ATLANTA, CASS COUNTY^ TEXAS, THURSDAY MARCH 3, 1938
Negro Borrows $1;
Lender Loses Life
Roy Steger, 44, colored, stabbed
Ab Haskins, 63 year old colored
man, Sunday morning at 3:30 a.m.
The stabbing took place at the Cor-
nelius Cooper place on the Ennis
Swint farm, 12 miles northwest of
Linden. Haskins was stabbed right
above the heart and died within 12
minutes after the fatal thrust.
Sheriff I. T. Hardegree arrested
^Steger on the Clive Henderson
farm and lodged him in the county
bastile, charged with murder. Date
of examining trial has not been
set.
Justice of the Peace J. II. Shef-
field, of Linden, accompanied Sher-
iff Hardegree to the scene and
held an inquest.
Two weeks before Steger and
Haskins had been gambling at
Hampton's sawmill and Steger bor-
rowed a dollar from Haskins. Sat-
urday night they were again gamb-
ling at the Cooper place and
Haskins asked Steger for the dol-
lar ho had previously borrowed.
During the altercation Roy Steger
stabbel Haskins. Haskins ran out
of the house into the yard before
he fell where he soon died from
f loss of blood.
An interesting coincidence is the
fact that last August at the same
house, another murder was commit-
ted in the same manner. Hillard
stabbed another colored man named
Hlalock. Both Blalock's and Has-
kins bodies were picked up in the
same yard, not five steps apart.
L. L. Harper New

Board of Education on Monday of
this week, Mr. L. L. Harper was
appointed to fill the unexpired term

the board for the past eighteen
years. His interest, his loyalty and

health did not permit him to con-
tinue in this capacity.
The Board feels proud to secure

esteemed and popular citizens, Mr.
L. L. Harper. It is felt he will serve
wisely and efficiently. Other mem-

ing truck crops for the Canning
plant this season are urged to at-
,-jv,mi a meeting, in the Vocational
^^Agriculture class room of the High
School Saturday, March 5, at 2
o'clock. At this meeting we desire
to determine the acreage to be
planted in beans, and decide upon
cooperatively buying bean seed for
planting. We feel that considerable
savings can be made if we buy
cooperatively. In a meeting Satur-
day, Feb. 26, the group decided up-
on the Giant Stringless variety of
beans to plant for the canning
plant.

ing of ■ an approximately 10,000
rural school children. Census trus-
tees may obtain these census blanks
by cabling at the County Superin-
tendents office.

New Farm Program
To Be Explained
County Agent, R. L. White, re-
ports that starting this week the
new farm program will be explain-
ed to the farmers. Every school
community in the county will be
visited. Besides the county agents
force the Vocational Agriculture
teachers will help give explana-
tions concerning the program, and
will gladly give such assistance to
their farmers as may be required.
Mr. White urges that each per-
son make a definite, effort to learn
as muc has is .possible under the
new program. "It is distressing"
Mr. White said, "to see as many of
our farmers, lamenting that they
did not learn as much in 1937 as
the law allowed, because they did
not know the law or how to com-
ply. This can be helped both by the
farmer and the county agent's of-
fice force. The farmer can try to
study and understand the program.
The county force can help by put-
ting out even greater effort to
make the information available."
There are many who have yet
failed to sign 1937 worksheets. As
the date for the vote for compul-
sory control is set for March 12,
1938, each farmer who has not
come in and signed a 1937 work
sheet should do so for the 1938
quota for his farm will be set soon,
and if he did not sign a worksheet,
there will be no quota alloted him
for 1938. "It is evident that some
of our farmers don't understand
the importance of this," Mr. White
continued. There is no obligation
that one will or wilt not be in the
1938 program. It simply means that
if the program is to have a mar-
keting penalty of 2c a pound on the
excess cotton raised all of this cot-
ton may be excess if no quota is
established on his farm. 1 wish that
each farmer would tell his neigh-
bor so that Cass county can get as
large an allotment as possible,"
concluded Mr. White.
The dates of the meeting are as
follows: County wide date at Lin-
den, Friday 2 p.m. at Linden at the
meeting of the Cass County Agri-
cultural Association, March 4.

ant will also be at the following
