He feels the real trou ble in this country is the Wall Street Financiers. : Mr. Williams said this week that the die is be ing cast, if not already ciist, for World War HI. with USSR Russia as the principal. ' However, he doesn't think it is presently em inent -. probably another 25 years. I recall a conversation with Mr. L. A. Beasley, a year or so ago, when he predicted that Russia would eventually march to the At lantic, conquering all of Europe including the British Isles. ? Bob Dall remarked this week that he World was in a "hell of a fix" and Judging from recent news releases, we "are on the verge of another war. C. B. "Pap"-; Sitterson, when asked if World turmoil and strife, as he recalled it Just after World War I, was as" bad as it is today, replied that he didn't believe it was. Mayor John Jenkins of Warsaw remarked the other day, that the people of the Third Congressional District-do not begin to realize how. strong and capable a Cong ressman we have In Graham Bar den. The writer agrees with him. don't believe we could have found a' more capable, mbre dili gent and more conscientious Rep resentative in the District. It ap pears he has proven himself so well that would-be aspirants for the Job realize they would be wast ing time to contest him. There has been criticism in Du plin that the Congressman hasn't done as much for us as for some counties.

Ye Editor says, the County is fortunate and ye edit or's wife says she is fortunate. I have expressed intentions of run ning for the Senate if Senator Johnson did not run. Mrs. Grady said If I did she was going to put an ad In this paper asking the voters not to vote for me. Now, I ask.you is that loyalty? - , Rep. C E. Quinn says he Is not ready to1 announce but he defi nitely will be a candidate for re election to the House of Represen tatives. He has recently sold his business and will have more time to make the race, and attend to Legislative matters, If. eleced. Reports seem to indicate pret ty definitely that Gilbert Alphin of Summerlin or Lewis Outlaw of Albertson will oppose. Quinn. The present . Board of County Commissioners will ask the voters to re-elect them. In the 3rd Dis trict, composing' Limestone and Cypress Creek, Tyson .Lanier will be opposed by his cousin, Archie Lanier, of Beulaville. " r Spring Is Just Around the Cor ner.

Pearce, with the Tob acco Marketing Division of the U. S. Department ' of Agriculture, talked to the Agricultural Work ers of Duplin County at their reg ular monthly meeting held in Ke nansville Monday night, March 11. Mr. Pearce stated that it is ex: pected that the tobacco companies will "begin to buy on quality basis again this year.' He believes that the farmer who produces a good quality crop of tobacccand prop erly grades and prepares U fu. .narket ' will 4 c-ceive more money for his crop. This trend developed on the Old Belt Market toward the end of the last market season. Then was a wide differential be tween the various grades during the last few weeks oi the sut season. With this in mind, it is to every farmers advantage to plan now to make every effort to pro duce a goou quality crop oi co. ; ...... In recent years the person usu ally realizing the largest income per acre was the person who p. o duced the most pounds per acre. According to Mr. Pearce, this is unlikely to be the ca- uu .. Special attention should be pm to properly spacing, ! cultivating, suckering, ciUii j; ..l grading the tobacco for market. .

NO FORMS NEEDED FOR CANNING SUGAR This year home canners will not have to fill out application forms for canning sugar, OPA has an nounced. Canning sugar will be obtained through use of spare stamps contained in either Ration Book Four or on the sugar ration sheet now being issued in lieu of a complete ration book. First spare stamp to be used especially for canning sugar is No. 9, which becomes valid Mon day, March 11, for Jive, pounds and remains good through Octo ber 31. This and another stamp to be validated sometime in June or July will provide this year's allocation for home canning sugar. The use of spare stamps for canning sugar makes no change in the regular consumer sugar ration, which remain at five lbs. for each four month period. The next regular stamp becomes Val id on May 1.

Sometimes one sees a wet paint sign, but just to make sure the paint Is wet, the doubter has to try it for himself. Then again you have probably been rid ing in a car with a fellow who doesn't believe the detour sign un til he is so far Into a construction operation that a crane has to be attached to his vehicle to set it out of the way. Many folk are cautious about quarantine signs, yet we have heard of some who doubted that they were authentic. Certainly the fellow who doubts the meaning of a "no parking sign can't understand why he gets a ticket for illegal parking. He will explain that he thought it meant something else or at least it was I 'r ?Tbdy e,"7 "ner e o nine section or brain " in the head of some people which causes them to have to find out things the hard way. Too often that is expensive. We recently read an account of a doubter whose actions caused his death. Around many army camps in this country there are fields which have buried in them many live shells. The Government has erected warning signs In these areas and the notice explains the danger and often says: "Proceed at your own risk". A farmer de cided to plow one of those fields before it had been declared safe. Soon after he got his tractor to operating well a burst of smoke was seen enveloping the machine. A shell had been hit. and it ex--ploded - killing the doubting far mer. It may be carelessness, the spir it of adventure, the desire to out- -wit the law of man or nature and not get caught, or possibly just dumbness sometimes, which makes people flaunt or disregard proper ly erected warnings. We don't know the answer. We do think It is a good question tho' to ask: "Why do so many people doubt things which have proved long ago as facts?" The North Carolina Motor Car rier's Association has recently ms ' ported that in our State last year there was a total of 7,58T acci dents on the highways. Of this total 731 persons were killed. May we be reminded again that safety efforts wui pay big dividends. Bed Cross Time According to original schedule. Duplin should be "over the top" in Cr" eft by tm time.
