Small towns throughout the country are facing a growing and perplering problem L\ that latest form of modern tramp known as the "flivver hobi ." a product which seems to be the natur al result of misdirected charity, ill considered sentimentality, cheap gas oline, the ease with which a well sea soned flivver may be obtained, plus objection to work on the part of that portion cf our population that believe, the world owes i< a living. A survey in the state of Arkansas reveals pregnant facts touching on this modern form of nomad mendic ancy. The "flivver hobo" usually is accompanied by a fairly large family. He appears in towns and villages, and applies to various social agencies for financial help. He is far from home. He has been forced by poor labor con ditions to move from his old surroun dings. The "flivver" was his only hope. Now he is strrnded with his wife and children. He has no fixed destination, and is passed along from town to town with no solution of the problem in sight anywhere. The us, ual requests are for money, for gaso line, oil and repairs, and for food. Of [era to buy the "automobile" and send them home by train reach deaf ears The "flivver is their only hope," they jay. The worst phase of the situation lies in the problem presented, the child ren, often undernourished and strip yed of all opportunity for schooling, rhey do not remain in any one spot ong enough to come under the juris liction of the authorities; also, for he most part, local officials are more lisposed to pass them along to some )ther community rather than saddle ;he expense and responsibility on heir own county taxpayers. The "flivver hobo" brings again iharply to mind that at best charity is >ut a palliative, and that more than sver the world needs some change in ts social system that will establish sven justice in its place. As admin istered charity seems chiefly to de velop the very condition its good hear, ted but shallow thinking advocates jeek rather to relieve. .'. E. WHEI.ESS DIES FKOM INJURIES Received Thursday of Last Week When Struck by Bale of Cotton at Justice ?Fune'al Sunday. I Possibly me saddest death that has occurred in the Justice community was that of Mr. J. Elijah Wheless, on iast Saturday morning, as a result of in juries received at a cotton gin on Thursday. Mr. Wheless was 29 years old and leaves a widow of only a few months, besides his parents Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Wheless, two brothers Mes srs. B. F. Wheless and E. J. Wheless, and four sisters Mrs. Blonnie Bunn Mrs. O. H. Harris, Misses Vivian and Ruby Wheless. The fatal accident which caused the death of Mr. Wheless in a hospital in Rocky Mount, happened while he was rolling a bale of cotton from a press, so we are informed, on to a platform ready to be loaded into a wagon. In some way Mr. Wheless' foot was caught causing him to fall from the platform which was about six feet high and the bale of cotton fell upon Mm. He never regained conscious ness. Mr. Wheless was a faithful member of Duke Memorial Baptist Church and was a prominent Mason in bis com munity being a' member of Central Cross Lodge No. 187 A. F. A A- M. which conducted the funeral with full Masonic honors. The funeral was conducted by Rev A Corey, assisted by Revs. ?. ??. Ward, of Spring Hope, and O. W. May of Cedar Rock. Possibly the largest crowd that ever gathered at a funeral in the Jus. tics community gas present to pay a last sad. tribute to the deceased who ?u greatly loved and respected In hU j home for his manly qualities, bis great toys for humanity and all that was good in lifs. Justice community has lost a most useful and valuable cltlsen. During the ceremony several white robed flgufal placed a wreath of beau, tltul flowers upon the new ma<]< mound engaged in silent prayer and departed. ,1 The floral tribute was profuse and beautiful ax pressing the deepest sym pathy of the entire community to the ber<>n% c<i widow and fatally. ? ??????*???

Friseell) The opening of thirty-seven more markets of the Tobacco Growers Co operative Association in the old belt of \irsinia and North Carolina' this week revealed the fact that the or ganised tobacco farmers are receiving the highest cash advance ever paid by their association in the face of prices on the auction floors which are the lowest received by tobacco farm ers since 1918.' The tobacco farmers of Virginia and Western North Carolina are express ing satisfaction over the advance cards in the association warehouses which show that the higher grades of to bacco will bring from $30.00 to $42.51 in the first cash advances being paid this season on the cooperative floors Of still greater Importance to the far. mers within the marketing associa tion is the fact that their organization has materially increased its cash ad vances upon the medium and lower grades which form the bulk of this year's crop. Members of the Tobacco Association from twenty old belt counties went on record in Danrllle last Friday as con demning: the present low prices at auc tion and calling on the business men to remedy the situation by supporting the association and thereby maintain a living wage for the fanner The cooperating growers of Virginia appear confldent that with the support of the association by more of their neighbors and the business men they can ward off low prices by means ot their organisation this year. This was shown in a monster demonstra tion by Virginia farmers on October 3 who formed a moving column of au tomobiles which stretched in a con tinuous parade for seven miles, from the Dan River at South Boston to Hal. If as Court House. The cars driven by the farmers carried placards with a,message whose meaning was unmis takable to their neighbor farmers and the merchants. It read: "Get off the (ence before you fail off" and the sev en-mile column which followed the State Flags of Virginia, North Caro lina and South Carolina gave a dem onstraticn,of loyalty to the tobacco association which augurs well for co operative marketing this season. United Stttes Senator E. D. Smith from South Carolina who was invited UTthe Virginia growers to speak at Eh* opening of the association's fourth ?Bi 'kitting season laid the responsi ble ty for the future welfare of the Vii ginia. Carolina tobacco country sqfareiy upon the should^b of the backers and mei chants, after plead ing with the farmers to stand by the as?>clatlon which they had formed. * It is the duty of every merchant in Vii ginia to lend his money and moral ait to this cause. It is the duty of evi ry banker to fight what is the real hal Je of the South today," declared Sei ator Smith, who said "on one side of he tobacco pile is the helpless far mer, on the other side is the organis ed brain and capital of Europe and fi nancial America, who leave the South its-mere pittance." "Yhe organization of our farm peo ple is the only way out. The whole destiny of the South, the womanhood of the South, the education of our children, hangs upon the success of this cooperative movement to keep for our'southern people what is theirs by rigiit," the South Carolina Senator de elated.
