored clients. The exact amount of these was not learned, but they were very small. Unless redemption is made of the real estate the county or other pur chaser will have the right of foreclos ure of sale by a civil action after the expiration of one year from Septem ber 3, 1934. On the first Monday property was sold for $63,354.80, due by 1,151 tax payers. Some, of course, bad one or more tracts of land in their possession. Plymouth Township led all of the oth ers in unpaid taxes at the time of the sale, but this might not be so at the present. j Sheriff J. K. Reid and Mr. Swain i are of the opinion that taxes from now j on will be paid more regularly and ^ore promptly. Tobacco is selling at . an average of over 25 cents a pound, while cotton has climbed to 12 cents and peanuts are expected to be 3 or 4 l cents pounad by marketing time. In fact, just before and after the tax sale money from tobacco growers be ; gan to come into the county from tax I payers. Next will be cotton in Oc ' tober and November. Peanuts will be 1 on the market about this time also. No comparative figures were avail able, but it was agred that the amount received for taxes this year at this time exceeds that of the same month in 1933. Suits are being instituted for the foreclosure and final sale of property under tax liens held for the year of 1930 and 1931, and under the law these suits will be advertised in October for sale on the first Monday in Novem ber. Mr. Swain urges all who are de linquent on these taxes to pay them so they will not lose their homes.

Hatfield, local merchant, just as the vehicle had crossed the Virginia line en route to New York City. The accident occurred last week when the car swerved from its path while rounding a curve. Mrs. Hatfield suffered a fractured arm, a dislocated shoulder, and minor cuts. Others in the car beside Mr. Hat field, who received minor cuts and bruises were their two daughters, Mrs. Hal Reynolds and Miss Louise Hatfield; one son, Billy; and Mrs. Sam Woodley. Can’t Find Doctor—So Undertaker Binds Injury -® It would seem that W. E. (Jack) , Weede thinks the second choice to ,i [physician is an undertaker. Last week Mr. Weede with Rev. R. I R. Grant and others, was fishing in ! the bay at Swan Quarter. While reel - j ing in a denizen of the deep the rod ■slipped from the hand of Mr. Grant and hit Weede on the forehead over an eye. The blow stunned the vic tim. Mr. Grant became uneasy and rushed Mr. Weede to Swan Quarter, where they found the doctor was absent, and so a nearby undertaker bandaged the wound. He is in good condition now' SUNDAY SCHOOL GROUP TO MEET SEPTEMBER 23 —®— Meeting Will Be Held At the Union Chapel Free Will Baptist Church -« The Plymouth Town-hip Sunday School Association will hold its con vention at the Union Chapel Free Will Baptist Church on the Long Acre Road at 2:45 o’clock in the aft ernoon on the fourth Sunday, Septem ber 23, it was announced today by Mrs. W. H. Harrison, secretary. The principal address of the after noon is scnenuied to De made by \\. L. Whitley, local attorney and well known church speaker. Included in the program also is a speech by W. F. Winslow, superintendent of the Grace Episcopal Sunday School. It is hoped that Mayor Gilbert Davis can be present and lead the de votional service. J. Richard Carr, superintendent of the Baptist Sun day School, will sing some specia' numbers. Rev. Richard Lucas is ex pected to pronounce the benediction. In additoin to the special music by Mr. Carr there will be a duet by two small girls and selections by a male quartet of the Union Chapel Church. There will be five minute talks from representatives of the following Sun day schools: Union Chapel, Chris tian Hope, Mt. Olive F. W. B. Mehto 1 dist, Baptist, Christian and Episco pal. Business matters that are to be tak ! en up include the meeting dates for next fiscal year, the election of of ficers, checking reports of the Sunday schools and kindred activities. The officials of the convention and others urge everyone possible to at tend. Routine activities will be dis pensed in such haste that it is thought the convention will last less than two hours. Mrs. Harrison especially urges the adults and children to attend that go to Sunday school any where and the officers of the various Sunday schools will find interesting information. -9. 15-Year-Old Chapel Hill Boy Taken To Hospital j Frank Garrett, 15-year-old son of i Mr. and Mrs. Sam Garrett, of the i Chapel Hill community near Plymouth was taken to the Tayloe Hospital in Washington Monday for treatment of a very serious ailment. While at play the lad bruised his right shoulder at the top. The injury became serious enough so that it flood ed his system with infection. His condition became so grave that he was moved to a hospital. His blood supply has been low, thus causing him to be much weaker. Monday at the hospital, out of a dozen offering their blood for him only that of his mother and Miss Ra chel Allen would match. He is still in a serious condition, but he is thought to be improving slowly. -*-— Recommend Fertilizers For Winter Hay Crops -®—— For growing winter hay crops in this section of the State, 400 pounds of an 4-8-4 fertilizer is recommended. These fertilizers may be supplemented with a top dressing of from 50 to 100 pounds of quick acting ifltogenous fer tilizer such as nitrate of soda or sul phate of ammonia applied about the first of March. A good coat of stable manure may be applied dur ing the fall and winter instead of the commercial fertilizer and will give good results. -« Catawba Farmers Secured Four Cuttings of Alfalfa j ——-<$ Catawha County farmers cut les pedeza hay this season front the tall est growth ever recorded in the coun ty. They also secured four cuttings from their alfalfa fields. -$ Profitable To Inoculate Austrian Winter Peas Austrian winter peas make better growth where the seed are inoculated and the soil is given an application of ground limestone. ATTENDANCE AT LOCAL SCHOOLS OVER 500 DAILY ——<# Congested Conditions Pre vail; Organization of Clubs Under Way -9 With an enrollment of 523 white : pupils in the Plymouth schools and an average attendance of near 500 pu pils for the first two weeks, the schools are somewhat congested. However, seats have been added to accommodate students. The fourth grade has an enrollment of 62 pupils with just one teacher. The best instruction could not be expected in such a situation, and the only rem edy would be the granting by the state of an additional teacher. At the high school the organization of clubs is well under way, with a band of 12 members, under the direc tion of Mr. McDonald already prac ticing, and a glee club, headed by Miss Lucille Parker and Mrs. Laura John ' son, ready to begin work. Plans are being made for Boy Scouts and a dra matic club, which will be the next or ganized, according to the principal. The seventh grade is beginning its work on a circus, which will be pre sented soon in the gymnasium. All animals are going to be constructed by tlie boys and girls of that room. The lower grades, too, are planning operettas to raise money for the pur chase of basal texts which the teach ers hope to place in all primary grades this year. If the school patrons back these projects sufficiently, it will possibly mean quite a saving for the parents, who would otherwise be called upon to buy these books outright. The state department is very urgent in its demand that state-adopted books be used, which, due to the depression, has not been done in the local schools. -<S> RAILROAD PAYS $50 DAMAGES TO BALL PLAYERS —— Near Accident Believed To Have Caused Locals To Lose Place In League Blame for Plymouth’s failure to an nex the second-half title in the Albe marle League may he placed on the shoulders of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company and they be ask ed to pay for their obstructions in solid cash. Manager P. YV. Brown of the club feels that now the railroad company has admitted that it was careless in guarding a crossing in Williamston on July 19, when Preston Chappel and Umpire Frazier were injured in leaping from a car apparently headed into the train, as the company has paid damages to the young men. j Chappell, shortstop and second base-man, injured a foot and Frazier suffered minor injuries. A represen tative from the railroad company was in Plymouth this week and handed to the boys $50 each and the fees for the plaintiffs’ attorneys. The near serious accident occurred at a blind crossing in Williamston while the players were en route to Edenton. They dropped the after noon contest on that day after nine straight victories. Manager Brown thinks that the accident to Chappell robbed him of a very valuable player for about two weeks when his need was greatest. In view of the fact that the club j concluded the season with a $000 deti- | city some the fans feel that some 1 money to apply on this could be se- ! cured from the railroad company and ' help wipe out these debts. -. - Roper Mission Society Holds Meeting Monday , I Roper.—Mesdames J. K. Singleton and B. B. Spencer entertained the Roper Circuit Missionary Society on Monday at the home of the former. ‘Deaconnesses in Rural Communities” was the topic for the month. Com ments on the topic’ were made by Mrs. C. L. Walker. Mesdames A. R. Hooker and F. L). Wilson read of some active experi ences of deaconnesses in mining com munities.

Missionary study and cottage prayer meeting will be held Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons at 2 o’clock at die homes of Mesdames Jack McAl lister and F. D. Wilson, respectively. -® Macon County Farmers Make Inspection Tours -® Eighty automobiles filled with far mers and other business men made a tour of Macon County farms last week to study the improved practices being promoted by the farm agent. -- I TOWN TAX RATE V The 1934 tax rate for the town of Plymouth will be $1.80 on the $100, as was the rate last year. This rate is divided into two di visions, that of general expense, used in keeping up the town, which is 90 cents, and debt serv ice, also 90 cents. An audit is being made of the books at the present. As soon as this is completed, Clerk M. W. Spruill will release to the press full statistics of the budget and other financial facts. REEMPLOYMENT OFFICE CLOSED LAST SATURDAY -«■ Manager Ausbon Reviews Work Done By Office In This District ; Effective Saturday, September 15th, the local office of the National Re employment Service was closed due | to the need of further drastic reduc tion of personnel in the service I throughout the State. On April 12th j the first reduction took effect which : made Plymouth the district headquar I ters for Washington. Martin, Bertie and Tyrrell Counties. This last re i duction will make Edenton district headquarters for twelve counties of which Washington will be a part, and Mr. Floyd I. White, of Edenton, will be district manager. The service will be rendered all unemployed from this county through Mr. White, who will be glad to cooperate with them in any manner possible. This office was opened November 27th, 1933, with Mr. Luther R. Aus bon as manager, Mr. Fred Blount as interviewer, and Mrs. Mamie V. Blount as clerk and stenographer. During its existence there have been 1,356 unemployed registered at the of fice consisting of 607 white men, 116 white women, 596 colored men and 37 colored women. Of this number jobs were found for 752 men and 56 wo men. It is regretted by the State Direc tor the necessity of closing the local office, but pressure from the National Director has made it necessary. -- Darden Family In Reunion At Home of Mrs. Darden -® I here were 48 relatives present at tfie annual reunion held at the old home place on the Long Acre Road, near here, Sunday when the Darden clan gathered there with their mother, Mrs. Mary V. Darden. All were present except three grand ■children who were unable to attend. There was no special program, but the old folks gathered on the lawn and porch to talk over old times while the children romped and played. Dinner was served to the guests in picnic style. Children of Mrs. Darden are well known figures in Washington County and include the following, all of this county: M. C. Darden, P. Id. Darden, Mrs. Hildah Gurganus, A. T. Darden Mrs. C. P. Williams, J W. Darden, Mrs. J. I*. Allen and S. F. Darden. Legion Auxiliary To Be Organized October 5th -® Below are some notes on the Amer ican Legion ami auxiliary as submit ted by J. B. McNair, publicy officer: All ladies eligible for the auxiliary are urged to meet in the hall on the first hriday, October 5, at 3 p. m., for the purpose of organizing. Wives, mothers, and sweethearts of legion naires are urged to be present. A dance will be held every Frida\ night for the benefit of the legion. A small charge will he made. This is to be used iu defraying expenses for some needed heating equipment. Keys will be made and loaned to each metnbr for the deposit of a small ' sum to be refunded in case a member leaves or ceases to be affiliated with the organization. J. C. Swain, county accountant, re signed as adjutant on account of press ing duties, and W. V. Hays, farm agent, was elected in his place. Dr. W, T. Gibson, of Roper, was named chaplain to succeed J. F. Leary who resigned. -- Quality Is Factor In Culling Poultry Flock -® In saving layers this coming season a great deal will depend upon the quality of the birds when going out of lay, but the late moulters in good weight and whose production has been up to standard will be profitable. These hens will have a decreased pro duction of approximately 25 percent but, with egg prices going up, a good hen should pay a profit. If there is not sufficient housing space, hopper space and waterers none of the hens should be saved as they would cause over-crowding and lessen productio t of all birds. LESS THAN 40 PER CENT OF COUNTY TOBACCCO SOLD 700,000 Pounds Produced in County This Year; To Be Worth $200,000 Less than 40 per cent of teh tobacco grown in Washington County this j year ha^ been sold, according to an i estimate made by VV. V Hays, farm | agent, today. j Close to 700 acres of the golden jWeed was grown in this county this year and it is expected that the yield , would be close to 700,000 pounds to be sold. Less than 300,000 pounds of the weed has been sold to date. At an average of 25 cents a pound this means that close to $75,000 has been paid to growers. Much of this money went to pay crop production loans and to pay land lords for rental nad other such neces sities and that now the remainder, or most of it. will be used to purchase , the supplies anil needs of the growers vvho have worked the season through !and are no"- reaping the reward for 1 their labor. | It has been figured that close to I $200,000 would be paid to the tobacco ! growers this year for the weed in this county. Mr. Hays seems to think that the most of the growers here this year will average close to 30 cents when they get to putting their best grades on the market. So far the average has been, accord ing to Mr. Hays’ opinion, close to 25 cents. This is for lugs and tips. In the next few weeks the markets will be getting the bst grades from here, and the price average as a rule (not the best nor the worst) from Wash ington County will amount to around 30 cents at current levels. Figures taken from reliable statistics show that Montgomery County last year had about the same poundage as \\ ashington this year. They secured from la>t year’' low average about $75,000, while in 1934 the price is more than doubled, and this supports the claim that $200,000 worth of tobacco is grown in this county. Last year in the depression money order houses sold merchandise in this county amounting to more than $80, 000, while the local merchants were barely able to eke out expenses. Some predict this amount will be doubled I this year unless business is pushed by .the local merchants, j The above amount does not in any jWay mention the amount spent per jsonally by the residents of this coun ty in other towns or states. CIRCUS TO SHOW HERE ON MONDAY -s Almond and Conley Circus To Exhibit for One Day Only -® Although the big Almond and Con ley circus, which will exhibit in Ply mouth for one day only, Monday, September 24, carries a profusion of aerialists, acrobats, trained horses, ponies, dogs, wild animals and mon keys, the clown department has not been overlooked and the promise that there will be plenty of fun for old and young alike. Under the direction of "Brownie” Silkerlake, producing clown, the fun de partment of the Almond and Conley circus is in capable hands and the many new funny features In "Clown alley” have attracted unusual atten tion this season. The big free street parade at noon will be the mecca of sightseers from far and wide. The colorful procession will rival the panoplied processions of the kings of old and will be participat ed in by people from many lands and climes. Two performances will be given, at 2 and 8 p. m., the doors opening one hour earlier to give opportunity to in spect the menagerie and big circus side shows. Admission charges have been reduced especially for this engage ment. 1 he big show will arrive in the early hours of dawn, on board its special motorized train of 50 huge motor trucks and the work of unloading ami erecting the huge tents will begin. -- Don G. Davis Plans To Open Jewelry Shop Here Don G. Davis, of Richmond, was in Plymouth this week arranging for the opening of a jewelry shop here some where around the first of October. Mr. Davis was here from 1918 to 1926 operating a jewelry store. He comes back here from Richmond, where he has been employed in the jewelry store of Barn's, Incorporated, for the last five years.
