(One Day Nearer Victory) TIIUR$Dy wn Section Two Page 6 THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER Capital Letters By THOMPSON GREENWOOD Commissioned $10 Priming of tobacco is vir tually complete in some sections of the State, and is well under way throughout Eastern North Carolina. Whether you grow to bacco or not, you may be interest ed in knowing that farm laborers in many counties have formed air tight little unions and are drawing as high as $1 per hour for working iti tobacco. That's $10 a day any way you look at it at this time of year. This wage is not the average, it's the top so far. The average daily wage this season is around $5.50. In Yadkin County 20 years ago the best wage for the farmer who could tell at a split second if leaves were ready to come off I was it. 1 lus wage ranged down ward to 75 cents for the boys whose voices were changing, for those who were gradually being promoted from the "handing up" stage in the shade at the edge of the field to that of the man who moved with the sled. know this themselves if they were better acquainted with Cherry and Scott. CAMPAIGNS Failure of Gov ernor Gregg Cherry to reappoint .fudge Hichard fivllartl Dixon of Chowan County to the Superior I Court bench and Agriculture Com missioner Kerr Scott's decision to discharge Gid (Bill a Day) Bos wood of Currituck County as feed and seed inspector with the State Department of Agriculture arc causing some little excitement in Northeastern North Carolina. They are both waging active campaigns to keep their respective positions, getting county commissioners to pass resolutions and having lead ing politicians throughout the State to write letters in their be half. Men don't seem to have the pride they once possessed. The drives these men are conducting to remain in oflice are cheapening them in the eyes of many and will do them no good in later days - and no good now.

Smith's Cut-Rate Drug Store JULY 4 In Fastern North Caro lina, the bulk of the farm work is done by Negroes but they did little labor this July 4. On that day your correspondent -passed through the towns of Windsor, Williamslon, Plymouth. Washing Ion. Grifton. Greenville, Kocky Mount. Ayden. and through other communities, but the colored folk were dressed in their Sunday best. If they could hire a (ruck, they were on picnics. Heniinds one of the time about 2,r years ago when a group of Chadbourn Negroes took a special train for a July 6 outing at Lake Waccamaw. As the train pulled out of course the riders had to stick their heads out to wave and to yell at friends or just to yell for the fun of it. A half-dozen young fellows of Chadbourn, equipped with long, leafy branches of trees, suddenly emerged from some bushes as the train came along and swcdI oh" around 150 hats of all description. Someone said they performed the act as one would brush down a hornets' nest, and the subsequent noise on t hat train was really something to hear. There might have been a law suit, but nobody seemed to know who did it and most of the head gear was restored to the rightful owners. 0. R. CALDWELL, JR., son of I Mr. and Mrs. ty H Caldwell, of J Waynesville, who was recently gra I duated from the Bowman Gray j Medical College, Winston-Salem, i has been commissioned a First Lieutenant in the U.

He entered the service in June. iy42 and con tinued his education at the Bow man Gray Hospital College under a government program. He and his wife recently spent a week with his parents prior to going to Washington. NOTE Those diehard indivi duals who have no use for the Negro unless they need him to work or fight may he shocked by the following news item recently carried in the national Farm Bu reau paper: "To increase friendly relations between colored and white races, 125 Negro children are expected to spend two weeks this summer as guests in Verninot homes. Last year, a number of Farm Bureau members in the northern part of the state were hosts lo one or more of the children." Those good Americans who be lieve what they say in the salute to their flag "with liberty and justice for all") will applaud this Farm Bureau project. FAIR No official announcement! has been made, but there will I positively be no State Fair this year. One is planned for 104;'J arid those after ll),r0 will rank with the best in the world. In fact, after 1948 there will be a continuous fair a permanent ex: position at the Fairgrounds out from Raleigh. Watch for it and remember where you first lead about it.
