Statement Is In Response to Complaints Filed With

.ho senator has sent the statement to
tbc Daily Dispatch, with the request
emf if be published. Complaints re-
Caived from farmers of North Caro-
linn have been sent on to Mr.. Wallace
Nv BAILEY wrote, and the secretary
furnished the senator a memorandum.
which he worwarded here, and which
reads. in full, as follows:
There are several factors in the
anoarent dissatisfaction with respect

lotments which have been establish
cd but the principal one is that far
mers generally want to grow more to-
bacco than can be sold at reasonable
p,ices. This is a natural reaction to
the favorable prices received for the
last four crops of tobacco.
"Al available information indicates
that farmers desired to plant an acre
ace of flue-cured tobacco in 1888
which, with average growing condi-
tons would have resulted in a crop
of POO. 100000 to 3OO,OOO,OOO pounds in
excess of the present level of world
consumption of this kind of tobacco.

TAX LISTING TASK
ALMOST COMPLETE
Comparatively Few Left for
City or County; Some
Areas Finished

Most of the 1893 tax listing for Her
derson and Vance county has been
completed, it was learned today from
the agencies that have been in charge
OF the work since the first of April
At both the city clerks office. where
listing is going on for the city, and
at the court house, where the county
listing is being managed, it was said
today that most of the work had been
done, although there are quite a num-
Der of individuals and some concerns
that have not as yet given in their
possessions for taxing for this year.
No attempt has been made yet to
total up valuations, so that it is as
yet impossible to say whether the ag-
gregate will show a larger property
listing than last year.
Three township records have been
completed, however, and the books
turned in to Miss Dorothea Wood
lief, county accountant who is super
visor of the listing. These are Dab
ney, Watkins and Nutbush townships
Listing for Henderson township is
not completed but it was said by Mrs.
Alpheus Thompson, one of the two
list-takers for that area, that a great
many new names had been added to
the list in the township this year. One
type of property in one of the rural
townships had shown considerable
drop, however. Whether this would
hold throughout was uncertain, but if
it does it may cause county commits
sioners no little worry in the possible
necessity in such an event of a boost
in tax rates.
Stragglers have few more days in
which to list, and compilations will be
begun very shortly. The tax rate will
not be fixed until late summer, but
when property hstings have been
totaled up it will be possible to de-
termine the aggregate valuation upon
which a new tax rate will be based.

REGISTRARS SLOW
ON BIRTHS, DEATHS
Neither Henderson City Nor
Township Have Report
ed Statistics

Vital statistics tabulations for Vance
county were made public by the coun-
ty health department today without
any reports at all from Henderson
city or Henderson township, or from
Kittrell or Dabney townships. Both
births and deaths would probably be
shown double the figure given if these
areas had reported, it was stated
But. the monthly report for April
was made UP and sent to the State
Board of Health i'm Raleigh on the
basis of statistics in hand, it was ex-
planned.
AS it was, births were given as 81
and deaths as IL. Of the births, Is
were males and IL females, IL were
white and nine colored, and nine were
attended by doctors and is by mid
wives. Middleburg township reported
ten births, Sandy Creek eight, Will
liamsboro five, Nutbush three and
Townsville one.
Of the II deaths reported, seven
were males and five females, and four
were white and eight colored persons
Sandy Creek had four deaths, Mid
dleburg and WILLIAMSBURG three each
and Nutbush and Townsville one each.

MISS ROBERTS, OF
KITTRELL, PASSES
Dies Near Midnight After Illness
Continuing Over Period of
Five Months

Miss Virginia Roberts, S4-year-old
resident of Kittrell township, died at
her home in that section of the county
Monday night at II o'clock. She had
been ill five months. She was a
rative of Vance county and had re-
sided here all of her life.
Few facts could be obtained today
about her long life. But she had
been member of Union Chapel
Methodist Protestant church five
miles south of Henderson for many
years. Funeral services were held
there at $3.50 o'clock this afternoon,
with interment in the church ceme-
terry.
Miss Roberts was a sister of Lum
Roberts, of this county. She never
married.

IA large crop, high hopes, low
prices and heavy losses. Judging from
past experience, the value of a crop
equal to the 1888 national maretino
quota should be much greater than
the value of materially larger crop.
Specific complaints come, in MANY
cases. from farmers who began or in
creased production of tobacco in 1924
and 1887, taking advantage of favor
able prices resulting largely from the
operation of the farm programs. Some
farmers do not understand that the
acreage allotments which have Tseen
established under the Agricultural
Conservation Program are separat,,
from marketing quotas which will be-
established later under the Apricul-
tural Adjustment Act of 1888. Fur
ther, some misinformation has been
spread about these allotments. Most
of these questions doubtless will be
explained and cleared during the next
lew weeks as farmers obtain a better
understanding of the program.
Every effort is being made to com.
plete within the next few days the
review of appeals in connection with
the tobacco acreage allotments and
to correct such errors as have been
made in the determination of the al
lotments. 1t is likely that much of the
dissatisfaction and misunderstanding
Will be removed by this review work

STARKEY SEEKING
GUARDIANSHIP JOB
B. H. Perry Also Mention
ed for Democratic Coun-
ty Leadership

Gossip today was that r. D. Star
key was a possible choice for Demo
cratic county chairman when the new
executive committee organizes next
Saturday following the meeting OF
the county convention. He will sue
coed Brooks P. Wyche, who resigned
a few weeks ago when he became a
candidate for the House of Represen-
tativeS.
Mrs. Alpheus Thompson has been
acting as temporary chairman since
Mr. Wyche resigned.
The only other name mentioned in
connection with the county chair
manship is that of B. H. Perry. So
far as is known, Mr.. Perry is not
campaigning for the place, and it is
not known that he would have it if
offered him. But he has been men
toned.
Mr.. Starkey has been registrar in
the North Henderson precinct for a
number of elections, and has also
served in that same capacity in the
first ward in city elections, the terri
tories being the same so far as the
city ward extends.
The chairmen of the 13 precinct
executive committees constitute the
county executive committee. The sug-
gestion was made today that a county
chairman did not necessarily have to
be member of precinct committee
nor OF the county committee.
Inc executive committee will meet
atter the county convention SATURDAY.,
when delegates will elected to the
State convention in Raleigh next
week. 1t will select its chairman for
the next two years at that time.

 She thought of the woman in the blue dress whose claim on Jerry had been so mysterious and urgent. T hope he gets sick of her!" she said fiercely to Nuisance. "Sickw
 Nuisance only licked his ear, but an elderly man sitting beside Polly exclaimed, What say, Miss? You're sick? I'm not sur prised, the way this coach lurches about. Can I offer you piece of candied ginger to settle your stomach?"
 Why, yes, thank you," Polly replied; and since he seemed a well-intentioned man, rather father ly, she entered into a conversation with him about England's war pol icieS.
 i've just been wondering" she said, If any ladies would be al- lowed to cross to France?"
 If they're French, Miss, they'd probably be permitted to go home, and good riddance. That is to say, if there's a way for them to get home. If they're English and loyal they'd not want to go to France. Now would they?"
 T reckon not. But suppose, now, an American girl wanted to cross to France?"
 The man eyed her with sudden disfavor. Like all Englishmen, he hated to see the French and Americans getting together. If an American woman has the good fortune to be in England" he re- marked ponderously, "let her ap- preciate it. Let her thank Heaven she's escaped from land of bar barianS and rascals."
 Polly turned her shoulder to- ward him and made no reply, for she was offended. But presently she was moved to turn and say frankly, There are some Amer can rascals, sir. I'll grant you. I've got one in mind now. But homes home, and want to get there. So ask you sir, what would be the safest way for lone girl to cross the English Channel?"
 T doubt" replied the man, Eff there is any safe way to count on." He was John Bull personi- fled, respectable, intelligent, honor able and self-satisfed; he loathed Americans collectively, so it sur prised him to find that they could be individually intriguing.
 No, there's not safe way for any pretty friendless girl to cross the Channel in war time. She might meet gallantry, and again she might not. If it was my daughter had to do it, I'd advise her to make herself into an old crone."
 Thank you, sir" Polly said. T don't know why I didn't think of that myself"
 Along the f1agstone pavement in Lyme, Conn.,, an elderly man with seagoing gait made his way home, assisted by two homemade walking sticks. He had been to Pell'S store. His purchases were in his pockets, for he bought only such necessities as tea, sugar and coffee, and as little of these as possible.
 People spoke to him in friendly way, but absent-mindedly. He was only Trepid Chelsey, a retired skipper without a ship, afflicted
