NEYSlYiEWS witw, - f ' THS EDITOR - '- Well we have some Interesting, reading this week. It seems that our subscribers turned an aval anche of letters loose -on us. We first thought we would run them Ul In open forum and when the last was received .from an un known writer we obuld not help, but feature Hon the front page. The writer, commenting on the present administration In wash- , Ington City expressed the opln - " a. .-. a MiillniM nfi UmithamtaH Ib of millions of (Southerners, especially farmets- It Is the first time that our National Govern ment has really pdt forth an at tempt to aid agriculture. Also I am Inclined to agree with what the . writer Infewl i-ogardlng oar Supreme, Court. Is It right that 'nine men should have the power to literally tear down and destroy the program ot an ad ministration that Is doing every thing, in its power to help the farmer- and downtroduen man? Our .constitution' Is a document that has been' written through the 169 years of our governments history. During that time many changes have been maae. Most noticeable' probably were the two amendments freeing the Slaves, and repealing the -18th amend ment,, r-'C,l The framework ot our Gov ernment haS not been altered, so far aa comttltuttatt Is concerned, taut , when" a condition arises as the years from 1989 to the pres ent When so-called unconstitu tional measure , have to be en acted to pull this country out of what might have been complete destruction through revolution then it seems 'to me that our -constitution should be altered to make such laws conform to our structure and procedure of gov- r efntnent ,under thenew order R It seems t f tS&'&lim oldent that this letter should reach the desk the same week Nand the very same day- as did the letter from Rev. John T. Fitz- geral'J Inl New York.; As one let ter carried' the cry of the South ern Farmer that he should fight With' the president in his efforts to help the farmer, the letter from',! the -Industrial and money center of the East rang with the i cry of the money powers to stop this program of resuscitating - the already drowned man be cause to do this might muddy the .play 'Waters of the mighty rich. Be v. Mr. Fitzgerald seems to think that election time next .year will be the most exciting event we have had In this coun- v try In many a day. "Coming e vents cast their shadows before" la an old saying that too often proves to be true. Agreeing with the -writer of the first letter, I am of the opinion that Southern and Western farmers better u nite behind this NEW DEAL ' program as it affects hem and , keep the Roosevelt a Jmlnistra- Hon in power until the new order : can be well seated. 'Some of the residents of "Choco- lato'MrtU be interested in Rommie O'Daniel's letter about his family discoveries in Tennessee, while those most interested in the Wet and Dry issue will be Interested in Mr. Qulnn's letter. Again a tax payer sounds a note of warning to the-., board of commissioners about raising .the tax rate. v . ' 0 ' - ' Rev. Mr. Gooding was called to Virginia this week on account of the illness of his mother. ' 'Farmers of this section are looking forward with nauch eagerness- to the opening of the border belt today, The Georgia .. opening average of around 21 cents sounds Very encouraging. Quite a number of Duplin farmers are spending the day on the border markets. Congressman Graham V Barden passed through Warsaw this week. No obe seems to know just-what his business was but the job; of appointing a post-master .there has .not been completed, yet. .1' Distributing AAA (; '$$1 Marketing: Cards - Distribution Of DupllH ;; County AAA tobacco marketing cards was oegun lasc ween, r aruierg are ana - ed to await receipt or notice from the County Agent before calling for their cards.

With, to bacco coming into Whiteville in a steady stream for the past three days reports from this marketing city state that there is approxi mately two million 'pounds of the leaf spread on the warehouse floors of Whltevillc's warehouses awaiting sale. It truly looks as U this is the beginning of the great est season ever experienced by the Whiteville market and while it will be necessary to sell near two mil lion pounds of tobacco today and tomorrow the Whiteville tobacco nists feel confident that their floors will be cleared by five o'clock Friday afternoon, leaving them clean and bare for a big sale Monday. , As this report is received sales had not begun on the Whiteville market and, unless later informa tion is received, one can only guess as to what price will be paid to day. Reports from the Georgia Belt which opened last Thursday have been very encouraging to the tobacco growers of this State, however, the average price paid on the Georgia markets cannot bci used as a comparison for the pric-) es that will be paid in the Border Belt opening week. Georgia has a very fine crop of tobacco this year. Reports from tobacconists on the Georgia markets state that the best of this crop is being sold first. Contrary to this the tobacco grow ers of the Border Belt are bring ing their sand lubs and other non descript grades to market this week. . . . with a sprinkling of the ' better types.

The Wets say Prohibition has Opined the Country, Dry's say It was a success. Who's right? , .Firsts whether for or against .al coholic drinks, let us be honest with each other, broad minded, think and consider. You will find the writer fair to all. I will not condemn the drunk who while driv ing his car runs into another and kills several members of a happy sober family, nor the drunk who goes home and abuses his family, nor the drunk in the gutter. I am not writing these articles to con demn, for a man with his delicate brain cells destroyed by poisonous alcoholic drinks is to be pitted. I am writing these articles to show just what alcohol has done, is do- ing and will do, and for other rea- sons which you will learn later. Were I to actually condemn it would have to be the sober man who knowing the danger of alco hol continues to drink, or to take the first drink. It would be the drink and never get drunk, for ho I it is, that the sober youth listens to and then decides he can do the I . same thing. Next week we will step right out I into space, into the great space, of imagination. I will take you on a trip you will never forget, so pack up and get ready.

The seasonal pay day 01! tho Border Belt Tobacco groWw." began today when promptly at (nine o'clock thico nets nl buyers formed ranks behind Whiteville a warehousemen and siartod on tl.o long trek that will carry then many miles up and down the Iloo.-i of this city's six warehouses beforj the end of the marketing season. These buyers face a record bronl;- 1 lne amount of the leaf and it is i hard to estimate the amount -t to 'bacco that Is already spread lor sale, but It Is thought that tins. I together with later arrivals today and Friday, will be more than a mihon-and-a-half pounds. However at twelve o'clock tcday sales wei . progressing smoothly and without interruption. All warehouse floois should be cleared and bare by Fri day afternoon and ln complete 1 readiness for another big sale Mon day. The thousands who r.ave-tobaccj here for sale today are e vincing genuine satisfaction over the priced they are receiving and many oth ers here as spectators state they will be back next week with as much of the weed as they can make ready for the market. It 13 hard to estimate the average price of the tobacco that is being sold today. Competition is keen en nil types however. Todays offering are lacking in quality, when taken as a whole, but if the pleased experssions com ing from those who are receiving checks for their tobacco can be considered as an indication, then It can be safely said-that the aver age will be surprisingly high. Opening day last season this 1 market sold four hundred seven- teen thousand pounds of tobacca. Opening day this year that mark ; will be execeeded by nearly a quar ter million pounds. The average for the opening day sale last year was twenty one dollars and thirty cents per hundred. Many are pre dicting as great an increase in tile average price as there is in li-.i Pudage. All are unanimous in stating that tobacco is selling much higher than they expected. Georgia Marts Opened With Over 20c Aver'ge I xhe Georgia markets opened -ast su-lwcek with an averaRC Gf over 20 markets averaging much higher. j The Georgia cpening was a lew cents under the opening figures of last year, however the crop there is reported to be improved over . last season Water Melon Cutting The Mom and Pop Club met at the Town Spring Monday night in its regular meeting. L. L. McLen don was the chief speaker for the evening and in a very interesting way was presented to the Federal A. A. A. Program and the appli cation thereof to Duplin County. Mr. McLendon gave a cross section cf his office work that we hight peep in and then showed something j of how the plan had worked in tho 1 county, Improvement in debts, homes, dres3, modes of travel, and general moral is seen from all sid es. New houses and newly painted houses have made the country side look very attractive. Mr. McLendon stated that the country people had learned their 1 lesson in torrner years, and when I the money began to come in this past two years the farmer first paid ms obligations and debts, and 1 there by has managed to stay on top. The better times for the far- mer has meant better times lor ev ! ery other organization and busi I ness, for the buying power in the pulse of business. .The speaker pointed to the present program as a great victory for the south over industrial north. A great melon cutting followed and all were filled to an uncom fortable state. Rental checks amounting to JIG, 852.32 have been received and de-. livered to cotton growers k Ber tie County who signed adjustment contracts last year.
