VOLUME X PUBLISHED EVEBY SUNDAY ft THURSDAY Golf Course Takes Shape With Five Greens Completed Country Club President Hughes Hits First Bali On Course Last Week. I With five greens and one fair way already completed, work at the new Country Club - Golf Course seems to be going forward under full steam. Progress has been going for ward rapidly during the last few days, City Manager James C. Har ris said this morning. He ex pects at least one other fairway to be completed by the end of this week. The wall being constructed at the entrance to the club grounds has been completed, he said. Rocks are being removed from the fairways and used for the wall. There will be several horses at the club for rent all day Sun day, Harris said, and those de siring this form of sport may en joy it then. Plans for the com plete club now call for several bridle paths to be laid out and this sport promises to be one of the features of the new set-up. Dr. J. H. Hughes, president of. the Roxboro Country Club drove the first ball on the new course last week and is very enthusiastic over the prospects of getting in a little play on at least five holes at the local course before snow flies this winter. ij.. Grass will be sown as soon as the seed arrives, the city manager said. About 30 men headed by Golf Pro Robert W. Ashley are at work on the project now. Floyd Outlines Tobacco Quotas t AAA Official Explains Me thod By Which Allotments Are made. A brief outline of how tobacco quotas were determined for this year has been issued by/E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive officer at State College, for growers who have been asking how the quotas were calculated. Among the things taken into consideration, he said, were the marketings from each tobacco farmers during the past three years, the acreage diverted from tobacco under the AAA and agri. cultural conservation program, the total crop land on the farm, thn acreage planted to tobacco tips’ year, the number of famili es on the farm, and the number aad size of curing barns. The farm’s normal yield per acre, based on the past three years, was also used in the calcu lations, and adjustments were made for abnormal yields due to insects, disease, drought, and other conditions over which the farmer had no control. Since the normal marketing for a farm was figured on a basis that included 1935 yields, the highest on record, and also included the acreage diverted under the AAA, the quotas for 1930 were calculated at less than the normal marketing figure. Provision was made that a farm with a three-year average of 3,200 pounds or less would not be cut, and no farm producing more than this amount on an a verage for the 1935-37 period would be cut below 3,200 pounds. The four percent increase in the State quota was used to in crease the individual quotas of growers who had been cut more ttan 70 percent under their normal marketings. VtxmmMt* 5. G. Winstead Pleads First Case After 25 Years Attorney S. G. Winstead hadn’t pled a case in court for 25 years. That is, before last Tuesday’s session of Re corder’s court. One of the tenants on his farm appeared without coun sel before Judge Newton on a charge of possession for the purpose of sale. Mr. Winstead, in the courtroom at the time, rose to his feet and for the first time in 25 years addressed the judge as Your Honor. He threw the case on the mercy of the court and sub mitted a plea of guilty to possession only, which was accepted by Prosecutor Fitz Davis. Judge Newton, recalling the “good ole days,” heard the arguments in the case and fined the defendant $lO and costs. Although Mr. Winstead considers this a moral vic tory, he still is not contem plating returning to his legal practice from which he re tired a quarter of a century ago. - o New Drainage Pipe To Prevent Water Overflows Will Run From Main At Central Service To Natural Drainage. To relieve the drainage problem on Main Street, an 18 inch sew erage pipe is being laid from Main Street to a natural drain age point back of the Central Ser vice station. This pipe is to be connected with the storm sewer there on Main street. According to City Manager James C. Harris, this will be of great help during heavy rains in turning some of the water off Main street. This, he said, will eliminate the water hazards which have been threatening several stores along Main street whenever there is a heavy rain.
