TOBACCO GROWERS
TO ELECT OFFICERS
To Mobilize #5,000 Farmers In Orer
100 Oountle* of S Southern States.
(3. D. Frlsseli)
The 95,000 members of the Tobacco
Growers Cooperative Association are
being called upon to mobilize in more
than a hundred counties of North Caro
lina, Virginia and South Carolina on
April 5, at mass meetings In their va
rious county seats which will mark the
first step in the popular election of
those directors who will conduct the
affairs of the big trl.state tobacco co
operative during its third active sea
son. At the mass meetings scheduled
for the first Saturday in April, the
members of the Tobacco Growers Co
operative Association will nominate
the delegates from each county who
will represent them In electing their
directors.
The tobacco co-ops of Virginia, like
those of North Carolina, are perfecting
the organization of an agricultural
credit corporation with the purpose of
assisting members of the cooperative
associations to secure credit for the
production of their crops. Oliver J.
Sands, executive manager of the to
bacco association, and T. C. Watklns,
Jr., general manager of its warehouse
department, are taking an active part
in this work which is expected to fur.
ther increase tt?e financial racllltleg of
Virginia members of the marketing
association.
The heavy recent deliveries of to
bacco by members of the association in
Virginia and the old belt have brought
its total receipts to over 175 million
pounds of the 1923 crop. Results of
this year's marketing have been es
pecially satisfactory in the dark fired
district of Virginia where it now ap
pears that the association will receive
65 per cent of that state's dark tobac
co. The association has already ex
jceeded last year's total deliveries in
| the New Beit of South Carolina and
I Eastern North Carolina by over 17
I million pounds.
The production of bright tobacco in
1923 exceeded all estimates of the stat
isticians and will ruli 575 million
pounds according to leaders of the to.
bacco trade who met last week in Rich
mond for the annual convention of the
United States Tobacco Association. Iri
spite of this enormous production, 'leaf
dealers and manufacturers de<?lare
;that the prospects for the bright tobac.
| co trade are excellent, that both for
| eign and domestic demand continue
| strong and that there Is a compara
tively small quantity of leaf now in
the hands of dealers. Cooperative
marketing of tobacco has apparently
[benefitted both the farmers and the
trade.

CROSSES TO BE AWARDED
By Joseph J. Davis Chapter
To Confederate YeteraDs on Jfay 10th
? Rules For the Award of The Crows
Of Serrlce.
The Joseph J. Davis Chapter United
I Daughters of the Confederacy of Louis,
burg announces the fact that they ex
pect to award service crosses to all
old Confederate Veterans on May 10th,
who have completed the necessary pa
pers and these papers navlng been
approved in time to get the crosses
here for the occasion.
The following rules will govern the
a\ arding the crosses:
1. The United Daughters of the
C onfederacy, as a testimony to the pa
triotic devotion and loyalty of the lin
eal male descendants of Confederate
soldiers and sailors, will bestow upon
such descendants as rendered honor
able military or naval service to the
United States or its Allies during the
World War a decoration or insignia
to be known as the "Cross of Service, '
the awards to be made under the
conditions hereinafter set forth.
2. Any lineal male descendant of a
Confederate soldier or sailor, who sub
sequent to April 5, 1917, and prior to
Nov. 11, 1918, served honorably in the
Army, Navy, or Marine Corps of the
United States, or as a member of the
armed forces of its Allies, shall be en
titled to receive the award of the
Cross of Service; provided, he served
at least ten days prior to Nov. 11, 1918,
and that his total service was at least
ninety days, and provided further, that
he received an honorable discharge or
has served continuously since Nov. 11.
1918. in the military or naval service;
and provided further, that no award
shall' he made to any so-called "con
scientious objector" even though he
may have received an honorable dis
charge.
I 5. Proof of Confederate service of
t ancestor or ancestors of the one for
i whom the award of the Cross Service
; is requested may be accomplished (a)
i by a report from the War or Navy De
partment showing the facts with ref
erence to such service, or by accred
ited published documents, (b) by the
c rtificate of two Confederate Veter
j ans who had personal knowledge of
pthe honorable service of the said an
I cestor, (c) by a certificate issued by
the Office of a Judge of Probate that
the name of such ancestor appears on
the Pension Roll of said office, (d) by
the certificate from a duly chartered
Camp of United Confederate Veterans,
or from a similar Camp of Sons of
Confederate Veterans, or from a Chap
ter of the United Daughters of the
Confederacy showing the established
Confederate servlce^'of Buch ancestor
as appears on the records of such
Camp or Charter. In short, whatever
the method of proof, the facts must be
such that the ancestor, whether alive
or dead, must have served the Confed
erate States Government honorably
and faithfully, and was entitled, whetn
er he did or not, to have become a
member, if the opportunity offered, of
the United Confederate Veterans.

HELD WITHOUT BOND
Habeas Corpus Proceedings
Friday
Hrtnrj Jt-nnlnirM Charred With Bap?
?iear Inirl?Mld? About March 6th ?
Warrant Issued Sunday.
Henry Jennings, a young white man.
was bound over to Franklin Superior
Court on a charge of rape, without
bond by Judge G. M. Beam in Franklin
Recorder's Court Tuesday.
The evidence before the Recorder,
so we learn, was to the effect that
young Jennings went to the Ingleside
school on Thursday. March 6th, and
told Miss Annie Bragg, a fifteen year
old white girl, and a student of the In.
gleside school, that her father said
for her to come home that she could go
to Loulsburg to a show that night."
But she refused to go. About an hour
later Jennings returned and induced
the young girl to go with him, or that
he would take her home. Instead of
gotng straight on to the girl's home,
he drove down near a branch by Hay
wood's church in an oid road, and
stopped the car and told Miss Bragg j
to get out. Upon refusing to comply
she was taken from the car and thrown
to the ground where the crime was
accomplished. It seems the young
lady told her sister that afternoon but
for different reasons her father never
learned of it until Sunday, when he
had a warrant issued and "the arrest
was made.
Jennings was allowed to give bond
in the sum of $1,000.00 Sunday, and
the bond was later raised to $2,500.00
T>ond after the preliminary hearing
\ Tuesday.
Jennings* attorneys called on Judge
I Grady in Raleigh Wednesday after
I noon in the interest of a habeas cor
1 pus proceedings seeking to secure
i bond. The hearing was ordered for
Friday afternoon.

into its midst as an active member,

Mrs. Alice J. Uzzell entertained the
jClub and a few invited guests at her
j home on iMain street. The day had
;been gray and snowy, but with Mrs.

have taken up the broken thread of

After the guests assembled, ' Mrs.
Uzzell preented each with a beautiful

a paper on "The St. Lawrence River."
the subject for study, hy Mrs. A. H.
Fleming, in which she brought out
many important facts and emphasized
many beauties of which moat of us
were unfamiliar.
Mrs. J. L. Palmer, in her always
pleasing manner, gave an entertain
ing Special Reading closing with the
beautiful poem, "The Boat Song.""
An unusual number on the program,
and one much enjoyed, was a violin
duet, consisting of two selections.
"Flower Song" and "Romance,"*' by
William Uzzell and James Wheless.
Wonderfully well they played, so
thought their hearers!
In the absence of Mrs. R. F. Yarbor.
ough, Mrs. Uzzell read her Current I
Event, in which she treated of the in- '
tention and efforts of Edward Bok to
solve and carry out some peace plan
that will best suit the needs and
requirements of our nation.
Two Irish songs on the VIctrola con
cluded the program for the evening,
after which, assisted by William Uzzell
