The whole exhibit was composed of articles made by the in mates. The booth in which was shown the exhibits of the colored people was especially creditable, containing many articles that represented much talent and thought and. great effort.

Particularly effective were the de corations of the Smith home the color note of green and white being carried out In detail by the use of palms, fern, smilax and lilies. Pains and fern banked against the fire place formed the background for the Improvised al tar flanked on either side by cathed ral candles and tall floor vases of lilies. Miss Furgurson 's onl attendant was her cousin, Miss Fannie Smith Walker, who wore a model of turquoise blue chiffon and carried an arm boquet of Columbia roses. The bride entering on the arm of her father, W. H. Furgurson. of Louis burg, was most attractive in an en semble frock of black and henna faille silk with harmonizing accessories. She carried a shower boquet of Bride roses and valley lilies. j She was met at the foot of the stairs by the groom and his best man. Francis Hayworth. who entered from the library.

Frissell) Violation of the Tobacco Growers Cooperative Associativa qbntract in defiance of a restraining order to pre vent the sale of his tobacco on the auction floro resulted on September 27 In a sentence of twenty days in jail for Will Evans, of Wayne County, whose case was tried before" Superior Court Judge M. V. BarnhHl at Smith field, N. C. Evans, who has already paid a fine of $50 for contempt of court because he ignored a similar restraining order last year, is one of the four tobac co farmers who have been fined or jailed this season for selling their crop on the auction floors in defiance of restraining orders. The tobacco association has been most successful this year in winning every injunction proceeding against members who have attempted to sell their 1924 crop outside of their as sociation. Up to the present time seventeen injunctions against mem ber growers have been continued In Eastern Carolina. The only injunction so far dissolved was that against two time merchants of Klnston. who held mortgages against member growers and insisted upon the sale of the to bacco. This case was heard last week in Kinston by Superior Court Judge Oliver H. Allen. This decision was directly contrary to that delivered by Judge Henry A. Grady at Whiteville, N. C.. a few days before, in which the court restrained the bank of Whiteville and a time merchant from selling the tobacco ot an association member to whom it had advanced $2,500, the court hold ing that the creditor must allow the crop to go through the association and get his payments in regular or der from the association. More than thirty c^o'peijgtive re ceiving points opened for the tobacco growers of Virginia and Western North Carolina Wednesday. October 1st. with the highest advances ever paid by the association to its mem bers in the old belt. These advance ments ranged from $32.50 down to $12.50 on the association's wrapper grades. Its advances on cutters rang ed from $26 down to $12 on the first eight grades. The first five grades of lugs brought advances ranging from *1 0 to $4, and the primings from >3 to $4. Advances on the great majority of old belt tobacco reaching the co operative warehouses have been ma terially increased, and the privilege of borrowing exactly half the amount of the first cash advance paid for each delivery has been accorded every member of the tobacco association in the three states. Tobacco farmers who are members of the association in Eastern North t Carolina have added the $600,000 pay ment made last week on their 1923 crop to the increased cash advances on this season's deliveries which they have received to date on over 4.000, 000 pounds of tobacco delivered to their association.
