Begin County Audit
*»—
The Frederick B. Hill Co. began an
audit of the county book* Monday.
Will it pay? is a question that can
!K*t be answered this early in the
game. '
That it will cost many hundreds of
dolars goes without saying, and will
perhaps take many- months. With
men getting $25 per day, it soon runs
into money.
It seems impossible in these latter
days to tell anything about public af
The Nem Ford
The new model Ford in now 6n our
streets. The Williamston Motor Co.
received their first one Wednesday.
The car presents considerable more
conveniences than the old type, and
some more style. There is a longer
body, higher hood, change of gas tank,
and numerous other things.
Yet the Ford voice is the same.
Billboard M on the Streets
Why does Williamston permit bill
baords to take up one-third of the
sidewalks? Not only do the numer
ous signs and billboards obstruct and
render travel unsafe and troublesome,
but it makes the town very unsightly
to have a board spread half across a
sidewalk, advertising some brand of
ice cream or some kind of dinner, re
quiring everybody to have to walk a
rcund. But show pictures; in fact,

There is scarcely a probability that
any irregularities will be found in any

Perhaps the car is more substantial
and better than the old model. While
the price remains the same, the cost
to produce the car must be consider
ably more than the old type.
It seems that no matter who make*
automobiles, Ford always keeps ahead,
producing more than all the othe*

TUf DAY YOUR MA# VMM 1M V / ' "
In looking over an old Red Cross
Magazine the other day we found the
following:
Behind a loaf of bread is an army
of workers. First, there is the wheat
grower. A big, clever man, with a
trained mind. Then, there is the man
who invented the wonderful machines
lhat plowed and sowed and reaped and
gathered the wheat for this loaf of
bread.
Next comes the mill owner, whose
mill ground and packed the flour. He
manages his great mill and his work
ers by the strength of his trained
mind.
Then, there is the manager in the
bakery where this loaf was baked.
Just as (here are bakers and d sh
waiihers, and packers. Just as there
are delivery men.

THIS IS (GENERAL MANAGER RICHARD R. PATTERSON'S PLEDGE TO THE
MEMBERS OF THE TOBACCO GROWERS COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION
Last week Mr. Patterson, with the ban kers' valuation experts, made a survey of
the markets in eastern North Carolina, an d from them he received assurance that the
Federal Intermediate Credit Banks will continue its support of the association to hold
the price of up.
Growers who will receive full value th is season have pooled their tobacco. Con
ditions responsible for low prices on auction floors are bound to adjust later. The to
bacco which is marketed in an orderly way will be the tobacco which will show 21 profit..
when this adjustment comes.
■■ ■- WHAT IS THE ASSOCIATION GOING TO DO?
READ MR. PATTERSON'S REPLY TO THIS QUESTION:
"The association is going to do just wh at it has done since organization: Provide
for the grower a service corporation which will enable him to market his tobacco in
an orderly-way. Unless and until the grower and the business man avail themselves
of this service, no power beneath the blue canopy of heaven can do anything about the
low prices the growers are now receiving."
