Honesty is alwaWfiae best policy and j " the only way to be honest is to shoot absolutely straight every, time, no matter where, the chips .fall. Ute pur- pose of the ASC is to keep tobacco.' prices up but such conduct as has been going on in Duplht iu the past has a tendency to cause a loss of faith in our. people and a 'reduction in tobacco, prices: 'vw4'Av,V; ' V When new-grower allotments a given to farmers ' who already have a large allotment it simply means . that the new-grower allotment Is being taken away from!

' ; ' Ola a letter from Vance Securities rporation this week. Faison W. Gowen, County Auditor, was ln rmed that during the paat year Duplin's rating has advanced from 76 to 77. This means that Duplin ' County now la 23 from the top among North Carolina Countiea in Its financial position. The letter read, in part. "We re ceived thla morning a copy of the new Council (North Carolina Muni cipal Council) report on Duplin County and a you may know, your numerical rating, hat been raised from 76 to 77.

This rating Increase comes on top 491, the fact that recently the County has sold thousands of dol lars worth of bonds for the con struction of the Duplin General Hospital, Nurses' Home, and Health Center.

They were ousted by the State ASQpjy Committee for "approving new ',' grower tobacco allotments when they knew the farm or the operator did not meet the require ments." This action ' by the State Com mittee, which met here yesterday, brought to a close a long and bitter dispute 1n Duplin over the activities of Arnold and Hall. .i , ? InvesUgstlon. , Charges - about the way they were administering the affairs of the local office erupted in an in vestigation late this summer. The findings of the probe, which were not released in detail, were re ceived by the State Committee about two weeks ago. . The investigation found no wrong-doing by J. C. Blanchard, the third member of the local com rrritte, ' Or . the alternates, Davis Brinsou and Henry R. Carter. They too had been suspended. With Arnold and Hall removed, Blanchard becomes the new chair, man of the Duplin committee. ."Other Committeemen -All three were re-elected during the County ASC convention in Kenansville on Oct. 27.

' Compared with the previous week there were more losses than gains, but they were small mostly $1.00 to $3.00 and occurred chiefly in lugs nd primings which were of fered in heaviest volume. A few small gains were noted. The gen eral average of $44.02 for the 9,127, 193 pounds sold during thrweek was $0.08 below last week and the lowest weekly average of the sea son. This low average was due part ly to he. large amount of nonde script,' decayed and unsound tobac coaround 25 per cent. For the season through November 18 gross sales have totaled 525,988,275 pounds and averaged $52,35 per hundred. Sales were composed chiefly of poor to good leaf, low to good lugs and low and fair primings. Vol ume was light.

For ) James Knowles which he knew port did no show "anyhing wrong with several phases of the admin istration of the program" in Dup lln. ' . The report said investigator found the Duplin office did an "ex cellent" Job of measuring farms and that "there was nothing at all wrong" with any activity involving money. , , v Also the investigation report said "work in the county office was done in accordance with in struction! and regulations." Mrs. Dora Betty Bell is office manager in Duplin. Allotments Cited. ' "What they found wrong was in the handling of new grower to bacco allotments," the State of fice said. "They . found they weren't handled 'exactly .in ac cordance with our instructions and regulations. They found two men responsible for -that, the chairman, Harvey D. Arnold, and the vice chairman, Coy Hall ..." The State committee said it re moved Arnold and Hall under au thority of the Secretary of. Agricul ture's regulations which say in part: "Any member of a county or community committee or alter nate to such office who fails to per. form the duties of his office shall be removed by the State Commit tee," The State committee reinstated Blanchard on Nov. 8, the day aft. er it discussed the matter "in formally" with- the suspended com mitteemen and their lawyer. A hearing prior to the investiga tion of the Duplin office disclosed that 21 new grower allotments ap proved by Arnold's committee last year were cancelled by the State committee after spot-checking. ' (In The Wilmington News) In sentencing Rose Hill Attorney Latham Wilson in U. S. District Court last week presiding Judge Don Gilliam" said that he had done everything in his power to "forget the fact-that this man is an at torney,,. ... AJte-ih earing all the testimony against, Wilson ,ap4 his co-defend ant, James IS: Knowles, 74, an illi terate' Rose Hill man, Judge Gil liam deliberated for nearly forty five minutes before passing sent ence. Both men were charged with fraud and conspiracy. Both were sentenced to 18 months on each count, the terms to run concur rently, suspended for a two-year period of probation. In his deliberation, Judge Gil liam questioned Wilson's attor ney, Aaron Goldberg, at some length. Goldberg had pointed out Wil son's excellent character and the fact that he had never been in dicted previously. He also point ed out that Wilson had at one time spent 12 months in a mental in stitution and described him as "a man who is not as normal as you or I." "Everything in this mans rec ord, said Judge Gilliam, "his family life, the fact he has never before been in trouble every. thing points to his being enttled to probation . . ." "Except for the fact that he's an attorney," interrupted Goldberg. "That's right!" agreed Judee Gilliam. In this morning's testimony, Wil son admitted taking a check from the season, around 24 per cent. Farmville. Greenville. Kituton. Smithfleld and Washington -closed during the week. Only Rocky Mount and Wilson wul hold - sales next week and they will close November 23, bringing to an end the 1955 mar. krting season in Eastern North Ca rolina. Stocks of flue-cured tobacco own ed by dealers and manufacturers on October 1 were 2,548,137,000 pounds (farm -sales-weight). Holdings on October 1. 1S54 were 2.267.289,000 pounds. fMv Knowles had signed with the name of his (Knowle's) brother. ' Wilson contended that the check wss in payment for services render ed Knowles in regard to an insur ance award. The insurance award involved the accidental death of a brother of both James and Frank Knowles, and Wilson represented the two men at the request of Jam es before the Industrial Commis sion. As a result, the two surviving bro thers were awarded settlements of $1,000 each. Checks to both broth ers were mailed to Wilson, along with an additional $300 from the lnrurance company to Wilson for his legal services. Wilson testified that the $300 was not sufficient and that he had told Knowles that there would be an additional $400 charge that Knowles would have to pay. . Wilson, testified iurthcr-IhsA when he received the two settle ment checks to the brothers, ho gave them both to James. As a favor, he testified he drove James to Jacksonville to open a bank ac count. At the bank, he testified that ho introduced James as "Mr. Knowles and that, while James opened his) account, he was not aware of the de tails of the transaction, that he was chatting with Mrs. Wilmur Riven bark, an employee at the bank. During yesterday's testimony, Mlt. chell Allen, an official in the Jack sonville bank, said that Wilson had introduced James, not as "Mi Knowles," but as "Mr. Frank Knowles." And Mrs. Rivenbark testified this morning that Wilson did not chat with her until immediately prior to the time he left the bank, not until "after" he had completed his transaction at the teller's win dow. Questioned by U. S. Attorney Julian Gasklll as to whether or not he did not know that the check) given him by James was signed with the name Frank, Wilson ad mitted that he did but assumed that James and Frank had agreed previously to the action.
