Stroud- Hubbard Co, LARGEST SHOE DEALERS IN LEE COUNTY COOPERATIVE MARKETING Every one who has 'studied the present sys tem of selling co-operative farm products is agreed that the only salvation for the farmer is through cooperative marketing. The South today is engaged in a fight to secure a fair rrice for cotton and tobacco through co-op erative marketing. Success means better times for every business and profession. " North Carolina has started out to sign upon five-yea contracts, 50 per cent of the cotton and tobacco crops. Oklahoma and Texas are nearing their ghal in sign-up campaigns for cotion, while other Statea-are at work or ready to start. ‘The present fight," s«ys Dr, Clarence Poe, “is to give us a marketing system of, by and for the people and not. for the speculators.” THE NEW SPRING HATS Are very pretty this season and the prices are more rea sonable.

On Wednesday of last week a posse composed of 8herlH Landon Rosser, Deputy Sheriff Alton Groce, Henry Hamilton, Searls Cox and Dub Love ran into a hot nest of blockaders up near White Hill church. Before reach ing the still the officers sepa ated, ap proaebing from opposite directions so as to cut off and surround the block aders. As Groce approached the still a lookout posted on a hill observed his movements and fired a gun in his direc tion either to hit him pr as a signal to the two blockaders, who were at' that time operating the still. As the man who was doing outpost duty started to make his escape be raised his gun, a double-barrel shot gun, as if to shoot Groce, and Sheriff Rosser seeing the danger he was in and realizing that something must be done to divert the man’s attention, fired his pistol, the ball lodging in a tree just above his bead. In the excitement all three of the blockaders made their escape. The still was a copper outfit of 60 gallon's capacity. From all Indications it had been in operation some three or four months. With the still the officers found aoout five gallons ot l.quor and fifteen barrels of beer, a tot of malt, sugar and other things. They also found the coal of one of the blockaders, an ex-service man. In the pocket of the coat they found a letter addressed to him from his sweetheart. All three of the men were then out on bond charged with making liquor. The ex soldier has since sent Sheriff Rosser word that he would send htm $60 00 if he would return bis sweetheart’s letter, bat of course the sheriff paid no atten tion to the offer.

Tourists Returning Nouth The thousands of tourists from New England and other parts of the North who traveled over the Capitol High way to Florida last fall and*winter, are beginning to start on their long journey back to their homes and for the next few weeks there will be al most an unbroken procession of auto mobiles going north over this high way. People cannot travel without spending money and along the route these tourists will have to patronize the garages for repairs and gas and the hotels or the stores for food sup ples if they camp along the way. Thous ands of dollars will fall Into the hands of the people along the road. If this business continues to grow with the years it will place the South in the lime light as never before.

Through the spring, fires have been as plentiful as ever, and with about the usual tesults. Out along the Camp Bragg boundary they have been more than usually destructive. The worst feature is that the fires that have burned along the bor der of Moore county and the camp have originated in the camp and they have been among the most destruc tive of all the fires that have come 1 that way this year, says the Moore County News. A few weeks ago a big fire swept down from this side of the county line to away below Sheep pen creek, destroying buildings as it ivent, and about two weeks ago an- ■ jther one burned both sides of the ine. but did most of its work on the ■amp side where it started, and de stroying several buildings in the re rion around .Silver Run and down lames creek.
