Tobacco Market Re-Opens ?
Here On Monday Morning
Market To Run Several Weeks Yet Before Season Ends,
And Several Million Pounds More Are Expected
To Be Sold; Closing Date Not Fixed
After a three weeks r-est for the
Christmas and f4ew Year holidays,
■he Henderson tobacco market will
re-open next Monday for the sale of
he remainder of the 1932 crop of leaf
tobacco. A moderate break is looked
cor the opening day.
At the close of the pre-Christmas
period on December 16. Henderson
had sold a trifle less than 12,000,000
pounds of tobacco, which is consid
erably more than the market had ex
acted to sell for the entire season,
in the. view of some tobacco men.
Estimates are that around two mil
lion pounds more will be disposed of
during the remaining few weeks of
the present season.

CAREER OP MIN
RELATED BY PAPER
Early Life of Missing Hen*
derson Man Told by His
Half-Brother
Interesting sidelights on the early
life of R. S. McCoin, prominent Hen
derson attorney, missing 16 days from
his home here .are given in a local
hews story in the Winston-Salem
Journal, morning newspaper at Win
ston-Salem. which quotes a half
brother of the local business man. The
fact that a newspaper in so large
a city prints local color to the case
indicates the widespread interest in
the mystery. Say the Journal story:
R. S. McCoin, the missing Hender
son attorney, lived his early life in
»and around WinstoivSalom and
money he made while clerking for
H. D. Poindexter of this city helped
to carry him through college and to a
iposition as one of the leading at
torneys and citiens of the state.
Pinkney N. McCoin, a half broth
cr, last night told an interesting
story of the early career of Ihe man
police are searching for in several
states. The half brother, who has been
night watchman for the Brown and
Williamson Tooacco Company for the
past seven years, stopped on his
rounds last night to discuss his miss
ing relative and to declare his firm
belief that one time too many he gave
men a lift in his automobile on Die
highway and this time his act ol
kindness brought him death.
“1 have read that letter written by
that, boy to the chief of the Supreme
Court several times and I am con
vinced that he was telling the truth,”
said Mr. McCoin. "I have been going
up the street each morning as I get
off my work at 6:30 to buy a morn

their crop, but there is considejaJyle
tobacco still in the hands of the far
mers. ••d
No definite date has been announc
ed for the close of the season here.
In other years the market has wound
up its affairs around the end of Feb
ruary or early in March, but the
shortness of the 1932 crop is expected
to result in a much earlies- clasing
than that this year.
Most warehousemen and buyers
spent most of the holidays at their
homes here, but those who went
away have returned ,and the mar
ket was ready today for the arrival
of offerings for Monday’s sale, and
the final dash of the season will get
off smoothly and without a hitch, so
far as known.
ing copy of The Journal to learn the
latest details and I have also listened
in on the radio in an effort to learn
fi.ll I could about my half-brother I
think things are developing just as
the boy told in his letter. They found
the car, they also found belonging
just as the boy said they would. But
I do not believe they will ever find
the body for I think he was robbed
of all he had, murdered and then per
haps thrown into a river or some-;
thing.”
The Winston-Salem man, w„ho lives
at the corner of West Second and
North Trade streets, said there were:
three of the boys but they scattered
when mere lads and saw very little
of each other. The Henderson man'
was born near Mount Tabor Church,
several miles north of Winston-Sa
lem, and was raised by Polly Shamel,
an aunt. She raised him for several
years on her farm and gave him to
bacco and other farm products to
sell that he might have some money.
He saved the money he got and finally
went to Pinacle, where he went to
school. He remained in school there a
short time' and then taught for one
or two years.
Following his schooling at Pinacle,
Mr. McCoin came to Winston-Salem
and secured a job with H. D. Poin
dexter and remained in that employ,
for two or three years, during which
time he studied law at night and
got his start. In a short time he left:
Mr. Poindextci and went to Hender-;
son to get a job, and with the money
he saved in these jobs went off to a
law school and completed that part
of his cJucation.
“He was always a studious fellow,
even when he was little,” Pinkney
McCoin said, “and we all thought
then he was going to be a big man
iomn day. He had away of holding:
on to every penny he made and' in'
the end made them all count to get
his education.
Mr. McCoin said he noticed in the
papers many references to his rela
tives in Henderson, but there are no
relatives there except his wife and ;
her people. The only boys in the fa
mily were Pinkney ,the eldest, who
s now 66 years of age; R. S.. who is
six years younger, and Romulus, who
lives now in Pittsburgh. Romulus
worked for many years in steel mills
of Pittsburgh but of recent years he
has been buying and selling ice.
There were no sisters.

Patrolman Bailey Says Yel

W. F. Bailey, State highway pa
trolman located in this city, said today
his instructions from State authorities
were to begin at once in running in
cars still displaying 1932 license plates
and that arrests should start after
next Tuesday, January 10.
The patrolman works under the in
structions of the State Highway Pa
trol and is required to act according
ly. t
So far no pronouncement has come
from city or county authorities here
as to what they propose to do.
Most automobiles venturing on the
streets or highways now have the new
1933 license tags, but still there are
quite a number that are yet display
ing the old 1 yellow and black tins that
did duty in 1932.
