I'. C. C'reekmore, 7S years old. was in
Elizabeth City Monday on his way to
his home in Perquimans County after a
visit of eight weeks to his son Alexander
Creekmore in New York City. Age is
no handicap to Mr. Creekmore and his
eyes sparkh?d with something of youth
v heii he told THE INDEPENDENT man
about the sights he had seen in New
York city and other parts of New York
state which he visited while on his trip.
He says he enjoyed mixing with the
prowds in big New York department
stores and hasn't yet recovered from the
sensation of looking down upon that city
of five million people from the tower
of the Woolworth building, more than 700
feet above the street.

vi-Hi Carolina has accented an invita
tion to speak on this occassion and the
emumittee has the tenative promise ot
Congressman Heflin that he will also be
on hand. These men have been to tne
very front in the fight for the rights of
the Southern farmer.
Two other exceptionally able speakers
a ve been secured: C. R. Titlow, sec
retary of the Farm and JLand Bank of
Baltimore and Dr. Dan T. Gray of Ra
leigh, N. C. Both have had a large
part in the agricultural development of
the South within the past few years and
will have special messages for the pea
nut growers.
Another bis feature of this big rally
at Suffolk will be the showing of some
of the most popular agricultural movies

ing new . members to their association
of their Exchange. They will sell oys
ters and sandwiches at moderate prices.
With peanuts now playing around the
ten cent mark the growers will be in for
better spirits than they were last spring,
for on the very day Governor Davis ad
dressed them in their big gathering

because their peanuts were bringing on
ly five cents or less, but they took cour
age and are now ready to come together
