Volume L. WILL NOT LEASE HOUSES TO ANYONE So Say Tobacco, Ware ' housemen At Wins ton-Salem —Plan For Big Season. 0 Winston-Salem Journal, 28th. That the owners and proprietors of the tobacco warehouses in Winston- Salem have no intention of leasing these establishments to the Tobacco Growers' Co-operative Marketing As sociation was revealed yesterday by statements made by them to a repre sentative of the Journal. An announcement was issued from the headquarters of the association in Raleigh Saturday saying that a meeting is to be held in Greensboro and one in Raleigh on April (!th to which warehousemen have been in vited that they may confer with offi cials of the Co-operative Marketing Association regarding final terms for the leasing or sale of warehouse fa cilities as agreed upon by the direc tors of the association. l/icul warehouse men were unani mous in their declaration that they would not attend the meeting to con sider lease or sale of their plants. They called attention to the acton re cently taken by the Winston-Salem Tobacco Hoard of. Trade relative to plans fur handling the next season's tobacco crop. Heretofore three lirst sales have been conducted here daily. Next fall four first sales will be con ducted and one second sale. This ar rangement, one warehouseman said, will increase the efficiency of the local warehouses thirty-three and one-third l>er cent and will add even more to the convenience of the growers who bring their tobacco to this market for sale. In the opinion of local to bacco authorities a very large to bacco crop will be raised this year, and the Tobacco Board of Trade is planning to handle it as efficiently as possible.

Newspapers Ordered Washington, March 21. Expedi-! tious handling of newspapers is urged 1 on postal employes in a statement by I John Bartlett, new first assistant I postmaster general, published today i in the Postal Bulletin. "Despite* repeated instructions for the prompt handling of daily news papers," the statement asserts, j "many delays are responsible and also ' many complaints coming in on re ceipt of this class of mail. "This condition is irritating to sub scribers and inexcusable from a ser ice standpoint. Unless received 1 promptly a newspaper has little or no news value and the postal service reaps the criticism of delay. "Postmasters are therefore urged ( to see that all daily papers, both out- t going and incoming, are handled im- i mediatly upon receipt in their offices , to the end that we may have a satis- j lied public and an appreciative press."

No. 2,609 COUNTY BUYS i BIG ROAD MACHINE Ten-Ton Tractor and Equipment To Build Roads In Stokes. At a recent meeting of the Board of County Commissioners one of the arge ten-ton Holt caterpillar tractors of the latest type was purchased by the Board to be used on the public roads of Stokes. Three wheelers for moving dirt and a road scarifier wer# secured with the tractor. This ma chinery has been shipped from th« factory and is expected to arrive within the next few days. With this equipment and the five toTi tractor now owned by the county, Stokes will have very good road snaking machinery, and will nodoubi |be able to accomplish something .worth while in 'hi' way of road-huild j ing the conur j." summer and fall. It is learned that the first wort ; likely to be done with the new *ia 'chinery will be the grading arid noil ing of the highway to be built from Walnut Cove r.t the Cuilford county 1 line. This road is only three or four | miles in b-ngth, however, and a good j part of it is now in line condition, m> I that it will require only a very'short i while to complete it. The machinery | will then be moved from township to- I township ar.d ail the . roads put in. « . Hood condition. S 'veril missing links iUt'v-en tii'.- K'ooti viu'.ds of the several townships will also be built with the county's road-working equipment. Danbury-Walnut Cove Traffic Is Heavy As an evidence of the heavy traffic that passes over the road from Danbury to Walnut Cove, on Satur day morning .Mr. Paul Fulton drove from Walnut Cove to Danbury and was not on the road more than 25 or 30 minutes and on the trip he met at least seventy-five ears, trucks and wagons enroute to Walnut Cove, to say nothing of those coming this way There was nothing special at the end of the road to cause the traffic at that particular time to be" heavier than usual. Besides there are many ears and trucks nurth of Danbury that might have been on the road but for the fact that they were unable to get to Danbury on account of bad roads north of here. We are sure that the State Highway Commission does not have any idea of the traffic on this road or it would be given more con sideration. We know of more than one hard surface road let to contract recently that the traffic is not near so heavy on as it is on the DanlrUry- Walnut Cove highway. Ex-Sheriff Shelton Not Guilty of Charge Ex-SherifT E. O. Shelton and his | brother, Luther Shelton, of ,Moore's Springs, were given a hearing last Friday at Moore's Springs before Justice of the Peace J. G. Bradshaw, on the charge of committing an as sault upon the person of Joel East, a citizen of Quaker Gap township. Ex-Sheriff Shelton was acquitted of the charge, th# evidence before the [Justice being that he only parted his brother and East, and did not take part in the fight. Luther Shelton [ was bound over to Superior court in a I bond of §50,• which he gave and .was ! released. Judge Hartman After the Speeders In putting a heavy line on a Wins- Iton-Salem citizen, l\ C. Johnson, last Monday, on the charge of speeding, Judge \V. V. Hartman, of the Re corder's court there, took occasion to say that he had made up his mind to inflict heavier punishments on men who speed on the public highways. He commented on the danger the peeder placed other drivers and pe destrians in and said, "1 have seen enough of this kind of thing, and in the future reckless drivers and speed rs may expect to get heavier finea than I have ever before imposed." Rev. Marcus Leftwich, pastor of he Sandy Ridge circuit of the M. E. hurch, spent a short while in Dan ury yesterday. ,
