Johnson, of near Bunn, was shot In the thigh with a shot gun. by Mr. Vance Medlin. and that Mr. Johnson had been taken to a hospital in Raleigh In a serious condition. Later reports state that Mr. Johnson Is getting along nicely considering the seriousness of the wound. Information furnished the TIMES by parties from that section states that Vance Medlin, who was driving a truck upon which was some ladles and children, attempted to turn a corner in the road and ran into a garden fence belonging to Buck Med lin. Buck Medlin spoke to Vance about his careless driving, whereupon Vance, not liking it, proceeded to attack and beat Buck. Mr. Johnson was standing near and in the roll of a peace maker separated the two, holding Vance un til he was told by Vance that he would go on and behave himself. Johnson then turned Vance loose, who after getting some distance from Johnson told him he was going to get his gun and kill him. Souettme later, and thinking every thing was over Johnson was at his tobacco barn, and Vance called to him. When he arose Vance was holding a doubled barrel Bhot gun leveled at his breast. Johnson grabbed the gun and forced It down as it fired. The took effect about four inches be Tnw the hip Joint on the left thigh, tearing an ugly wound which almost cost Johnson his life.

TOBACCO CO-OPS MAKE HUGE SALES PAY ?2,300,000 SEPT. 15TH Sell More Tobacco to Europe Establish Foreign Agency Open in East Sept. 2nd. (S. D. Frissell) Over 23.000.000 pounds ot tobacco has been sold by the Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association since August 1. and this new record for rapid sales will be followed by a payment of $2, 300,000 to association members in the old belt of Virgina and North Carolina on September 15, according to an nouncement made at today's meeting of the directors ot the tobacco coop erative in its Raleigh headquarters. The payment of $2,300,000 to asso ciation members in the old belt next month will bring their total receipts in cash from the 1923 crop to approxi mately J 14.000.000 or seventy-five per cent of the bankers' valuation on their deliveries. According to A. R. Qreedlove, gener al manager of the leaf department, the success of the association in selling its 1923 tobacco may be judged by the tact that only 17,000,000 pounds of bright flue cured tobacco from the 1923 crop now remain unsold by the association as compared to 50.000.000 pounds ot the 1922 crop which it held at this time last year. Beneficial results of the commission sent by the associated growers to Eu ropean countries were reported by General Manager Richard R. Patter son at today's meeting of the board. He stated that the association has now secured one of the largest and best known concerns in continental Europo to act as its exclusive selling agency for the foreign trade. The association has also completed shipments of its to bacco to the Austiian GoMrnment, re sulting from the visit ortSe official commission from that country who supplied their entire needs for Vir ginia-Carolina tobaccos by purchases from the Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association. It was also learned t9~ day tha,t the Austrian* officials took oack with them a formula for the man ufacture of cigarettes from American tobaccos which was supplied to them at their request by General Manager Patterson of the tri-state asscciation. Deliveries to the association's ware houses in South Carolina have increas ed rapidly, and are considerably In ex cess cf those which marked the open ing of the 1923 season in that state. The following association markets will be opened in Eastern North Caro lina on Tuesday, September 2. accord ing to today's announcement of the board: Ahoskie. Ayden. Clinton. Farm ville. Fremont.
