Well-Known Wallace Cit
izen Blanchard And
Farrior's Bookkeeper

WALLACE, Oct. 12-Jerry G..
Switzerland, one of Wallace's
best known CITIZENS, heads the
staff at Blanchard and Far
rior's warehouse. He is chief
bookkeeper.
Switzerland has been with the
Blanchard and Farrior firm
since 1888. He is also Secretary
and Treasurer of both the Wal
lace Tobacco Board of Trade
and the Wallace Strawberry
Exchange. During the burley-
tobacco season Switzerland is
bookkeeper for one OF the lead
ing warehouse firms in Louis
vile, Ky.
J. o. Carr, also a native of
Wallace who detours to Georgia
during the Georgia-Florida to-
bacco season, is the man the
farmers like most to see at
Blanchard and Farrior's. He's
the payroll man. Carr doubles
in the same duties at the New
Duplin Warehouse.
Others in the permanent
Blanchard and Farrior staff are
Willie Bats, floor manager;
Fred Teachey and Wyatt Wells,
weighers; and Kenneth Blanch-
ard, who signs up farmers for
the Stabiliation Corporations
and then helps them solve any
problems that come up in con-
nection with government sup
port prices on their tobaccos.

But Wallace is in the center of
-one of the highest producing to-
-bacco sections to be found any
where in the flue-cured belts.
There are 100000, 900 pounds of
tobacco grown nearer Wallace
than any other market. Most of
this volume could be sold in Wal
lace if the manufacturers and
buying organizations provided
the purchasing facilities, in the
forms of additional buyers, to
handle it.

81 One outstanding ~tobacconist
who's made a study of tobacco
marketing for the past quarter
of a century recently made the
statement that if all the tobacco
grown nearer Wallace than any
other market were sold here,
three sets of buyers would be re-
quired to purchase one crop.
When one set of buyers pur-

It is variously estimated in in

Hears Reverand Oman

CHARLOTTE, Oct. u. - (P -
Bishop G.. Bromley Oman, of
New York, told the western
North Carolina Methodist con-
ference tonight that present ten
sion between Protestant churches
and the Roman Catholic church
from problems which + rooted
in what he called the Roman
Catholic attempt to be both a
church and a state.
contemporary tension can be
removed speedily" he said, IF
Roman Catholic leaders as
churchmen were to sit in
friendly conference and in the
spirit of Jesus seek to reach I'M
Outstanding worthy of followers
Of the Christ"
Bishop Oman said that "pre-
sent tension could be removed,
and Protestants earnestly desire
it's removal, if the Roman Catho-
lie church would %enunciate a
doctrine of religious liberty bas-
ed upon the principle of doing
unto others as it would be done
by.
wherever Protestants have
sought to restrict the religious
liberty of Roman Catholics in the
past or in the present, Amerl-
can Protestants stand ready to
do all in their power to end such
restriction, and heartily repent
any such action; but they call
upon the hierarchy to affirm its
willingness to repent and to
show works meet for repentance
in honest efforts to maintain
religious liberty"
Bishop Oman also discussed
the Protestant stand against the
use of public funds for sectarian
education.
American %protestants are I'M
alterably opposed" he said, "to
the use of public funds for the
support of s%ectarian education,
and will oppose the insistent eff
forts of the hierarchy system by
draining off large sums of money
to support sectarian education"
Today's conference program al
so included a morning sermon
by Bishop Clare Purcell of Char
lotte and a memorial service this
afternoon.
Goods Man" was Bishop Pur-
cells subject. He declared that
God is seeking ownership of
men, to make them his very own.
He seeks individuals to mediate
to the world the right spirit
and the right way of life"
Such a man, said Bishop Pur-
cell, has four characteristics. He
has a towering spirit, evincing
Gods miraculous influence in
the lives of people around him.
He is ALWAYS on the move, he
IS the true itinerant, and must
move with the message of God
on his lips, constantly going and
growing"
He is an incurable optimist.
In periods of crisis the bishop
SAID, God always intervenes. I
know there is a threat of war,
but it is human-born; it can be
set aside if we will retain our
faith and not become panicy.
Gods man has uniqueness of
W. must be men of the
Christ spirit"
The memorial service was in
memory of all ministers and nine
ministers wives who died during
the past year.
At the morning service 10
ministers were ordained as elders
and II as deacons.
The conference concludes to-
morrow with a business session
at which appointments for the
coming year will be announced.
