Mr. Broughton, a native of Baleigh, is a member of an old and honored family of this State and a prominent lawyer of Wake county. Keenly in terested in family history and deep ly concerned about the family unit to day as having a .vital influence on public affairs; indentified with pub lic-spirited measures of his county, city and State, serving in the State Senate at one time, and in constant touch with matters that have' to do with shaping the destiny of the State and Nation, Mr. Broughton will doubtless bring to the people of this section a message of timely interest and one which will be founded on constructive ideas. The meeting will convene at 10:30 Friday mornings in the New Major Benjamin May 'Chapter House, by special invitation, of the bohrd of gov ernors, and greetings will be brought to the Reunion by the .Chapter regent, Mrs.x Henriettn'Spoye Williamson, who is a^d^lttty^ant of one of its most prominent branches. The opportunity ,<*f visiting tms handsome ^hfeuetare-, built along colonial Knes 4W ^Stated on ground, sacred spot to j both 'ty^iia^i^ and Tysons, is well worth the trip to Farmville, to say nothing of the splendid program and cordial welcome, which will greet vis itors.

The genealogy report, always anticipated by those attending these Reunions, will be given by Miss Tabitha De Visconti, and another outstanding event will be the round table discus sion, which will be led this year by Dr. J. Y. Joyner, of La Grange, the Reunion's "grand old man." The memorial service wilt be conducted by Miss Carrie Smith. Serving as a delightful ballast to the program will be the reading of original poems by Mrs. J&nie Tyson Hall, of* Greenville* and a musical program rendered by Mrs. J. W. Joy ner and Mra, J. L. Shackleford. The business session will precede the call for dinner, which is to be a basket affair served in the banquet . room at the Chapter House, and is usually a replica of 'that of Thanks giving Day. Large numbers of descendants of both families throughout the State have already notified relatives" here of their intention to be present, ted the occasion has every promise of J being one of the best hi Its history. Printed invitations have been- pent only to out-of-town people as this is truly a community affair and Farm ville kinsmen and friends are expect ed to attend and assiat in. this a day long rempmbered by alL ? ^ 1 11 ? * . !?1 1 _ . v ..

I-a ___ Last Friday morning the 20th an niversar of the signing of the armis tice which terminated the last world war was observed in the local school when two members of the Farmville American Legion post attended the chapel exercises. Supt J." H. Moore introduced Mr. J. W. Joyner, who is a past American Legion commander, to the students and he in turn intro duced Mr. J. H. Payk>r, who is also a member of the American Legion, and Mr. Paylor then delivered the main speech of the day. During his speech Mr, Paylor men tioned the futility and waste of war describing in length the cost of the last war and how little it had accom plished. To illustrate this point he mentioned the dangerous situation in Europe today because of the arms race and said that the situation was practically the same as that which existed in 1914 just prior to the great war. He went on to tell of the hard times that some of the last war's vet erans were going through today and appealed to the public to help them. In %eepLig with the day, school was dismissed at 12:30. This enabled the teachers to attend a meeting held in Greenville by the Northeastern dis trict of the Carolina Teachers Asso ciation. This meeting was held on the campus of the Eastern Carolina Teachers College. Many nationally known educators delivered speeches to this group of teachers. On Friday afternoon and evening two general meeting of all the teachers were held and on Saturday morning' special de partmental meetings were held for each different kind of teacher. All the teachers said that they had benefitted much by attending the meeting and that they had gained some new ideas which they expect to use in their bwn rooms soon.

Japanese soldiers threw a bottle of carbolic acid at Dr. Logan Rents, veteran American missionary when he remonstrated against their efforts to expel Chinese refugees from St. Michael's Church in Wuchang, ac cording to messages from Hangkow today. The missionary, who is chairman of the House of Bishops of the Chinese Episcopal Church and bishop of the Hankow Diocese, was not hit, but was jostled in later fisticuffs during .which the American flag was knocked down. United States consular officers im mediately protested to the Japanese consulate general. Japanese authorities took the pro test under consideration but refused permission for the American consular officers to visit the church in Wu chang. Bishop Roots had gone to the church to investigate reports of at tacks on Chinese women by Japanese soldiers. - The incident occurred Sunday but was not revealed here until foreign radios came through from Hankow today. Veteran Missionary. Bishop Roots earlier, had been en dangered when the Japanese took Hankow last month. He was cut off in Wuchang, one of the three cities in the Hankow district, for more than 48 hours. Bishop Roots, born in Illinois and graduated from Harvard in 1891, has been in China since 1896. The incident was one of a series involving Occidentals and the Japa nese occupied the Hankow area from which they are driving on Chinese armies to the south and west. Provincial divisions forming the front lines of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek's new Chinese defense po-i sitions in the' Hengyang triangle of Hunan province today were with drawing from Chengsha as Japan's northern armies swept southward. mm m Farmers To Help Fix Leaf Qeetes . \ Washington, ? The agriculture adjustment administration announced Tuesday it would follow recommenda tions of farmer committees in fixing 1989 individual acreage allotments and marketing quotas for flue-cured tobacco growers. J. B. Hutaon, assistant administra tor, said both the acreage allotments and the poundage quotas probably would be announced before December 10 when producers vote oh whether they want the quotas! The quotas, restricting a farmer's sales, will,' be mandatory if two thirds of the fanners taking part in the referendum vote favorably. Acre age allotments are voluntary, but benefit payments depend upon com pliance. Utile Change.

Cobb of preene County announced here today that one of two myster ious disappearances of local men In the last few weeks has been solved with the finding yesterday of the body of 38-year-old Henry Edmund son in Contentnea Creek near the ball park here. _ Edmundson had been missing since Sunday a week ago and authorities throughout this section had been searching for him. Sheriff Cobb said that* 22-year-old Norman Mitchell, son of Mr. and Mrs. Chester Mitchell of Jason Township, has been missing for the past three weeks. An inquest held by Coroner F. A. Moseley in the death of Edmundson brought a verdict of "suicide," Sher iff Cobb said.' The man apparently drowned him self soon after he disappeared on November 6, Sheriff Cobb ^aid, and the only clue as to the time of day of the suicide was a wrist watch on the arm of the dead man, the hands of which pointed to 12:10. Money, keys and several valuable papers were found in Edmundson's pockets. His body was badly decom posed. It was found floating in the creek early yesterday by Clarence Walston and Arthur Stocks, Greene County men, who had gone down, to the creek to. fish. The disappearance of tne two men, Edmundson and Mitchell, has caused much interest and speculation here. After he disappeared from his home, Edraundson's car wad recognized in front of. a furniture store h.ere several days later. . Authorities said that if had been parted there since the day had been parked there since the day Mitchell left his home some three weeks ago on a motorcycle with little money in his pockets and has not been heard of since. Authorities have been investigating his disappearance since then. No reason* either for <the suicide of Edmundson or the disappearance of Mitchell, has been discovered by Sheriff Cobb or has been advanced by the families of the two men. Funeral services were held for Ed mundson at the home yesterday and burial was in the family cemetery. Edmundson leaves a wife and two children, Welfare Body Te MMeetief K. T.

Last Thursday afternoon Coach Harrell'a eleven lost another heart breaking close decision to their rivals* This time it was to the Windsor High School by the score of 14-6. This made the third time this year the Farm villa boys have lost a game .-by the margin of one touchdown. The first half of the game was hard fought and sprinkled with many fine plays but due to the brilliant 'de fensive tactics of both teams the ?core at the half-time was a 0-0 tie. On two occasions the Fafmyille boys were pushed back within-their own ten yard line but both times they were saved by the splendid tackling of their husky guard, Lester Turnage. The first touchdown of the game was scored in the third quarter when a punt was ^locked. Due to the fact that the ball was centered-jus^ a lit tle bit too high Linwood Brock was a little hit slow in getting the ball in position to kick it and a Windsor player broke through the line and blocked it before it was two feet away from Brock's toe. As it bounced to the rear of the kicker, Moore, the left guard of the Windsor team, grabbed it and ran forty yards -for the open ing score to give his team a 6-0 lead. Hoggard then added the extra point with a plunge through the line. ? ? -- ? ' ? ? * " j - j FarmviUe then quicxiy scorea a touchdown in return when Brock car ried the ball over the goal line from the five yard line but they failed to tie the score when Teele's attempt for the extra-point was unsuccessful. In the closing period after receiving a | forward pass from a team mate Sproil 'ran SO yards for the final touchdown of the game and Harden added an ex tra point to make the final score 14-6 in favor of the visitors. Today the local boys will meet Snow Hill on their own grounds next to the community swimming pool. In their last two meetings Farmville ' has defeated Snow Hill both times but the Snow "Hill lads have been steadily improving since the beginning of the year and it promises to be a real bat tle when the two teams meet at 3:00 p. m.

Stormtroop or ganization, angered by American in dignation over the Reich's anti-Semi tic > drive, today warned that German 'Jews will goffer farther penalties if ; anti-Nazi agitation oontinoes in the (Jniied States. The controlled Nazi press loosed attacks on "the purposeful politi cians of Washington" as United , States Ambassador Hugh R. Wilson prepared to sail for home jto report to President Roosevelt on German's new wave of measures against Jews. Wilson, who leaves Berlin Wed nesday night and sails from La Harve, France, aboard the S. S. Man hattan Thursday night, visited the foreign office late today and bade farewell to Foreign Minister Joachim Von Ribbentrop. It was estimated that 50,000 Jews have been arrested throughout great er Germany in the last .few days, nearly 8,000 of them in > Berlin, and that many of the prisoners, axe in fluential and wealthy Jews'* Held as hostages. "We shall use Jewish hostages systematically, no matter how shock ing some people may find it," the. newspaper "Dae Schwarze Korps," official organ of the S. S. guards, announced. "Woe to the Jews if another help er is paid or incited by them and raises his murderous hand against a Geramn! Not one will answer for a . murdered or wounded German, but all!" The Jewish principle of "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" will be elaborated upon, the Storm troop organ said, and the Nazis will take a thousand eyes and a thousand teeth for every German eye or tooth., Meant "Pamu" Seriously. To this the afternoon newspaper "Zwolfuhrblatt" added: j "Apostles of humanitarianism and the purposeful politicians' of Wash ington?how could they foe otherwise ?are paniQ-tricken over the dean division of Germans and Jews effect ed in Germany. "They hammer and curse with such effect that soon it might be too much for us.- This p Washington should let itself be told! Or has one failed correctly to understand Dr. Goebbels' words that, any new cam paign will be a bad service to the Jews of- Germany? -h "If so, then it should be repeated as a warning which should not'be taken lightly because it is meant damn seriously." j Britain, like the United States, came in for a heavy share, of the vio lent press attacks and newspapers referred bitterly to British "atroci ties" in India, Palestine and South Africa.- , " Das' Schwarze Korps also de nounced Germans who express sym pathy for the Jews, saying: "What they and their congenial original teachers, the Jews, deserve is a good punch op the nose.
