I The annual convention of the Na tional Association i of Auction and Loose-Leaf Tobacco Warehousemen's Association, was held jiri Asheville list week, and dates were recommend ed for beginning jnarket sales in the various tobacco belts Friday in the. closing session of the convention.. Ac cording to 'the reports sent to the press for publication the opening date' pet for the'middle North. Carolina belt is September 11th. This is a tentative date and may be changed^ This in cludes the Sanford market. The San ford market opened last season on September 19th., 8 days later than this date. September 11th is' about the earliest date ever fixed for Sanford, and little more than one week makes quite a difference, yet this is not as - early as if should be. . Many great truck loads of tobacco were carried out of this section to other markets last season-before the' local market opened. This has been,. the result every season since the mar- i ket first opened year; ago. When the planters learn that the market will open at a reasonable' time' they are. not so apt to yield to the temptation to cany their tobacco to some other market before the local market opens. 'The business people of Sanford and Lee county will hardly kick should the market people stick to the date fixed.. If in thought that strong pres-’ **ott was brought'to-jbenr tel induce ' - • - ",v>e the date-Bp more than The Express learns that on Tuesday of last week Judge Johnson J. Hayes in Federal^, District Court in Greens boro, changed- the sefterice of a year and a day in a federal prison impos ed oil Matthew E. Wicker, a former postal employee in Sanford, to a fine of $1,295.05. Wicker was convicted when tried i»o weeks ago, on a charge of misapplication of funds in this amount. * Judge Hayes stated that he -,vc — allow the sum of $536.00, the accu mulated amount of Wickers Civil Ser vice retirement fund, to be applied on the fine, and as a complete restitution had been made, he would recommend that the remainder of the fine be re mitted. Wicker is a member of one of the best families, in this section, and as he was hel<i in high esteem , his shortage was a great surprise to his relatives and friends. EXTENSION HEAD TO SPEAK HERE State College Agriculturalist To Speak At County-Wide Picnic Saturday, 30th. It was noted in The Express last week that the Home Demonstration “Clubs would hold a big county rally and picnic for the members of the clubs and invited relatives and friends * at the court house on Saturday, June 30th. Preparations are now being made for this event that is expected to be the biggest thing af its kind ever held in the history of the county.
