The Grand Master in planning the
rally at Harrington on March IS,
certainly did look ahead when he
asked Crystal Fount to confer the
second degree. Did they accept. Well
I'll say they did. John Hallett says
"that is just what his ramblers
need" Fairfax, Of Wilmington, will
do honOrs to the first degree. Full

ANNOUNCE QUOTAS
BEFORE CROP VOTE
Floyd Says Acreage-Q Quota
Differences Will Be ELM
mated In 1899 5

College Station. Raleigh, Nov. 49,
Differences between quotas and acre
age allotments for flue-cured tobac-
co which existed in 1898 are expected
to be eliminated, says E. Y. Floyd,
AAA executive officer at State Col
lege, in explaining the procedure for
establishment of 1889 poundage quotas
and acreage allotments, now being
undertaken by community and county
committees.
The quota and allotment figures are
expected to be furnished all farmers
prior to the marketing quota referen-
dunn on December 10. s f
AAA committeeman have this year
definite figures which reflect the past
acreage and marketings of tobacco,
the land labor and equipment avail.
able for tobacco, and crop rotation
practices. These figures afford a good
basis for making such adjustments
from the 1888 quotas and acreage al
lotments as will result in equitable
quotas and allotmenls for 1889, Floyd
explained. aS
The procedure provides that upon
the recommendation of the commun-
ity and county committees, the 1888
quota for any farm may be adjusted
upward or downward by not more
than 20 percent. In recommending
acreage allotments the committeeman
will establish normal yield for each
farm and by comparing the acreage
allotment, the yield, and the pound
age, will make certain that the allot-
ments and quotas are comparable.
'The acreage allotments and quotas
for individual farms probably will not
be entirely satisfactory to every far
mer because of the existing desire to
grow more tobacco after the favorable
prices of recent years. But with in
creased knowledge of the AAA,. pro-
gram and with more information
available from which to base equitable
allotments and quotas, things should
run much more smoothly in 1885,"
Floyd concluded.

made regarding Robert Grady John
son, head of the prison division, but
was vigorously denied by Mr.. John
Eon.
Now, it is charged, members of the
commission are actively working for
one of the speakership candidates,
even going so far, in one instance, as
to tell a newly, and somewhat sur
prisingly, elected House member that
his county will be well taken care of
in the matter of highway construc-
ton and Improvement provided he
will write letter pledging his sup
port to the favored candidate for
speaker.
There will be argument that the re-
cent epidemic of prison breaks and
other troubles of PRISON officials has
been due to the fact that the division
has deliberately abandoned the sys-
tenn of choosing guards and other Of
ficers for efficiency in order to re-
turn to the ancient and unhonored
custom of making these posts even
the most minor ones-rewards for po-
litical activity and support.
