New Warehouse Is Almost Complete The New Central Tobacco Ware- :house now being erected on the -corner of 5th and Market streets, is expected to be made ready for occupancy next week. The outside work is now practically complete. Grayson D. Thornton, the manager, came from his home at Huntington, W. Va., and is now getting things lined up for the opening of the merket in Smithfield. Mr. Thornton is an experienced warehouseman, who is well and favorably known to many of the to bacco growers of Johnston County. His presence and his activities in Smithfield during the tobacco sea- .son are expected to prove to be of walue to the Smithfield market. Dr. Wade H. Atkinson, of Wash ington, D. C., who is spending some time in this coirmiunity during the construction of a new dam at the old Atkinson mill site, told us some rather interesting things about the history of this old mill. He says that it has been a mill site for the past 235 years. From about 1711 un til 1858 this property was in the Richardson family ,if not longer, as the court house records were burned when the county court house was destroyed by fire in 1790. The records show that the will of John Richardson made in 1790 left this property to Joseph Richard.son, who in turn gave it to Lunceford Rich ardson. About 1858 Lunceford Rich ardson was drowned at this mill while trying to save a sack of corn for a neighbor during a freshet in the river. Following the death of Lunceford Richardson the property went to his daughter, Martha, who married Thomas Atkin-on, father of Dr. Wade H. Atkinson, and in this way Dr. Atkinson became owner of this famous old mill. Dr. Atkinson says that he is spending much money in improving this property than he can hope to ever recover from the operation of the mill, but feels that its worth to the community will continue to be felt long after he shall have passed from the scene of action in this life, and for that reason he is willing to put his money into it The dam is beng constructed with rock and concrete, and the founda tion is of reinforced concrete and rock. When completed the dam will back water over two or three hun dred acres of land, however, the size of the pond above The new rtSm will not be materially larger than that of the old dam. The pond had eight or nine thousand fish placed in' it last year ,and if he can get them, he intends stocking it with many more as soon as the new dam is complete, which, according to prog ress being made at this time, will not be long, as a good part of the work has already been done. Dr. Atkinson said that up in Washington where his friends' seem to think he is a man of considerable means, but who have never heard just how he acquired all of it—to satisfy their interogations they are informed by him that his Great grandfather left him a “dam” sight and he decided that the best way to use this would be in the construc tion of a mill dam. “Spend Under Blue Eagle” Says Johnson Mrs. Francis Park MacDougall i.s shown above as she presented ten gallons of Carolina Pines Mineral Water to Marvin H.

C., for the ne.xt two weeks at least. If the Pre-i- dent likes the water and feels that it is beneficial he will be supplieu indefinitely. A group of Raleigh people pre sented ten gallons of the water to the President through his private secretary, Marvin M. McIntyre., The water was delivered to the White House by truck from Raleigh. , Mr. McIntyre received the gift from Mrs. Francis Park MacDougall. and E. E. Brown, both of Raleigh. " In presenting the water, Mrs. MacDougall said; “We have the honor on behalf of H. A. Carlton, founder and owner of Carolina Pine , 'North Carolina’s New Playground,’ and home 'of this mineral water, to deliver this for presentation to the President of the United States for his good health and with the best wishes of the people of North Caro lina.” ' Mr. McIntyre replied ,smiling, that good water was o hobby of Mr. Roosevelt and that he was glad to receive a good mineral water from the Tar Heel people for whom the President held such warm regards. The fame of this mineral water, arising amid the sporting and healthful environment of Carolina Pines, is spreading rapidly through the East. Presented and received with enthusiastic interest in Rich mond, Washington, and Baltimore by statesmen and men of science. Carolina Pines as a spa and a place of recreation, is becoming well kno'wn throughout the East, and bids fair to have its water and sporting facilities even more widely known. Mr. Carlton, founder and owner of this extensive project, is still planning greater expansion of the development. ProceedingsCounty Recorder’s Court state vs Andrew Wilson, colored laborer, aged 19.

PERSONALS. Rev. and Mrs. W. J. Crain and daughter, Helen Frances, Mrs. Geo. E. Upchurch, of Apex, and Mr. and Mrs. J. N Wiggs spent the week end at Carolina Beach Mr T. S. Krahenbuhl has return- d from Birmingham, Ala., where le spent several days with his 'brother, who has been ill for some Jme. He reports his brother as be- mg much improved. Messrs. James R. Standi, of Smithfield, and H. H. Lowry spent the week-end at Minnesott Beach. Mayor William I. Godwin and Mr. E. Grant made a busine^trip to Wilmington Tuesday. Messrs. E. G. Hobbs, Floyd C.

Frank Daniels, of The News & Observ'er, was the principal speaker at the weekly meeting of the local Kiwanis Club held in the city audi torium last night. A large number of the business men and ladies be sides the members of the club were present. Kiwanian C. P. Harper introduced the speaker of the evening, Mr. Harper in referring to Mr. Daniels’ illustrious father, Hon. Josephus Daniels, Ambassador to Mexico said “he was the be.-t secretary of the Navy this country ever had.” He said that the speaker of the evening was a chip off the old block and therefore needed no introduction to our people. In beginning his address Mr. Daniels declared that since he had been asked to speak on the National Recovery Act he felt that he could probably do about as good a job of it as anybody except those who framed it, as nobody seems to und erstand how it works. He said that ,he had lost many hours of sleep studying its many provisions and thought that as it effects his own business he had about solved the most intricate contents of the measure, but could hardly be expect ed to do as good a job at unravel ing the mysteries of the act relating to many other branches of business outside of the newspaper field. Howeveh, he did clear ■ up many points which our merchants have been sweating over since August 1. The speaker was asked many ques tions during the evening about cer tain provisions of the act, and his •aiTswef to each of these showed' I'tlS' excellent familiarity with the new code. James Davis, of Smithfield, ac companied by Miss Ellen Singleton, rendered two beautiful solos, which were greatly enjoyed by all. The attendance prize, donated by Kiwanian Crain, was won by Dr. E. N. Booker. This prize which was a tiny baby doll, was declared to be very appropriate. The program chairman, H. H. Lowry,, called on Mayor William I. Godwin, of Selma, for a few re marks. The, mayor extended a few words of welcome on behalf of the town to the distinguished speaker of the evening.

Jones, of Selma, re ceived a message late Thursday afternoon informing her of the drowning of her little niece, Ruth Walston, 9-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Walston, of Wilson, which occurred while in swimming Thursday afternoon at Ocean View, Va. The little girl had gone to the beach with a number of other Wil son children on a one-day excursion. The message did not give the de tails. The body of the little girl was re covered and taken to a Norfolk un dertaking establishment, where it was prepared for burial. The funeral was held from the home in Wilson Friday afternoon. Washington, Aug. G.—“Spend now for re-employment” and “.spend under the Blue Eagle” was the message today of General Hugh S. Johnson, national recovery adminis trator, in an address here starting a nation-wide buying campaign and “chiselers.” He made it plain he intends to rely on the “boycott’ to carry through his program. Within two weeks, the adminis trator declared, “no man in thi.s country who is really doing his part will have any excuse for non-mem bership in N. R. A.—at least no ex- f jse good enough to warrant his sking' for patronage at the expense of those who are making his plan succeed. “It is no boycott for' people who are sick of this curse of depression to patronize those who are working to get us out of it.” In his address, which was relayed to a mass meeting in Cleveland, Johnson praised that city and Mayor Ray Miller for its co-operation. “We will be out of the depths of this depression by winter if only ^ach community will seize the chance that the President has given it and —as Cleveland ha.s done—as New York is doing—make one strong pull —one ‘long pull—one pull together,” he said. “What must be done? Of course, fir.st of all, every employer should put the Blue Eagle in his window, de-'erve it. And here let ' me a solemn warning. No Trifling. “Do not trifle with that bird. In the confusion of early days a man may get away with it. But the day of reckoning against an aroused public opinion is sure. “This is no time to hoard,” John son said. “It is no time to save money. It is a time to get things. Buy the things you need. Spend for re-em ployment. If you don’t spend now and get something, you will spend ■later for taxes and doles and get nothing. You should spend under the Blue Eagle. If you spent there, you are spending for increased em ployment.” The administrator turned to pro tests of those who cite their obliga tions to .stockholders as an excuse to stay out. “We cannot belittle honest rights. But stockholders will be all right if this plan succeeds, but heaven, help them if it fails. There is not a stock in the world that is worth a cent if it cannot earn, and no stock can earn if we are to let our business .structure drop back into a new collapse. To put it in a nut shell: Men must earn before stocks can earn. “We shall either succeed or fail in three months time. If we fail, the loss to these companies will be many times their exaggerated esti mate of what the plan will cost. If we succeed, the^^timate means nothing. “This country has nailed its colo^ to the mast. What we need is M talk and more action.” Oak Grove Picnic Supperl Don’t forget to bring your . packed basket to Oak Grove Saturday afternoon not later 5:00 p. m., as you will want to joy a short social hour before supper.
