Duplir l;New Grower Continue Touchy BY PACT, BARWICK 1 The' new , grower, . tobacco allot- ' inents in -Duplin County continue to be touchy ' situation. Rumors continue to spread about dissatisfaction-with the operation of the Duplin-'Courity Agriculture Stabili sation and Conservation. ' Since the investigation by the A State ASC and Federal Department of AgricuHure began, more and " more rumors have been heard." Among them are the fact that ' "hidden fields of tobacco have been icliscovered in the County. It is re ported to the Duplin Times that a field of 20 acres has been reported as "hidden" and some of lesser acre- ' age. - It Is reported from the Duplin County ASC office that "hidden"' ' tobacco fields have been found. However, in connection with this officials- say that this Is a common practice and that several are re ported - and discovered each year. , The number and names cannot be - released. ' During the hearing of cancella tion of new grower tobacco allot ments one of the main point brought out by the State, was the !axiety with which plots of ground were sold for farms and the high prices paid. In the Duplin County Register of Deeds office deeds are recorded for these sales of farms. A check of the deeds show that In one instance, $15,000 was paid for 19-acre farm. It was brought out at the Review Board hearing that no money was paid down on this farm and that the first payment was ' due April 1, 1955 in the amount of $7,500. , According to James Byrd, of War saw township, in whose name the deed is recorded, he was to pay the first payment "this year sometime." ; He said nothing has been said about the note being past due. He has not Six Women Shocked As Boll Of Lightning Strikes Barii SI ' women Were sthockea Dy Mghtning Friday morning as they ere' "working tobacco" in the Surn- erlln's ' Crossroad v community. ,e was seriously hurt.

Mrs. Wal ter Jones, Miss Vera Mae Thigpen, and Macey Hill, a Negro woman. The Hill woman was. the most ser iously hurt, Mrs. Summerlln said.

In the deed of trust, Mitchell Eritt is named along with W. A. Smith, from whom Byrd purchased the 15 acres. Vo At the hearing, Brltt represented Byrd. In the purchasing of the land by Byrd ,Britt represented Smith, the records show. " There are similar deeds On rec ord in the Cases where new grower allotments have been cancelled by1 the State ASC committee. There": are. 'several requirements which a new grower must meet be fore his application Is supposed to be considered by the County ASC Committee. ,' ' Among them are that the opera tor is to receive at least 50 per cent of his total income from the farm, that he must reside on the farm and that he must 'iave farmed tobacco at least two years of the last five jears. v;V - j Other rumors which have reach- ed The Duplin Times in the past week, from 'Very reliable sources is that tobacco contracts on iden tical farms are known to be regist ered in different .names for in creased allotments. ' Also, tobac; co allotments have been given min ors, it is rumored. It has beert. brought out that the people of Duplin County have a right to elect their County Commit tee, and right to change the Coun ty Committee, if they are dissatis fied with the work.

That delegate goes to the County Convention in Kenansville where the chairman and two other com mitteemen are elected to serve for the farmers of the County. However, it appears at each an nual convention, for several years, that the northern and southern townships of Duplin County can. not get along. At the convention, the northern six townships are out-vot- rd by the southern townships by one vote. This has been true for several years, records indicate. As to the, extent of the Investiga tion by State and Federal ASC of ficials, it is not known to The Duplin Times. However it is known that the Review Eoard, with State and Federal Officials sitting in on the hearing, will convene in Duplin County, at the Agriculture Building, in' Kenansville, in the near future, U hear some more ol tne new grow er tobacco allotment appeals.

Teachey Citizens Put Up Money For School Site Citizens of Teachey who are in terested in the New School for the Wallace - Rose Hill area of Duplin County today deposited with the Board of Education the sum of $3000 to be used to help pay for the site for the school. This is a fine and generous gesture, on the part of those In" and arouml Teachey who are still interested In seeing Tiach &v again become an educational cen ter. It is recalled that at one time Teachey had the largest and best Mgh school between Goldsboro and Wilmington. The new school will make Teachey approach this en viable position once more. The survey is compietea tor tne Katie Paee sile and all that re mains to be done is to settle a few details and then pay for the pro perty. This should require very little time.
