VOLUME 23—NUMBER 49
Thirty Million Dollars Are
Raised in Thirty Minutes
Thirty million dollars in thirty
minutes is tue world's record es
tablished by the Directors of the
largest cooperative marketing as
sociation of America who met with
Kugeno Meyer jr., and officials of
tne War Finance Corporation in Wash
ington, D. C. last week.
The committee of directors from the
Tobacco Growers Cooperative Associ
ation secured approval f the loan for
the 75,000 tobacco farmers of Virginia
North Carolina uml South Carolina,
which now assures the success of their
association beyond a doubt.
Officers of the War Finance Cor
poration were so familiar with the
management of the Association, and
so confident of its success that they
took only thirty minutes to signify ap
proval of the greatest loan ever made
to organized farmers, in the history
of the United States.
In addition to th loan of $30,000,000
which wil enable the big Tobacco Co
operative to pay its members cash ad
vances upon delivery of their tobacco,
the War Finance Corporation agrees
to re-discunt loans secured by green
or soft order tobacco for local banks
throughout the Virginia-Carolina to
bacco belt.
Tho loan of the War Finance Cor
poration is to be secured by r.iore
than 350,000,000 pounds of its memb
ers tobacco now under five years con
tract with the Tobacco Growers Co
operative Asfociation, which repre
sents a value of over $70,000,000 In
the first year of operation, according
to conservative estimates.
Among the ofiic.als of the Tobacco
Growers Cooperative Association who
met with Eugene Meyer jr., Director
of the War Finance Corporation wero
Geojfae A. Norwood, President, banker
und planter of Goldaboio N."C.; Oliver
J. Sands, General Manager of the As
sociation and President of the Ameri
can National Bank of Richmond Va.;
James H. Craig, T eaaurer of the As
sociation; Richard It. Patterson, Gen
eral Manager of th 1-eaf Dc-pai-tment,
formerly Manager uf the L -af Depart
ment of the American Tobacco Co.;
C. B. Cheatman and F. G. Williams of
the Leaf Department ar.d M. C. Wil
son, Secretary of the Board of Dir-,
eetors which consists of 22 tobacco
planters from Virginia, North Caro
lina ami Suth Carolina, and three Dir
ectors named by the Governor of
those sUffts.
Following: the example of the But:-
ley Tobacco Growers Association of
Kentucky, which after securing a simi
lar credit from the War Finance Cor
poration was enabled to ;.ain all jieces
sary funds from State local banks,
and to repay their 90 day loans of
$6,000,000 within 40 days. Officials
of the Virginia-Carolina Association
are confident of obtaining the support
of state and local bankers for whom
the offer of the War Finance Corpoe
ati n opens a new field of frofitable
(M)o pe ration with tobacco farmers
throughout the belt.
For the organized tobacco growers
and the thousands of farmers from
three states who are joining the As
sociation every month, the action of
the Waf Finance Corporation wuirftfr
the safe and orderly maketing of to
bacco which resulted in largely in
creased profits and a new source of
credit for Kentucky farmers whose
organization has now sold 70,000,000
pounds of tobacco for highly satis
factory prices, during the month re
ceiving an average of 29 cents a pound
for tobacco sold through the Associ
ation, while that sold outside the As
sociation brought less than 21 cents
per pound upon the auction ware
house floors. »
Clse to 80 per cent of the Tobacco
farmers of Virginia have joined the
Marketing Association, and North
Carolina growers are nearing a 75
per cent sign-up following the recent
statewide campaign for members.
A whirlwind campaign among to
bacco farmers of South Carolina will
begin next. Monday, June 26 and will
continue every one of the 3*B cooper
ative marketing points of the South
Carolina belt bas been reached with
a mass meeting.
Leaders of the movement from
Kentucky, Virginia and North Caro
lina wil ljein this campaign which will
v *narl. the last opportunity for South
Carolina farmers to market this yeeri
crop with the giant cooperative.
The Tobacco Growers Cooperative
Association has now secured 206 wan
houses where it will receive tobacet
from Its members as the markets oper
in three States.

OBSERVATIONS ON
EASTERN CAROLINA
(Articles from Col Fred A. Olds in
"The Orphans Friend.")
Traveling men know the joke told
by one of their number on Parmelee,
which has been called the railway
clearing-house for northeastern North
Carolina. The comtiwcial travler
declared he had been on the road 80
years and had spent a third of that
time waiting for trains at Parmelee.
Trains pop in and out like a jack-in
a-box, from all directions. Some
times there is a "covey" of trains,
and in a few minutes the tiny place
is left alone. A lame roster attends
all trains, crows when they come in
TWHI spends th erest of the time pick
ing pp a good living by getting what
passengers toss out of the windows.
At one station the "voting prU
mafcy" was in full blast and In the
porth of a house sat a lady poll-hold
er a chair, as neat as a
pin fcnd with a smile for all. She
was a' picture of comfortableness. At
anothe* station a "flapper" of uncer
tain at& stood under a sign which
read "itynt." It was remarked by
pasengers that lite sign wasn't nec
essary. Sh{ had all the paint her face
could carry* A wit described a "flap-
Der" as a female creature of uncer
tain age, wltk little clothing an even
less sn.sej Who would require six
months' training in order to enter the
kindergarden department of the State
School for the feeble-minded." An
othr flapper wa# in the car, and
sitting between ti»p young men al
ternately kissing ortv and then the
other. The conducto* declared he
had never before witnessed such a
proceeding. Yet this flfcpper, like the
other one, must had havfc a mother.
It is a joy to see the highway con
struction in the northeast. One of
the grand pieces of construction is
the bridge 4,000 feet long, includ
ing the approaches, across the Roa
noke civer at Williamuton. Not a
lew people in that part of the state
did not believe the river could be
bridged below Weldon.*' This bridge
will be a notable link in the Charlotte
Raleigh-Norfolk highwuy. It is ex
pected that the bridge will be complet
ed in August. It is the longest in the,, s
state.
TkrKoro folks are justly p'roud of
their old paper, the Southerner. It
was first issued ih 1824 and has seen
almost 100 years rell along*, Two
years hence it wil its cen
tennial in handsome style. It is the
oldest daily in the state, its editor
proved. _
A farmer in Washington county,
who was asked if he knew can
teloupes for the market said he did
not, for the reason that some sort
of disease attacked them. When ask
ed if he had applied to the Agricul
tural Department for a remedy for
the disease he said he had not and
dtfTnot konw it had anything to do
with Wuch matters! It certainly does
appear difficult to get the news to the
folks.
CONCERNING DETOURS
The following is an abstract from
the North Carolina Highway Bulletin.
One of the necessary evils that go
with a large road building program,
such as that now in progress in North
Carolina, is the fact that the motoring
public must of necessity use detours
or little tiaveltd roads. That this is
an inconvenience everyone will agree
but without a certain amount of In
convenience road and bridge construc
tion cannot proceed and the annoy
ance of having to detour must be
horn with as much patience as possible
by all concerned.
It has been the earnest endeavor of
theCommiasion to have every detour
so marked that there can be no mis
taking the route that should be fol
lowed, but in spite of thie there is
, always some travlers who, instead of
following the detours marked and
, maintained by the commission depend.
on local information from some one
I who wilfully misdirects the traveler.
, Several instances of this have been
, brought t othe attention of the com
mission and the blame misplaced.
, There are two points of special im
, portance in connection with detourr?
, which should be of interest and also
, be observed by every engineer of the
commission and every citizen that
travel the roads of Martin county.
First of these is keeping the road in
as good condition as is reasonably
possible and the carefully parking of
- the detour. The second is the neces
r sary cooperation o fthe public in eare
-9 fully following the road a sdireeted
by those in authority.

ROANOKE BRIDGE IS
NEARING COMPLETION
Due to the high water which b as
been present for the past several
weeks, work «n the Roanoke Bridge
has been practically at * srktulistill,
but with the falling of the water work
has recommenced with a new vigor,
and it is the aim of the engineers to
continue work at a rapid pace until
the last span is finished. There is yet
a large amount of work to be done,
and to the eye of the onloker it ap
pears to be enough to last several
more months, but it appears different
to the engineers who say that the
project will be finisher around August
Ist.
The working crew is,now at work
on the Conine Bridge and it is the
present plans of the engineers to fin
ish this bridge and then return to the
large bridge which spahs the old Roa
noke and finish it.
lf thera is a celebration to be had
on the completion of this project,
there should be sufficient plans made
now for it, and there is no better time
to lay the plans than now. It would
be advisable to have such a celebra
tion so as to be rememberede through
out this generation, and event thai
would be of equal notoriety as the
bridge itself, and one that would place
in the soul of Windsor and surround-1
ing territory a welcome feeling from
their neighbor. To whom is this task
to fall—We trust that it will not fall
to the' other fellow ?
DANGER IN GOVERNMENT HYPO
CRISY
Hypocrisy in government has done
more than anything lese to create dis
respect lo law. While it .may be true
that national morals differ completely
from the code set up for individuals,
the fact remains that the national
hypocrit always must suffer when the
mask is torn off. The United States
stands today as the greatest boot
legger in the world and the apotheosis
of buncome. On the one hand appiopri
ating money for the punishment 61'
individuals trafficking in liquors, on
the other openly selling booze on A
merican owned ships, the government
presents a spctablc of humbuggery
more dangerous than astounding, foi
there is nothing of news in the dis
closure that American ships have
been sellng booze outside the three
mile limit. This is and has been al
ways a matter of comthon knowledge,
jftio startling development is giving
•the information officially to the pub
lic, which has known all about the
condition and winked at the violation
without concern. Shipping nren, many
of them supporters of prohibition, al
ways have contended that American
ships cannot hold passen/fer trade as
against foreign ships if the American
ships are dry, and as tlio dollar has
been the standard of morality, the re
sult has been a wet fleet, wi\h Ameri
ca forced to depend on m»uth-to
niouth advertising of the (act that
prohibition really had no meaning for
the American Government if the
blinds could be drawn down.
Dragging the issue into the sun
light at this time is likely to have a
far reaching effect on the future of
the American merchant marine, Per
haps the throwing of the bombshell
was forseen and explains ~OTT urgent
effort to obtain a ship subsidy. The
should be squarely faced. A dry
fleet is a dead fleet, yet American
ships are necessary to American pro
gress. While prohibition is the law the
United .States should run dry ships or
no ships. Government violation of itf
own Laws is a dangerous precedent for
any country to set, anu hypcritical e--
vasion of the spirit of the law is no
better.
CHEAPER THAN CIGARETTES
"These telephone bills are getting
terrible," exploded the little fat man
as he lighted a cigarette.
"So?" inquired his tall lanky
friend. ' -
"Yes it is an outrage,' continued
the little f&t man, blowing a cloud
of smoke into the air. "Here's my bill
for last month —two dollars and ten
cents. Why, man, It's highway rob
bery." „
'How many cigarettes do you smoke
a day 7"
"What's that got to do with by tele
phone bill? Why change the subject?
I tell you these telephone bills almost
break a fellow these . J
"I'm not changing the sroject. Howl
many cigarettes do you smoke?"
"Oh, a package a day, I guess."
"Well at twenty cents a package,
you are spending six dollars a month
just for cigarette*" which you bum
up for your own personal satisfaction.
That is three times the amount of
your telephone "bill, which covers ser
vice to yourself and family, 24 hours
a day. I dont see that you kave any
thing to kick about."
"Say I guess you're right. I never
thought of It that way before."

REVIEW OF CROP AND
LIVE STOCK CENSUS
We are just in receipt 1 of maps of
North and South Carolina which show
the acreage of principal crops and live
stock census for each in the two states
This map shows and gives much
valuable information. It was prepared
by the National State and City Bank
of Richmond. Martin county is given
acres of corn 20,594, cotton 11,479,
tobacco 7,911, sweet potatoes 1,320,
peanuts 19,325. Number of horses
1,221, mules 3,641, cattle 3,780,-hogs
24,145.
This information shows us that only
one fifth of the land In our county
is growing the leading crops. That for
each inhabitant in the county there is
cultivated three acres of land. This of
course is much more than is required
in the densily populated countries,
where three acres very comfortably
takes care of a whole family. It is
nticeable as-well as unfortunate to see
that of the Martin county crops pro
duced sixty five per cent is what we
call money crops,.and only 35 per cent
is food for man and animal.
In Gaston county of the total aver
age (18 per cent is in. food crops and
only 32 per cent money crops, and yet
Gaston county has much more wealth
than. Martin. Gaston saves two profits
that Martin loses. We raise a crop
and pay a profit to market it, and
take the proceeds less tho profit and
buy ourselves food, paying another
profit.
It looks as if Gaston (Which we use
to illustrate) is much wiser than Mar
tin.
No item on the map is .more to be
regretted than the few cattle we
have , only one for each 5 1-2 persons.
The cow produces the cheapest anil
best food yet discovered, and our
country should have twice as many
cattle as it now owns.
In the number of hogs Martin out
classes most if its neighbors. We have
24,145. Beaufort a much larger county
has 24,812; Edgecombe 20,328; Hali
fax 18,162. We have at present 4,762
hoses and mules which is one for each
13 acres of land tended. In good farm
ing this Is thought to be not enough.
There is yet ground for Improvement.

NEWS LETTER FROM
THE STATE CAPITAL
(By Marwell Gorman.)
Raleigh, June 27.—We1l the cam- i
paign in the Seventh Judicial Dis
trict und the Third Congressional
District, according to visitors from
tho latter district and the ideas, from
some young and some old ,of people
in Raleigh and ther'abouts, is assum
ing some curious twists and turns,
not to speak of curves, an the con
tests run heavily of lading calls for.
The smokestack of the overpaid
engineea (would you believ it?) is
making sonle passengers keep their
heads inside the windows, and some
lovers of the toothsomo plug find a
cuspidor anywhere the aml>er fluid
strikes as the cars dodge the search
light headlights of the auto hillbill
ies—for they are taking an extra
chaw since the rumor struck a cake
of Ivory soap and spread the stun
ning news that the wimmin' (purdon
the omission," in this particular- In
stance) would next thing take the
last weed out of the poor man's
mouth.
The issues of the campaign are
therefore "clearly defined,' 'as Josiah
Wilhelm told 'em over in Franklin
county, and as a rumor has just
struck town that the "slop bucket
brigade" means to ride the old his
torical animal of Biblical fume at this
writing seems to he even more flab
bovgasted, with the accent on the
g-a-s, than is at all necessary.
Mr. Hinsdale thinks he will re
ceive u larger proportionate vote in
Wake than in the first primary. Mr.
Evans believes he will have a majority
in Franklin lurge enough to over
come the Hinsdule majority in Wake
—and the result seems to de-pend up
on this contingency—exactly.
Charles Lahan Abernathy of New
Bern, who was a Kaleigh visitor the
-past -week lookiL to ha ve the chances
in his favor, but Matt- Allen, of
Goldsboro, is a runner of fine metal,
and the three quarters stretch some
times leaves the head runner a nose
of so, don'cherknow.
Most people 'round here will be
glad when tho spasm is over, for it
has been taking up too much of some
people's time—such is the allegation.

NATION'S HISTORY
IN ADVERTISING
Historians who study newspapers
to lemm the habits and customs of
peoples My they gain mot* informa
tion from advertisements than from
news accounts, and that the inform*,
tion is more accurate. Advertisements
tell their stories 1 without the intrusion
of the editorial blue pencil. They show v?
the development in transit, they dis
close the changing conditions of the
home, they announce the birth of
scientific discovery and invention,
they prove the worth of that which la
true and lasting and unmercifully ex
pose the sham and the fraud. They
tell of our varying taste in drees,
they show our belief In sanitation,
they disclose our love of sport, de
scribe our woik, they mark the change
in the status of womanhood ani youth
they visualise the moulding of oar
morals and our methJs and present
to us humanity from the financier to
the finale hopper.
The nowrpaper subscriber who fail*
to read advertisements misses more
than half the value of hia favorite
publication. Advertising ia news of
j the highest Importance and the most
reliable news presented to the people.
During th war, when Michael Fried
sam, the great New York merchant,
was appointed to serve as Fair Price
Commissioner by the government waa ... .
asked how the public could be best
kept informed as to honoacy of prices.
His reply was terse and true: "Let
them read the newspaper advertise
ments."
PRINTING THE NEWS
What is news 7 Not the multidinoua
everyday deed of mankind but the un
usual happenings are to be classed aa
news. A man plowing a horse or mule
in the corn or cotton fielda is not new*
for hundreds of me are doing that
very thing. But for a womn to harness
her huaband and plow cotton and com
with him pulling the plow would be
news and merit a story on the front
page of the leading dailies, becauna
men are not accustomed to pull plows.
A good newspaper reporter la the
man who is ou the ground when and
where hell breaks loose and is able
to tell what he saw. Stories of crime,
scandal and hereay get on the front
pag ebecause criminals, scandalmong
ers and heritica are in tiho minority.
If there were mor criminal i than law
ubiding citizens, the newspapers would
write about the honeat man. If the
majority reveled in what wo call scan
dal, the news Agencies would look for
the fellow who had not run away with
some other man'a wife, so that a news
story might be forthcoming. Heritica /
ure rare, hence their news value.
For these very reasoncs th daily
nwspupers are giving prominence to
the ugly things of society.
Out of 1,000,000 people there may '
be 100 criminals who get their name*
in the papers, and some folks jump
to the conclusion that the 999,900 of
whom no mention has been made, are
like to the 100, who commanded n
newspaper story. We hear of the man
who murders his wife, but not of tha
millions who low and potrect their
wives. Goodness ia not news, vice
is, because there la more ifoodneas In
the world than there ia vice. And tha
pessimist feeds on the stories of vice,
so that hia pssimiam may increase,
and that man shall not be disappointed
