Enjoy Highest Cash Payments j
Show Careful Stewardship
In Court Victory
(By S. D. Frissell)
The high cash payments and loan
values with which the Tobacco Grow
ers Cooperative Association opened
thirty more markets in Virginia and
Western North Carolina last week re
sulted In a rush of tobacco farmers
to the cooperative association. Over
200 new contracts for the crop of
1924 reached the Raleigh headquar
ters of the association last week and
It Is known that many more farmers
have signed the marketing contract
whose names 1 eve not been sent In
by local warehousemen totheassocla
tlon headquarters. *
Much tobacco of good quality was
delivered by members of the associa
tion on the opening day. At several
association markets Individual piles
brought a first advance of $32.50 or
an available cash value of $48.75
with the benefit of the cash loan to
which every member of the association
Is now entitled.
The largest deliveries to the asso
ciation have come from Western
North Carolina, where the crop Is
further advanced than In Virginia.
Members of the association at Win
ston-Salem delivered 100,000 pounds
on ^he opening date and although
the breaks In Virginia were much
smaller, the farmers on almost every
market were quick to see the ad
vantage of the association's piay
menta this year and contracts signed
on October 1st, are still pouring into
Its offices.
Several hundred farmers from
, South Carolina and Eastern North
Carolina who were too late to sign
the marketing contracts for 1924, have
pledged their crops to the association
for 1925 and 1926, after selling their
tobacco for some weeks at auction.
| A remarkable endorsement of the to
bacco association resulted from anoth
er legal victory in the courts last
week when the careful stewardship
of the' money and tobacco of Its mem
? bers was proved In open court.
I Every pound In twenty grades of
approximately 18,000 pounds of tobac
co delivered by B. F. Pollock Brothers
i of Jones county, was accounted for
In a case heard before Superior Court
| Judge G. E. Mldgette, which resulted
jln a complete vindication of the as
sociation's methods of payments and
accounting.
The Pollock Brothers had alleged
that the association had failed to make
proper accounting and waB Indebted
to them to the amount of more than
$3,000. Judge Mldgette failed to find
that there was any breach of contract
whatever by the association or that
the defendants had been Imposed upon
In any way, and continued the injunc
tion against them, thus preventing
their delivering tobacco outside of
tthe association until tthe final hear.

XK. THOMAS COLLIE DEAJ)
As the day was dying In the west
and heaven was touching earth with
rest on the 24th day of September
1 God laid His restful hand on Thomas
Sidney Collie and called him to an
eternal rest.
Thomas, was the oldest son of T.
A. Collie of Cedar Rock community
! anda member of Cedar Rock Baptist
i church since a boy of twelve. After
' an UlneBs of about a year which he
bore uncomplainingly and with grace
> | which God alone can give he quietly
' and beautifully fell asleep to awake
? with Jesus whom he loved supreme.
1 Thomas leaves a loving father, a
? devoted step-mother, a sister, a broth
er a half sister and half brother who
' mourn their loss. While our hearts
ache at the thought that he is gone
we know that our loss Is heavens
gain, for Thomas had lived a beauti
ful life In spite of the odds against
jhim. It only makes heaven seem the
I brighter home and we thank God .that
we had, him even tho, It were but 21
short yeftTS.
Thomas was laid to rest in tho faml
1 ly cemetery Thursday afternoon. Sep
tember 25th. The floral tribute was
beautiful and showed how greatly he
v:as loved by those who knew him.
HIS SISTER.
DEATH OF MB. Jf. K. MAT
After an Illness of several months
Mr. N. R. May died at his home near
Bunn, on Sunday, September 2Stli. His
health Ifed boen falling for more
than a year, but was confined to bed
for only about two months when the
end came.
He Is survived by his wife and four
children. Mrs. Prank Jones of Bunn,
Nellie Gray, George and Edward May.
One brother and six sisters also sur
vive him.
The fnneral services were conduct
ed from the home by Rev. Mack
Stamps. The remains were taken to
the family burying ground near by
and laid to rest beside the body of
his mother and father who died Home
years ago. The floral tribute was pro
fuse which speaks for the friends of
the deceased.
Mr. May was 50 years old. and ft
member of the Rock Springs Baptist
church, a man of splendid christian
character, and greatly loved by every
one who knew him and will be sadly
missed In his community. Whether in
the home circle or In the community,
he delighted In unselfish service.
This splendid life had its roots in
religion. At an early age he took
Christ for his master and In ail the
after years he showed the complete
ness of that surrendeer In service for
others, andln the discipline of his
children.
So death found him ready and un
afraid. We craved for him health, but
Qod meant to heal him with Immor
tality. We wanted to keep him with
ua, but his master wanted him too.
They ? those white robed ones ?
serve him day ftnd night in his i am
ple. And I like to think that Dock
Is still serving In fullness of )oy and,
for the first time, without a twinge
of pain.
