A group of 150 Negro farmers
attending a Rural Progress Pro
gram held at Charity High School
in Duplin County recently were
told by a local attorney that mak
ing a will does not hasten the fat
al day but it will hold down fam
ily disputes
Riddick E. Wilkins, Negro coun
ty agent for the Extention Service,
reports that an explanation, of the
laws governing wills was only one
of the features of the program.
The farmers heard discussions
of appplied religion in the com
munity, family relationships, re
commendations for improving
farm' income, and county organ
ization.
The Rev. J. T. Douglass of Gre
ensboro told the Negro farmers
that church programs are not in
elusive and churches are, in the
main, relinquishing their respon
sibility to related organizations.
Rev. Mr. Deaglass added that no
other organization can efficiently
take the place of the church in
the community.

Mr. J. Fcank Maready of Jack .
sonville, native et Chinquapin sec
tion of Duplin says he has decided
to east his lot with Kenansville.
Mr. Maready has purchased the
triangle on highway 24 at the in
tersection in front of the Methodist
church and architects are now
drawing plans for a new brick
home, AAA service station and a
22 bedroom Motel and modem Res
taurant. Mr. Maready says the Mo
tel will be 30 x 60 feet, with the
first floor being occupied by a lob
by the restaurant and a private din
ing room and banquet hall. The 22
rooms will be on the second floor.
The residence will be a ft room
structure with service station being
the largest station and only AAA
station between Fayetteville annd
Jacksonville. The whole project
calls for an expenditure of 265,000
to $75,000. The service station will
face East in the triangle. The res
idence will be next to the Paul
Ingram home and the Motel be
tween. Later, he thinks, 'he will
build another dwelling. All build
ings will be of solid brick .struc
ture, he says.
Work was commenced Saturday
clearing out the lot and he expects
to have the project completed be
tween June 1st and June 15th.
Mr. Maready is married and has
five children. His wife is the for
mer Vera Sellers of Marion, S. C.
One daughter, Katrina, is a grad
uate nurse now working1 in Augus
ta, Ga. He says she has her eye
peeled towards Duplin County
Hospital and hopes to come here
when it opens. His other four chil
dren are boys, Billie, Jack, Joe, and
Shelby. All at home except Billie
who ia stationed at Ft Benning,
Ga.
Mr. Maready left Duplin county
in 1925 and went to Marion, S. C.
with Camp Lumber Company. He
owns a home and quite a bit of
property and tourist courts at
Jacksonville. When asked why he
decided to conic to Kenansville he
replied that Jacksonville was a
litttle too fast or busy for him.
He wanted a little more quiet and
he is really making a sacrifice to
give up his attractive home there.
He also continued that he forsaw
a great future for Kenansville. It
is the county seat of a growing
and prosperous county; it is gee- -graphically
located to become ia
time a central shipping town for
the county and being the county
seat was destined to grow in the
near future. He believes that there
is a good opening here for the type
of business he plans to establish;
Also, he said, he just wanted te
get back to Duplin County.
The Times expects to publish
pictures of the three new buildings
as soon as the architect releases

Notes
Where a farm is being divided In
1953 and the farm has been com
bined during the past five years
(1948 through 1952.) the allotment
shall be divided on a history basia
with each tract receiving the same
proportion that such tract contri
buted to the allotment at the time
of the combination (with corres
ponding increases and decreases?.
When a farm is being divided and
such farm wan combined prior W
1948 or the farm has remained r
one farming unit since the begU'
ing fif ihe program, the division
will be mad: on the percentage
of cnop land basis.
All tracts of lan downed and op
erated by tho same person or by
huibar.d and v.itc within a cotuitjr
may be combined if operated a
one farming unit. Any part of a
farm cash rented to another oper
ator shall remain a part of the or
iginal farm or be treated as a sep
arate farming unit, depending upon
the circumstances involved. Your
attention is called to the defini
tion of a farm which permits com
bination of tracU only when owned
by the same person; therefore, com
binations of land cash rented hy an
operator with land owned by hisa
will not be permitted. Under no
circumstances will the State Com
mittee approve the combination ef
any farms for marketing quota pur
poses only, whether owned or ask)
rented, as all farms must be con-
bined for all purposes.
No requests for combinations and
divisions of farms will be accepted
in the county office after May 15,
1958. We are now accepting re
quests for combinations and divis
ions. Have you seriously considered
the financial difficulties that would
arise in case of a crop failure
You do not need to take this
grave risk on tobacco. Come in or
see the following sales agents and
find out how Federal Crop Insur
ance can stand as defense against '
such misfortune.
