ROCK SPRING ENDS
ITS REVIVAL SERIES

A series of revival meetings begun
last Sunday at Rock Spring Baptist
church closed last night, with inter
est at high tide and a congregation
packing the church. The pastor, Rev.
s. L. Morgan, was assisted by Rev. ].
III. Saunders, of Reidsville. The visit
ing preacher is declared to be a young
man of remarkable eloquence and
force, and his preaching drew large
crowds in spite of the heavy rains and
bad roads. No other preacher in q
number of years, it was said, has
made more favorable impression on
the community. Two services were
held each evening beginning at Z
o'clock, with a ten-minute intermis
sion, and the new arrangement is de-
clared to have proved quite satisfac-
cory, large congregation being pre-
sent each evening at the first service.
A number were received for bap-
tism, and it was announced that the
baptismal service will be held on the
third Sunday morning in August pre-
ceding the Sunday services.

To GIVE GROWERS
MARKETING CARDS
Preliminary Selling Permits
Planned For Those Sell
ing Early

Preliminary marketing cards will
be issued growers who wish to sell
tobacco on early markets before they
get their "final' marketing cards, E..
Y. Floyd, AAA executive officer at
State College, Raleigh, announced to-
day.
although we are working two
shifts in the office here at State Col
lege, and are getting help from the
AAA office in Washington" he said,
I'VE won't be able to complete the
tremendous task of calculating quotas
for all Individual growers in the State
before the first markets open"
Arrangements are being made for
county AAA offices to issue the pre-
liminary cards to those growers who
have been given tobacco acreage al
lotments for 1888. These preliminary
cards will permit them to sell linn
tied number of pounds from each acre
without paying tax.
Growers VINO wish to sell leaf be-
fore they get their final cards may
secure the ~ eIl1l1lldly Cd1uS Wy VIII
ing to their county AAA offices.
BE sure to mail your letter so
that it will reach the county office at
least day before you go after your
card" Floyd emphasized, "as it will
take some time to check up on the
allotment and prepare the prelimi-
nary card"
The rest of a growers 1888 quota
will be given him on his final card
when all the necessary calculations
have been made and the correct fig
ures can be prepared.
The marketing cards permit grow
ers to sell up to the full amount of
their quotas without tax. A tax of
three cents pound or one-half the
sale price, whichever is greater, will
be imposed on leaf sold in excess of
quotas or without cards. Growers
who do not have enough tobacco to
fill their quotas this year may trans
fer the remainder of their cards to
other growers, Floyd added.

At Park Poisoned
In Brush Cutting,

A number of men employed in
the WPA project of improving
and conditioning Kings Daught-
ers' park have had to be treated
for severe cases Of poison oak
suffered in the past week or two

species of poisonous vine, it was
learned today.
FOremen of work crews carry
with them at all times first aid
kits, and part of that equipment
consists of a fluid that is applied
to the skin Immediately poison
oak is discovered. 1t dries it up
Immediately and stops itching.
In the first aid kit, too, is an anti
dOte for snalxe-bite, although for
tunately none of that has occur
red.
In clearing away underbrush
along the branch that runs
through the park site, the men
have encountered a very thick
growth of weeds, vines, roots and
the like. But the banks of the
stream are about cleared and the
park now presents an entirely diff
ferent appearance from what it
did when the work was begun sew
eral weeks ago.

costumes or the sound equipment, or run up the curtain.
 The management and the singers agreed, however, that the show must go on. It went on last night one of the strangest performances in the 80-year history of Gounod's opera. The only prop was a grand piano, which the performers rolled onto the stage while the audience watched. The piano also provided all the accompaniment. Faust ws1s Franco Perulli, who had been 1u years with La Scala, the Milar: Italy, opera. He wore a business suit. Marguerite wore dinner dress. Her role was sung by Jose pha Chekova, formerly with the Prague State Opera. Mephistophe- less gave his performances in street suit. He was Des1o Ernster, who has sung at the Bayreuth Wagner ian festival under Tcscanini.
 It was feared that the illusion would be lost completely when the curtain could not be lowered at the end of the first act and the au- dience would be left facing de- serted stage. That crisis was safe- ly met, however. The audience cheered for more, 0o the psrfQE- nance continued through the kl.li threeshouE pro1
