MARKET SHOWS ; STRONGER TONE Ite|H>rts Karly Tuesday Morning (Imp (Quotations on Sweets Kaiifiiiif; From $6..?0 l? ST a Barrel ONLY FEW (".AllLOADS ] Shipments Not Yet lloavv;1 If Market Molds lip Crop ( Will Net Grower* Neat Profit This Year > A somewhat stronger tone was Indicated in the tweet potato mar ket Tuesday morning on a basis of | farly reports from New York.1 with quotations ranglriK from $6.T>0 to $7 a barrel. Only three I or four carloads of early sweets have been shipped front Elizabeth; City to date and If the market con-1 tlnues to hold firm around the foregoing figures sweet potatoes will net a neat profit to the grow- j ?rs this season. Perhaps a bar rel represents a fair return to the grower for his labor and invest ment. Anything abovo that figure is velvet. Tuesday marked the heaviest movement of sweets thus far this; season, four carloads arriving here! by boat for reshlpment over thej Norfolk Southern to points North, j With favorable prices and weath-: er the movo of potatoes Is expect ed to gain momentum from now until the peak of the season Is reached which will probably be next week. The bulk of the sweet potato| crop of Camden and Currituck Is shipped through Hlizabettf City, though since the opening of the Albemarle and Chesapeake canal as a free waterway some part of, the crop has moved to Northern markets by way of Norfolk Instead of by way of Kllzabeth City. Shawboro this year Is hoping for a considerably part of the crop that for the past few seasons has .been moving directly to Norfolk1 by boat. Anticipating lively shipments of sweet potatoes this week, buy ers from Northern and Middle Western commission firms began arriving here early this week. A representative number are now on the ground energetically bidding against one another for this year's crop. A market K. O. Ii. Elizabeth (City and other shipping points [will no doubt be established tills: week. Practically all of the sweet po ' tato crop loaded on freight cars at Kllzabeth City is grown in low er Camden and lower Currituck counties. The only other section In the State from which potatoes are shipped In bulk to Northern i markets is In Tyrrell, auothei Al bemarle County. The Tyrrell crop usually begins moving about a I week ahead of that in Camden and | Currituck. The digging and shipping of the main bulk of tho early sweet po tato crop is generally completed | by the last week in August. How ?ver. when late prices are favor-, able the movement of sweets con tinues until well luto the fall. I IF WOUNDED M AN SURVIVES, BE IIEl.I) FOR WIFE'S DE VI II Italeliih, Auk. 9?If I). SI.

(AI't| ?The confession of Clem Wrcnn.l president of the defunct Hank of Wilkes, that lie alone was re sponsible for the Issuance of thOj six unaccounted for Wilkes County, notes ill IH5,noli ami that nil of these were forgeries. has brought much relief to at least several of ficials and citizens of Wilkes, ac cording to information received here today. In addition to having t? money in the defunct bank, the county was faci'd with the six notes, part of them being held by New York banks, of which there was no trace in the records of the county. These notes were first dis covered a short time ago when several wen present! d for collec tion. In a written confession which caiiH' after consultation with his attorneys, the former president of the bunk of Wilkes who i? charged with forgery, false insurance of a note, for $25,000 and embezzle ment, takes full responsibility and not only admits the forgery of the county commissioners' note in question, but comes across with the open and frank statement that he forged and got the money for $125,000 more. The double money dcaliiiK business, it Is learned has l?e?*n going on over a period of about four years. He hud the full confidence of not only county officials but practically ev erybody In Wilkes. It was an easy matter for him to fool them and he admits that is just what lie did. Hut now be is repentant, he says. "I don't want anybody lo suffer for my sin* hut myself.

I'spt'eKilly *oy beail*, come to North Carolina: where crowing of sov bean* first' won national al lent ion. So it is re garded as most fittlnK that the American Soybean Association should hold its annual meeting in North Carolina. as it j- doing this year. the first ?e*?iou opening to niulit in Washington. JK. as a tribytc to those seel ions of the State whieh first made North Car-! olina famous for its growing of these beans. In recent years, however. North' Carolina ha* lost its lead as a soy t bean growing state to the middlei west, though tlie value of soy' bean seed raised in this State in' l'J-'b was $:!.2!h:.oiiu, without tuk-j iug into consideration the value of the hay. arfordiug to the 13. S. | Department of Agriculture report. And in the production of soybean: seed, North Carolina still ranks second, witii Illinois holding the lead. At" present. Illinois has twice the acreage, of North Caro lina iu Soybean*, Missouri almost as much as Illinois, und Indiana, Ohio, and Tennessee and several others, now grow as much as North Carolina does despite the fact thai lo year* uro North Caro lina led the I*lilted States ill soy-| beau production. So it is that as a result of the efforts of Fred 1*. Latham, of Bel*I haven, president of the American Soybean Association, the associa tes year for its annual cunven-' lion, to visit the cradle of the soy-, bean industry in the I'nlicd States, and lo see just how much it is being developed iu 111 is Slate. As a result of the arrangements that have been made, most of the con-' vention sessions will be held eitli-' er on wheels or iu the soybean fields, and by I he time it closes on Thursday, those attending it will have visited not only the chief soybean growing areas iu the State, but some of the finest ag ricultural sections as well. Following tho. opening session tonight at Washington, the mem bers of the association will leave there early Wednesday morning for u tour of Iteaufort and llyde counties, arriving at Swan Quar ter at noon for a picnic lunch. I On the relurn trip from Swan Quarter u stop will be made al Hay view for a sea food dinner and bathing iu I'ainlico Itiver lor those who desire. A second night session will be held in Washing ton. Martin and llertlo counties will be visited by the motorized CON-1 vention on Thursday, llertic is the largest peanut growing county iu the United Slates, while murh ex-1 cellent diversified farming is to; be found throughout this entire section. The motorcade will pass over two of the Spate's longest1 bridges, the Chowan llrldge, over the Chowan Itiver, and the new bridge over the Koanoko Itiver. A short stop will be made in Kd?n ton to allow the incinocm of the party to see some of the places of historic interest there. Then the cavalcade will proceed on to Kliz abcth City where luiicheon will be served. In the afternoon the mem bers of the association will see demonstrations of soybean har vesting machinery manufactured in Klizabelh City. Tills will be fol lowed by a tour of some of the great soybean farms in that sec tion. The evening program, whn ii will be held in Klizaheth City, will couclude the convention. The popularity of the soybean as a stock food has grown by leaps and bounds In all sections of th?.- country, according to Frank i'arkcr, of the Cuiiiteil Stales Crop deporting Service here, when asked why the soybean had be come so important in recent years. ' The soybean Is easy lo glow, easy to cultivate, easy to harvest sud easy to cure ami keep," said Mr. I'arker, "with the added ad vantage that it Is relished more l?y all kinds of ntock ? horses, cow.i or hogs?-either as hay, or In oth er forms. In fact, it is superior In every way to cow peas, and Is rapidly supplanting cow peas, for the seed does not cost as much, while,-the yield In the amount of hay Ik about twice as great." It is expected that the holding of rlils convention of the Soybean tilii7r >t'ho>''|r|t'r n^x't of" th*"* "","1 toward growing an increased acre age if this crop, and that North Carolina may to a degree regain its position as one of the biggest growers of eoybean*.
