Cotton Road Is Formally Opened Large Number Local, State! and National Officials Join in Celebration In one of the biggest celebra tions of its kind ever held in this state the 14 miles of cotton road leading from Faison to Clinton was formerly opened ruesday when State and nation al figures joined with local dig nitaries of Duplin, Sampson and Wayne counties in a program in tended to commemorate the birth of a new market for cot ton which may again place this crop on the throne as king in the Southland. Starting from Goldsboro at 9:30 o’clock after brief ceremon ies there, a motorcade of visit ing and local officials sped down to mi. unve to continue tne cele bration, headed on to Calypso to be join by more celebrants and thence to Faison for an hour of speech making climaxed by a watermelon feast before turn ing onto the 14 1-2 miles of Cot ton Road toward Clinton where the well-planned and conducted celebration ended with more speech making and a barbecue luncheon. At both Faison and Clinton the entire program was broad cast over Radio Station WPTF.

When the next pay day rolls around for Coast Line em ployees that same farm lad will niton his pay check for the first time since entering the employ of the railroad. When J. R. Rose stepped out of the local station last Satur day night he brought to an end nearly 44 years of uninterrupt ed service as agent with the male railroad whose employ he entered before many of the Town’s young middle-aged resi dents had seen the light of day. For the first time he did not have to worry about having ev erything ready for the arrival of the early passenger train Sun day morning; he was a “free” man once more; free to go and come as he pleased. He had retired on a pension which will be sufficient to keep him com fortably for the rest of his life even if he didn’t have a private source of income from a farm or two and a few houses which he has purchased, since coming to Wallace. Since coming to Wallace in 1902—the first five years service with the railroad being at Dud ley, followed by 19 months at Grifton — Mr. Rose has seen many changes take place in what at that time was a “coun try cross-roads town”. Brick stores have grown up where be fore was dense woods; magni flcient churches and schools have been built; streets paved; a water system installed and (Please turn to Lott Page) Name Winners In !i Farm Essay Test Recent Duplin Farm Tour Brings Out Some Inter esting Papers Winners in the County Farm Tour Essay contest were an nounced this week by the Coun ty Agent as follows: J.
