Plymouth, Oct. 18. ? Tobacco co-op iratives won today the first round ot their fight to haye the contract ot the Tri-State Tobacco Growers' Associa tion in North Carolina declared legally landing on members. Judge Frank Daniels, who Is pre siding over Washington county court here this week, this afternoou announ ced he would continue the injunction i' straining Z. A. Harrell, Edgecombe ? _umy tobacco farmer, and W. T. v.-s. Nash county tobacco grower, l: -el ling their tobacco outside ot l! > ? ocibtion. The permanent 10 jci.v a Is In substantially the same t< rn:t us the temporary restraining ordei issued by Judge Lyon several weeks ago. Co.operatlves Give Bond Judge Daniels required the tobacco association to furnish a tour thousand dollar bond In each case to protect the interest of the. defendants, which was considered a reasonable amount by the co-operatives, as approximately tl irty thousand pounds of tobacco Is involved in each case. ? - The co-opwrfftlv$B instituted suit against each of the defendants for al leged damages to the amount ot 5 cents a pound for all tobacco sold by thera outside^ of. the association and lor counsel fees amounting; according tc the complaint to $360. These cases will take their place on the regular court calendar in Nash county. Goes to Snpreme Coort Meantime the injunctions continue in force, and the defendants can dis pose of no tobacco outside or the asso ciation. The granting of the injunc tions to prevent violations 6f the con tracts of members of tobacco associa tion is of tar more importance, how-* ever, than securing damages for to tscco sold outside the association as this will enforce delivery of tobacco to the association by members, if Judge Daniels is upheld by the Supreme Court, and In. any event deliveries can be enforced until the higher court passes on the question. Co-operativ es are confident -that the lower coxfrt will be sustained. That an appeal will be taken to the Supreme court was understood from the beginning of the legal fight, but tlie Krantipg- Of the injunctions today gives the co-operatives a substantial advantage as the legal enforciblllty of the contracts with members is estab lished and can only be overthrown through an adverse decision by the higher courts, and the cooperatives are given legal standing for thiiB sea son in any event aa it will be some time before the higher court can pass cn it. The co. operatives have been very confident that the legality of the con tract would be upheld t?y Judge Dan iels after the. three-day hearing, in N&shville last week when every phase tit the subject was discussed at lengthJ by able counsel. At the conclusion of the evidence of fered In the two caees. Judge Daniels told counsel for both Bldea that the main question In his mind was wheth er or not the contracts of the 'co.oper ativea are valid. The larger pfeLof the discussion hinged on that poB&v and his decision today holds that It Ip \alid. ('?)(??

IfllQUE A RJUSTTCF DAV CELE BRATION PLAN* ED BT AMERI CA* LE6IOH At XI LI A HI Feeltn* that Armistice Day, Not. lXtk, a day of more significance In the con temporary Mstory of America than any other should be fittingly cel ebrated and that It* true meaning slould be vividly brought before the people of Franklin County whose pa tilotlc cooperation in th? great war was second to none, the ladles of the American Legicn of I?ulaburg have prepared an elaborate program for that day which bids fair to exceed any previous attempt to interpret the spir it of that day . . It is planned to reproduce by tab. laux and pantomime every phase of activity of the American people wbose wholesculed cooperation and patriotic endeavors made the winning of the world war posafMe. The whole ga mut' of the buman emotions which a struggle of such magnitude brings cut, pathos, humor, glory arid sorrow will all be portrayed in a series of living pictures with suitable costum ing and back ground. Stirring pic tures of our troops in action are prom ised as well as glimpses of those ac tivities which while possibly less spec tacular were of equal Importance In bringing that terrible conflict to a e!oee. To provide a floor space sufficiently large to accommodate the large num ber of people participating and their audience the Farmers Union Storage Warehouse was obtained, which will be suitably decorated for the occas ion. Mrs. Garland Ricks who Is chairman <5T the Pageant Committee states that to each high school of the County has been assigned one episode in the series of tableux to ee present ed, and that a largo chorus will be drawn from the grammar schodls of the county who will sing songs appro pi late to the various incidents repre sented. Miss Ruth Hall who has charge of the elaborate tn?i:cal pro gram announces that an orchestra and an adult chorus will also be pro. vlded to assist In making -n:s ambi tious program one never to be forgot ten. Franklin County has never had the opportunity to witness a pa triotic program of the magnitude of this celebration and it is hoped that on Nov. Jlth business will be suspen ded and that every man, irornap and child will lay aside the u^j^c duties nt the day to gather in Louuburg to this excellent Pageant given by 4* Franklin County, lor the peopVa or Franklin j^ounty to com "'pmfirafp ajLd.^y t Ifiir kfc.l the erd of world horror and the dawn of : world peac?. I The Pageant will be given >.t 2 P. M. Nov. 11th. Admission is free to all. A program in detail will appear in next weeks issue of the FRAN K_L IX TIMES HON. WALTEK MURPHY SPEAKS TO GOOD CROW1; I Hon. Walter Murphy opened 'he [Democratic campaign in Frapklin jCtfttnty on ^Wednesday night when he [delivered a strong speech to quite a i largo crowd of people in the Court House. It was a teirible arraignment of the Republican party for its lack of sympathy with the people and con. trasted with the many real responses of the Democratic administration. Mr. Murphy is a most interesting and entertaining speaker and was equal to his best on, -this occasion, and his speech was grefctly appreciated. TUESDAY AFTERNOON HOOK (LI B Mrs. T. W. Watson was hostess to the Tuesday Afternoon Book Club and a number of invited guests on the afternoon of Oct. 24.
