' . . ?Author Unknown ' * * '/ CAST A BALLOT The most talked-about subject a mong North Carolina farmers toda; is the new farm act. And perhaps the most discussei section of the act is that part hav In* o do with marketing quotas 01 ; cotton and flue-cured tobacco. Whet Congress wrote that provision inti ! the bill, it also cleared a way foi farmers to accept or reject a re strilcted production of these tw< crops. (In 81 of the State's counties, frov ers -will journey to community poll March 12 to express tlielr opinion o marketing quotas. If two-thirds o these' voting want 'restriction 01 . their ly:?8 tobacco and cotton crops then the quotas Will go into effec on this year's production. . In order to get a representativ cross-set t ion of the producers' wish es, then it will be necessary tha every grower of these crops cast hi ballot. If ,\ou don't vote and are 01 pes el to the provisions, the count Committee can place quotas on you production anyway if the uecessar majority want control. Anyoue who produced tobacco ) cotton in 1937. whether he be lant lord, operator, tenant, or sharecroj per, will he eligible to vote. BE AN ORIGINAL There are but few uses for carbo copies. As a rule carbon copies c originals are filed away in must cabinets, remain forgotten and som times become lost. The carbo cop never gets anywhere of consequence And so it Is with mannind. Thos of us who are satisfied to be carbo copies of other men seldom get an; where. The reason for this is easii understood. Men who originate gal confidence in themselves. Tne kow that .t fie ? are capable of accon t? pilshliig something.??Arnl?so the walk steadily onward. Copyists cannot gain confidence r themselves. This is because the have never plannctk never attemp ed. Over achieved. This does not necessarily mea that one must be a genius, an it vcuwi, h r-vivmioi. it nurii uui ineu thU one must present the worl with new and startling thoughti But it does mean that one shout top attempting to emulate sorn p- . character that he has taken a fane to. If we are to get, anywhere beyon , . a aaua^y filing cabinet we mui holld up confidence in ourselves. W muat learn that we have natura WliUet that will allow us to a< oompllsh worthwhile thngs. Briefly, we must stop trying to o the other fellow. We must start to K lac to develop a personality of on ass which satisfies our own idea f what we would like to be. j | ; > The Corrector ' . * , -> ' ; -'l| OiCIOK BY TAXATION ?IJbo Mh**( problem faoing the nation today,'* aaya Roger Babson 'la not the recession; not the Job tew; not the raUroade.

Coach Moss called practice Monday and about 30 -or 33 boys reported for practice. The bojs have set to work in earnest and the season promises to be a successful one. Practically, all of last year's team is back, and there are, several additions. The question of a catcher seems to be the biggest problem. There are several aspirants tor this position, Including Burton Bennett last year's rard(hitting third base man. (Better stick to that position, "Lula Belle").
