JANUARY H 1W WPHBE8 THIBTY-I3GHT Healflr Board Repeals Rule Ob Meat fssie Ruling of December 17 Repealed at Meeting of Department Jan uary 18 Greenville, Jan. 22.?Dr. N. T. Ennett, director of the Pitt County Department of Health announced to day action of the Pitt County Board of Health repealing a ruling passed December 17, relative to the hand ling of diseased meats where such cattle are condemned by federal in spectors. Dr. Ennett's statement follows: At a called meeting of the Pitt County Board of Health on January 18th, the following resolution was passed, "That the Pitt County Board of Health repeal ruling passed De cember 17, 1934, relative to diseas ed meat, where such cattle are con demned by Federal Inspectors and slaughtered and meat approved un er regulations and Federal inspec tion.'' This repeal was decided upon aft er Doctor A A Husman, U. S. Bu reau of Animal Industry, satisfied the Board as to the regulations un der which such animals are slaugh tered and inspected. In order to reassure the public as to the wholesomeness of this meat, the Board requested Doctor Husman to outline for the press, briefly the U. S. Public Health ordinance cov ering this question. Dr. Husman makes the following statement: "This ordinance requires an an nual inspection of all animals in the . herd for tuberculosis and abortion disease under methods prescribed . by the U. S. Livestock Sanitary As sociation and approved by the U. ' S. Bureau of Animal Industry. In ; the event tuberculosis is found in a herd, a re test is made every 90 days until we are satisfied all tuber culosis animals have been removed. . These animals which react to the ; test in any degree are instantly re moved and slaughtered, and a post mortem is held on each animal by a I qualified graduate veterinarian ap- j proved by the U. S. Bureau of Ani mal Industry and the N. C. Depart ment of Agriculture, under the same Meat Inspection Regulations as gov- j ernment meat inspections at Fed erally Inspected A baton'a "The disposition of these carcass es is made entirely in keeping with sound rules based oh scientific facts 1 concerning the disease, and no meat j is passed for human consumption in which there is any possibility of transmitting any disease to the con- . sumer. The same procedure is follow- , ed in Contagious Abortion or Bang's disease. * - ? 1 I Retire True Bill ; Against H. Evans; Grand Jury Returns: Bill of Indictment Against Driver of Death Car Greenville, Jan, 22.?Working at fuH speed ahead the new six month's gnmd jury which went into action at the opening season of criminal court here yesterday, continued to eenfin# its attention to a number of charges today after finding true bills ? is several actions of more or less im-J portance yesterday. Probably the moat- important charge considered by the jury yes terday was that against Barman Evans, who has been held in jail without band here since last Thurs day night afbr allegedly running aver and killing Mrs. Horace Branch 23-yesrold woman, on the Cox MID ? v mgJiway. The jury late yesterday afternoon returned a true bill against the de fendant and he will probably g? on trial during the middle or latter part of the week. A coroner's jury investigated the case and ordered-that Evans bel held in jail without bond on a| while in & drunken condition. jl companion, wheal the car flikgedly driven By g ditch* Through State Capital Keyholes Br Bess Hinton Silver THREATENING?If former Lieu taunt Governor R. T. Fountain, of Rocky Mount, doesn't seek to snatch the toga now sported by Senator Jo siah W. Bailey, Raleigh, next year a lot of people who help support pillars around the State Capitol will be very much surrised. Mr. Foun tain's actions have been interpreted as those of a candidate for a year or more but in Raleigh recently be was asked directly if he intended to run for nomination to the Eastern Sen ate seat. "I am seriously consider ing it," Fountain replied and that is considered something in the nature of a direct reply from a man who never has been prone to tell other people what he intends to do. WISE EGG?Lieutenant Govern-1 or A. H. Graham is reputed to know his way around in the world of pol itics and his Senate committee ap pointments seem to justify that es timate. Examination of senate ap pointments will reveal that every member of the Upper House has I berths on several important commit tees and the new members seem par ticularly pleased. If Mr. Graham re-1 ally intends to run for the Demo cratic nomination for Governor in 1936 it is a safe bet that his com mittee asaignmnts have not hurt his chances. LIFE AND LIMB?The mounting toll of death and injury resulting from automobile accidents has re sulted in introduction of almost 571 varieties of bills to license auto drivers and provide other means of highway safety. These bills prob ably will go through the melting pot of roads committees and come out in _ the form of committee substitutes embodying what members of the two . roads committees consider their best features. From all indications the present General Assembly is going to pass some sort of law to license all gas wagon drivers. c BOWS TO ENEMY?In the ap-11 pointment of A. A. F. Seawell as At torney General to succeed the late a Dennis G. Brummitt, Governor Eh ringhaus considers that he is brush ing aside politics to recognize the * service of an able public servant ; Mr. Brummitt was not always 1 friendly to the administration and 1 Mr. Seawell often sided with his 1 chief. The Governor might have given this exceedingly fat plum to [ some man more partisan to his own cause but he choose the Assistant t1 Attorney General for the post It a is considered gracious here, to say the least' f ______ _ 11 BOOZE?Liquor bills may come r and liquor bills may go but if one c passes the present session of the c Legislature a lot of the old time * prognosticates will be discredited. e Some members of the General As- c sembly, including some former c "Drysrt are ?11 hot and bothered 2 about liberalizing the Turlington v "bone-dry'' act. But if the boys who s claim to have questioned the mem- a bership can be depended upon there is but little chances of legal liquor following this season. Stronger beer ? has better chances. 1 ? MONEY-MONEY?Various and sun- 1 dry factions have announced intent- *? ion of seeking to get the General c Assembly to use money collected J from gasoline and auto licenser taxes * to support their favorite activities. 1 On the other hand the folks back 1 home want their roads repaired and ^ are making their opinions known in ( db uncertain terms. As one North ' Carolina editor puts it "the battle-is * on between schools and roods. It's going to be a lively scrap with the ' farmer on the bumpy road standing 1 a good chance to lose Ms repairs. { WANT SPEED?Finance and ap- 1 propriationa committees of the House and Senate are agreed that speed-is essential in consideration of the two money bills. But as the ? groups got started on deliberations, much difference of opinion was mani fest' and indications are that the seas may not run smooth throughout the entire session. Dr. Ralph Mc Donald, Representative from For syth, Franklin county's W. L. Lump kin and Senator J. T. Burruss, of 'Guilford,, are not the only members opposed to the sales tax recomtoend ed for re-enactment by tip admin istration to meet the needs of public I schools. The boys are yet a censid | enable distance from port,;/: CAPITAL PUNISHMENT ? Un der terms of a hill introduced in the House by former Congressman ber from Lincoln, Superior Judges ,ssnsmsds" mercy" I'hsee is able judicial and legal opinion that mandatory sentences of any sort4o not tend to further the ends of jus tice in the long run. I '* \"V ''*? '? V' ' V*.: UNCERTAIN ? While Congress man R. L. Doughton holds his peace on his decision of "to run or not-to run" for Governor in 19S6 the grape vine brings varying reports from the national capitol and Sparta, the Congressman's home. Friends of the other two potential candidates Lieutenant Governor A. H. Graham and Clyde B. Hoey, say that their final decision will not be influenced by Mr, uougnton s course. P ?? ? ? ?

GUARDS GAME?Sen. Carl L. Bailey, of Washington county, was named chairman of the committee on Conservation and Development at the insistence of conservationists. He fought for uniform game laws in 1933 and so far this session has been th watch-dog to rout out Innocent looking bills which in effect would give j ndividual counties their own nummg seasons.

Too many Let 'em Eat Cake?

Scar borough, general agent of the Farm Credit Administration of Columbia ind president of the Federal Land lank of Columbia, who is in Wash ington for a meeting of the Gener-| tl Agents of the Farm Credit Ad ninistratiom "The changed state of mind of iur farmers," said Mr. Scarborough 'is best reflected in the annual neetings of the production credit issociations now being held in our listrict These meetings are being ittended by large crowds of mem bers and non-members. There has lot been a discordant note at a one ?f these gatherings; not a word of riticism of anybody nor a note of lessimism. The farmers have enter ed with enthusiasm into the pro ceedings of the meetings and are iisplaying their old-time fire and ;eal as they plan for the future, ehere a year ago they seemed <Je pondent or at very best doubtful is to what was ahead. 1 "Collections in our district re lect the improved conditions and ilso the desire of the farmers to >rotect and perpetuate the credit cystem which has been devised to neet their needs through the Farm Tredit Administration. Nineteen of bur production credit associations Have already collected all produc ion loans and many of the others ire near the 100 per cent mark. In lot a single association has the 'aimer-owned stock been impair ed; on the contrary the value of he stock in every association has >een enhanced. 'The Federal Land Bank of Co nmbia, the Federal Intermediate Credit Bank of Columbia and the Columbia Bank for Cooperative like wise have made good progress. The Columbia Bank for Cooperatives did not have a single delinquent upon its books at the end of its first year's operations." More Cotton Chuck Ready For Farmers Farm Department No tifies 300 Growers; Checks Await Them at Office in Farmville E. P. Arnold, director of the Pitt County farm department, announc ed Tuesday that $50,000 in cotton parity checks to farmers who cp operated with the government in the crop control movement, had been paid out by his office since Christmas. < Mr. Arnold also stated that no tices were being mailed dbt to 300 or more growers asking them to call. at his office to receive a sim ilar number of checks involving some $3,000 or more. The checks are all for small amounts and growers have been ask ed to call at the farm office imme diately upon receipt of notices. The farm director said his office was holding 300 tobacco marketing cards for correction. Owners of the cards were urged to visit the office before the first of February and pro vide information for the changes. Mr. Arnold declared that correc tions not made by February 1 would cause great delay, but that it was impossible for his department to complete the cards without co-op eration from the growers involved. REV. DICKSON TO SPEAK Rev. James Dickson, Canadian Presbyterian Missionary to Fenhosa, Japan, who is now on furlough, will give a lecture using pictures here Sunday in the Presbyterian church. Rev. Dickson will also speak fa Fountain at 11:00 a. m. and in Falk land at 8:00 p. m. coming here [for the evesnig service at 7:30 p m. i : Farmers Learning To Accomplish Things Thru Cooperation Farmville, Jan. 25.?"Farmers are at lapt learning that the only way to accomplish anything worthwhile is through cooperation," said John T. Thome upon his return here from New Orleans where he attended a s meeting of Southern cotton produc er& Mr. Thome, a director of the State J Cotton Association, was invited to attend the meeting at which cooper* 1 ative and agricultural leaders from California to- North Carolina were present. 1 "The consensus of opinion at the meeting," Mr. Thome said, "was ' that farmers are now more coopera tive-minded than ever before." He : credited this to the fact that the gov ernment's various plans of enforced cooperation have shown the fanners some of the benefits of working to gether. ? Mr. Thorne reported that P. W. Peck, cooperative bank commissioner and one of the main speakers at the meeting, told the group that the FCA "is eager to assist cooperatives that are willing to help themselves." Another speaker, J. E. Wells, dep uty cooperative bank commissi oner, told of the progress and accomplish ments of the cotton cooperatives during the past 10 years. "Although they have never handled an ex- , tremely large per cent of the cot ton," Mr. Thorne quoted Mr. WellB as saying,' "the cotton cooperatives have set a pace for the private cot ton firms which has banished many of the old ills- in the cotton market ing industry." The main purpose of the New Or leans, meeting was to bring together leaden in the various cotton states for a discussion of the acreage re duction plans for 1935. A committee was appointed to study the plans carefully with a view toward mak ing constructive suggestions to the Secretary of Agriculture. MERRY MATRONS * Mrs. A. C. Monk graciously enter tained the Merry Matrons on Tues day afternoon at her home on Church street. Mrs. J. W. Lovelace, president of the club, called the meeting to order. After a short business session an enjoyable program arranged by Mrs. J. L. Horton and Mrs. 6. M. Holden was presented. Mrs. W. J. Rasberry gave an interesting account of the life and work of Wolfgang Amadou# Mozart after which Mrs. Haywood Smith rendered one of the compos er's most noted selections, Fantasia 12.

Launch Drive To Modernize Farm Homes A campaign to acquaint 6,250,000 farmers of the United Sattes with the provisions of the National Hous ing Act, which make possible the modernization of their homes and equipment, is being launched by the Federal Housing Administration, in cooperation with State and county farm organizations.

A small group of field men of the Farm Section of the Housing Administration will work under the Regional Directors, and in coopera tion with the State Associate Direc-. tors in charge of modernization, in their efforts to bring to the direct attention of all the farmers in the country the benefits which are avail able to them under the moderniza tion program. Contact Various States Letters have been sent to heads of farm organizations in each State asking for their aid in this inten sive campaign.
