(Continued on back page) After The News-Journal ran an item last week about Knox Watson being made president of the association of commissioners and accountants John McGoogan, county accoimtant, pointed out several errors in it, so we told him to write something that would straighten it out. He wrote the following.—^Ed. In your article on Knox Wat son in last week’s issue, you stated that 'he' was elected as President of the State Association of County Commissioners and Accountants. The Accountants have a separate organiation from the Commission ers of which J. C. Ellis of Nash County is the president. They meet jointly with the Commis- sioners, hence the confusion about their being one organziation. Watson served on a committee a few years ago to revise and re write the Constitution and by laws of the Association; but he had nothing to do with forming the original organization, as that was done 44 years ago, before Watson had learned to read and write. For a number of years, it was a small organization, but. it has grown to the point where it now includes practically every Commissioner in the State; and it is doing a good job in helping to give the State better local govern ment. Hoke is the only small County that has ever held the presidency o^ the Association Plan Yit)C District Rally Saturday P.- M. I ~ Officers and members of Young Democratic clubs of the Eighth Congressional district will start the-political pot. boiling Saturd.^y night at their District Rally to be held at the Southern Pines Country club, with Hubert Mc- Caskill, of Pinehurst, district chairman, presiding.

P. O. Lee for Mrs. Catherine Mc- Phaul Lowe, who died in Chapel Hill Monday afternoon at the home of her son, D. A. Lowe. She had been in declining health for several months and seriously ill for several d&ys. She was born in Hoke county Nov. 19, 1869, daughter of the late H. W. and Margaret Biggs Mc- Phaul. Surviving are a daughter, Mrs. W. L. Blake of Jaokaormlle; a son, D. A. “Lowe; three sisters, Mrs Evaline Waters and Mrs. Arthur Currie, both of this county, and Mrs. Sallie Miller of Henderson ville; two brothers, J. W. and F. F. McPhaul, also of this county; grandchild and two great grandchildren. 0 30 Called For Draft bams Mrs. J. M. Baker, clerk to the Hoke Qounty draft board, announced (this week that 30 men from the county had been notified this week to report to the inductic^n station in Fay etteville oni September 7 for pre-induction physical exam inations. The notification was receiv ed .from sta‘te selective service headquarters in Raleigh last week giving the number of men to be called in the first call for m^ from this county since the Korean war began.

INGATHERINGS About all the ch'urches in the county which are planning ingath erings have sent notices in and asked to have them on the front page this week. As the earliest of these is over two weeks off yet, they will all appear in a group next week and run from then until they are. held, as has been done in the past.

Hasty, Chairman of the Hoke County PMA Committee, says Cotton marketing cards will be mailed in the next few days to all producers not in excess of their allotipent. , TJhese cards will enable them to market free'of penalty all cotton owned by^ptoducers on the farm identified ''0 the serial number entered thereon, Cards should be signed promptly and placed with other cards or papers that are carried at all times. The buyer is required to record all market ing card serial numbers on his in voices or other records of each purchase of cotton as evidence that the cotton was not subject to penalty. All cotton which is not identified at the time of the sale as free of penalty must be taken to be excess cotton and subject to the penalty and lien thereon which is 15.5c per pound. It is for the producers protection, as well as for the protection of the buyer, that farmers are urged ■to use these cards properly. The record of the cotton produc ed are important in determining the yield for individual farms. For this reason, growers are ask ed to keep their copies of each gin bale ticket or sale of seed cotton until the end of the ginning season, at which time the pro ducer may be requested to furn ish a record of the cotton produc tion for his farm. If a producer is growing cotton on more than one farm he should be sure his gin tickets or seed cotton invoices show the farm on which the cot ton was produced. Janice Bullard, six-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Simeon Bullard of the old Red Springs- Lumberton Road, was killed in stantly at 7 o’clock Monday morn ing when she was struck by- an automobile almost in front of the family home.
