RELIEF OFFICE NOT TO PROVIDE
BOOKS FOR NEEDY SCHOOL CHILDREN
At the opening of the school terr
in the County, it is desirable to call
the attention of the teachers to the
fact that it will not be posible for
the Federal or State Government or
for the County to take care of all
the needs of the school children in
each local community, i
all the needy children in the County
It is the policy of the County au
thorities to provide school clothes for
whose parents or guardians are not
able to provide same. It is also the
policy to provide a work job to every
needy person to provide money to
purchase text books.
There are no books free for any
person in Alleghany County. Now,
after the Relief Agencies have pro
vided a work job for needy people
to purchase books, there will yet re
main the families of widows and per
haps some orphan children who have
no school books. In this case it is
purely the obligation of the teachers
and other people of the communitj
to provide necessary books.
It must be clearly understood that
no local community can be free frorr.
providing for its own needy persons.
This is clearly a case where the teach
ers and patrons of each community
must provide the books needed ii.
widow’s families and for orphan chil
dren. This notice is particularly di
rected to teachers.

.FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
TO LEND MONEY FOR
Water system
Sparta may get a public water
system, provided that enough
citizens are interested. Mayor
Crouse has received communica
tions from the Public Works Pro
gram of the Federal Government
stating that money is available
for such projects. The Govern
ment will lend enough money to
finance the project. Thirty per
cent of the cost will be given
outright, and the remainder can
be paid from time to time.
A number of towns in the State
have already made use of Federal
money for public use. Recently the
town of Sanford obtained enough
money from the Government to en
large its water system. This project
gave employment to a number of
men.
It is thought that Sparta can in
stall a water system at a moderate
cost. With the prohibitive rates now
charged for fire insurance, the total
annual premium for such insurance
I on all the property within the cor
| porate limits would pay for such a
plant over a longer period of years.
With a water system insurance com
! panies could afford to lower their
rates very substantially on property
protected by a town water system.
FARM NEWS
BY W. B. COLLINS, County Agent.
There will be a party of farmers
from Richmond County at Sparta on
Monday, Sept. 25, to see any brood
mares, fillies, or mare colts the far
mers of this county have for sale. I
would like for all the farmers in this
county who have any brood mares,
allies or mare colts for sale to bring
them to Sparta on this day so we may
show them to these farmers and sell
.hem as many as we can.
Mr. Transou and I attended a cattle
meeting at Bristol, Va., on Tuesday
of this week. This meeting was called
for the purpose of organizing the
cattle producers of this section of the
country in order to market the cattle
in a systematic manner and to form
a strong organization for the purpose
ol looking after the interests of the
cattle producers of this section of the
United States. There were a large
number of big cattle men at this
meeting and they were all very blue
about the prospective price of cattle
for the remainder of the year. Unless
they change their minds and there is
some improvement in the price of
cattle within the next month, it looks
now like our best steers will have to
be sold for around 4c. per pound. We
hope that the market will improve
but there is not much on which to
base our hopes. I would not advise
our farmers to sell their steers at 4c.
per pound until they have to. How
ever, I would advise the farmers of
this county to move out any other
cattle they have for sale as fast as
they can get anything like a decent
price, and three to 3 l-2c. looks like a
pretty decent price right now.
We filled the trench silo on my
farm on Monday of this week. It took
three teams and twelve men approxi
mately 10 hours to fill the silo. The
corn from four acres of land filled
the silo about level full.

Pinev Creek Farm News
PINEY CREK, Sept. 12—The oat
project and demonstration conducted
by Carlis Lee Mitchell of Piney Creek
gave the following results: Fulghum,
36 bushels per acre, Swedish 20 bu
shels per acre, and Norton, 68 bu
shels per acre. These oats were plant
ed in the same field, same type of
soil, on tho same date and the same
cultural practices used.
This is the first crop of Norton
oats grown in this community, but
they looked very good in this demon
stration. They produce a short heavy
straw and a compact head. They rip
en earlier than the Swedish and later
than the Fulghum. The Norton is re
commended for early planting as they
are a cold resistant variety.

Reforestation Army Enjoys
Tremendous Appetite
A check-up made by the War De
partment for Robert Fechner, direc
tor of Emergency Conservation work
discloses that the Reforestation army
enjoys a tremendous appetite each
day. The figures show that the 300,
000 members of the Civilian Conser
vation Corps consume 1,042 ys car
loads of bacon, beef, coffee and other
foodstuffs every thirty days.
according to quantity this amounts
to 1,125,000 pounds of bacon, 5,625,
000 pounds of beef, 9,000,000 eggs,
5,625,000 pounds of potatoes, 2,250,
000 pounds of pork, 6,750,000 pounds
of flour, 1,125,000 pounds of coffee,
2,812,500 pounds of sugar, and 1,125,
000 pounds of onions.
Statisticians disclose that it would
require 281,250 chickens, 186,600 hogs
and 9,375 steers to furnish the beef
bacon, lard and eggs needed over a
thirty-day period.
Reports also show that the food
consumed in an atmosphere of health
ful out-door work has greatly im
proved the physical condition of the
members of the Civilian Conservation
Corps, to say nothing of building up
their morale. The average weight of
the men in the Corps has increased
approximately 12 pounds each.
Another item of interest is the sti- i
mulating effect which this consump-'
tion of food has had on trade, not
only in the wholesale markets, but
also in communities where the camps
are established. About 50 per cent
of the supplies are bought locally,
and in some communities the percen
tage is higher.
Thief Steals Bible
Bunnlevel, N. C., Sept. 11— The
pulpit Bible has been stolen from
its place in Antioch Baptist church
in Harnett County. It is not known
just when the thief perpetrated the
theft. Speculation is rife as to the
motive. Some say a hobo was hungry
and took it to barter for food. Others
insist that it was taken for personal
use. Anyway, the church folks would
be glad to have it returned to its
place.
UNIFORM RULES ADOPTED FOR REPEAL
ELECTION BY STATE BOARD OF ELECTIONS
County Board of Elections Names Registrars and Judges.

held on November 7th, 1933.

gates thereto.
3. Number of Delegates Each coun-:
ty entitled to have—Each county may1
have as many delegates as such coun
ty has members in the House of Re
presentatives, or a total of 120 dele

4. How Delegates to Convention
Shall be Nominated—Sec. 7 of the
Repeal Act provides that delegates
shall be nominated by getting a pe

the County Board of Elections thirty

ber 7th, 1933, to be filed in time. Each
petition must show whether the can
didate is for or against repeal. If
there are more petitions filed either
for or against repeal, than such coun
ty is entitled to delegates, then the
petitions containing the larger num
ber of signatures, equal to the num
ber of candidates which the county
is entitled to have on both sides, will
be accepted and placed on the ballot.
To illustrate: if a county is entitled
to two delegates to the convention,
and there should be four candidates
for repeal and three against repeal
who had more than the required
number of signers on their petitions,
then the two candidates who had the
largest number of signers for repeal,

peal, would be entitled to have their
names printed on the ballots, but only
two candidates in all could be elected.

patrons of the Zion School permission
to use the property for maintaining
a subscription school for one month,
in order for the patrons to ascer

who is expected to be in the County

Mr. J. M. Cheek, Jr., has bought

LOCAL CITIZENS ASKED
TO FORM N R A GROUP
Mrs. Lula M. Choate has received
a communication from Mr. R. R.
Lawrence, member of the State Re
covery Board, Winston-Salem, rela
tive to the establishment of an NRA
committee in the County. Most of the
other counties in the State have or
ganized and are pledging consumers
to support the Blue Eagle. The letter,
in part, follows:
“Due to the comparative small pop
ulation of your County I am going
to suggest that your committee there
be made a County Committee.
“I suggest that a meeting be held
immediately inviting representation
from all civic, business, and profes
sional groups of the entire county.
At this meeting a permanent chair
man and secretary should be elected.
After this action is taken write a let
ter to Mr. Hugh S. Johnson, Admin
istrator, Washington, D. C., advising
him that your local N.R.A. committee
is ready to function, and he will send
you necessary literature and instruc
tions from that office. Please send to
me, also, the names and addresses of
your chairman and secretary.
“Your committee will be expected
to endeavor to place the Blue Eagle
in every business establishment in
your county. You will, also, be ex
pected to put on a campaign urging
all individuals to sign the President’s
pledge card of cooperation. You will
then establish a mediation board to
hear complaints of violations of the
codes. This mediation committee will
attempt to compose differences that
may exist and in failing to bring
about an adjustment, you will refer
the case to me.’’
Two weeks have passed since the
NRA consumers drive was put on.
It is hoped that the business men
will take some action this \yeek, so
that Alleghany County will be among
those supporting the National Recov
ery Drive wholeheartedly.
