O' ? ? ? I 1' ? I ?? ?!???? I Now is the Time For Candidates To Cinch Victory; Votes Will De crease. V Two important dates now appear on the horizon; Saturday, October 23 and Saturday, October 30. The first of these dates is the close of the "third period" of the subscription campaign. The other is the date closing- of the campaign. Extensions and the long term sub scriptions will play a big part in the campaign of the leaders in their race for the big prizes. They realize the 5-year subscriptions build their votes faster and as the campaign nears the close their friends are pulling hard er than ever before for them, which makes the 5-year subscription easier to sell than earlier in the drive. The race as the finish of the third period approaches is truly a neck and neck affair among the leaders. No one of them has any material ad vantage over the other at present and the amount of subscriptions that each is able to turn in Saturday night may tell the tale. These are the days that will tell the resourcefulness of a contestant. Here is where their courage upholds them and makes them fight, or the lack of it takes the stiffness out of | their knees and leaves them trailing in the dust. i Votes will pile up rapidly these j next few days. The living part of j the competition is now at hand and j while the leaders are on the same footing those who have the courage and fight will forge ahead while the third vote schedule is in effect. - _ There will be several winners in the Enterprise subscription campaign. Out of this array one will stand out as the winner of the first honors. This person will have established a record or achievement that may be pointed to with pride long after the race is over and forgotten. This is the week to do your best work, collect all your promises and forge ahead while the votes count most for your efforts. Candidates Must Not Halt If the contestants halt now for a moment?if they slacken up or let their enthusiasm wane?if they over look one opportunity to win they are taking the desperate risk of losing the big prizes already partially won and which really belongs to them. A candidate who fails to do his or her utmost during the remainder of this period?is certain to bring dis mal disappointment upon himself or herself as well as upon their friends who are naturally interested in their success as the candidates themselves. Better Safe Than Sorry A few more laps and the course will have been run. Only a short time remains to choose between vic tory and defeat?success or failure. Dont overlook your chances to win, and always remember that your ad versaries as keen, perhaps and as re sourceful as yourself are whacking very acute brains for the same pur pose. | Improve Your Chances Now Only a few days remain of this big third period. Votes are at their high est right now. After Saturday night at ten o'clock the third period will be history and votes on subscriptions will count for only half the value they do at this time. If you expect to finish on top in the race now is the time for you to show your best results. It behooves every candidate to make this week's work the best they have had in the campaign. With the rich prizes at stake, you cannot afford to lose a moment. What each one does between now and Saturday night, may be the answer as to who will win the $500. Hundreds of subscriptions and thousands of votes will be turned in to the office this week and every candidate should see that she gets her share; It is the long term sub scriptions that count for the big votes.

I Thousands of dollars are lying un- 1 claimed in the United States Treas ury because those to whom the money now due under the old age insurance provisions of Social Security Act have jnot filed claims for the amounts due I them, George N. Adams, Manager of the Rocky Mount, N. C., Field. Office of the Social Security Board, which serves this area, said today. A large number of workers in cov ered employment who have reached 65 since January 1, 1937, and the es tates or relatives of eligible workers who have died since December 81,1936 apparently are unaware the Social Se curity Board is making lump-sum payments now to those eligible per sons who file claims, Mr. Adams said. The same situation which exists in this section seems to exist throughout the country, inasmuch as up to Aug ust 1 the number of claims filed thro ughout the country for lump-sum pay ments totalled only a fraction of the 320,000 lump-sum payments actuarial experts estimated would fall due dur ing the calendar year of 1937, Mr. Adams said. I "In region IV, comprising JNortn Carolina, the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virgin ia, there have been 1,712 claims filed to date. This is only a part of the number of the claims the Social Secur ity Board believes are due and would pay if those eligible filed claims. "There have been 289 claims filed in North Carolina. The Rocky Mount, iN. C., Field Office has received 21 claims. The number of claims filed in 'other states in Region IV, up to the end of September, are: District of Columbia, 151; Maryland, 501; Vir ginia, 339; and West Virginia, 332. "It is probable that many persons to whom lump-sum payments are due have not filed claims because they do not know the Social Security Board is making s|uch payments now. They may be confused by the wide notice given the fact that payment of month ly old age benefits will not begin be fore January, 1942. "Another reason may be that the sums due to many persons are small. The lump-sum payment amounts to 3 1-2 per cent of the total wages of the eligible worker. For example; let us suppose wages totalled $1,000; the 3% per cent lump-sum payment would be $35; if wages totalled $100, the 3% per cent lump-sum payment would be $3.50. Many workers seem doubt ful about what is meant by "total wages". Total wages, under the Act, means the sum of all wages paid by all employers for all the time an em ployee worked in covered employment after December 31, 1936, and . prior to death or reaching 65, not counting wages over $3,000 from any one em ployer. Naturally the lump-sum pay ment due a man who reached 65 on January 3, after being "paid for one working day, will not be as great as the amount due the man who received an equal daily wage every working day since last December 31 till now. "Yet another reason* many eligible persons have not filed.-claims seems to be they do not know they are eli gible. Lump-sum payments now are >' due to two groups of persons: "First, to the worker himself who i has reached 65 since January 1, 1937, and who has been paid wages for work done as an employee since December i 31, 1936, and before he reached 65, in any employment which", is not sped i fically excepted under the old-age i benefit provisions of the Act; "Second, to the estate "of relatives ^ of a worker, no matter what his age, who has died since December 31,1986, Tobacco CntiMnc To SellHigh Here Season Marked As Most Successful In History; Farmers From a Wider Area Attracted 15y Ad vantages of Farmville Market Although a general decrease in bids on the better tobaccos has been reported on the Bright Belt this week, prices on the Farmville market con tinue high and offerings of 1,221,505 pounds, sold Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, (Thursday's figures not being available as we go to press) have been sold for $383, 719.77, at an average of $31.41. The three days' average was $6.13 higher per hundred pounds than that of the same days last year. Operations of the Farmville mar ket so far have tended towards mar king this season as one of the most successful in the history of leaf auc tion sales here, and the patronizing planters, who have come from the widest area ever attracted to this center, have been satisfid and boost ing customers of the local mart More than 18 million pounds of the weed have been sold here during the 45 days since the market opened, and many of. the sales have broken the record in poundage sold in one day. A total of $4,687,858.30 has been turned over to the farmers in ex change for this amount of tobacco at an average of $25.85 per hundred weight. The poundage figures for this sea son, compared with 15,577,257 through the corresponding date of a year ago exceeds those of 1936 by two and a half million, with the average being $2.95 more. 4-VtA cmflrtiol Q^UonfoffOQ ftf. ouaniig me opvvxai ou T uitwgvw v* fered growers selling here on Tues days, Wednesdays, and Thursdays Jt>y the Farmville Booster Club, this week were Blaney Spreight, R.

INDIVIDUAL INCOMES. LABOR DIVIDED. "PUMP-PRIMING" DECLINES. THE SPECIAL SESSION. LEGISLATIVE ISSUES. "CONCERTED EFFORT". NATION MUST CHOOSE (By Hugo S. .Sims, Washington Cor respondent.) * Figures taken form a treasury re port reveal that there were forty-one persons in the United States during 11935 who received an income of a mil : lion dollars or more. Their aggregate net income was $73,631,000 and they paid an average of $582.62 in taxes on each $1,000. In 1929, there were 513 individuals with incomes of s million dollars or more. The number dropped to 150 in 1930, 77 in 1931, 20 in 1932, 50 in 1933, and 33 in 1934. One person reported an net income from four or five million dollars in 1935, seven reported net incomes over three millions, two were over two mil lion, eight over $1,500,000 and 23 over one million dollars. A preliminary report made public last year showed 4,575,012 income-re porting individuals, with a net income of $14,909,812,025. Their total tax was $657,439,343. The number of returns increased 11.7 per cent over 1934, the net income 16.5 per cent and the tax 28.6 per cent. The leading sources of income were salaries, wages, commis sions and fees, which accounted for $9,900,578,000 of the reported net in come; the second largest source, divi dends on stocks of domestic corpora^ tions which provided $2,234,727,000, and business profits was the third source of deduction that accounted for the largest sum was "taxes paid," $596,559,000 and the next largest de duction was "interest paid," $503,730, 000. Following the convention of the American Federation nof Labor in Denver, John L. Lewis, chairman of the Committee for Industrial Organi zation, stated that a national conven tion of the C. L O. "in the near future as may be convenient" was pos sible, Lewis insisted that the C. I. O. was definitely out of the American Federation of Labor, with which it has not "association in fact," from which it has no cooperation, but, on the other hand, has its opposition. He insisted that in numerical strength, the C. L O. exceeds the A. F. of L., and made light of President Green's threat to militantly fight the newly formed labor group. One of the questions which interests business men is how business will re act to the Btoppage of Federal "pump priming" when and if the budget is balanced. The answer is seen, accord ing to a Treasury official, in the light of the experience of this year. For example, in 1936, the Federal Govern ment paid veterans $1,379,000,000 in cash bonus money as compared with $92,000,000 so far this year. In ad dition, relief appropriations for the present fiscal year have been cut by about one billion dollars and Social Security taxes have taken something more than *575,000,000 from payrolls in the present year. These items indicate that during 1937 the Government's "pump-prim ing" has been about $2,000,000,0000 less than the year before. In the face of this, business indicates little other than seasonal declines from 1936. Of course, banks have poured more mo ney into private business and agricul ture than in 1936, the loans for com mercial, industrial and agricultural purposes showing an increase of about' a. billion dollars over 1936. In considering the legislation for the special session of Congress, one naturally thinks of general farm legis lation which will be the first order of business and the wages and hours bill that died in the House Rules Com mittee and wonders what view.of the failure to enact such legislation at the regular session. In regards to farm legislation huge surpluses of cotton and corn and the threat of depression prices for wheat if there is a large crop, coupled with the general impression that the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act are not sufficient to meet the situation, suggests that there will be sufficient pressure upon Congress to result in difinite action. Wages and Hours legislation appar ently faces a much staffer battle. Al though passed by the Senate and re ported by the House Labor Commit tee, the bill is pending before the! House Committee ?ri Roles, which shows little intention of speeding its passage. Of course, a petition to take the measure from the committee, bu< it ia somewhat doubtful whether the (Continued on Page Five) Tim Thrnib Ti Wed Tonight Popular Couple To Hold iNuptials I n Perkins Hall at Seven-Thirty. I .?? One of the largest, most brilliant and beautiful weddings of the fall season here will take place tonight, Friday, at seven-thirty o'clock, .when Farmville's most popular and eligible young bachelor, Mr. Tom Thumb, (better known as Harry Humphrey Albritton, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ted L. Albritton,) will take as his bride, the charming, facinating, de-lovely, ador able and only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Walker, Miss Marianna. Among the sixty intimate friends [ taking part' in the elaborate wedding ceremony, to be held in Perkins Hall, will be the dignified deacpn, Milton Williamson; the "lovely to look at" Miss Dorothy Lucas, maid-of-honor; debonair Paschell Barrett, the best man; handsome Cedric Davis, who will give the bride away; and the "prtcious" Zeb Whitehurst as ring bearer. A choir of selected voices will render the bridal chorus from "The Rose Maiden," and "Sonny Boy" Gates will thrill the assemblage with his solo of love and adoration.

Statterfield, Mr. and Mrs, J. H. Hob good, Miss Annie Perkins, Miss Mar garet Lewis and Mr. Coates. Mrs. Elbert C. Holmes, president of the Woman's Club, and her special committees are acting in the capaci ties of matchmakers, decorators, ar rangers,- and chief "steerers of the occasion with Mrs. Haygood Smith as pianist. The bride and groom have been "over persuaded" by the above men tioned matchmakers to charge a small admission fee of 10c for school and 25c for adults, who attend the wed ding, but have refused to "keep the change" for themselves, specifying "but definitely" the Parmville Library as the beneficiary of the sum total collected. Secret Service Arrests Nop Wilson, October 20.?After the ar rest of a 24-year-old college trained Negro in Ahoskie earlier this week by agents of the United States Sec ret Service, it was revealed here today that agents had been investigating the recent flooding of Eastern North Carolina with counterfiet $10 bills. The Negro, Jacob Reed, was arrest ed in Ahoskie by L. 0. Padgett, head of the Secret Service branch in North Carolina. Reed was carrying around $100 worth of counterfiet money, it was reported here.
