L. (Libby; Ward, of New Bern, speaker of the House of Representatives, who made the principal address. The speaker used tabulations of the votes in the last two gubernatorial electorial elections to show the laxity of the Democratic voters in exercis ing their privilege of sufferage and called attention to the fact that there was a need for the young and old Democrats alike to begin to organize for the next campaign. Mr. ward turtner pointed out tnat although there were only about 50 delegates from the 14 counties in this district present, that his talk would be informal about the strength of the party and the laxity of the compla cent Democrats who would not vote or manifested indifference to voting. Discussing the fact that the rally was in honor of Thomas Jefferson’s birthday, the speaker pointed out that Mr. Jefferson penned the Declaration of Independence at the age of 33, to show that he was a young Democrat. In pointing out that North Caro lina in 40 years had progressed from a backward State to one of the most progressive, he mentioned that the legislature appropriated $100,000 for schools for a year in Charles B.

Plants Not To Adopt Daylight Saving Time Construction Work At Pulp Mill Cited As Chief Reason —®— Standard Time To Be Used in All Industries of Section This Summer -<& Daylight saving time will not be observed in Plymouth this summer, as was the case in some of the indus tries last, it was learned today from a canvass of officials of the local plants, as well as the town and civic organizations. Daylight saving time in many of the northern industrial centers becomes effective next Sun day, and practically all radio chain programs will be moved up one hour earlier effective that day. The North Carolina Pulp Company plant here was operated on the day light saving plan last year, but Mr. O. H. Cox, general manager, said this week that the concern would not ob serve the advanced time this year be cause of the construction work on the additions to be built there, which is expected to get underway within a few weeks. Operation of the plant on daylight saving time and the con struction work on eastern standard time would cause considerable con fusion, it was stated. E. F. Still, president and general manager of the Plymouth Box and Panel Company, said his organiza tion would continue to operate on standard time, as has been the case for years. Mayor B. G. Campbell said the town officials had not been approach ed about the matter, but that they would cooperate with the industries in every way possible if requested to do so. J. R. Manning, president of the Plymouth Merchants Association, was of the opinion that since all the in dustries would be conducted on stan dard time that nothing would be done by the business houses to move up the time for opening and closing. Mr. Cox said that the pulp plant would very likely go back to using daylight saving time next year, after the construction work is complete and probability of confusion from that source is eliminated.

W. R. Hampton, the owner, has un til May 15 to fish, and he plans to continue operations, although the hauls this season have proven very disappointing so far, he said. -® County Cucumber Crop Reported To Be Excellent 0 Cucumber stands in Washington County are reported very good this year by P. H. Roberts, jr„ manager of the C. C. Lang & Son pickle plant here, who has visited about 80 per cent of the farmers who are cooperat ing with his company in growing the cucumbers. Mr. Roberts said the acreage planted was reduced from 700 to 600 before the farmers began their work. All the producers reported they had good stands and that the yield was expected to be good.
