Ertel Carlyle forces in Tabor City misrepresented the affida ! vjts which have been circulated in this area in an effort to show that more than the 209 votes reported for Carlyle here in the first primary were actually put i in the boxes. The article carried by The Tri bune last week was reported by Carlyle spokesmen and stated "473 notarized affidavits were be ing held" which stated that the signer had voted for Carlyle in tiie primary. The statement also ι said "these affidavits were pro· [ cured on a voluntary basis and none were solicited." i At Mrs. Brown's request. The Tribune has made an effort to determine whether or not the affidavits were solicited and jus· what persons uvre told prior to the signing. The* following statement wa* made by Mrs. A. D. Chandler and Mary Sue Chandler _>i route 1. Tabor City. ι "We voted for Carlyle in th< ; first primary. A few days a tier I the election, we were in towi and Mr. Jesse Kay told us that Mr. Carlyle was responsible foi i tire paved roads that we have : and that Tabor City voted I against him. He said that if Carlyle didn't stay in office, all road paving in this section might be stopped. He said that if we would go to one of the grocery stores in town and get some papers to sign which would say *■ that we voted for Carlyle, it *■ would help. We went to get the t papers but that place didn't have any. However, we were told of ( another business that did hav< them and we went there to get; £ j them.

We never did sign ς them because we didn't see why a ! we should have to get a notary j . public to sign them. We feel that t) j our signatures were solicited." u Mrs. Brown this week reiterat ο ed that the election was fair in j C| every" detail, and that she felt τ the purpose of the affidavits had tl been misrepresented to many of the persons who signed them. q "Some people have told me T that they signed the affidavits g after solicitors had told therr ^ that Mr. Carlyle might lose his B job if they didn't" Mrs. Brown E said. "I thing that all this uproar K is hurting the community and χ there is little use in it all. My t; husband and I have been ir n Tabor City for about 25 year?; c and the people know that we are; I not guilty of any irregularities,"! t( Mrs. Brown said. The Tribune was unable to. st ; contact Mr. Ray to get his state- i u : ment as to whether the above- j remarks were as he made them' u '· to the parties quoted. s< > The Tribune again wishes to, e make it clear that it is making F no charges against anyone.

Here are some facts about x· Though This Week • S. W. Caruso, coach of the ι seal American legion Junior, ■aseball team resigned from thai j •osition today, effective follow· ι ng the doubleheader scheduled J icro with Wilmington Saturday. Mr. Caruso gave as his reasons' or resigning in the middle of the eason as interference from local itizenry who have a hand in region affairs in the actual run· ling of the team. Coach Caruso aid that he apparently was not atisfactory to certain towns »eople and that criticism in hi?; nanncr of conducting the ball lub has prompted the move. Some people who have Legion ioys at work in their places of »usiness in town have complain d that the boys were not free ο work enough. When Caruso eleased these boys to work peo ple complained because the boys vere not receiving sufficient iractice. Some people have been riticizing me for not having hem bunt more, other are criti izing me for having them bunf oo much. Some persons have gone so far j s to criticize the way I was con-1 lucting the team during a game · nd at the bench in the presence ι >f the players. "Also, persons have yelled be ause I would not get up and tart an aigument during tlu ime a game was in progress k'hen a decision was wrong i*1 he sight of the spectators. It las been my policy to discus hese decisions with the officials i iter the game or at least after! he inning and I do not believ< n causing undue argument at a ! laseball game or any other ath ι ?tic event. Usually, when I have I elt that an official gave up more·; han our share of bad breaks j ye simply didn't have that ofi'i | ial again," Caruso said. "They are many other thing.··· hat have led to my decision to esign. With things like they are. t would seem to be in the best j nterest of the ball club. "We have one of the finest :roup of players that I have ever een. They have cooperated in very way and I feel sure that hey will continue to make them elves felt in the area race and vin their share of the remaining ;ames scheduled," Mr. Caruso C. C.

Robert Solos and Mrs. C. C. ooles the store first opened its doors o: July 1, 1920. Wallis was a smal' boy at the time and remembers helping his father sweep out the new store when it was opened. The store is one of the oldest businesses in Tabor City, ranking about fourth in on the list. When the late Mr. Soles open ed the original store here, he lived on a farm with his family near Clarendon. Since that time, he moved his family into Tabor City and today his sons have new homes of their own here. The C. C. Soles and Sons store handles one of the greatest varie ty of items of any business here and is indicative of the day; when small communities had a general merchandise establish ment that supplied almost every item to the citizenry in the sur rounding countryside. The store today handles many leading brand name,, items, and is popular with the farmers in this section of Columbus am' Horry counties.

The story was the same from almost one and all. Tobacco has suffered greatly for the past ten days be cause of the extended hot wea ther and drought. Bill Hooks, head of the triple A program in Columbus county, said he did not wish to make a statement as to the actual extent of the damage which has been done to date, but he did empha size that tobacco was burning According to Mr. Hooks, the hot weather is hurting the tobacco more than the drought. "I have talked to many farm ers about the extent of the dam age," Mr. Hooks said," and their estimates based on a normal rrop under favorable conditions, lias varied greatly. Among those whom I have talked to are Fronts Strickland of the Cherry Grove section and A. L. Fisher of Whiteville. These farmers have estimated that the crop yiel«· will be something like 25 per cent less than the normal yield. However, I am not going to make any estimate of the damage at this time." Mr. Hooks said that it would be for the best interest of the crop if farmers would leave tin tobacco in the field as long as possible before gathering it. ΛI though he stressed the faH that it could not be left too long. There was some rain in t In Evergreen section Tuesday night, and that section apparentIv has been hit the hardest by the heat and dryness, but the county as a whole is still suffering for want of cooler weather and rain. The situation seems to be ra ther wide-spread with tobacco farmers in the Lumberton area having the same problem as local farmers. Tiie crop in Horry county as a whole appears to be huit les; than the crop in most pai-is of Columbus although several fann ers in Horry have said that this week that they expected a 25 per cent decrease in yield. Fenton Miller, supervisor or the Loris market says that Hon v tobacco is in better shape than it was two weeks ago. and that recent showers are responsible. He has predicted a good crop in the Loris area. ι· y Nesmith Agency - Gets FHA Approval c The Nosmith Agency, local in· c surance establishment, this week , was appi ü\ eu to make FHA loans t in this area and has the distinc j tion of Icing the only approved j firm in ^oiuniuus county. τ The approval is also worthy of ρ note in thai not many agencies have been approved for FHA loan.-: in towns the size of Tabor ι City. i· "W ι ai r happy that the author i* ities who giant FiiA loans have r expressed confidence in our com pany b.v granuug us the approv al.

It is the crop that was set late that has been damaged most, how ever, a good rain soon might make this the best crop. Charles D. Raper, Columbus county farm agent, said today that the crop is suffering tre mendous damage all ον<·ι the county and that if rain and ι. in·»' from the heat did not com«· with in the few days that, it Ί like there would not be more than haif a crop." Mr. Raper also stated that other crops were suffering also but that the extent of the dam ages was not as great to dal;·. "A rain can change a loi of things and with prop τ showers in the next few days, the '·«<»(» may come out and be I.et ι er than anticipated. However, it i;< al ready hurt. The heat is w»>rsc than the dry weather. Today there is some breeze and 11 is ι not quite as hot as it ha.s been land that will help a little, j "I have planned to get some I statement out to the pa|M>r:i about the tobacco crisis but there is nothing I can do about it The two things that are hurting the crop is the heat and the rain, and they are beyond my control."
