TABOR CITY, Oct. 6? Tabor
City's new sweet potato auction
market will go into operation here
Oct. 8.
In contrast to the usual un
eventful private sale of yams,
growers will hear the chant of the
auctioneer over baskets of sweet
potatoes starting Wednesday
morning.
The auction market will be con
ducted under the supervision of
the Tabor City Marketing Com
pany which was incorporated with
E. W. Fonveille, veteran local
buyer, as president. Other officers
are B. W. Peal of Chadbourn, vice
president; Leaman P. Ward of
Clarendon, secretary - treasurer;
Woodrow Sarvis of Tabor City,
assistant secretary-treasurer.
Believed to be something new
under the sun in the marketing
of yams, the auction market is
designed to encourage better pro
duction and marketing methods.
It will be similar to the straw
berry and tobacco market sales. J
Buyers in the area believe that [
quality potatoes will bring an
even better price than under the
old method.
Incorporators of the marketing
firm are E. W. Fonveille of Tabor
City, H. R. Corbett, represent

With winter approaching, you will be driving with
your windows closed most of the time. It is well to be
on the lookout for carbon monoxide gas, a tasteless,
colorless and odorless gas which is a deadly poison and
is emitted from the exhaust of all automobiles. A good
muffler and tail pipe is the best insurance against this
hazard. (This firm plans to include in its wlekly ad in
this newspaper a weekly Auto or Radio Kink. Next weeks
Kink will be on radio and will be some item which will
aid you in getting better reception from your radio re

The Recent Hurricane Demonstrates Again
Southern Bell's Ever-Readiness to Serve You
? ??Come Storm or Fire, Hail or High Water
With the first warning of the
approaching hurricane along
the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts,
all Southern Bell personnel in
the Southeastern states was
alerted for action. Orders for equipment
were rushed to the Western Electric
Company. Emergency crews from ad
joining states poured into the threatened
area by truck, plane and train. Every
effort was concentrated on getting skilled
men and 'materials there ahead of the
hurricane. i
Wlien the full fury of the storm struck,
operators stuck to their posts hour after
hour . . . maintaining communications
throughout most of the storm-lashed sec
tion . . . helping to save lives and avert
injuries, to ease anxious hearts and minds
and to bring a feeling of calm and com
fort to those waiting out the wind. Typical
of this devotion to duty were the two lone
operators in a telephone office in Bay St,
Louis, who stayed at tjieir switchboard
until the last lines went out ? then graved.
As soon as the storm abated. eincri'i-ni'v
crews went to work repairing a damage
to telephone facilities that ran into hun
dreds of thousands of dollars ami totalled
more than 106,000 breaks in service
Skilled repairmen worked around the
