Jamesville Teacher Cleared
of Assault Charge in
Justice's Court
* :
Brought into a J. I'. court here yes
terday afternoon for whipping Tilgh
man Colt rain, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Ira T. Coltrain, of Jamesville, Mr. O.
T„ Hickman, professor in the school
there, was released of the charge and
the case was dismissed.. ,
According to the evidence heard by
Justice «f the Peace Asa T. Crawford,
the boy was punished when he vio
lated several of the schoi's rules. It
was pointed out that the Bixth grade
pupil had struck a match while prac
dicing a play, and when Professor
Hickman corrected the lad he made
remarks unbecoming a boy of his age
and failed to do as the school man
directed.
On the stand, Tilghmun offered a
slight over-grown description of the
six feet long ai\d £s large
as his finger. Other witnesses stated
that the .whip was hardly, more thun
three feet in length, and the size of
a little finger. The boy admitted that
the affliction was only temporary,
that by the time he stopped crying
the pain was absent,'
The father stated that he examined
the boy and found a number of
streaks on his back. On cross exami
nation, Mr. Coltrain stated that his
feelings were hurt by the whipping
given his boy, that he had stated if
the boy was paid he would drop
the case. (jr*
Judging from~«jie facts given at
the hearing, Mr. Ipltrain was of the
opinion that Proftttsor Hickman had
nothing to do witlf the discipline of
children other than llm.> e in the grade
taught by the prtxessor. Principal
Pollock explained it was one of
the duties of Mr. Hickman to handle
discipline in the primary and elemen
tary grades when necessary.
After the evidence had been heard
in detail and argument had been
made by B. A. Critcher for .the prose-
H. G. Horton for the de
fense, Judge Crawford rendered a
verdict of not guilty.

KIWANIS HEARS
WAREHOUSEMAN
( 'Uncle Buck' Meadows Dis
cusses Outlook for
Tobacco
_—*
As guest of the Kiwanis Club at
its luncheon here last Wednesday, Mr.
\\ *4". Meadows, veteran Williamston
warehouseman, discussed the outlook
for tobacco in this territory and made
suggestions on the warehousing prob
lems here.
According to his views, the acreage
MI the six tobacco-growing counties
supporting this market will be fully
as great asa it was last year. It was
Mr. Meadows' belief that the fanner
fixed the acreage in his mind-during
the fall, and there is no way of chang
ing it.
He expressed some doubt as to the
|>advisab}lity of making a, big crop, al
[ though the use of cigarettes is rapidly
increasing He said that the fact that
hurley tobacco sold last season almost
twice as high as East Carolina and
Georgia tobacco is giving some a!„arm,
I because several of the largest cigarette
I manufacturers are using hurley prinei
| pally, -which means less demand for
| our bright tobacco.
I . This will force ns to depend largely
upon the foreign markets for our type
01 tobacco. Heretofore England has
used most of the better grades of all
HI our exports, but other countries are
buying liberally of all our grades.
China has recently placed a higher
tariff- on cigarettes and at the same
time lowered the tariff" duty on leaf
tobacco. This means a better market
foi the American leaf to the Chinese
millions, which would seem to give
-the American farmer a chance to sell
ins bright tobacco in C hina, even if
his tobacco at Ironic is being crowded
out by the hurley types.
