His talent has matured with the yearsj and today Ricci is called by ^usic critics, ‘‘an unquestioned m'aster of the violin” with audiences throughout the United States,-^ Canada, Mexico, and Europe hjilling him as a bril liant viruoso .fttist.

Deane of the Eighth Congressional Dis trict announced today that he has been advised by the Department of Agriculture that disaster loans have been authorized through the Farmers Home Administration to the cotton farmers of Anson, Hoke, Richmond, Scotland and Union counties. These loans are being made available to our cotton far mers as a result of severe damage to this year’s cotton crop, caused principally by continuous rainy weather and boll weevil infesta tion. Under this program of thd De partment of Agriculture, loans are designed to help an estab lished farmer meet the expenses involved in making another crop and continuing his operations when he has suffered a loss and is unable to obtain a loan from local banks or other sources. These loans are not made to re finance secured or' unsecured in debtedness or to compensate ap plicants for losses suffered in the disaster. They are "made to eligi ble applicants for production pur poses when, with the help of the loan, there is a sound basis for successful operations in the. fu ture. Fafmers in these five counties of the Eighth District who suf fered crop losses in 1950 and are unable to obtain operating loans from local sources may file ap plications for disaster loans at the county offices of the farmers Home Administration, which are located at the county seat._ Mr. Deane is anxious to see those cotton farmers who are in need of this financial help avail themselves cf **'•*' essistenca im- CRIMINAL SESSION COMPIRED; TRYING ONE CIVIL CASE TODAY UNION SERVICE thanksgiving day There will be a Union service of thanksgiving for the whole community at the Raeford Methodist church at 6:45 a. m. next Thursday morning.

Gatlin, Jr., chairman of the merchant’s committee of i^e Raeford Chamber of Commerce, announced yesterday that ar rangements had reached the stage where it could - be definitely an nounced that the Main street at least of Raeford would be lighted for Christmas this year. This will be the first time in quite a few years this has been done. The committee has made the necessary financial arrangements by accepting contributions from firms and individuals here, from the town, and with an appropria tion for the ■ project from ihe Chamber of Commerce treasury. ‘The county is also expected to make a contribution and ocners who may wish to do so may leave the money at the Bank of Raeford. The project will be carried as far as the money on hand will let it go, and it is expected to light the Main street from the Town hall to the comer at the Laurln- burg road. The ^xact length of time the lights will be on is also still undetermined and depends as well on the way the money runs. The comm.ittee will make calls on firms and individuals for help in stringing some of the fixtures in order to hold down the labor ex pense and have more lights. Directors A. M. McLean, F. C. McCormick, W. L. Thornburg and H. L. Morgan, secretary-treasur er, who constitute the executiv e committee of the Laurinburg Pr.)- duction Credit Association, have just returned from a district cit- dit meeting of association off’cials held at Florence, S.

H. L. Morgan said: “While the outlook for demand and prices of farm products is good, farmers should remember fnat the cost of production will conTTnue as high or probably higher than it was in 1950, and that good farm manage ment and practices are more nec essary now than ever.” The Laurinburg Production Cre dit Association serves farmers in Hoke and Scotland counties and', maintains offices here and in Laurinburg.

The schedule for the week of November 20th will be as follows: Tuesday, November 21: In the morning: Ashemont School,-Ash ley Heights Post Pffice, Brown’s The November term of Hoke county superior court came close to finishing up yesterday, with all jurors but 12 being dismissed and only one civil and no criminal cases remaining to' be tried before Judge J. Paul Frizzelle today. About the most interesting thing that happened in the session was Tuesday when the cases in I which Edwin (Bud) Johnson is charged with a deadly weapon with intent to kill were being dis.cuss- ed. This case came up fgr trial, there being two charges against Johnson, one that he assaulted Heston Rose and one that he. a.s- saultpd Howard Taylor. When it came up the bill, of indictment m the Rose case, in -which the fore man of the grand jury had certi fied it to be a true bill, wa- miss ing. Bills of ■ indictment are nor mally in the possession of the clerk but during court are usually pass ed about and looked at by attor neys and other interested persons. This one was evidently misplaced and the result was that the trial of Johnson was postponed untU the next term of court. It was at about this time that the law firm of Nance and Banington, who were representing Johnson aleng with local attorneys, asked the permission of the court to with draw from the case and got it. They stated that they wjtiU re turn all money they had received from Johnson. Solicitor Malcolm Seawell ask ed the Judge to set Johnsoa’r bond at $15,000 in the Rose case and $5,000 in the Taylor case. John son had been under a oond of $2,- 500 in each case. Judge Frizzelle left^he bond the same in the Tay lor case and raised it to $12,500 in the Rose case. Johnson made this bond and was released fues- day. Signers of^ the bonds mak ing up the $15,000 were Mitchell Epstein, Truman B. Austin, E. W. Posey, M. B. Maultsby, John L. Maultsby, J. T. Maultsby, J. H. Wright and B. D.|Wright. All signed in the amount of 31,000 except the Maultsbys. who went for S3.000 each. In the case in which Bethune Maultsby was charged with driv ing drunk on October 21, 1949, he was found guilty by a jury. Sen tence was si.x months on the roads to be suspended on payment of $200 and the costs. Maultsbv was placed on general probation for three years during which time he is to violate no law nor operate a motor vehicle bn the highways of North Carolina.
