County's IS Leaf
Allotment S Cut

Columbus Countys tobacco allotment for 1856 will be
1O6O less than in 1854 Clyde Wayne ASC chairman
revealed today.
The allotment for 1866 will be % 967 acres as COM
pared to 4027 in 1854
Individual allotments will be given during the early
part of January according to Wayne However farmers
may determine their 1855 allotment by taking the
1854 acreage and multiplying it by 95. The 1866 acreage
is five percent lower than in 1854
The overall state cut is the that applied to
Columbus County. The North Carolina allotment 1866
will be compared to 695995 1854 Although
North Cardinals allotment exceeds that of all other fue
cured tobacco producing states combined Tar Heel farm
ers will still have the lowest leaf allotment since 1850
This cut. in fue-cured tobacco acreage allotmnets
was brought about by decline in domestic consumption
Of cigarettes, reports reveal.
The flue-cured tobacco carryover into 1866 will be
the highest on record-1915 million pounds. Domestic
usage of fuecured tobacco through June of this
totaed 778 million pounds, about six percent than
last year.

Tabor Boy Sings
With Orchestra
AT Chapel Hill

A popular young vocalist from
Tabor City is making his mark
in the entertainment world while
a sophomore at the University of
North Carolina.
Jimmy Rogers. son of Mr.. and
Mrs. r. r. Rogers of Tabor City,
recently accepted the vocalist spot
with Jim Crisp's Orchestra at
the University.
Well known throughout Col
lumbus County for his many ben
eft performances, the young sing
er is majoring in radio at the
University.
While vacationing this past
summer, he was employed at ra-
dio station WTAB in Tabor City.
A big step in the talented sing
er's future includes an appearance
on Arthur Godfrey's TV Talent
Scout program. Nothing definite
has been established on this move
however, a fellow student has
first bid on being the talent scout
in Jim's future appearance.
There will be no problem get
ting Jim on the show if he would
just consent to 60 to New York
with me-" said the student.
Several weeks ago, Jim made
a successful bid for the vocalist
spot in Roy Coles orchestra but
so far has been unable to attend
any of the out-of-town engage
ments due to conflicts with his
classroom schedule.
Local folks will remember
Coles orchestra from the 1858
Yam Festival.
There is little question that the
local boy has Il . ability to make
the top grade . the entertain
ment field-it's just a matter OF
time.

Mayor Carter Cites
Pressing Need For
Second Fire Truck

with the burning of the old
school building last week, the
pressing need for new fire truck
in Tabor City is more wildly i'm
pressed on the public than ever
before" w. Horace Carter, may
or. said this week.
THE town commissioners have
wanted to buy a new fire truck
for several months but the finan-
cial condition of the town, al
though improved greatly, is still
not healthy enough to afford an
$4,000 fire truck" the mayor said.
II believe that the citiZenry of
Tabor City should awaken to the
need for this additional fire pro-
teition. The town has great deal
of potential money on the tax
books. If the people who owe
these taxes would make an ex-
tensive effort to pay them immed-
lately, l believe that the town
board would be happy to author
ize the purchase of the fire truck.
But until these back taxes are
paid, the chances of buying any
kind of permanent equipment is
SLIM" he said.
II also want to take this OPP
portunity to express the towns
appreciation to the Loris, White
Vile and Chadbourn firs depart
ments for their assistance In fight
ing the school fire. Without their
help, the loss might have been
much greater. The Loris fire de-
partment has rallied to help us
several times in the past and we
are grateful for their help" Cart
er said.
