In N. Carolina

current sweet potato produc.
ton prospects in North Carolina
point to an average Ia bushel
yield per acre, says Henry ".
CoVrngton. extension horticul-

College.
This compares with an average
100 buhScls per acre in 1865,
although this is 5000 acres short
of the l9i5-54 average.
Covington says North Carolina
is the second largest producer of
sweet potatoes, producing 10 t.
- per cent of the national crop.
This compares with Louisiana
production - the largest pro
Queer - Of 20 to 80 per cen,
of the crop.
September estimates of sweet
potato production are up over
August estimates in Virginia
North Carolina, and South Caro-
lima, says Covington. Estimates
are down in Arkansas, Okla
homa. and Louisiana.
North Carolina sweet potato
production, as of September I.
is estimated at i,5S6,0O0 bushels
compared with i.36S,O0O bushels
in 1865 and a l0-year average
of 4.9Si.9S0 bushels.
Covincton points out that tn"
sweet potato crop will be short
this year. Total L. s. production
in 1865 was 37.12l.72O bushels.
This years crop will reach only
29.5S7,7 40 bushels.
Louisiana yields jumped eight
bushels per acre last year to =

Inmates now place Louisiana
yields at only 7,23i,5OO bushels
for 1856.
Because Louisiana normally
supplies about 30 per cent If
the entire national sweet potato
crop. what happens to Louisiana
production affects the total pic

lima, says Covington.
He believes North Carolinas'

100 to ia bushels along with
Louisiana's greatly reduced acre
age and the drop in Louisiana

Supervisor Of Registration JaiIs
Precinct Committeeman

Albert A. Miller, who was act
ing in the capacity OF coordinator
Of Negro registration under the
auspices of the Citizens Commit
tee on Registration, was jailed on
Saturday night durisg the closing
hours of registration by direction
of Carl Holmer, Jr., supervisor Of
registration.
Holmer accused Miller of bring
ing carloads of Negroes TO the
courthouse. and short circuiting
them into registration lines be-
fore they had received their pre-
cinct numbers. The system as de-
vised by the superintendent, re-
quired each individual to stand in
line to have precinct numbers
checked before getting in the reg
istration lines.
Miller contends that the said
action on the part of the super
intendent concerning his falling
was prompted by the manner in
which he, Miller, performed eff
ficiently his job as coordinator of
the drive among the Negroes.
Earlier in the week Miller was
approached by Holmer's deputy
Brown and questioned concerning
his presence at the courthouse.
Whereupon Miller informed him
that he had been delegated to as
ssist Negroes with their regiStra-
ton problems. Brown became of
Tended and informed Miller that
1t was his job and he did not want
any interference. Miller told
Brown that he had observed that
Negroes were not being given the
same courteSieS extended the
White group. Miller cited instances
of pregnant women standing in
long registration lines, while
White pregnant women were eS-
corted to special section set
aside for these women where they
received their cards without
standing long periods of time.
Miller stated that Brown in
formed him that he was being
paid for such duties; whereupOn
Miller retorted that he had been
elected as precinct committeeman
with similar duties and that his
major concern was to fulfill such
duties to the best of his ability.
Holmer's system has before
caused much discussion among
local leaders. In 1850 he had pro-
vided only two lines for Negro
registrants while approximately
1915 clerks were assigned to the
lines serving the Whites. This, the
Negro leaders felt, accounted for
the small number of Negro regis
trants for the efforts expended.
Miller further stated that upon
being incarcerated he was denied
his civil rights in that he was de-
MED permission to consult his at
torney, a. privilege given in cases
of the sort for which he was ar
rested.
The Ministerial Alliance, under
the leadership of the Rev. Edward
IT. Graham, met on Tuesday and
the body voted to give their sup
port to the portion of the issue
which deals with the abridgement
of Miller'S civil rights,
I Atty. G. E. Graves upon the
direction of FIR, Theodore Gibson,
president of the local NAACP,
was appointed the attorney to in
veStigate such abridgement of
Miller's rights.
Due to the treatment of Miller
while jailed, he is now under con-
slant medical care. He was plac-
ed in cell on the oath floor with
nothing but a cot, with no mat
tress or covers to sleep upon.
Miller was freed on Sunday
under 500 bond pending trial
date.

Editorials . . .

Undoubtedly most Of these are de-
serving but there are some that are
not. To put the brakes on these solicit
tations, we believe the Merchants As
ISOLATION should adopt rule that
every solicitor for contributions of any
description would have to apply to a
three man committee, appointed by
the association, and this committee
should make the decisions.
If the comittee adopted rule that
every request for solicitations must
make applications and wait for three
days for the decision, it would dis
courage some of the undeserving and
transient beggars.
We have always done our best to
cooperate and publicize fund drives
of every description. We still want
to do our part and to do anything
possible to assist mankind but there
needs to be some good business prin-
ciples put into practice to protect not
only the contributors but the deserv-
ing drives as we'll.

A CITY WITHOUT
A NEWSPAPER

(From The Pennsylvania Times)
What is it like to live in a city
without regular newspaper?
The people of Detroit know-after
prolonged strike that shut down all
three of its dailieS. The merchants of
the city learned it particularly we'll
the hard way. They used all the
other media to the limit. Some stores
put out handbills of their own, to
advertise their holiday wares. Yet,
through Christmas trade for the coun-
try as whole was we'll above last
year, many Detroit stores did less
business. The lack of newspapers was
responsible.
Again, the merchants faced a fresh
problem at poSt-holiday sale time.
They had bargains and specials to
offer as usual-but moving them was
another matter, without newspaper
advertising space.
The community problems that arise
from lack OF newspapers are certain
~ not limited to the big cities. The
smaller towns are equally dependent
upon the WeeklieS and dailies that
serve them. In the small town, es-
peclally, the newspaper is a running
record Of Its history-a thread that
constantly touches the lives of all the
people who live there. And, DESPITE
the newer media, it remains the most
effective means of advertising for
merchants and others.
Infinitely more important, the news
paper, small or large, is a guardian
OF our rights and liberties which is
always on duty.

UNITED FUND DRIVE

The time has come when there Is
a campaign on for charitable funds
just about every month of the year
and many times more than one is in
process at the same time.
Now it can be said that these drives
are necessary and the good that is
accomplished with this money through
organizations is, generally speaking,
put to good use. But the drives are
so frequent that the whole thing is
leaving an unwholeSome taste in the
mouths of merchants and business
men who can hardly turn around
without some one asking for a hand
out.
The good citizens who accept the
thankless chore of heading these
drives are being frowned upon more
and more by those people they con-
tact. And this has led to a situation
in which it is most difficult to even
find a chairman for fund drive.
We believe that the time has come
ed action through their association to
set up red feather campaign, also
known as a United Drive campaign.
The larger cities of the country
have long seen the necessity for cur
failing the number of drives by charit-
able organizations. Thus they have
established one big annual drive with
contributors expected to donate liber-
ally, in comparison with what their
entire contributions of the previous
year amount to, and then this money
divided among the organizations that
seek funds.
We would be very much in favor
of such a United Fund drive in Tabor
City. If this drive were sponsored
each October, we believe merchants
in general would be happy to cooper
ate and make their annual donation
at that time. Then, as we see it. they
should be able to turn down separate
requests for funds during the year
with straight face and without loss
of pride or conscience
Some organizations say they wi.
not merge their efforts with United
Fund drive and insist that they nus.
have campaign all their uw.. The
Merchants Association might see j..
then to make it clear that Speyiw
campaigns are not included in IT,.
