Mayor of Frisco Will Not Resign
 Calls Ruef a Liar.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1S.-Mayor Schmitz states most positively that he has not resigned and has no intention of doing so. Schmitz said:
 '"The statement that I have handed over the reins of the government to any person or commission is an un- qualified falsehood. I called the com- mittee of fifty together some time ago in order that I might take advantage of the wisdom and advice of the best citizens of the city in a financial and industrial crisis. I have not resigned nor yielded my prerogative to anybody, and any statement to the contrary is a malicious falsehood. There is no req

An Unusual Find.

Mr.. R. J. Allsbrook who lives at
what the older people of the town
know as the Capt. Gushing residence
on Ninth street, has made consider
able improvement on his dwelling
recently.
In tearing away some plaster!rg
and lathing he found a 25 cent bill
Of money Of North Carolina currency
dated at Raleigh, Sept. /, 1862. He
supposes the money must have been
deposited there by rats.
Mr.. Allsbrook also found deposited
in the same place some very old and
musty books. One was, Questions
on the historical part Of the New
Testament" published in Boston,
1920 by Cummings and billiard; the
other was Doball's Arithmetic, pub
lished 1923 in Ithaca N. Y, by Mack
and Andrus.
One of the hooks contained the
birth and death record of a Duggan
family dating as far back as 1913.
Mr.. AlIsbrook has not seen any one
who remembers anything about
Duggans in this community.

Peanut Growers Organize.

According to announcement in
last issue Of this paper, Messrs. S. T.
Stancell and Gilbert 7. Stephenson, of
Pandleton, N. c., were in Scotland
Neck last Saturday and organized a
branch Of the Peanut Growers As
ISOLATION.
Mr.. Stancell is the general organ
izer for the Association, and Mr..
Stephenson is secretary. They adj
dressed the farmers from the curb
ing Of the deep well in Main street
in front Of the hotel. A good num-
Der of farmers heard them and were
well impressed with the manner in
which these young men presented
the interest Of the Association.
MIR. Stancell said that farmers are
in almost abject slavery because
they have no voice in naming the
price Of their products. He urged
organization in order that they may
have some control over the price of
their products.
MIR. Stephenson showed how the
organization Of the peanut farmers
in several counties Of Virginia and
in few counties in North Carolina,
caused the price Of peanuts to adj
vance last year, and spoke earnestly
and eloquently for the organization
of the peanut farmers in Halifax
county. He said that Scotland Neck
had the distinction of being the
largest peanut market in the world.
That is, there are more peanuts sold
from carts and wagons in Scotland
Neck than at any other point. This be-
ing true, he urged that the farmers
organize for the protection of the
price Of this great product. Mr..
Stephenson showed how the peanut
cleaners set the price for peanuts
and drew the logical conclusion that
the only remedy against low prices
is the organization of the producers.
At the conclusion of these timely
and instructive addresses by these
earnest young men, they asked the
peanut farmers to give their names
in organization. A number of farm
ers joined the Association. Certifi-
Gates of membership were issued to
each one and local organization
was then effected with the following
officers: President, F. P. Shields !;
vice-president, E. E. Hilliard; secre-
tary and treasurer, W. E. Smith.
The first meeting will he held in
the Offices of the Scotland Neck
Bank at 3 o'clock, p. M, next Satur-
day, August 31st.
