Taken From Life
By H. A. STALLINGS
In our travels and conversa
tions in this section we encoun
ter frequently the question: “Is
there a Southeastern North
Carolina and a pride in South
eastern North Carolina?”
The answer to that is whether
or not Southeastern North Caro
lina presents a solid, unbroken
front.
Let us use for illustration the
latest happening. Last Friday
morning, more than 150 farm
ers and business men from
Pender, Onslow and Duplin
counties went to Raleigh to re
quest of the Governor and the
chairman of the State Highway
Commissions the immediate
letting of a contract for the pav
ing of 23.4 miles of highway be
tween Burggw and Jackson
ville. They did not get assur
ance of an immediate letting.
All they obtained was a promise
that bids will be sought in Jan
uary and construction will be
started in April.
If there is such a thing as
Southeastern North Carolina
consciousness then, without any
urging or prodding, Southeast
ern North Carolina will present
a solid, unbroken front on this
one, particular matter That
means that every civic club,

CLINTON, Sept. 13.—Rev. M
A. Warwick, 82, died of a heart
attack at his home in Newton
Grove Friday night at 11:45. He
had been in failing health for
some time. Funeral rites will be

! cooler weather,” Mr. Hess said,
“and it’s also about time for dry
weather. So I figure if it’s
about time for it, it won’t be
long before we get some cooler
and dryer weather.”
A lot of help Mr. Hess turned
out to be.
Therefore, the only thing I
! can say definitely to the tobacco
growers of this area is to quote
Mr. Oscar Blanchard, one of the
three gentlemen I noted up yon
der somewhere as leading the
sales on the Wallace market.
“Tobacco growers should keep
wet tobacco off the marke until
cooler weather,” Mr. Blanchard
said. “They should keep it
hanging in their barns. In no
event' should they try to put
small piles of the wet tobacco
on the warehouse floors. They’ll
be hurting themselves because
this kind of tobacco just will not
bring anything like a decent
price in the kind of weather
we’ve been having.
So-o-o-o, you tobacco growers
will just have to watch for your
chance: If Mr. Hess gives you
some cooler weather those to
baccos that are damp now will
have better sales prospects. Un
til Mr. Hess comes through you’d
better keep that tobacco hang
ing in your barns.
Getting back to the Wallace
market, the four warehouses in
this sprightly farmers’ town, sold
a total of 1,850,000 pounds of to
bacco during the past five days.
It brought an average of a few
pennies more than $43.00 per
hundred, thus giving the farm
ers of this area $795,500. Which
is good money in rainy or dry
weather.
The Wallace market sold every
pound it could during the past
week. It is still in the block
that has existed here for the past
12 days and farmers'are urgent
ly requested to book floor space
before bringing in their offer
ings.
The sensation of color can be
produced by stimuli other than
light: for instance, pressure on
the eyebalk while in complete
darkness.
Merchants association, Cham
ber of Commerce, Board of
County commissioners, Board
of Education and all similar or
ganizations in Southeastern
North Carolina immediately
and without awaiting any re
quest to do so will adopt formal
resolutions directing attention
to this promise, together with
calling for its strict fulfillment
and send these resolutions to
the Governor and the Highway
Commission chief.
If this were done the Gover
nor and the highway head
would be convinced and would
be put on notice that Southeast
ern North Carolina presents a
solid, unbroken front on any im
portant matter within the
region.
If Southeastern North Caro
lina is able at all times on all
important matters arising withj
in it to present a solid, unbrok
en front it follows just as sure
ly as day follows night that it
will commend the respect of
every other section and that
anyone will think seriously be
fore opposing the wishes and
ambitions and goals of South
eastern North Carolina.
Logically the question arises
of how a solid, unbroken front
can be developed for the region
if such a front is not already
in existence.
The answer to that is a multi
tude of Southeastern North Car
olina associations that have
regular and periodical meetings
and that, on no excuse, permit
one of these regular sessions to
be skipped or omitted. That
would result in a lot of people
from all over Southeastern
North Carolina meeting togeth
er regularly, discussing matters
of common interests, arriving
at an agreement on any matter
affecting any part of the area.
With such a procedure adhered
to uninterruptedly, inevitably a
Southeastern North Ca’oiina
consciousness arid a Southeast
ern North Carolina pride ijfpuld
come into permanent existence.
We happen to be a Lion and,
therefore, feel free to use this
example. Suppose the Wilming
ton Lions club organized an as
sociation of all the presidents
of all the civic clubs in South
eastern North Carolina. That
means an association of all the
leaders of the Lions. Rotary,
Kiwanis, Exchange and Civitan
clubs and all other civic groups
located and operating in South
eastern hfyaidh Carolina. If the
presidents of these clubs met
quarterly to discuss and to
agree on matters of common
interest it would be impossible
to prevent a Southeastern North
Carolina civic club conscious
ness and pride from coming in
to existence.
The same sort of a South
eastern North Carolina associa
tions with regular meet
ings could be formed for Cham
bers of Commerce, Merchants
associations, County commis
sioners, County School Superin
tendents and so on. In the end,
and it would not take long, the
southeastern North Carolina
aride and the Southeastern
Morth Carolina consciousness
.vould be the most powerful
single influence in North Caro
ina.
