POPPY DAY TO BE OBSERVED MAY 25th Saturday, May 25th, will be Poppy Day in Farmville. On that day the women of the Farmville Unit of the .American Legion Auxiliary will dis tribute little red poppies on the streets to be worn in honor of the World War dead. The observance here will be part of the annual na tion-wide observance of Pappy Day,' during which millions of Americans will pay tribute to the memory of the war dead by wearing Memorial poppies. A large corps of volunteer work ers -will be organized to carry out the distribution of the flowers. The poppies which will be worn here have been ordered from Depart ment Headquarters of the American Legion Auxiliary at Lexington, N. C. and were made by the families of disabled World War Veterans at Oteen. In exchange for the poppies, the Auxiliary women will ask each per son to make a contribution for the welfare of the war's living victims, the disabled veterans, the widows and the fatherless children of veter ans. This money will be used entire ly in the welfare work of the Legion and Auxiliary, the bulk of it in the work of the local Post and Unit FOUR PERSONS INJURED IN 3-CORNERED WRECK Wilson, April 15.?Alton Earl Askew, of Farmville, is held for the April 30th term of court on a charge of reckless driving and assault with a deadly weapon growing out of the wreck of three cars and injury of four persons at Ballard's Cross Koads Sunday night. The injured, James Askew, Mil ton Shirley, Coy Gates and Joeh Dixon, Jr., all occupants of the As kew car, were rushed to the local hospital for medical aid. They are suffering from minor fractures, cuts and bruises. Askew is charged with running into the rear of a car driven by Mrs. Preston Elks as she started to make a left-hand turn after giving sig nals. A car parked at the side of the road was also involved in the wreck. Mrs. Elks sustained shock and slight cuts and bruises. Prepare To Plant, Using: Good Seed The season is at hand for the planting of farm crops in North Carolina and alert farmers will see that they have a plentiful supply of good seed on hand. "The recent continuous rains over most of the State will delay plant ing somewhat but will give farmers the needed opportunity to get all of their planning seed in readiness," says P. H. Kirne, plant breeding agronomist of the North Carolina Experiment Station. "Usually it will pay to reclean cotton seed as well as the cowneas, the soybeans and other seed now on hand. Only the best seed should be used because poor standh mean poor acre yields. Tests made of cotton seed, especially from the eastern part of the State, indicate a low percentage of germi nation. I would suggest that every cotton farmer give his cotton seed a germination test before planting." Also before planting, Mr. Kime urges that the land be harrowed and well prepared for the seed bed. He says this preparation work is aa im portant as cultivation later. Thoee who are in doubt as to the moat suitable varieties of cotton, corn and other crops to plant in their immediate sections can obtain the results of variety tests from Mr. Kime and it may be possible to yet obtain planting seed of the adapted varieties. Mr. Kime says farmers in tire southeastern portion of the State who may want to bog-off corn and. soybeans this fall should plant Jar vis golden proltte corn and Herman soybeans for this purpose. These two varieties mature early and pro vide an excellent source of feed for 'ygH THE SAVIOUR'S BIRTH m*Bj articles W. JASON TURNAGE ??? , ? i ?: Having known the deceased for near a quarter of a century, I wish to gather a few of the graces that [made hie life so serene and weave [them into a chaplet to place about | the neck of youth, that there may be [to them a Rosary. Mr. Turnage was most industrious. I He ate not the bread of idleness; [For more than forty yean he regu I lariy rose early .and wended his way [to his place of business. It is said [that the villagers set their watches [by the daily walks of Emanuel Kant, [in the Prussian province. So regu jla? and punctual were Mr. Turn [age's habits, that one might almost [have done the same by him. His [long and useful life was blighted by [only a few months of sickness be-! j tween his regular work and his | demise. - ... [ Mr. Turnage was a clean man. {Clean and neat in his dress and [person. He always dressed tidily, [not as "a Lord Chesterfield," but J becomingly to his person and sta | tion in life. This carefulness of his [appearance was but the expression [ of the inner life; for he was clean in [his language and thoughts. Jesus [said, "Out of the abundance of the [heart the mouth speaketh." If his [ conversation flowed from within, [then it came from a pure fountain; [for in all my association with him I never heard him use an unchaste I word nor speak disrespectfully of any human being. Nor did I ever bear him impugn the motives of any one. In an atmosphere so charged j as ours with this deadly fault, it is heartening to find one soul not [blighted by its poison. He was a man 01 genuine and sincerity. To day much that is sheer veneer and patronage passes for culture. A philosopher has said, "One's character can be read in the purchasing of a toy." It is then the little things done, when in the ordi nary course of duty, that tell what we are, not when on parade. Char acter is truth, honesty and reverence in our being flowing out through ! every deed and word. If this will I pass for culture, he was most cul j tured indeed. I have observed him i as salesman in the store many times 'as he waited on the elite and hum ble. His manner, service and con versation was the same to alL He wrapped his packages just as neatly j (and all his work was very neat), and passed it over the counter with the same courtesy, when serving the humblest of God's creatures as when serving those more pretentious. He was a citizen of the first mag nitude; a husband devoted to his family; a father patient, loving and trustworthy and a believer in the higher destinies of life. He loved his family ardently, la bored willingly for their support, and when the "Day was done," he loved the easy chair under the eve ning lamp with his paper and sur rounded by his family. No bright j lights nor gay parties held the charm for him that the soft, quiet ease and peace of "Home Sweet Home." When day faded into twilight, you found I him at home. | If I have understood the teaching of the Master anywhat, He came to 'build into men real character, and jhere He had not failed. "The ele ments were 90 blended in him, that you might say to all the world, there stands a man"! Such a life cannot die. He is not dead, but just gone <m to a more glorious country, and to be with Saints made per fect. ?C. B. MASHBURN. The number of cotton contract signers in Pasquotank County in creased 200 percent this year over 1934. Tobacco farmers of Greene County received $170,000 in tobacco parity checks during the past week. THROUGH STATS * CSAPITOL KEYHOLES (Continued from pag? one) ticea In the Ninth Congressional Dis trict privately express the hope that Congressman R. L. Doughton ' will decide to remaig the presiding of ficer of the House Ways and Means Committee instead of running for Governor. So many potential can didates are getting ready to run for the Doughton Congress seat, in the event he quits it, that the cau tious are fearful of results in the Ninth District They believe that too much competition for the Demo cratic nomination might cause splits that would throw the District to the Republicans. CHERRY BLOSSOMS?Represen tative R. Greg Cherry, of Gaston, chairman of the House finance com mittee, fared better than Senator Newman in the revenue scrap. Cher ry is all but a announced candidate for, Speaker in 1937 and a lot of the boys are saying he can have it on a silver platter. Representative Mor phew, of Graham County is also a strong candidate for the Speaker but the Cherryites say he would not oppose the Gaston lawmaker. These campaigns for Speaker start early and are carried on while you sleep. TROUBLE?The forcast is that heavy seas are ahead for Senator R. R. Reynolds when he runs for re election in 1938. The latest candi date to stick his head out is Repre sentative Tam C. Bowie, of Ashe County. Judge Bowie is known in these parts as the dictator of Ashe and the man who led the economy bloc in the Legislature of 1933. But the Ashe man has not been quite as strong this session and a lot of his fellow members are saying nice things about, him. It's not much trouble to find a Senator or Repre sentative who claims to have discuss ed the Reynolds situation witn Kep resentative Bowie. j ILL WINDS BLOW GOOD?Re cent investigations of conditions in the State's prison system are likely to be productive of some good after all. The attention of State as well as that of the Legislature was focus Jed on conditions brought about large ly by reduced appropriations of 19S3. | This General Assembly gave the pri son a better break in order to cor rect the evils of its predecessor and placed a stamp of approval on the plan to fire-proof the fire-trap cen tral prison in Raleigh. It also ap pears that some improvement in the parole system, will come as a result of better legislative knowledge of prison conditions. I WORKING?CoL T. LeRoy Kirk | Patrick and John S. McRae, both an nounced Mecklenburg County can didates for Governor, have been working around legislative kails re cently and it is probable that they may have asked some of the boys for a little assistance. It is notice able that the State Capitol during sessions of the General Assembly is a favorite stamping ground for vary ing degrees of candidates.
