I v 1-1 Day Passage Of November 7 Bond Election Means Progress For North Carolina Citizens of North Carolina have always been wil ling and able to see their potential and responsibilities when it is demanded of them. North Carolina is on the brink of a revolution which has never before been experienced and Eastern North Carolina stands to profit most from the "already in progress" revolution. One of the steps in the right direction is the No vember 7 Bond Election being placed before the peo ple of North Carolina for their approval. It is true that $61,665,000 is a lot of money. But every bit of it will be spent in such a way that it will benefit the entire State. Some people are against everything in the way of progress except motherhood. Some people never favor Theodore Barring a last-minute reprieve, a 31-year-old Negro farm worker was executed in the State's gas chamber it 10 a. m. Friday for rape-murder. Gov. Sanford announced Thurs day he did not plan to intervene in ihe case of Theodore Boykin, con icted in June of raping and killing i white woman, Mrs. Lena T. Bar nes, in Duplin County last Dec. 24.

Much of this feed will be moldy or dam aged. This situation of hogs rang ing over a greater area and con suming and unbalanced diet of poor quality feed will place more stress on the hOgs and make them more susceptible to disease.such as chol era, salmonellosis, swine due and molty corn disease. One way to reduce this disease hazard is to take as much stress off the hogs as possible. There are sev erial practical things which farm ers can do to reduce the strain on hogs gleaning the fields. They are: 1. Make sure that all hogs have been immunized against cholera at least two weeks, if possible, prior to going into the fields with a modi fied live virus .20-30 ml of serum. illiam Sullivan To Duplin County Commuinty Awards Meet William Sullivan will be the fea tured speaker at the annua. tup lin County Community Development Awards Program on Thursday, No vember 9, at 7 p. m. in Kenansville.

All of you of "The Duplin Story Davs" will remember what a mag nificent job Miss Carroway did ne.pint' us with our publicity. Miss Carroway came down to Kenans ville and stayed for several days to write stories about the pageant. Some of tlve most impressive things about' the Palace to me were the chandeliers, the mantels and the painted wood work which gave the impression of carved wood work marvelous work.
