Weetlier Hittorian
Ibe year 1886 was noted for two
events: A hailstorm on April 30th,
ytirf an earthquake on August 31st.
A doud qame up from the north
west that afternoon, April 30th, about
t o’dodc and hail about the size of
hulled walnuts covered the ground to
a d^th of 5 or 6 inches. But a rain
poured for an hour afterward, and
'Washed the hail into low places m
rifts.
Hailstorms are not very extensive,
fortunately, but they are frightful
while they fall.
Old folks used to think hailstorms
never came in July or August, but
they do of late years. I never knew
a hailstorm to come in the morning
until 1935. Hailstorms came all over
Eastern North Carolina on the morn
ing of May 24th.
That earthquake on August 31st,
1886 was frightful. When the earth
quakes, houses rock and groan of
squeak, and you feel the ear is likely
to open its mouth and swallow you
and everjdhing else, you feel a fear
you have never had before. That
earth quake shook down chimneys
in this section.
That earthquake proper was off
the coast of South Carolina south
east of Charleston and that city
suffered quite a good deal of damage.
There was a thundercloud that
came up from the north that after
noon about 5 o’clock, and with it a
strong wind. It turned quite cold
Following the unfortunate bummg
of a farm home in North Carolina
and the loss in the fire of AAA
cotton stamps worth $50^ £. P. Floyd,
state AAA executive assistant at
State College, urged farmers to
observe every precaution against the
possible loss, theft, or destruction
of the stamps.
Stamps which are lost, stolen or
defaced beyond identification will
not be replaced, Mr. Floyd said.
Defaced stamps which can be identi
fied as legal stickers, will be replaced,
however, it was added.

The real test of farm practices is
the effect they have on farm income,

for the first cooler weather, and that
night we had a big fire. >
The earthquake came about 9
o’clock, and we did not retire for the
night until midnight. Many persons
in our section stayed up all night.
There were three shocks a few minu
tes apart, and another about 4 next
morning, and several slight tremors
during the next day.
POOLE'S MEDLEY
By D. Scoit Poole
I remembered well when a letter
came from battle-fields of Virginia
during the Civil War and it brought
news of death of a father or brother.
I was only three years old when the
war started and going on seven when
it closed but I recall grief and tears.
Of all the wars of which I have
read, I have never known of one in
which so many noncombatants were
killed. Germans drop ten-ton bombs
on residential sections of cities,
knowingly.
Because the early Christian church
had all things common, they were
called Socialists. This socialism had
its source in love. Nazism has its
sources in selfishness.
Neither England nor the United
States are warring armed and war
ring for gain. They are on the defen-
ive. The world knows England spent
too much time in appeasement.
MEWS and FACTS of Statewide Inhresi
There are National Socialists in
England, in the United States and
in every nation on the globe but
Nazism-is tinctured with Paganism,
which makes it the worst form of
Socialism in the world. Paganism is
in fact hero worship. It is all too im
practical to live by or put into prac
tice. It’s selfishness gone to seed.
“Why doesn’t the lamb follow ybu
to school any more, Mary?”
“What? at 50 miles an hour?"

For over two years this Committee has waged
its “Clean Up or Close Up" campaign to pro
tect the legitimate beer retailing business by
eliminating those few undesirables who use
their beer licenses as a cloak for unlawful
activities.
Law enforcement agencies and thb brewing
industry both recognize that no program caR'
be entirely successful without the approval
and active support of law-abiding citizens. i
When the United States Govern
ment lends aid to Great Britain, it is
hqLping;—defending—litself. While
England fights our battle we should
render assistance.
The war between Germans and
Russians is brutality intensified. Both
Germany and Japan have striven, it
seems, to see which could display
their greater, more intensified ruth
lessness and brutality.

iWe ask your cooperation in this work. Please
do not patronize beer outlets that tolerate anti

North Carolina has moved into
14th place among states in the number
of chickens raised on farms this
year, helped by a 20 percent in
crease over the past 10.-year average,
reports C. J. Maupin, extension poul-
tryman of N. C. State College;
This compares with a nation-wide
jump over the average for the past
decade of only 9 per cent, according
to figures just released by the Agri
cultural Marketing Service of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
A part of this large increase.in
production for the State is due to
the growing interest in commerical
broiler production. Federal figures
show North Carolina to be one of the
nine states now pro'ducing 5,000,000
or more broilers annually.
At the same time, Maupin said, Tar
Heel hens are laying more eggs. Du
ring July, it is estimaed that produc
tion hit 61.000,000, an increase of
3,000,000 eggs over the same month
a year ago. Similarly, production
for the first seven months of this
year soared 23,000,000 over the same
period in 1940.
Other states are marching along
in this Government-aided drive for
larger poultry numbers. The latest
Federal report says “the number of
chickens raised on farms in 1941 will
exceed all past records.” The number
of layers in farm flocks on August
1 wag the largest or the past eight
years, ——«—
Better feeding and management
practices boosted the average hen’s
production to an all-time high in
July, and despite record-breaking pro"
duction egg prices have continued
to be the highest in 12 years.

Hunger is something few of our
people know anything about. Foyr
hours ater a hearty meal they often
say “I’m hungry.” I have read of
people who went for days on less
food than you ate for breakfast.

My father was imprisoned in Elm
ira, New York in July or Aug. 1864,
and the authorities would not allow
him to write. Mother did riot know
whether he was dead or alive till
he fled at the gage in April, 1862 at
daybreak in the morning. He did not
come into the house until he had
gone to the creek, bathed and changed
clothes. His confederate uniform he
had on when captured was all he
had had.
I remember how kind and good
people were just after the war. The
confederate army passed our place,
but they ate a lot we needed' a little
while afterward. Most of our neigh
bors were good, but some took ad
vantage of their neighbors’ hard luck.
My aunt gave her dead husband’s
Swiss watch for three bushels of
corn, but that made bread until
potatoes' came. I saw people eat Irish
potatoes and butter for breakfast
and nothing else,
“Tommie, wouldn’t you like to have
a nice cake with five candles on it?”
“I think I would rather have five
cakes and one candle on it.”
“Mother, Billy’s penny fell down
the well.”
“I’ll give him another.”
“You needn’t bother. He still has it
in his hand.”
Customer: “It’s tough to pay 50
cents a pound for meat.”
Butcher: “Yes, but it’s tougher
when you pay 25.”
