greatest of pictures to be shown here "OVER THE HILL," the picture which U hailed throughout the world of motion pieturee aa the greatest of them all, will begin a run at the RICHARD THEATRE. Jund 9th end will continue for two days, at least, with a high probability of the run being extended indefinitely. This re markable photoplay, produced by William Pox, has been talcing the country by storm and is smashing every previous record for continoua. runs wherever it is shown. It is safe to say that po .picture ever shown here has created the in terest aroused by "Over the Hill." Local motion picture devotees have been wanting it for many months^ and its engagement here is the method Manager Garrett of the RICHARD THEATRE has taken to keep faith with his patrons, whom he had prom ised the very best pictures the screen affords. This production does not dasale the eye, it does not owe its huge success to the fact that an immnse amount of money was spent bi its production; but the story is one that goes straight to the heart and makes the spectator live again his childhood days?it takes him back to~ those golden hours with mother. Aside from the motion picture "fens" who have been insistent that "Over the-Hill" be shown here, it is expected that hundreds of persons will see the photoplay because of their love for and familiarity with the poems of Will Carleton, known as the "Farm Poet," whose popularity was as great at one time as that of James Whitcomb Riley today. Car le ton's poems were recited at every school commencement or other pub lic gathering for years; in fact, no program of twenty years ago was complete without the poems on which this picture is based, or other such familiar pieces as "I've Gone With a Handsomer Man" or "Betsy and I Are Out." ? <? i The popularity of the picture has made Mrs. Mary Carr, who created the role of Ma Benton in the picture, probably the best known actress on the screen today. -Although she has been extremely busy in new pictures at the Fox studies, a widespread de mand for personal appearance has compelled her from time to time to abandon her studio work temporarily and make tours so that peojple could see in the flesh the woman they I 43 AUrtTON HOUSES TO SELL TOBACCO Thi* list does not include any of the warehouses of Western North Carolina; nor the North Carolina honeea operating in what ia called the South Carolina belt Below will be found a partial list, totalling 48 " of the Tobacco Ware house in Eastern North Carolina which will sell this coming season un der the "Open Market System."

"Over the Hill" was many months in the making. The idea for a picture based on Will Carleton's poems was conveived by William Fox himself. Much of the humanly sympathetic de tail is the product of his ksen-sighted ness and knowledge of human nature, inspired by his love of "Just plain folks and a desire to Kivj them a picture which pvery man, woman and child would like. He entrusted the directing of the picture to Harry Mil larde, who worked from a scenario written by Paul H. Sloane. As an example of Hie demand for this picture, "Over the JjHIV recently played simultaneously in twenty-six theatres at every performance. Although unusual .crowds are ex pected to attend the run of the picture in this city, their comfort will be safe guarded, Manager Garrett declares, and he has added extra attendants to his staff. i . ? ?? = IN MEMORY OF MRS.

Pender's Stores of which a chain are in opera tion over the country, opened in Ahoekie Wednesday. These stores have the enviable reputation of selling for eash, the common household goods and groceries at a material sav ing to the buying public of the town in which they are located, and for this reason the people of Ahoakie welcome the coming of this store. The store is located in the building ad Joining Garrett & Jemigan, and is easily recognizable by the yellow front. 0 The withdrawal of a single steel rivet from an ocean steamship with a displacement of 25,000 tons can be 'detected by a new method perfected by the Bureau of Standards.

WAIT AND SEE NO CRITICISM IS MADE OF THOSE TOBACCO FARMERS, WHO AFTER GIVING THE MATTER DUE CONSIDERATION SIGNED THE 5 YEAR POOL, BELIEVING IT BEST TO DO SO, BUT CRITICISM IS MADE, AND JUSTLY SO, OF THOSE WHO INDUCED FARMERS TO SIGN, TELLING THEM IF THEY DID NOT SIGN THEY WOULD HAVE NO PLACE TO SELL THEIR 1922 CROP OF TOBACCO. IN SUCH CASES, OUR OPINION IS THE FARMERS ARE NOT BOUND TO DELIVER THEIR TOBACCO TO THE POOL. WHY IS IT THAT THE OFFICERS OF THE COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION HAVE GIVEN ORDERS THAT ANOTHER DRIVE MUST BE PUT ON TO GET MORE TOBACCO FARM ERS TO SIGN THE S YEAR POOLING CONTRACT, WHEN CLAIM AFTER CLAIM HAS BEEN MADE THAT THEY HAVE ALREADY SIGNED UP FROM 60 TO 95 PER CENT OF THE TOBACCO? ARE THEY AFRAID TO HAVE THEIR SYS TEM TRIED OUT SIDE BY SIDE WITH THE AUCTION! SALE OF TOBACCO WHICH HAS PREVAILED FOR 30 YEARS ? WE SUGGEST TO THE TOBACCO FARMERS AND BUSINESS MEN GENERALLY THAT NOTHING IS FAIRER THAN HAVE THE COOPERATIVE METHOD OR ANY OTHER METHOD TRIED OUT BY THE SIDE OF THE AUC TION SYSTEM AT THE SAME TIME. IF THIS NEW SYS TEM GIVES THE FARMERS MORE DOLLARS FOR THEIR TOBACCO, THEN OUR FARMERS AND BUSINESS PEOPLE ARE INTELLIGENT MEN AND WILL SOON FIND IT OUT. IF THEIR NEW SYSTEM GIVES THE FARMERS ? DOL- - ' LARS FOR HIS TOBACCO THEN IT SHOULD AND WILL :? ? '"V ' ' ? " V. ft # y QUICKLY BLOW UP. FARMERS IN EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA HAVE BEEN READING CLAIMS THAT THE KENTUCKY POOL HAS BEEN MAKING FINE SALES FOR THEIR TOBACCO SOME AS HIGH AS 29c, BUT UP TO THIS THEY HAVE ONLY PAID THE FARMERS ABOUT 7 or 8c IF THEY SHOULD GET 7 OR 8c MORE WHICH WOULD BE MUCH LESS THAN AUCTION PRICES, WHAT HAS BECOME OF THE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS HELD BACK? DQE#ANY THINKING MAN BELIEVE THAT ANY TOBAC CO WAREHOUSE HAS BEEN TURNED OVER TO THE ASSOCIATION BECAUSE THE OWNERS WANTED TO HELP THE FARMERS? IF YOU WILL LOOK OVER THE , LIST OF WAREHOUSES OFFERED YOU WILL FIND MANY WHICH HAVE NOT RUN FOR YEARS, OTHERS HAVE BEEN RUNNING AT A GREAT LOSS, OTHERS WHOSE BUSINESS GREATLY DECLINED IN 1921 AND PROSPECTS OF A GREATER DECLINE IN 1922. SO WITH PROMISES OF BIG PRICE, BIG RENTAL AND BIG FAT SALARIES THEY WERE FINALLY PERSUADED TO HELP (?) THE POOR FARMER BY LETTING HIM FURNISH THE TOBACCO OUT Of WHICH TO PAY THESE BILLS. GENTLEMEN LOOK OVER THE LIST OF WAREHOUSES OFFERED AND YOU WILL BE CONVINCED THAT THE POOR FARMER WAS NOT SO MUCH CONSIDERED AS SELF, AND SELF ALONE, IN DISPOSING OF THEM TO THE ASSOCIATION. > LET'S WAIT AND SEE WHICH SYSTEM PAYS THE TOBAC CO FARMER MOST MONEY.
