"The Story of Duplin"
Although Duplin cdunty's cele
bration of its two- hundreth birth
day anniversary is still two months
rhead residents are advisedly ma
king preparations for the pageant
which will mark the occasion well
in advance. The event, aptly entit
led "The Duplin Story", will be
held in Kenansville, September 22,
through the 25th.
The promoters have shown canny
judgment in securing Sam Byrd
to write, produce, direct and take
the leading role in the pageant. It
was Mr. Byrd, a native of Mount
Olive, who produced and played
the principal part ;in "Tobacco
Road", which had the extraordinary
run of eight years on Broadway. He
has already arrived in Kenansville
to put final touches upon the script,
and Corwin Rife of the Dock Street
Thnolro r.harlpston. S. C. who will
etinprvise the technical phases of
the presentation, is expected to ta'e
over these exacting -amies wu.
Relics of Duplin's early days are
hoin-r icspmhleri. Many are on ex
hibit in prominent Kenansville
business house windows even jiuw.
Tryouts by the county's young wo
men are already underway. Aspir
ants for parts are appearing before
civic clubs and other organizations.
Rehearsals will start soon as th2
leads" and a considerable company
for the minor roles are selected.
Looking back across the years to
the earlier days of white men in
this region, we find that Carteret
precinct, as counties were then des
ignated, was established in 17-2,
and included an indeterminate area
along the North Carolina seaboard
westward througn me whucih"
far as the imagination could reach.
In 1725 the New Hanover precinct,
embracing the territory now in Du
plin, Sampson, Bladen and Bruns
wick counties was carved from .this
territory. In a later carving - 1749,
to be specific - Duplin county cam.
into existance as a separate geo-
t.ini cuh-riivision.
Bldim.. . .t
These two centuries
quantity of material which has been
converted by the magic pen of Mr.
Byrd, into a dramatic story with
historical background that may well
make Kenansville the Mecca of
many thousands of visitors a little
more than two months hence, dur
ing the three days of the pageant.

FLUE - CURED TOBACCO
MR. FLUE-CURED TOBACCO GROWER:
What does the future hold for flue-cured tobacco? You can have
a voice in deciding. On Saturday, July 23, growers will vote at con
venient polling places on whether they want morketing quotas con
tinued. You can vote for quotas for three years . . . You can vote for
quotas for only one year ... or you can vote against quotas. It requires
a two-thirds majority to keep quotas in effect.
This is your opportunity to make your opinion count in shaping
the future course of flue-cured tobacco production . . . Quotas can
not be in effect unless approved by growers themselves . . . It's your
question and it's up to you to give your answer by voting.
VOTE YOUR OWN WAY r- BUT BY ALL MEANS VOTE!
REMEMBER SATURDAY, JULY 23 IS THE DATE!
