Quotas for Growers

With crop control for tobacco and
cotton a certainty for 1885, as the re-
suit of the overwhelming vote of the
growers themselves in last Saturday
referenda, the next step will re the
fixing of quotas for individual! grow
ers, ]. w. Sanders, director of the pro-
gram in Vance county, said today
Vance county went more than 81
percent in favor of control of both
crops, and enthusiastic cooperation OF
growers in this area is expected.
Quotas for individual states will be
allotted in Washington by the Agri
cultural Adjustment Administration
State authorities will then, in turn
make the allotments for the individual
counties of tho State. Local commit
teemen will fix the quotas for indi-
vidual farmers in the several counties.
Aerial map photographs made sew
eral months ago of this county will
be relied upon to some extent in fix
ing the acreage allotments for grow
ers. These arc now being worked out
in the office of the county agent in
the post office building.
All allotments are to be given TO
individual growers as soon as possible,
so that they may make arrangements
for 1888 paintings. 1t is thought that
all acreage will be available in ample
time for starting crops for this year.
General compliance will be checked
by committeeman who will serve TO"
all parts of the county, and the co
operation of the growers is expected
in paintings and in the marketing OF
crops.

CRIMINAL DOCKET
IS STILL CROWDED
Will Be Plenty To Do At
June Session, Despite
Three Held

In spite of the fact that three sep
arate one-waek terms of criminal
court have been held in this county
this year, the docket of Vance ST.
perior Court is still congested, and
there is sufficient business in hand
to occupy another full week, accord
ing to E. o. Falkner, clerk of the
court.
One of the three terms was a spe-
cial session ordered by Governor Hoey
at the request of the Vance Board of
County Commissioners, and was held
in February. Both that and the re-
gular term in January were presided
over by Judge Clawson L. Williams
Judge r. Hunt Parker held the re-
gular March term last week, by ex-
change with Judge Williams, and is
remaining here for the civil term this
week.
Clerk Falkner said Ia cases were
left untried at the end of last weeks
criminal term. There will be many
more docketed between now and the
date of the next regular criminal court
early in June, so that it is expected
to be impossible at that time to clear
the calendar.
Several outstanding cases that havs
,ee-. tried during the three separate
weeks of criminal court occupied sav-
eral days each, nd we're partially re
sponsible for the failure of the court
to clear up its ldsin-ss. But all c.
them moved as rapidly as possible.
Judge Williams will return here for
the June cour+. the fist week OF
which~is to be fo~ criminal cases, AMI
the second for civil matters.

NUCHOLS BURIAL
BE|NR|CHMQND
Noted Gaming Operator to
Be Inferred in Holly
wood Cemetery.

A final resting place in q Rich
mond cemetery where some Of the
souths leading statesmen and mill
tary heroes are buried was prepared
today for Carol Peyton (Nubby)
Nuckols, gaming operator, who ended
his life Saturday apparently to es-
cape = jail sentence.
Following funeral services at the
home Of his mother in Richmond, the
3s-year-old gambler was to be buried
at pm. in Hollywood Cemetery,
where such notables as Jefferson
Davis, president Of the Confederacy;
Gen. J. E. B. Stuart, famous cavalry
leader, and President James Monroe
are inferred.
Nuckols, who had beaten the rap"
on more than q score Of charges in
the last 16 years, was to have ap-
peared in District Court today to
show cause why bond should not be
revoked on a sentence OF nine months
to three years for setting up a gaming
table.
Killed Self in Apartment.
Perhaps realizing he had little
chance of further postponing execu-
ton Of the sentence, Nuchols shot
himself through the head with .32-
caliber revolver in his apartment at
1886 Connecticut avenue NV. His
body was discovered by his wife, Mrs.
Mary v. Nuckols.
Lawrence F. Pisani, who had been
found guilty with Nuckols in a gam
ing case last November. and, as a
result OF being arrested with Nuckols
in a gambling raid last Thursday, was
to have appeared in court on show
cause" order today, was granted a
day of grace to allow him to attend
the funeral.
Talk Of Successor.
Before the rites for Nuckols had
ever been planned whispers were re-
ported circulating in the Capitals
gambling circles indicating that a
successor to the man regarded by
some as tops" among the gamblers
already was established.
Confirmation of such a story was
impossible. however. Police, who keep
in close touch with racket activities.
said they hadn't heard anything"
and the gamblers themselves don't
talk aloud about such things.
