Vance Farmer Pays $2.50
Debt Owing For 56 Years
A Vance county farmer who has
always been known for his In
tegrity and high motives, has just
settled a debt he incurred 56 years
ago amounting to $2.50. It was for
services from his family physician
at that time, who has been dead
nearly half a century), but the
$2 50 was paid to be divided be
tween the two daughters of the
deceased who have for years re
sided in Arizona.
The aged farmer, who is near
ing his 80th milestone in life,
came a few days ago to A. H*
Cheek, assistant cashier and sec
retary of the Citizens Bank and
Trust Company, and told him that
he owed the money, and that,
while he had not deliberately in
tended to withhold the amount or
the obligation, it had never been
paid and he wanted to get the
load off his conscience.
The debt was incurred to Dr.
Alexander Jones, an uncle of Mr.
Cheek’s and a brother of the late
Colonel T. L. Jones, who died
some eight or ten years ago. Mr.
Cheek took the money and sent

it to Dr. Jones’ two daughters in
Arizona, telling them that the
Vance county planter wished to
ease his conscience by paying the
obligation. He asked for a receipt,
which was sent, with the notation
by the sisters that they would like
to use the money to buy some
medal! or memento of some sort
to be sent back here for presenta
tion to the farmer as a token. The
sisters, of course, knew nothing
of the obligation, and it is doubt
ed if any one did, other than the
debtor.

Iri Fall; Raleigh Meeting Is
Largely Attended From
District
A conference of presidents, secreta
ries and directors of production credit
associations held at Raleigh on July
18 was attended by all of the directors
and the secretary-treasurer of the
Henderson Production Credit Asso
ciation .
At the conference, loan policies, pro
cedure and other matters in which the
various associations are mutually in
terested were discussed. This meet
ing. it was announced, is one of a se
ries now being held over the entire
third Farm Credit Administration dis
trict comprising the states of North
Carolina. South Carolina. Georgia and
Florida, and is in keeping with the
program of the administratio nto have
the leaders confer and exxchange
ideas so that the credit service offer
ed by the associations might come as
nearly as possible to meeting the de
mands of the farmer.
At the meeting the Production Cre
dit Corporation of Columbia was rep
resented by Ernest Graham, presi
dent, who reviewed the splendid pro
gress which has been made by the as
sociations in this district since their
organization in the early days of 1934.
He stated that in order for the asso
ciations to succeed as they should that
there must be sacrifices made by the
officers and directors, and that the
men who had been chosen to lead
these organizations had shown a
splendid spirit in the conduct of these
cooperative farm organizations.
The 97 associations in the four
states on May 31, 1935. had made
short-term loans totaling over $12,000,-
000, a substantial increase over the
same date last year. These loans, it
was pointed out. had been made on a
sound business basis and in the be’ief
that they would be repa'd 100 per cent.
Only by maintaining a splendid repay
ment record will the association re
main in position to secure money for
production purposes at such low rates
of interest, it was pointed out.
The Henderson Production Credit
Association has made loans to 880
farmers this spring totaling over
$216,000. and officers of the associa
tion are confident that their collec
tions this fall will be 100 per cent.

Excessive Drinkers Can

OFFICERS WILL MEET

City and County Enforcement Autho

trol Board To Hew
To the Line
"While Henderson has a liquor store,
where alcoholic beverages are soid in
bottles, it is not every one that can
make a purchase, and, under the regu
lations, a number of men known to
be habitual excessive drinkers have
been refused the right to make pur
chases during the joeriod this week
since the store began business last
Monday. Thursday was the biggest
day in cash receipts the store has
had since it opened, it was learned
today.
Henry T. Morris, a member of the
control board, said today it was plan
ned for the board to hold a meeting,
probably next week, with officers of
the law—enforcement men—in both
the city and the county, to demand of
them complete cooperation in break
ing up illicit liquor sales in the coun
ty. They will bo called upon to make
arrests and to close up places that are
selling liquor in any fashion and of
any kind, whether bonded or bootleg
ger brands, and whether in pint,
quart, or gallon bottles or fruit jars
or merely a drink at a time.
Members of the ABC board, who
have charge of the store, have ex
pressed the determination to see that
the illicit liquor traffic is stamped
out in this county since it has become
possible for alcoholic beverages to be
obtained legally.
They take the position that they are
duly appointed officers of the county,
that they are working for the county,
and that they are not personally in
the liquor business, but are merely the
representatives of the people of the
county, following the election three
weeks ago which authorized the legal
sale of liquor in the county.
Directing attention to the distinc
tion exercised in the sale of iegal li
quor, a board member today cited
specific instances in which sales had
been refused.
