Sandy Sisk Shot And
Killed By Lowell Wall
Sandy Sisk, 32, was shot at
the home of his father-in-law,
Nat Martin, in Mayodan early
Tuesday morning. His nephew,
Lowell Wall, 20, stands charg
ed with the killing.
From what meager reports
can gather, it seems to have
been a brawl at the home of
Martin, which had lasted until
about 3 o’clock that morning, 1
but just what was the directJ
cause of the shooting has not
as yet been disclosed. It is;
charged that Sisk first shot at
Wall, but missed. Wall came '
back with three quick shots,
one taking effect just over the 1
left eye, one in the right breast j
and one in the left hip. Officer i
Jones soon arrived on the scene i
and had the wounded man tak-1
en to the Leaksville hospital,
but he died within an hour. j i
Wall hunted up the officer '
and surrendered, giving up his 1
own pistol and that belonging
to Sisk, he claiming that he!
shot in self-defense.
He was lodged i n Mayodan
jail, but waived examination
md was sent on to the county
jail to await further action.
The shooting created quite a
lurry in this section, for the
5:sks have played quite a prom
nent part in court matters. It
vill be recalled that something
)ver ten yeajs ago Chief Ziglar
>f Mayodan went to the Sisk
lome to serve some papers on
Sandy and liardy Sisk. A shoot
ng resulted and Ziglar was
rilled. The Sisk boys and their
!ather were tried for the crime,
rhe father plead guilty to the
tilling charge and was acquit
ed. Hardy and Sandy were
riven terms in the penitentiary
ind were paroled a few years
igo.
We learn that the Martin
lome in Mayodan has been the
icene of much disorderly con
luct and many of the citizens
lad predicted that serious trou
>le would eventually take place.
Sisk will be buried this after
loort.

A STATEMENT FROM
MRS. MEBANE
I stated when I voted for the
Committee bill that I was. op
posed to a sales tax, and would
not vote for one, only as a
mandate from my county. I
consider in the hundreds of tel
egrams and letters from every
part of the county, farmers,
merchants and professional
men and women, that I have re
ceived that mandate. A man
date, however, to vote against
a sales tax—any sales tax in
stead of in favor of one. My
county being a border county
withing two or three miles of
the Viriginia line, naturally,
any sales tax will be a hard
ship for the border merchants.
I fell it right to subjugate my
will to the will of the majority,
which according to every au
thority is democracy. I there
fore, shall vote against any
sales tax. i
MRS. LILY MEBANE,

USE GOVERNMENT LOANS
TO THE BEST ADVANTAGE
Some North Carolina farmers
who are using governmental
seed and fertilizer loans to fi
nance their crops this season
have been given the impression
that they must buy certain
brandy or materials in expend
ing the money loaned to them.
This is an error. According
to advices received by Dean I.
O. Schaub at State College
from the director of crop pro
duction loans in Washington,
the regulations governing these
loans do not contain any re
quirements or suggestions i<
borrowers as to the purchase of
any paiticular bran'! or manu
facture. Diector C. W. War
burton says borrowers are free
to use the proceeds of their
loans for any needed supplies
within the regulations, using
their best efforts to obtain the
best possible value for the mon
ey expended. It is not a part
of the, duty of the supervisors
to suggest or direct crop loan
borrowers to buy goods of any
particular brand or manufac
ture or to purchase supplies
from any particular source.
Mr. Schaub says this inform
ation should clear up this con
fusion at once. Tarheel farm
ers borrowing from the Govern
ment seed loan fund should use
the money to the best advan
tage possible, buying where the
best prices can be secured and
obtaining the best materials
possible with the money avail
able. The regulations do not
say that a borrower has to buy
a certain kind of nitrogen fer
tilizer, for instance, if he be
lieves some other kind would
give better results, or would be
a better buy for his particular
conditions.

Move May Start Release Of
Funds Tied Up In Banks
New York, April 19.—Wall
street, citadel of sound money,
widely welcomed the program j
of controlled inflation launched j
in Washington today.
While the steps taken by the
administration were variously:
interpreted and met with vary
ing degrees of approval, many
banking leaders asserted that
the vicious spiral of deflation
must be checked.
The rising price level would, ■
among other things, in the
opinion of one banking author- i
ity, contribute much toward the |
accomplishment of one of the j
administration’s objectives,,
namely wider adoption of the!
emergency bank act currency, j
“There are several billions of:
restricted bank deposits,” said
one financial leader, “which rep
resents money tied up because j
of frozen assets. The plan is to ;
thaw these assets through pledgi
ing them as collateral for loans
of the emergency currency.
“This would result in a free
ing of deposits and a large cash
item on hand at the banks. With
large liquid resources, the
banks will be willing to lend
more freely, which in turn will
create new deposits.”
People will want to borrow
for commercial purposes when
they see prices rising,this bank
er explained, and the govern
ment's measures will make the
banks anxious to lend. Inas
much as some 90 per cent of
the nation’s business is done
with bank credit rather than
currency, and ba> k credit cre
ates bank deposes, it was felt
♦ pat normal financing of a nor
mal flow of commerce was start
ed on the way.
Leaving the dollar unsupport
ed in the foreign markets, an
other banking authority said,
would undoubtedly prove a val
uable trading point for Amer
ica in the forthcoming econom
ic discussions with foreign
statesmen.
Will Build Silos In -
Stanly County
Along with the opening of
the cheese and butter factory
at Albemarle in Stanly county,
local farmers are making prep
aration to produce milk and
cream more economically by the |
digging of trench silos for pre-|
serving the corn crop this sea
son.
Approxiately 8p farmers have :
already made arrangement with
county agent O. H. Phillips to;
have 'such silos dug on their
farms, says F. R. Farnham,
dairy’ field specialist at State
College. Confidence in the new
type of silo was given through
the digging of one on the farm
of P. E. Miller near Richburg
last year. More than 200 farm
ers visited this silo during the
winter and examined the re
sults Mr. Miller was securing.
As a result of this demonstra
tion, two men have already pre
pared their silos and others will
dig just as soon as the rush of
spring work is over.
Mr. Farnham says that be
fore many years have passed,
dairymen will be using these
economical silos to feed their
cattle during 8 to 10 months in
the year. In this way, they
will not fear the hot, dry weath
er of late summer which an
nually cuts the grazing in the
permanent pastures.
“While many of our farmers
in North Carolina are discour
aged over the outlook for agri
culture, it is evident that Stan
ly farmers are not,” Farnham
says. “It is true that they are
not pleased with present condi
tions but they are taking ad
vantage of every opportunity to
improve their farming opera
tions. They are building their
soils with legumes, adding cat
tle and otherwise preparing to
take full advantage of the
market offered them by the re
cent establishment of the but
ter and cheese factory.”
Quiet Easter
Sunday was a rather bad day,
speaking from the weather
point of view, and those who
were so fortunate as to possess
Easter, finery were not permit
ted to display same. And those
who had planned pleasure trips
for the day'were forced to re
main at home. The congrega
tions at the local churches were
small. However, Monday was
a beautiful day and the pleas
ure trips planned for the day
before were, in most cases real
ized. Many of the local stores
were closed all day, while the
others enjoyed a haf-holiday.
Will Tuttle Suicides
Will Tuttle, who lived near
Dan River Park, suicided this
morning by shooting ^himself
with a shot gun. He was about
50 and leaves the widow and
five children. He has three
brothers, Ace, yless and Lee
j Tuttle, and two sisters, Mrs. G.
i C. Rierson, and Mrs. Hettie
jRierson, all of Madison. It is
believed that financial reverses
caused by the collapse of the
Bank of Stokes was responsible
for the rash deed.
After Hatching
Season, Pen Rooster
When the hatching season is
over, the flock is changed from
a breeding flock to a laying
flock and only fresh, infertile
eggs are desired by the trade.
“This means that the male
birds should be moved to sep
arate quarters,” says Roy S.
Dearstyne, head of the State
College poultry department. “In
doing this, however, the poul
tryman will consider his pros
pects for breeding next season.
All these male birds which do
not measure up to the owner’s
standard for type, color and
breeding ability should be dis
carded. If the birds are below
standard they will be a dead ex
pense during the period they
are producing no returns to the
owner. Sometimes, it is neces
sary to remove the males be
cause in-breeding has begun. In
such a case new blood will be
needed.”
If the owner does have some
desirable roosters, however, and
no adequat? place to keep them
it might be well to build sum
mer range houses. These are
constructed at low cost and will
answer the purpose very well.
In removing the male bird, it
is well'to keep in mind that
eggs from some of the hens will
be fertile 21 days afteir the
male bird has been removed. A
fertile egg will start incuba
tion at a temperature of 70 de
grees and in a few days the
embyro chick will begin devel
opment. Such eggs are objec
tionable.
Another economy measure to
put into practice after the
hatching season is over, is that
of spring culling. Feed costs
about $1.80 a hundred pounds
now and it will cost about 8 or
9 cents to produce one dozen
eggs. These should sell for at
least 14 cents a dozen if the
producer is to make a fair
profit. Therefore, Dearstyne
points out that every economy
is needed to make the flock pay
this summer.
Young Man Suicided
Edward Alcorn, 21, who liv
ed on Walnut Cove Route 3, be
came despondent Sunday night
at the home of his parents and
sent a load of shot through his
right shoulder. He was rush
ed to a Winston-Salem hospital,
but died from loss of blood. The
remains were brought to the
Knight-Ray Funeral Home in
this place and prepare^ for
burial. It is- said that the young
man become despondent over
the condition of his health,
coupled with a love affair that
had become entangled.
Splendid Program
The choir of the colored
school rendered a most delight
ful program at the Baptist
Church Thursday evening to an
appreciative audience. The wife
of the superintendent of the
school, S. A. Penn, had charge
and her . pupils demonstrated
that they really can sing. There
were choruses, mostly Easter
songs, soles and spirituals.

(Mrs. R. P. Mitchell)
The second Federation meet

room in Reidsville.
About 50 women were pres

made Reports from their clubs.
Several clubs sent their re

Kiwanis club hopes to have a
five day fair next fall with em
phasis on the fair intead of out
side amusements. They plan
to have clean amusements. The

advice on soils, seeds ana fer
tilizer for both. Farm w >men
are more interested in lawns
and shrubs than ever before.
The meeting closed by sing

Turn Time And Labor Into Cash
1. Canning, preserving, dry

. 2. Making cleaning supplies
when it is economical to do so,
such as making soap.
3. Doing baking, laundrying
or other tasks after comparing
costs carefully.
4. Preparing foods that
might be purchased already
prepared, such as salad dress
ing.
5. Raising as much as pos
sible of the family food supply.
Let s help improve um x«***»~>
our homes, and the community
we live in.
In a year when crops will
not bring much money it is a
good time to give increased at
tention to beautifying out farm
and home and enriching social
and community life. In every
neighborhood where no Grange
now exists, one should be or
ganized. Plans for improving
the local school, church, and
Sunday school should be work
ed out. The school and church
grounds and buildings should
be improved and planted.Homes
and highways should be beauti
fied. Club work for boys and;
girls should be encouraged- '
Family reunions and other agen j
cies of neighborliness should j
be looked after. The neighbor
hood should celebrate . the |
Fourth of July. Plans for hold
ing a community fair next fall
should be developed at once.
And for exhibiting at the com
munity fair and for our own sat
isfaction throughout the year
we should have some hobby.
Some one thing one the farm
we should try to have that is
the best in community—--some
thing to be especially proud of.
“Did he die rich?” someone
snce asked about a dead man.
‘No," was the reply, “but he
lived rich.” And any man.
‘lives rich” who is rich in
friendships and in service to a
:ommunity he loves and is al
ways trying to have his own
‘arm a little more fertile and
‘ruitful than the year before,
ris own home a little more beau
;iful, and his community a lit
:le better place to live in.
In a year of great uncertain
:ies, these few assured certain
:ies may yet make 1933 one of
:he most satisfactory and fruit
ful seasons of our lives.
