bacco would sell well here when the

market last year averaged $25.38 for

The general impression is that dam
age caused by rains part of the time
and dry weather at other times might
tend to depress the average trifle,
but it is believed that there will be
very little difference in prices this
year from those of last. The crop is
smaller and the quality may not
measure up, taken as a whole.
But there is sufficient strength in
prices in flue-cured belts already op-

COUNTY TAX BOOKS
SOON TO Be READY
Collector to Get Them Soon
After Auditor Finishes
His Work

Tax books for Vance county for
the new collection year will be ready
for turning over to the tax collector
in ten days or two weeks, unless there
should be some unforeseen delay, it
was learned today at the court house.
Some delay in completing the annual
county audits may entail some delay
in the handing of the books over to
the collector, however.
The books have been completed,
with the rate computed, and at the
present time corps of workers are
engaged in writing the tax receipts,
which are already prepared when the
records are. turned over to the col
lector. But the audit of the books for
1887 collections has not been finished
and may not be for two weeks. I'm
til that is done, the records will not
be consigned to the collector for the
193S-39 year.
Under a new State law, the tax
books are turned over to the collec-
tor, or the sheriff in counties where
the sheriff does the work on the first
Monday in September Heretofore that
has been done the first Monday in
October. In Vance county, the sher-
iff was relieved of this duty a year
ago, and special tax collector as
sumed the responsibility.

HOPES RISE HERE
FOR LEAF PRICES
Eastern Carolina Opening
Attended by Many; Some
Farmers Sell

Prices paid for tobacco on Eastern
North Carolina markets at their open
ing Thursday, and for the second day
of the week, increased the optimism
over prospects for the season here.
When the years auctions of tobacco
began first in south Georgia July %,
and averaged around 25 cents, there
was feeling of hopefulness here,
which was intensified with the start
of the Border Belt season a week
later on August 4.
Tobacco sold on Eastern Carolina
markets is more like the choice flue-
cured grown and marketed in this
territory, so that a more definite idea
was had with the openings there this
week as to what might be expected
here when the season gets under way
on Tuesday, September IS, two and
a half weeks hence.

 The storm, of blizzard proportions, swept northern Wisconsin and the upper Michigan Peninsula slowing traffic in some places and halting it absolutely in other localities on ac- count of snow drifts.
 A snow fall of from four to five inches was recorded in many sec tions in Minnesota and Iowa.
 Highways are open in Nebraska and the Dakotas as snowplows are kept at work.
 Rain hit other sections, then freez- ing weather, accompanied by sleet impeded traffic in Illinois, Indiana and Missouri.
 Two traffic deaths are attributed to a short lived but intense snow storm in Chicago during the night.

arrival on April u Of IL thousand
bales of cotton from Calcutta, In
dia, which at 500 pounds to the bale
would mean that the shipment con-
sisted of about million pounds.
Similar shipments Of cotton have
arrived at New York and Boston in
recent months.
The whole thing works in an ev-
er-ending circle. The government
cuts down on the cotton acreage so
the cotton farmer increases his
corn acreage, which makes 1t nee
essary for the government to cut
down on the corn acreage in the
corn belt and compel the land taken
out Of corn production to be put
into alfalfa and clover and that In
turn will stimulate dairy production
in the corn belt. This Is the New
Deal program for agricultural re-
covery. I don't know what we In

increased dairy production in the

Received your statement the 9TH

why have not been in and paid you.
I have been trying to get old age
pension, but I have found out 1t Is
not an old age pension, but Farm
er-Labor and New Deal Pension,
because they get the lions share of
the money, old people should have
now. When the law was passed all
over 65 years should get $50 per
month. Then they found out they
had not made enough to pay it out
to the old people, so they appointed
an army Of Farmer-Laborites and
New Dealers, and they surely get
their share Of the bacon.
Now they claim the law states
that If you get old age pension, af-
ter you die it is all charged up
against your home, or whatever it
is you have in this world. Why
should a man try to build up q
home when they have a law like
that here? I will tell you why 6

$3.50 to $305 year, and when they
die they get 500 bones to bury
them. Men in my class get $50

$120. When he dies the law takes
his home and don't give any credit
for the taxes he has paid to the
state. Now why should man 81

I thought that all officers and
clerks were paid out OF the old age
fund, but when made out my last
application they charged me $1O0.
Do we have to go $3.50 on that?
Is it nice for old people to go to
