Vtenihe tima first-went Into the v A TROMISORY NOTE Tfaurs, (Qct. 27 A very proasmevt farmer and business mam remarked to me today that one of the main tranMes wih Duplin County farmers is that they want to compnamise. Compromise what? In an eco nomic or political issue them is. no conmromise. You either stick to jsuir principles honest or dishonest, or you haven't a brain to think with. If you are crooked it will out; if you are honest, j vwill out You cannot ' straddle the fence. Now, how '.are we going to move in Duplin? I was toMihat a certain person made the state ment in the drug stare Ihere today, in a hilarious mood that the Duplin Tinae would not issue a paper tfhis week because Harvey Arnold was reelected chairman of the Duplin ASC. Well the Times did issue and it will continue to issue, Harvey Arnold, to the contrary. I am not, and never have of beuig crooked. The Times nas only published the information given and we will continue to do so, if they, the local County group, will give if to us. Congress should make every single record open to the public and especially the press. There should be nothing confiden- , tial m any public office. As; have said before, this breeds Communism.. ' Duplin, we'd better wake' up before it is too late. I am opposed to Harvey Arnold as an individual but I am opposed to any person in public office, and an office that doesn't pay a living salary, whom, there is constant , criticism ot;v;eimbUcofficial.. grants. a special favor"(and lam nbt charging Harvey with having done . that) the repayment of that favor has' already been planned ahead of time between the promiser and the recipient. A promisory note, morally, doesn't necess arily have to be put on paper, and recorded. DUPLIN STINKS AGAIN, , By J. R. Grady Duplin County, in the agricultural field, is stinking in shame. When reports the old saying Where there is smoke there must De a fire." The County ASC Committee election last week has gotten hundreds of farmers in both ends of the county stirred up. , j -1 can't help but believe that the present Republican administration is responsible for it. We Democrats in the South can not carry a national election alone, but if we don't get together the northern Republicans are going to throw this country back into another depres sion, the size of the thirties. How are we going to do it? The only way is home . rule by thinking people. Cooperation in the home com munity; cooperation in the home counties and c9pera tion'in the home states. And, we might add, a little religion, trust and honesty to I like v Governor Hodges very much and I like his policies but a political coalition of southern states to go to the next Democratic National Convention with a block of votes, I do not agree with. We can go to the convention .with a common thought, and; with -a common mind to s .defeat the enemy and win farmers, their sight to a fair . . '.1 1 A. w,-w J .

In addition to having adequate storage facilities, the company is equipped with waaAiira;, drying, grading and proper packing machln es which make the Inniness even better. In comparing the woiik of today with several years axq, Toacythe said there is no way of comparing. In "the oldd ays" before shipping sweet potatoes, each potato had to be wiped off with zacs smd ssgpaA ed. In addition, they had to be ship ped by rail and often times this pre. sented a problem. Today, shipping can be either by rail ear track. Prior to the new .storage liouse, three .houses were used for .storage. They could not come near storing the present capacity of amastd 150,- 000 bushels, which Include tat ad ditional small storage houses. We stored for about 350 different growers last year," King said. "We feel that we are now in a tatter position to serve more farmers in Eastern North Carolina." Farmers come from many miles away to have their sweet potatoes stored with the Faison company but they serve mostly the growers in Wayne, Sampson, Duplin and Le noir Counties. Briefs BY ROBERT GRADY A Distinguished Visitor Monday A distinguished visitor came to Kenansville today, col. Owen Kenan of Wilmington. He visited Rutledge cemetery and sug gested that the monument, that has fallen over in Kutiedge cemetery, to Alexander Dickson be removed to the court house square. We heartily agree with Col. Kenan.
