FACTS ABOUT HALIFAX
!ENFIELD MARKET !
TO OPEN SEPT. 2 j
With the goal for season’s soles set
between four anti five million pounds
f.nd with a corps of trained ware
L-'U-ht • . 'i engaged to insure the at
tair.nn r/. of this figure, the Enfield *
tobacco market is scheduled to open
Tuesday. September 2nd.
"The phenomenally 1 nv prices paid
on the opening of the Georgia mar
!• t • should encourage rather than dis
i arter local planters,” said an ex
pert tobaccionist discussing the situ
ation this week. ”1 have been ir. the
business twenty-five years and I have
never known it to fail that, when the
Georgia markets pay low prices the
weed brings unusually high figures in
Carolina, and vice-versa. Last year,”
he continued,, “the Georgia ware
houses opened the season with sensa
tional prices while the Carolina mar
kets started the season with a dis
heartening slump. Several years back,
the case was reversed and I am quite
confident that it will be so this year."

Eulogizes The Life
Of Brodie Jones
The Rharnkatte Roaster, in Tues
day’s News and Observer. writes his
experiences at the mooting of the
North Carolina Pn - Association. II.
pays a tribute to V.\ Brodie Jones,
late editor of The Warren Record,
which we re prod ui •• below:
“It would have brought some satis
faction to the families of the editors
who have died during the year, W. B.
barker of the Maxte.n Scottish Chief;
J. E. Thompson of the Wilmington
Star; George Myrov.-r of the Fayette
ville Observer; Brodie Jones of The
Warren Record to have heard the
beautiful tributes. Four editors more
unlike have not lived, but each filled
a niche that endeared him to his con
stituents. All of these have served
long except Brodie Jones, who with
the best training and marked talent
and true journalistic ability and in
dividuality gave promise of a long
and brilliant career. He was one of
the most lovable and gifted of the
newspapermen of his day and that he
should pass so early is a loss that
continues to be felt by all his asso
ciates.

Man Falls Under
Train — His Hand Is
Severed at the Wrist
Manuel Berois, 18, of Havana, Cuba,
had his right hand severed at the
wrist when he slipped and fell while
trying to board a northbound freight
train near the Frinklin Street crossing
in Enfield last week.
According to the account given by
Berois and his companion Pedriom
Caledron, also from Cuba, the youths
had been working in Charleston, S.
C., where they had recently lost their
jobs, and were enroute to Norfolk to ,
ship on a transatlantic merchant ves- j
sel. They reached Ertfield by the ^
“hitchhike” method late Wednesday
evening and were sleeping near the
chair factory when an approaching
freight train awakened them. Trying
to board the train, Berois missed h'13
footing in the darkness and was
thrown along the rails, his right hancl
falling underneath the wheels of a
moving car.
IN MEMORIAM
Tr. sad but loving remembrance of J
m;r devoted husband and father, G. J
V.. rulley, wh odeparted this life one j
yerr ago, August 1, 1929. !
God railed him home, it was His will, J
But In my heart I love him still, J
His memory is as dear to me today, !
As it was the hour he passed away, j
I always sit and think of him
When I am all alone;
Tor your memory is the only thing
That Grief can call its own.
A happy home I onoe enjoyed,
How sweet is the memory still;
But death has left a vacant chair
That none on earth can fill.
How often my thoughts wander,
To that grave not far away
Where they laid my darling husband i
One long year ago today.
There was an agel band in heaven,
That was not quit ecomplete;
And God took my darling husband
To fll that vacant seat.
His devoted wife and children, Mrs.

Doctor* Disagree
When children are irritable and
peevish, grind their teeth and sleep
restlessly, have digestive pains and dis
turbances. lack of appetite, and hive
itching eyes, nose ana fingers, doctors
will not always agree that thev are suf
fering from worms. Many mothers, too,
will not believe that their carefully
brought up children can have worms.
The fact remains that these symptoms
will yield, in a great majority of cases,
i* a few doses of White's Cream Ver
mifuge, the sure expcllant of rouod
and pin worms. If your child has any
ot these symptoms, try this harm
less, old fashioned remedy, which

Parker Is Victim
Of Hold - Up Man
On Sunday Night
C. L. Parker, an employee of the
Willey Harware Co., was the victim
of a daring hold up Sunday night
about 10 o’clock at the hands of a
rick-up man who robbed him of $6
m cash. The robbery took place at Mr.
Parfker’s garage in Weldon as he
was putting his car up for the night.
According to Mr. Parker’s account,
he had driven his car into the garage,
extinguished the lights and was clos-,
ing the doors when a tall masked man i
who evidently had been secreted near
the garage, stepped from the shadows |
threw-a gun in his face and demand- j
ed money. Mr. Parker delivered up
ail the cash he had on his person and
the gunman disappeared into the
shadows behind the garage. As quick
ly as possible tbe police were sum
moned, but a thorough search faield to
reveal any traces of the robber.
The man, it was said, was tall and
powerfully built and appeared to be
a negro.
