Miss Susie Wise and Jim Goodman
were married by the Rev. Clarke
Irvine. The bridal couple, minister,
and all the wedding guests were

The nrettv auburn-haired bride held

occasion he started to have every
e on the floor re-weished, but de
ed there would be such an upris
ing from the growers as to endanger
the waiehouse operators, and prob
ably result in a boycott that would
force them out of business.
Mr. Baucom reports that a varia
tion of one pound both ways is the
limit for tare on baskets and trucks,
but that on occasions the growers are
not getting their full poundage, due
to the baskets becoming lighter from
wear or parts of them breaking off.
Most of the supervisors watch this
carefully and eliminate the baskets
or require that they be brought to
the proper weight, he said.
At one warehouse Mr. Baucom re
ports that he found two sets of
scales, one of them four pounds dif
ferent from the other. He called at
tention to the difference and was in
formed that the scales weighing four
pounds heavier were not used for
weighing growers' tobacco, but only
the tobacco belonging to and to be
sold by the warehouse, res tated.
All of the operators of warehouses
where the scales were off, Mr. Mau
com said, were given fair warning
that if he found them wrong again
he would bring indictments under the
proper weights and measures acts.
He has had abount a dozen indict
ments the past month, for 11-ounce
pound loaves of bread and for 15-
ounce pounds of meat he purchased.

In spite of the law which requires
that the tobacco be weighed in ware

the same poundage, some buyers are
weighing behind the warehouses and
demanding that the warehouses ac
