Without nny preliminary to the regular meet ing of the state highway commission for the purpose of taking Tip" new work. Durham County is counted to furnish quite the liveliest scrap hrpught here since the commission became a creature. The Durham battle is supposed to be Commissioner John Sprunt Hill en one side and Colonel B Cameron, the daildy of good roads the world over, on the other. Mr. Hill comes to the capital with considerable glory. He just a few days ago sent a double first cousin to the state prison and climaxed this use power with a flat sit down on Colonel Cameron. The two manifestations wou]d not mean so much if the downing of Colo nel Cameron did not carry with it a flight in the highway commission. The major body is supposed to he against Mr. Hill, who is opposed to j Colonel Cameron on the proposal to I run the Durham-Oxfoi'd road by Stag jrille, the country domicile of Colonel i Cameron as the country newspapers | call it. Colonel Cameron when he isn't living everywhere In the good ! roads cause, which Is all the time, 1 has a handsome house m Raleigh J and one on" a great farm in Durham, i It is an incident purely that the Dur ham-Oxford road goes by his plan tation. Engineers are quoted as favor able to that route both because of the cost and directness with which the road runs. But there is an element of embarrassment in it. Opposition to that course raises the question. Isn't this a "political" road? Some folks say it is and others that It isn't. The Durham friends of Colonel Cameron resent very bitterly the suggestion. Rebel Against Beating Cameron They rebel, too at the thought that a man who has given more of a life to good roads than any person in America stands to losing a local con test. But Commissioner Hill has ruled against his county man and the com mission which is to hear delegations is believed to be with Colonel Cam eron. This project promises the great est entertainment that any nlghway row lias produced and tho natives here wait impatiently for tho great I meeting. ? Greensboro News.

CO-OPS HOLD MEETING EE ELECTS ALL OLD COUNTY OFFICERS Pass Ringing Resolution ? Luxge Number Present ? Mr. L. V. Morrill, Jr., Pres ent. The regular monthly county meet ing of the members of the Co-opera tive Association was called to order In the Court House on Saturday morn Ing at 11 o'clock by Chalrman>J. A. Milchlner, who explained that the regular election of officers, that should have been held on the pre vious meeting but was overlooked would be held at this meeting as the Gist business. Director C. P. Harris, of the Tobac co Growers Association, moved that the rules be suspended and that the re-election of all the old officers be made by acclamation. The motion was promptly seconded and carried unanimously j Mr. J. H. Best offered the following I resolution: | "We. farmers of Franklin County, i members of the Tobacco Growers As j sociations ? , being ? as sembled at Louisburg, Franiiiin Coun I ty, for our regular monthly meeting; ; do_ wish to go on record as support ing our Association to the very full est in its efforts to enforce each and every term of the contract signed by our members. We have in mind at 'this time especially, that part of the {contract which holds each landlord i member for all the tobacco produced | on his land. Further, we wish to thank our Di ! rector and officials for so frankly stating their position in this matter, \ and for all the other ma:iy great j things they have accomplished for us. I And. we feel that the Association 'has acted wisely in not borrowing i money to make additional payments up to this time and we realize that If jour tobacco is sold in an orderly man ner we will have to wait a reasonable > time for a full settlement. | A copy to be sent to our Associa tion's Secretary at Raleign. ? This resolution brought on right I much discussion. The main Question | being the difference of opinion on the legal side of the contract and re ti llered around the landlord having to deliver the crop of the tenant that is jnot a member. The directors and the Association's Counsel holds that the contract calls for this, and this opinion was transmitted by Mr. L. V. I Morrill, Jr. But some members took | the other view. A vote showed the .defeat of the resolution by four votes. At this point Mr. E. H. Malone, I arose and declaring that every mem ber present was fully cooperative and wanted to live up to and have the contract enforced to the letter in every case re-introduced the above resolution with the wording "We have In mind at thiB time especially, that | part of the contract which holds each landlord member for all the tobacco 1 roduced on his land" stricken from l he first paragraph. The resolution In this form, which Is stronger if possible, than the first, was passed unanimously. Chairman Mitchciner made a short but interesting addresfe In regard to the Cotton Association. Director C. .P. Harris made an In teresting talk. This completing the business of the meeting adjournment was taken to the next regular meeting. KE8ULT OF SCHOOL FLECTIONS Of the four school elections held on Saturday two carried and two failed to carry. Franklinton District car ried the special tax by a vote of more than four to one according to Infor mation recelred here. Youngs \rtlle District carried the special tax elec tion by a majority of 2#, insuring the people of that dlBtrlct a good high school In the future. Harris District and the Sandy Creek-Gold Mine 1Mb. trlct defeated the special tax In the election with overwhelming majori ties. The reason for the defeat in each, so we learn, Is attributed to the selection of the location of the school building.

A. Elks, of Pitt County, last week. Elks who is called the lar gest tobacco grower in North Caro lina's largest tobacco growing county is required to appear in court this week to show cause why he should not be restrained from dellevering his tobacco outside of the association ol which he is a member. Elks is also being sued in th< amount of $6,000 for liquidated dam ages for alleged delleveries of 120,-! 000 pounds of tobacco outside of the 1 association. The restraining order which calls him to appear before Judge Cranmer, of the Wake County Superior Court, on June 29, is due tc alleged threats to delievei' his -1923 crop outside the association. R.; "Mr Elks a kinsman is also required tc I appear in court the same day for simi t lar reasons. Growing enthusiasm among the or ganized tobacco farmers of Eastern Carolina was evidenced by a series of rousing meetings last week anions the farmers of Pitt, Johnston and Beaufort counties. In Pitt county J members? of the association endo. sM | their directors and denounced the | methods of propaganda and intimida | tion by which those opposing cooper ative marketing are reported as en I deavoring to cause still further con tract breaking in the Eastern Delt. ! Tobacco fanners from thirty John ston County locals who held a meet ing at Smithfield, expressed their re sentment over the reported attempts of outsiders to break down morale of weak kneed members, in a strong re solution which commended the mer chants of Johnston County who have aided the farmers in their efforts to establish better methods of market ing. Congressman H. S. Ward addressed hundreds of co-op farmers at a great barbecue of members of the cotton and tobacco aasociations near Wash ington last week when they met for an all day celebration of the success of their associations. The tobacco cooperative will begin its second important step in commod ity marketing in South Carolina early in July with visits by an expert corps of graders to 150 local units of the as sociation in the Palmetto State, where demonstrations of sorting and bund ling tobacco and uniform grading will be given to thousands of growers. W. 12. Lea, field service representative of the association in South Cardiba, and C. O. Dixon, its manager of warehous es for that state announce that these meetings will be open to members and non-members alike. They estimate that the visits of the association's most successful graders to every county of the South Carolina Belt will increase the value pt^the crop in that section by many thousands of dollars.
