Dabney School
Hearing Held
By rizzelle

At 4 o'clock this afternoon no
ruling had been made in the Dab
ney school litigation being heard
before Judge Paul Frizzelle in Ra-
leigh, according to telephone ad-
vices at that hour.
Vance County Board of Educa-
ton is seeking an order from the
court to forbid Dabney citizens or
others from interfering with the
board or M. H. Randolph, whom it
elected principal of the school, in
opening and conducting the affairs
of the school. which has not started
its fall term yet because of the con-
troversy over the principal. The
Dabney committee has reelected
r. A. Scott, principal for the last
eleven years, for the current term,
and the county board refused to
acquiesce.
At 4 o'clock the complaint had
been read by attorneys for the school
board and had been answered by
counsel for the group of Dabney cit
liens. w. H. Marlborough, of defense
counsel, for the Dabney group, was
speaking, offering an argument on

open after the election regardless OF
how the vote goes, but do you have
any idea that tobacco will bring any
price comparable to even the low
price prevailing before the close? Can
you afford to sell your tobacco 1or
an average of eight or nine cents?"
He warned that hopes for war
boosted prices are vain, at least be-
fore 1941 or after a long war, and
pointed out that there is precedent
of the last war for this prediction.
He exonerated the government Of
charges of coercing the farmer into
voting control, though he repeatedly
came back to the theme that the gov
ernment has flatly and definitely re-
fused to do anything whatsoever to
help in this years emergency unless
and until control is voted
Here is where hundreds Of farm
ers and others differ with the gov
ernor. They contend that there never
was a more obvious example of big
stick welding than this refusal to
be even mildly interested in aid for
this years crop except conditioned
upon a favorable control vote.
There probably hasn't been a bet
ter, more easily understood and eff
fective plea for control, however
than a pair of very short, crisp SEN
tences in the gubernatorial address
''There is no answer to stubborn
facts. We cannot argue against g
reality"
With this the farmers are likely to
agree and vote for control as the
only answer to the stubborn facts
that no other possible and practica
alternative will get them out Of the
desperate situation in which they
now find themselves.
