I : Pilgrimage Held Memorial Day Wallace Chapter U. D. C. De corates Confederate Graves at Rockfish Cemetery An impressive ceremony, sponsored by the David Henry Williams’ Children of *he Con federacy, of Wallace, was held at the old Rockfish Church Cemetery in honor of the Con federate dead of this section. The pilgrimage started from the Williams’ cemetery, where the grave of David Henry Wil liams, was decorted. From this cemetery the procession con tinued to Rockfish Church, where several graves ot Con federate soldiers were decorat ed with red and white roses, the U. D. C. colors, a United States flag, and the Confeder ate flag. The following graves were identified and decorated. Samuel James Boone, Charles Judson Williams, Ira J. John son, Alfred Charles Ward, Jac ob O. Carr, Gabriel Boney Carr, Dr. McL. Graham and B. J. Boney. As a tribute to these once brave “boys in gray,” the fol lowing poem, written by Mrs. Sarah A. Heinzerling, of States ville, was read: •* Let Us Remember So bitter and so gory, war Forgotten? No, remembered They fought with courage, and they died For honor, home and duty: Let years to come add to each shrine Fresh tributes of rare beauty. Let mountains lend their maj esty. Unchanging stone fit places, For sculptures that shall long endure Of loved though vanquished faces. Forgotten be each war-time grudge, Remember them, oh never; long Shall be the tragic story, Of Southern soldiers in that live In Southern hearts forever! But let brave deeds of heroes ...ii_____ute._■ . -.. ■ ■■ .*■— TEST FARM HOLDS STRAWBERRY DAY (Continued from Page 1) through the day. The first group arrived before 8 o’clock and the last after six. Growers and extension experts from points as distant as Cleveland and Rutherford counties were in attendance, as well as many local growers, county agents and agricultural workers. All told approximately 250 intense ly interested people were shown through the berry fields of the Test Farm. Placards and charts placed in the fields enabled the visitors to better understand what was going on, and supplemented the lectures given as to the results that were being obtained. The packing of U. S. No. 1 fruit was demonstrated at the packing sheds, and a handsome exhibit of packed berries was on dis play showing tlje Blakemore berry and the leading new se lections. Although there are over 200 varieties of strawberries grow ing in the test plots, Dr. Bear ing, Assistant Director of the Test Farm, said that it was very possible that all but two or three of the most promising will be discarded. Two cross es, however, came in for espec ial mention by the farm experts in attendance. They were ber ries No. 669 (cross between Blakemore and Fairfax) and No. 419. Of these two. No. 669 seems particularly promising, combining, as it apparently does, the much desired quali ties of form, color, flavor, and shipping properties. The berry is a bright red color and of firm texture. It was pointed out by Dr. Dearing that the Blakemore, which was developed at the Test Farm, has all these re quirements and until a much better commercial variety is introduced will undoubtedly continue to be the leading ship ping berry of the Wallace sec tion. Dr. Dearing went on to •ay, however, that this did not mean that there are not many other varieties in this section Which are perfectly satisfac tory for certain purposes and growing in home gardens. Irrigation of strawberries was also discussed with the vi sitors, and while this method of growing berries is not practic ed in the trawberry belt to any extent, Dr. Dearing informed his hearers that irrigation ap plied to several acres of ber ries at the Test Farm last year rsulted in a 140 per cent in crease in the yield. While strawberries were the all-compelling topic of the day, the visitors were shown many other experiments in plant breeding, forage work and ber ries in genral. JUDGE ALLOWS BOND FOR OPERATORS DEATH TRUCK Bond in the amount of $500.00 each has been set for James Fennel Wright, Thurman Stall 1 ings, and Dave Huff ham, Jr., young colored boys who were charged with murder following a fatal auto-truck collision near Wallace on the night of May 2nd, it was learned this week. Judge N. A. Sinclair, of Fay etteville, before whom a hear ing on a habeas corpus pro ceedings was held in Kinston on Tuesday, set bond for the youths, none of whom had been able to give it late yestrday af ternoon. Wright, Stallings, Huffham, and Raeford Kornegay, it will be remembered, were the oper ators of a stolen truck with which an auto, accupied by Ma con Cavenaugh. Jr., and Charl ton Carr, collided on Route 41, resulting in the death of Cav enaugh and the Kornegay boy. Patrons of Williard School Protest Move to Penderlea (Continued from Page One) a new school which was never built. It was the unanimous opinion of those present that this money should be used to ! rebuild the Willard plant and 1 a committee, composed of H. McN. Johnson, Leland English, j D. Q. Smith, Charles McGowen, , and D. P. Southerland, was ap pointed to confer with the Board of Education relative to the matter. It is understood two members of the Board were contacted today and were fa vorably impressed with the plan. However, no definite ac tion is expected to be taken on the matter until the Board meets as a whole. An alternate plan was also discussed in the meeting last night. Under its conditions the entire Willard school would be sent to Wallace in the event no building was provided. Sit-Down Strike Spreads To Duplin Strawberry Fields; Receive 30 Days On Roads (Continued from Page One) ter for themselves as well as other growers if permitted to pass unnoticed, Mr. Williams notified the authorities, and a plan was worked out for ar resting the negroes in a group, so that all of them could be taken. Accordingly, Mr. Williams was told to inform the negroes that they would be returned to their homes Monday afternoon, and to be ready to leave then. Late Monday afternoon all of them showed up and were load ed into a truck. In the mean time Chief Boone, Deupty Wil liams, and State Patrolman D. O. Pierce, supplemented by H. B. Dunn and Graham Smith of Wallace, lay in wait near the Williams' place. No effort was made to capture the negroles until the truck in which they were all riding had proceeded down the highway for aboijt a mile, when the officers and ci tizens rode up, halted the truck and made the arrest with lit tle trouble. The driver of the truck was then instructed by the officers to turn around and head for Kenansville, where they were placed in jail. Tuesday morning the entire group of pickers were arraign ed before Judge Blanton, and the sentences followed. In the case of the negro child, a mem ber of the group, he informed the court that he would have gone back to work on Monday, but was prevented from doing so by the older heads. He was, therefore, brought back to Wal lace to be returned to his home in Forsyth County in the next load of pickers headed in that direction. 1 | While conditions in connec tion with the strike reached alarming proportions at one time, the arrest Monday after noon was not without its hum orous side. Chief Boone relat ed that when the officers mak ing the arrest rode up behind the supposedly Winston-Salem] bound truck, the occupants were as happy as larks and singing at the top of their voices, be lieving they were on their way back home. But, the chief furf ther said, their happiness was rudely interrupted, and if the occupants of the truck let out one single peep on the ride to Kenansville it was not heard by him.

DUPLIN FARMERS AID IN PROGRAM Reynolds Says Fne Cooperation Assured in Soil Conserva tion Program It was indicated this week by County Agent W. D. Reynolds that the farmers of Duplin County would cooperate prac tically 100 per cent with the 1937 soil conservation program of the U. S. Department of Ag riculture. Under the program for farm ers this year, certain amounts are paid the farmers cooperat ing for planting determined ac reages to soil building crops such as clover, soy beans, etc., instead of so-called money crops as tobacco, cotton, and the like. These payments are| higher if the farmer turns these soil building crops back into the ground, usually one-half be ing allowed if the crop grown is harvested. As one Duplin farmer put it the program to farmers is something like an insurance policy without any premium to be paid. Want Ads , FREE!
