The three young men were directly under the bin and ' had been there several hours when the steel beams twisted almost doubli aa* turned the tons of rock and gravel over on them. According to the contractor, tlie bin which is used for loading .truck-, with sand and rock at Wiltz Siding, was put into use for the lir.st time that day and the crane had not load ed it to two-thiids of its supposed capacity when the steel beams yielded to the load, causing the .structure to topple over with its tons' of roil, and gravel. So quickly did it happen that the loading contraption'* oper •tors had no time to jump, and it \va after it was all over-that the boy:, viewed the wreck and >■ owed their fright with shaking knees. Immediately following (he accident, Mr. Brown of the company telephon ed for another loading bin, nnd until ; its arrival, the contractors will u- a second bin almost entirely to earr) on the paving operations on Route Number 90.

T. MEADOWS , 1 Although there has , been reported a scarcity of tobacco plants in South ■ Carolina, tlx- crop in the two states has practically all been transplanted. According to the best posted men there is an average in crease over that of last year in South Carolina of ten to fifteen per cent., while in Georgia the increase is es timated to be from twenty-five to thirty-five per cent. In North. Caroling there is no com ; plaint as to the shortage of plants, and up to this writing it is under stood that Virginia has more than enough of plants. It is the opinion of many of those who are well posted on the tobacco Situation that this State will have a ten per cent, increase over , that of last year, while there is no increase ' unicipated in Virginia. i'here seems to be a difference of .opinion as to how much llright Belt tobacco can be cared for by the manufacturers and exporters this j coming Reason without lowering the price from last year's average which was twenty-one cents for 691,8KG,071 for Uie four bright belts. Some deal ers think we can stand a 700 million pound crop without lowering the, average. Others think different. "I don't know." But if thert*- is a normal! crop raised in each state, it is likely i | to go over 700 million pounds. There is considerable speculation .ml gue*g work as to the opening I dates for the different stntes for the | coming season. This matter will be j settled by the Sales Committee of | the Tobacco Association which meets j at Old Ponit Comfort, the latter part i i of June. This committee is composed f of high tone gentlemen and pioneers JUNIOR LEAGUE ORGANIZED HERE Boys From 10 to 15 To Have j Four-Club League Here This Summer Forty-four'boys, ranging in uge 1 I'rom ten to fifteen years, assembled | in the Woman's club hero lass night j where, under the supervision of Mr. | Harper Holliday, four junior base j bull teams were organized. Accepting i the caJi with greut interest, the young i boys sat, with mouths opened, "ami li. antd attentively to the instruc tions of the organizer and his as sistants: — : 1 " L! —-r— ~~ | Messrs.

Williamston, Martin County, North Carolina, Tuesday, April 17,1928 sin the tobacco trade and I am satis- ] tied they will do the right thing for i all the Bright Belt States. The probable tobacco planting for this year as per intentions March 1, according to the United States De partment of Agriculture .compared with last year's plantings will be as follows: Virginia planted 178,000 acres in 1927 and expects to plant 183,300 acres this year; North Carolina plant ed, in 1927, 660,000 acres and ex pects to plant 702,000 this year; South Carolina expects to increase its acreage from 104,000 to 119.6(H) this year and Georgia plans to in- | crease from 80,500 to 108,400 acres. ( 1 am satisfied that the Virginia j acreage Covers the whole of that state; if so about one half of it is } planted in dark-fired and sun-cured j tobaccos and the other half is bright tobacco and the reaminder of the states are bright tobacco. If- the government guess is right, the in- ' crease in acreage in 1928 over that 1 of 1927 would figure as follows, leav- ! ing out the State of Virginia: North Carolina, eight per cent.; South Carolina, fifteen per cent.; (ieorgia, thirty-three per cent. I These estimates tally very closely ' with those offered by the best post | ed men in the three states with the ; possible exception of Georgia. J The tobacco men in Williamston, with the increased floor space which I will be added to the warehouses, have ( | set their pegs for a twelev million j pound market the coming season and * I with a normal crop raised, they will 1 sell it. Watch and see if I am not ' uright for 1 know some things for the ■ good of this market that are not quite j ripe for printers' ink yet. FROST DAMAGES ■ SECTION'S CROPS i I Irish Potatoes Believed 1 , Damaged Twenty-Five Per Cent Damage to truck and garden crops J in this section by a heavy frost last night is said to be great by farmers, J in this and adjoining counties. This morning the housetops, as well us the , ground was white long after the sun l>eeped over the horizon and in many gardens the vegetables were left with black faces. Various estimates made on the dam age to the Irish potato crop vary, ( some saying the damage is very lit- . tie others stating that it is at least twenty-five percent. Damage in the I Everetts section is estimated to be i twenty percent. I Mr. M. 0. Blount, the Pitt County i potato king and who is generally i recognized as a potato expert, says i the damage is great on the dark I soils where there is considerable . vegetation. On the lighter soils, he j ! says the damage is not so great; yet, j ! he estimates that the average damage , will be about twenty-five per cent. , The Columbia and Aurora sections ) escaped serious injury from the frost, ( according to the best information ob- , tain able.

The hogs averaged around two hundred pounds in weight and sold for as high aB nine and a quarter c#nts per pound. Professor Overby stated that while the price was low, the shippers made a fair profit, and that they expected to make several shipments next- fall. "T • Federal Court Is Held in Washington This Week A lai'ge number of Martin County people are attending the Federal court in Washington this week where both civil and criminal cases are being heard by Judge I. M. Meek ins. The civil cases, it wns stated will be overshadowed by n lurge number of cases in which violations of the liquor laws are charged. Several such cases were sent from this county to be tried there. "Trial of the case in which Joseph H. Needleman, Philadelphia tobacco salesman, is asking SIOO,OOO damages from the members of a Martin coun ty mob that mutilated him several years ago, will not be tried at the April session of court," Washington papers stated yesterday. Just when the case will come up for trial is a matter of speculation, court officials stating that they have no idea when the case will be heard.

J. H. Hale and Rev. C« Ht Dickey, local pastors, got a "close-up" of the big mammal which sprawled itself across Wrightsville Beach for several days. Whether or not these two minor prophets made this trip merely to see the whale could not be ascertain ed; bt the fact remains that they and the whale Were visitors to WrighsviUe Beach at the same time. For many days now the pa pert' have been carrying stories of this monster. Already the Chicago and New York papers have not only w lit ten at length about it, but have been carrying pictures for their readers. J All sorts of descriptions have been given about it; it having been said that the whale was eighty feet in length, and weighed near one hundred tons. For the local readers what the preachers have to say about it may be of interest, and it is hoped, trust worthy. They say that the lady into v.-hosf yard the whale was deposited tells that the dead monster was pushed in to Wrightsville Beach by a school of j porpoises last Wednesday week, which was April 4. Since Wrightsville j Ileach is inhabited by many families I during the winter season, and since the pre-season activities there are about to open, there is right much emburassment resulting to the whale's extended and prolonged visit. Upon his arrival he was a thrice welcomed guest, as his coming was excellent advertising for Wrightsville Beach and Wilmington. For during the early days of his stay great crowds were attracted there from far and near. On the first Sunday it was estimated that fifteen thdusand people from out of the city came to I see the whale. The hotels, restaurants [FIDDLERS MEET ! AT JAMESVILLE —— To Be Held Friday, April 20;.F0r Benefit of * School With an official guarantee behind it, the Jamesvilie school is .staging a fiddlers' convention in the auditorium there next Friday (light, April 20. In announcing the convention, Mr. J. L. Jones, principal of the schools, states, "This is not for the benefi of the school alone, but for your benefit to hear some of the best violin play erg to be heard. And when we tell yog that Harry Rogers and Haze wood Creekmore with their many friends from Franklin county with their fiddles, violins and other musical instruments will be here, I am aure you will not miss this treat to hear the best." Approximately $25 in cash prizes will be awarded by the school, and fiddlers from this and adjoining coun ties are invited and urged to attend. LOAD POULTRY CAR NEXT WEEK Here on Evening of 24th and Morning of 25th ; at Rob ersonville in Afternoon According to a schedule announced today, higher price* will be paid for the next car of poultry to be shipped from this county next week. While there is no radical increase in the prices, there are from one- to three cent increases on practically all the types advertised. The car will arrive in WilliamSton about 10 «. m. next Tuesday and will be pulled to Rdbcrsbtiville the next morning where it will- be stopped for loading there in:the afternoon. Although it is not certain, it is the opinion of County Agent Brandon that this will be the last car to be shipped from the county this seas on. Ship Car Load of Hogs To Richmond Today County Agent T. B. Brandon left 1 for Richmond today accompanied by Messrs. Aaron E. Smith and Abram i Roberson, who will sell a carload of ' hogs to packing houses there, i This Is the first carload of hogs > to be shipped from Robersonyille. > While that section is an ideal tobac i co and cotton section, these .farmers i find time to grow and fatten hogs, i They have fine herds, and Mr. Bran ' don expects the qaulity of the ship ment to compare favorably with that 1 of any hogs raised either in North Carolina or Virginia. '- . - - j sand other public houses were not able to care for the extra demands. Over one approach to the Beach, one mat, said that nineteen hundred automo biles pasßt-d in one day. The Wil mington papers carried pictures, news j stories and even editorials, and they j all were having a "whale of a time", in general. After several days, the process ol j disintegration set in, as well as the j depopulation of Wrightsville Beach. Then instead of having an elephant on their hands, Ms we often hear, they had a dead whale. The comfort as well as/the health the citizens, was threatened, and a frantic effort was made to have the big monster i towed elsewhere. Accordingly, ar rangements were made with a com- | pany to move him away to an isojat- I ed spot, where his skeleton might be I saved for the State muvcum. But a big sea storm was raging, and they found it impossible to tpproach the I whale, until on Friday they were en abled to fasten some big cables about him with the intuition of pulling him hack to sea. No sooner had the tugs I started the pull than the cable broke | and it was all off, at least for the day J And when the preachers left Wilmington Friday afternoon, they lefV the whale right where they found it. Since then the, tugs succeeded in moving the body,' and it is under stood that the skeleton will be saved and sent to the museum. According to what the preachers said, the whale was about forty feet in length. His tail was about five feet across. He was one-third buried in the sands, but looked to be about eight feet through, as he lay on his side. He probably weighed thirty tons. A whale of medium size is said.i tc contain about fifty barrels of oil. Formerly the bones were used to make corset staves; but in this pres ent age, when customes and practices have changed, if is not known what is done with them. I ! LOCAL HI'S WIN, LOSE AND TIE Lose and Tie Doubleheader Friday; Have Better Luck Monday .* A victory, a tie and u loss wert recorded on the local high school baseball diamond last Friday and yes te rd ay , . _ •- t ■ Friday afternoon, in u seven inning game, the locals tied Jamesvilie 4- all. Up until the la.4t inning, Coach Hood's boys were leading 1 to 2, but a walk and errors in that frame made possible two runs'' for the Jamesvilie lads, resutling in a knotted score. In a second ganie that afternoon, the, locals lost to Washington Collegiate Institute, 6 to 0. The visitors were held to five but errors proved pensive for the locals ami resulted in runs for the collegians. Yesterday afternoon Everetts sent its team down for a five-inning af fair and lost 4 to 1. Teel performed in the box and Albeit Cook served ' well behind the 'box for the localu. Coach Hood'says that the boys are improving daily in their play, and that he is expecting good results in the gnmes thut are to be placed each week until the end of school. This afternoon the locals are play ; ing Columbia here and Friday they go to Washington to play a return game with the Washington Collegiate institute there. Presbyterians To Hold Revival Services Here Messrs. A. J, Crane and J. L, Yan dell, Presbyterian mnisters of Tur boro, will begin a two-weeks, meet- j ing here next Sunday night in a special tent on the Crawford lot on -Hmithwick and Church streets.

This action was decided upon when the commis sioners met with the contractor and agreed upon the cost for the addition al two feet. Work on the project was started last Friday, and yesterday the work was moving along very- rapidly. Much troilble was encountered, how ever, by town employees when they started moving fire hydrants and heavy electric light poles. With fail weather prevailing, the contractor states he will have the job completed by the latter part of the week. The widening of the street will greatly limit the sidewalk on the west side of the street, but it has"' been the prevailing opinion tie re, for some time that there was a greater need for mor street and less side walk. So pleased are many of the property owners along the street with the commissioners' order that they are offering assistance readily to the contractor in his work. FOOD SPECIALIST HERE THURSDAY r ~ Miss. Thomas Conducts Second Leaders' Train ing School Miss Mary E. Thomas, State Nu trition Specialist from lialeigh, con ducted the second leaders' training school held in the county here last Thursday in the Home Demonstration Agent's office. In spite of the heavy rains during the week all clubs were represented by two leaders. The following clubs had representatives, Mrs. J. 1). lliggs, Mrs. L. 11. llarris on.jif the , Home Depart ment of Williamston; Mrs. C: L. Wil son, Mrs. Abrani Koberson and Mrs. R. 1, Smith of the American Home Department, Robersonvillc and the Home Demonstration ' clubs were represented by Mrs. L. K. Gardner ' and- Mrs. C.

Daniel and Mrs. Fannie 11. llardison, of the Holly Springs club; Mrs. Xnowdy Ed wurdtr and Mrs. Florence Edwards, of the Poplar Point club and Mrs. Mary Godard and Mis. W. lirown, of the Jamesville club. Miss Thomas at this meeting con tinued the work from the previous school, discussing the effects of food upon the body and 2the diseases caused by the Jack of the different vitainines. * The discussion was well illustrated with pictures which Miss Thomas had colleced for the demon stration. The school was concluded 'with a demonstration ,pf liaked Cus tard Jlo emphasize the of eggs and milk in the diet. The women at tending this meeting had made some very attrcative posters, showing thg "energy-giving foods." This month, all the women will b*' working upon posters sho'wing the 4'Muscle-building foods". V* 1 Al Smith Club Gets Another Member Al Smith continues to grow in popu larity, a new member of club, bringing the list to twenty-eight right here, says: ' ' I It is with pleasure that 1 ask you i to add my name to the rapidly grow-' big membership of the Al Smith club. The availability of- Smith as, the Democratic nominee for President in the coming election is glaring indis putable, ovefwhelmingly. His record in public office as legislator and ex ecutive is distinguished; he is a po litical manager of the first order; he is.. a vote-getter that seems to - possess a kind of magic; he is a man whom his opponents at home not only repect but like. He is a perfectly conservative man about property, society, American poliUcal institu tions and American ideals. He be lieves in the roundness of the es tablished and in the honesty of its ideals. And he is a native of New York which state the Democrats need to win if they are to defeat the Republicans in a straight contest. It cannot be disputed that Governor A. E. Smith is clearly and completely available by ev#ry convention test. This, the nation is rapidly admitting as is witnessed by the growing list -fcf Smith-instructed delegates .to the Houston convention. W. H. CABSTARPUEN.
