Their Product. J rx:
I Raleigh Aug; 4. With the opening
tales at Mullins, S. C. bringing an
average of from 16 to 19 cents, ac
cording to estimates of the first day's
offering, it is very - generally con
ceded that the organization of the to.
hmzeo t cp?rttive market- j
ing has been immediately successful
in boosting the price of their pro
due, - ' V K'r"" ' :' '--f 1
' In South Carolina, as in Kentucky,
the growers received double the price
which was given them on last year s
opening markets, and thousands of
farmem who mold tobacco from five
to ten cents in 1921 are now rejoicing
that losses have been changed to pro
fit. This increase is largely attribut
ed to the Tobacco Growers Coopera
tive association. ' '
Over 8,000 new members from the
South Carolina belt Joined, the . To
bacco Growers Cooperative f associa
tion during the July campaign, ; ac
cording to the count, of ; ,contracs
made at Raleigh , headquarters on
Aug. 1st Over 60Q ; new members
joined the association on July 31st,
the last day of the drive in South
Carolina." V;f7X-;,
- The directors" of the big cooperative
freely predict that . it will net Jts
members higher prices than . those
who sell upon the auction floors can
average through the season., v
- Telegrams . reaching Raleigh head
quarters from M. O. ..Wilson, secre
tary of the association and ' other of
ficials of the organized growers who
were- present at the opening ' of the
auction sales this week, state cthat
prospects are very bright for the as

Prohibition Ageni Kills 3 Rum Run-
- ners in Thrilling Battle. .
- Wilmington Star, Aug. 4: In a gun
battle between Federal Prohibition
Officer Early and-six moonshiners
in Duplin county Monday, two white
men and a negro , are said to have
been killed. One white man and two
negroes escaped. The prohibition offi
cer received one bullet in the ankle,
and the horse upon which he was
mounted .was killed. .
.This information was given a Star
reporter yesterday afternoon by Col
lector of Customs A. L. McCaskill.
Efforts to have the story confirm
ed by the sheriff and coroner of Dup
lin county were futile, as neither of
them could be reached ovea long'
distance 'phone last night.
According to Collector McCaskill,
Prohibition Officer Early was riding
towards Wilmington Monday after
noon, when he espied a large : hawk
in a bay. The officer fired at the
hawk, slightly wounding it. Desiring
to procure the bird, he rode into the
bay and there discovered a trail that
eventually led him to a still on a
small island. .". .. ' .i; ,
He was fired upon as he approach
ed. Early returned the fire, and after
many snots had. been exchanged two
white men, whose names could not
be learned, were struck by . bullets
