Jim
Smith Given Preliminary Hearing"
In Greensboro Saturday.
Jim Smith, alleged Smithtown
blockader, and charged with eomplic-
ity in the murder of Deputy Collector
J. W. Hendricks. , waa eiven a ore-
limlnary v - hearing' Saturday before
United States Commissioner Wolfe
on a warrant charging, him with a
conspiracy to interfere with the gov
ernment officers in the discharge
of their duty. After hearing the ev
idence, , Commissioner Wolfe ; held
tbe defendant for the April term of
United States District court in this city
under a bond of 119,000, the bond to
cover both the conspiracy-case and the
charge of blockading previously re
turned by the Federal grand jury. ;
Smith was returned to jail in Win
ston-Salem to await the fixing of bis
bond. ,
The priucipal witness introduced by
tbe government was Mrs. Oscar Bisk,
wife of one of the Smithtown blockad
es, now in jaij in Greensboro, and at
whose house Mr. Hendricks lost his life.
Mrs Slsk testified that she saw Smith
and Hendricks approaching each other,
but . was net an eye-witness to the
shooting. When Smith drew his re-
volver and leveled it upon Hendricks,
she turned her back, and instantly she
heard two shots fired. Officer Hen-
drlcka was shot in the back, and the
theory baa beenadvanced that the fatal
snot was nred by bisk, wno was con
cealed behind tbe house, but no evi
dence was brought out to substantiate
this.
Smith was xe presented by ex-Judge
W. P. Bynum, Jr., of this city and Mr.
C. O. McMicbael. of Madison, while
District Attorney Hoiton conducted the
case for the government.

I wish to say to the farmers who
raise tobacco in this section, also those
who have not been selling their tobacco
on the Greensboro market for the
many years I have been in the ware
house business, haveyl seen tobacco
bringing so satisfactory prices as I am
now letting at the Farmers Wabe-
HorJKwould like to sell your next
loaa. x cau pieaee you.
There is another matter I would like
to speak to you about, and that is this:
I have been informed by some of my
I friends (and customers that my com-
petitors in the warehouse business
I here in Greensboro are telling you
that the entjre buying force " are
attending their sales daily and tnat
two of the buyers do, not attend, tne
sales at the Farmers warehouse. Now
that much is true. But do they tell
. a - ft - .
you wny inese iwo ouyeia ao not
attend mv sales? Of course not. Weil
I will tell you. Those two buyers say
that I have prices too high; they
can't buy tobacco on my floor; that
I J m
Moriran bnvs too mucn tObaCCO. Uf
course you do not care who buys your
tobacco, so you get ine iun marKet
prices. It is not my desire at all to buy
one pound of tobacco only to secure
my customers the full market value
for each pile of leaf. Would I be treat-
Ing you right to let some buyer buy
your tobacco for less than the market
iu uiuci kuai ug wkuh "a . wu
4Unf V. a i!nh( macrtt a nnm
mission on it when I knew that it was
below the--market value? I don't
THrNK l; would be. Tne American
Tobacco Company's buyer, Reynolds'
buyer, Mr. X J. Stafford and others
who buy on my floor do not raise any
protest when Morgan bids on or buys a
nile of vour tobacco, ror they are ex-1
ceedingly anxious that you should ob
tain tbe very best prices for youri
tobacco, and they show it by buying
about seventy-five per cent or more of
all the tobacco that is now being sold
on the Greensboro market.
Now, farmer friends, I want you to
remember that yrhen you sell with
Morgan at the Farmers warehouse you
shall always have the full market
prices. !
Come to see meJ '
