Big De llrerles Contl?ae. (S. D. Frlssell) The Tobacco GrowerB Cooperative Association has reached out to nine counties of North Carolina In protect ing Its members against contract break e?s during the past two weeks. More than fifty Injunctions restraining mem iters from delivering their tobacco to ;tke auction floors have been continu 1 ed by the courts recently. The courts ' have been increasingly severe In their punishment of farmers who have vio lated their injunctions as evidenced in <he latest contempt case against W. E. Rhodes of Rockingham County {who was fined $100 and costs by Su pertor Court, Judge Thomas J. Shaw at Greensboro last week. j The association has also gained le- j gal ground in Eastern North Carolina | ;when Judge George W. Connor con jttaued four. injunctions and stated in 'open court that the fact that a man .had a lien on his tobacco was not sufficient to excuse him from vlola ing his contract to pool It. That a lien on tobacco is not in Itself a defense against the association's rights to de mand its pooling, has been held by every Judge before whom the ques tion has arisen. High cash advances running to $32. 50 on the best grades of tobacco which reached many cooperative floors, last week resulted in the receipt of close to eight million pounds by the asso ciation- Three loads brought Into the association house at Townsville with in two days contained tobacco of the highest grades and brought average cash advances on 2500 pounds of bet ter than $20 a hundred, an average equalled on several association mar kets last week. The cooperative system of grades and loan values for all types of de liveries has been immediately bene ficial to members at various points as In the case of M. A. Westbrook of Clinton who sent his tenant to Golds boro with a load of tobacco which was carried by mistake to the auction mar ket and priced at $119.16. The tenant when told of his mistake took the to bacco to the association floor! and received $142.80 cash frdm his first advance and the loan obtained on his participation receipt from a local bank. 1 Richard R. Patterson, Manager of tha association's Leaf Department ntatad this week that be It making large sales of Its grean leaf at aatla factory prices and that the organised farmers have strengthened their or ganisation by withholding a consider able amount of the lt2S radrled tobac co aotil the present time when the de mand Is becoming mora active.

In the sudden death of our beloved friend and daughter, Mrs. D. C.

Her beau tiful spirit and seervice will ever be an Inspiration to us. 2nd That we express to the family our tenderest sympathy and commend them to God, the great burden bearer. 3rd That a copy of these resolutions be sent to tho family, a copy be spread upon minutes of this U.
