BOLL WEEVIL CONFAB
BILLED OCTOBER 24th
A district wide boll weevil confer
ence has been celled by the Directors
of tike Eastern Carolina Chamber of
Commerce to be held at Goldsboro
October 24th at 11 o'clock, for the
purpose of discussing ways and means
of offsetting the effects of the weevil
in Eastern Carolina next year. All
authorities agree that some of the
most effective work along this line
can be done in the fall, and the East
ern Carolina Chamber of Commerce
feels that a meeting called at this
time to arouse interest and public
sentiment will be well worth the
while.
Hon. A. W. McLean, Ex-Chairman
of the War Finance Corporation, will
be one of the main speakers on this
occasion. Mr. McLean has a well de
fined plan for securing concerted ac
tion that will, in his opinion, event
ually overcome the disastrous effects
of the weevil. This plan of his waa
submitted at Memphis this year and
has also been indorsed by several of
the cotton growing states farther
West. Other speakers, each one an
expert in his line, will be on the pro
gram also. No thinking man doubts
the wisdom of having open discus
sions, having for their purpose the
working out of a plan that will as
far as possible be effective in defeat
ing the weevil, and it is for this pur
pose alone that the Eastern Carolina
Chamber of Commerce is calling this
meeting.
There are forty-six counties in the
territory covered by the Eastern Car
olina Chamber of Commerce, and it
is hoped that every county will be
represented at this meeting, and
every effort will be put forth to this
end. Mr.George C. Royall, president
of the Eastern Carolina Chamber of
Commerce, of Goldsboro, recently
said, "This Conference should mean
the saving of millions of dollars to
Eastern Carolina next year if prop
erly attended by representative citi
sens of these forty-six counties."
Every county is urged to send repre
sentatives to this meeting.
BIG SEA PICTURE IS
HOMEWARD BOUND"
MONDAY; 7:30 AND 9:00
Thomas Meighan Has Fine
Stellar Role In Thrilling
New Photoplay
A story of the sea, packed with
drama and every scene having a dis
tinct thrill of its Own, Thomas Meig
han's latest Paramount picture,
"Homeward Bound," based on the
story "The light to Leeward," by
Peter B. Kyne, and superbly directed
by Ralph Ince, will be the feature at
the RICHARD THEATER for Mon
day, October 22nd. Lila Lee, beau
tiful and popular, plays opposite the
star.
In this captivating photoplay, Mr.
Meighan is seen as Jim Bedford, a
sailor who saves a ship from founder
ing after Captain Svenson, the cow
ardly skipper, quits the bridge and
gives up the struggle. When the ship
reaches port, Svenson is given an
ovation and Rufus Brent, the owner,
unawige of the facts, makes him
skipper of his yacht which Brent aims
to present to his daughter, Mary.
Bedford, who loves Mary, refuses
to permit Svenson to command the
yacht and thus imperils Mary's life.
When the yacht is about to sail, Bed
ford forces Svenson off the vessel and
himself takes command. Brent
threatens to have Bedford arrested
for piracy and after a severe time
aboard Bedford takes the yacht back
to port. He then takes command of
an unseaworthy schooner and before
sailing, quietly marries Mary, all
of which combine to make the picture
tremendously interesting and appeal
ing.
The supporting company is excep
tionally strong. In the cast are
Charles Abbe, William T. Carleton,
Hugh Cameron, Gus Weinburg,
Maude Turner Gordon and other not
ed players.

thing at all about the theft of the
ear. Upon cross examination he got
himself balled up and admitted taking
part in the theft, reciting the same
tale told here in the magistrate trial
of the other three men. Before he
bad finished, however, he took it all
back, and said over again he knew
nothing of the theft
Evidence was introduced to show
that his mind was not right and that
he was a weakling in the hands of
Thomas, and had been brought into
the case through his own weakness in
allowing Thomas to dictate to him.
J. T. Griffith, a man of 86 or 70
years, living in Maneyg Neck, plead
his own cause, in which he was charg
ed with failing to dip his cow for the
first time. "Be sure you are right,
then go ahead" was his policy, he
said, in pleading his case before the
judge and jury. He had a few fine
points of law he wanted cleared up
before he would dip his cow, and, af
ter correspondence with the State
Veterinarian, he went along and
obeyed the law.
Judge Kerr started to prompt Mr.
Griffith when he started quoting Dav
id Crockett, but the defendant and
attorney for time being picked the
quotation right out of the judge's
mouth, and completed his winning ar
gument. He was given a clean bill.
A negro youth, who tried to play
lawyer and get off from the charge
of stealing two automobile tires from
the steamboat company's warehouse
at Murfreesboro, did net fare so well.
He was convicted and given, eight
months on the roads.
Trial of the civil docket begins to
day, Thursday. The calendar is well
filled, and many others await a hear
ing. But, it is expected that this
term and the special term in Decem
ber will relieve the docket consider
ably.
Active and potential candidates for
Judge Kerr's place on the superior
court bench were very much in evi
dence on the first day of court. At
torney J. Hiliary Matthews, aethre
candidate, and law partner, Judge
Francis D. Winston, were there, and
they were working all material in
sight for endorsements. Solicitor
Midygette was on hand, but was not
making any fight for the appoint
ment. His statement is "I am not a
candidate but would like to have it"
The solicitor has a strong backing
smong the Hertford county bar. *
