Storms AndRainy
Caused Damagt
Considerable damage in
this county has resulted from
the tropical storm which
struck Thursday night and
the rainy weather that has
been prevalent ever since.
No major property loss nor
personal Injury has been reported
from the wind storm
but the wind and rain combined
to make life miserable
for citizens whose homes and
places of business had a bad
roof. The strong wind ripped
off shingles an dthe driving
rains and steady drizzle
which followed caused leaks
galore. Several farmers reported
damage to their storred
tobacco.

Warns Farmers Not
To Sell Tobacco "
To Roving Buyers
Anyone buying scrap tobacco
must first pay a license of
?1,000, according t o County
Agent J. E. Dodson, and any
farmer selling his tobacco any
place other than on the warehouse
floor is violating the
terms of his contract.
Numerous reports have been
made to the county agent that
roving buyers have been working
this county buying up
scrap tobacco. It is highly improbable
that any of these men
have paid their $1,000 license
and efforts will be made to
catch them in the act of illegal
buying.
FORFEITS PAYMENT
When a tobacco contract signr
buys or sells poundage for taxree
sales he forfeits any claim
o adjustment payments, accordig
to County Agent J. E. Dodon.
Weather Have
> In This Section
section of the county trees
were blown down and telephone
and power lines were
badly crippled.
Citizens of Southport went
to bed Thursday night by
candle light. Power for the
homes went off early in the
evening and the street lights
went out a short time later.
Fear resulting from advance
notice of the storm, the
storm Itself and darkness
caused many local residents
to spend a restless night.
Out in the county the
greatest damage was to the
roads. Several of the better
dirt roads have become practacally
Impassable due to the
gully-washing showers that
have fallen during the past
few days.
