C, MUSTBOILLEI) Burley Tobacco Income To Be $200 Less Per Farm For 1955 Crop Farmers of MadisonCounty will recerve about ?700,000 less income, in 1955 from burley tobacco than they did for their 1954 crop! This figure represents an average of about $200 per farm. The above representation is not the true item represented. The true representative items are as follows: food, clothing, Farm improvements, educational opportunities, home im provements, lack of prosperity for business, savings and financial sup port for religious and social activi ties. In short' it -amounts to $200 less money available to support a standard of living. What are we going to do about this situation? To answer this question it is first important to know who is going to be interested in doing anything about it! The answer shoul be every farmer, business firm, agency, or ganization, family, school teacher, lawyer, doctor: in start, everybody in our county. Many of the above may feel. "Oh, no: that's not my responsibility. I'll do my job nd let the farmer do his." To answer this 1 would say this is an agricul tural county and the county will prosper or stagnate as and in direct relationship with the farmer. Farm ers support every activity in Mad ison Oountv with the' possible excep tion of three manulaoturing firms, end they would gain by tm pros perity in tttie county. i Therefore, ' No one person in this county of ours has the anejgfer to this $700,000 question. Many people will be able to contribute part of the answer and the parts added together will build up the entire amount. Let's seek this answer put it to work let's get out of this hole and ad vance. Let us all contribute our efforts to make Madison County the greatest place to live in North Car olina.

JUNE 16, SWAIN DECLINES TO MAKE PUBLIC VOTE LETTERS Bailey Willing To Release Exchange on Madison Probe Letters exchanged by State Dis- tnct Solicitor Robert S. Swain and U. S. District Attorney James M. Baley Jr., concerning investigations of alleged election irregularities in Madison County stayed in the file caibinots when Baley said he was willing for them to be released bat I Swain declined. Swain said that he felt publishing of his letter to Baley concerning Federal cooperation in a Madison grand jury investigation and Baley's reply would "serve no pood purpose, but would just keep the situation in a turmoil". On May 30, Swain said during the opening of the criminal term of Superior Court in Marshall that the investigation of reported election irregularities in Madison was in complete. He claimed a "lack of co operation" on the part of Baley as the reason for the delay. Swain said at the time that Baley had refused to permit use of evi dence or information of election ir regularities which his office had secured. WILLING TO RELEASE Baley had told the Citizen that he would be willing to release the let ters for publication if Swain was willing. "I believe my letter to Swain made plain the government's position," Baley said. The;- Madison County Superior 3 lor ig an election. '.

Bur nette recently when asked about the drive for funds for library service for Mtodison County. "Wre must have at least $3,000 by the end of June," she added. Mrs. Burnette and her workers are trying to solicit funds to start li bmiy service for the county, one of the three counties in the state which does not have a library. (The other two counties are Alexander and Jones. ) The need for library service has long been felt in Madison County. Several attempts have been made to secure it but never got any farther than an unsuccessful request to pre vious county connmissioners. The newly formed Friends of the Library appeared before the present county commissioners who expressed favor for the idea, but had no funds available for such service. However, they said they were will ing to appoint trustees and do other necessary legal work if the group and other Madison County citizens wanted service badly enough to so licit the 3,000 to match state funds. They promised either to provide, for it in the budget a year hence or submit the matter to a vote of the people, if the group could sponsor the first year's service financially. Officers of the Friends of the Li brary are Mrs. Walter Ramsey of Marshall, president; Mrs. M. P. Zu ver of Hot Springs, vice president; Mrs. Dorothy Huff of Mars Hill, secretary; and Mrs. fctnet pwnmi - . - ,ie of Marshall, treasurer; - , Members of the board of' trust are Mrs. Dorothy B.
