Cap tain Jlmmv JTerritt bead of the drive for this county made the announcement today. The rea son given for the postponement f toe closing oate was aue w the fact, that returns from the various communities have been Incomplete and added time was needed to complete tne canvass. .. Duplin County has never foi short of her part In any worthy undertaking and It is believed that she will come through In flying colore thto time. The quota for the county la 400 members. To date approximate ly 200 have been reported. Re turns .are as follows: Kenans ville leads the list with 02 mem bers: Warsaw 40, Magnolia, 84; B. F. Grady 16: BeulavUle 15; ad Rose Hill 7. Other sections have made no report yet The American Red Cross Is still America's greatest mother. In time of distress, no matter where the call might come from the Red Cross responds. Every reader of this story can recan vividly the storm destructions In North Carolina; the Florida Keyes catsatrophe only a few weeks ago; the New York floods the Montana disaster, and nu merous others. The call for help during the past year has been the greatest hi Red Cross peace time efforts. The TIMES believes It is not only an opportunity but the du ty of every clear thinking man and woman In this county to contribute $1.00 towards this great work. For who knows, to morrow dlstractton may wreck Its havoc on us any day and we w&l have to call on the National Bed Cross. Local Talent Play At B. F.

The reason most growers do not like the idea o ffertilizlng In December is pro bably because the goods they ap plied was 1-2 or more Inorganic nitrogen, putting al lat one appli cation in December, and It gave out before the fruiting season -therefore poor results. The potash should be all muriate or half muriate and half sulphate. On light sandy soils it is advisable to use half of potash from sulphate of potash magnesia. It Is1 recommended; in applying your fertilizer, to use 800 pounds per. acre for a 5 percent nitrogen formula, 1000 pounds for a 4 per cent and 1200 pounds per acre for a a per cent nitrogen. - If you cannot buy fertilizer rea dy mixed as recommended above, most any company wiu oe giaa to mix you the amount needed lt the porportlon and formula you de sire. This will probably cost more, out it win pay at packing1 time. . . If .some plan can be arranged whereby this fertilizer can be put in the soil (even If you have to work, it In lightly with a, hoe), without exposing the roots to the cold, much batter, results will be obtained., . - Terms Meted Ab Phillips Acquitted, 1st. Degree Charge JOSEPH0, GREEN Get 30 YearTEacli In State Prison Two unusual murder cases were called before Judge Henry A. Gra day. presiding over a one week term of criminal cases "here this week. The two cases were Wood row Joseph, white man of Faison, charged with killing a Negro and Ab Phillips, charged with killing another Negro. Joseph, it will be remembered, shot and killed, in cold blood, Hen ry Smith, Negro In Faison on Sep tember 3rd. The grand jury brought in a true bill and it was expected that the court would ask the death penalty. Through his at torney, Joseph plead guilty to mur der in the second degree and after the evidence had been presented, Judge Grady, sentenced him to 30 years In the State prison at hard labor. In the case of Ab Phillips, char ged with fatally cutting Meriman Middleton, another Negro on Nov ember 18th., 1933, Phillips was found not guilty by a jury. The most unusual thing about this case was the fact that every deputy sheriff and a dozen or more promi nent white citizens went on the stand and swore Phillips a good character. According to the evi dence presented, Phillips killed in self-defense. He admitted the kill ing in self-defense. All State and defendant witnesses practically co roborated each others testimony with the exception of Sammy Mid dleton, brother of the deceased, who was also in the fracas. The evidence showed that a fuss was started and Phillips, In an effort to escape trouble, attempted to leave the two brothers and in the act was forced to cut Merimam Middleton to protect his own life after having been cut by Middle ton himself. Another murder given 30 years in the State prison was Charlie Green, who submitted a plea of guilty to murder in the second de gree. Other cases disposed of through Wednesday night were as follows: D. C. Ackerman, housebreaking and larceny. Given 3 years for vio lation of previous judgment.
