Lee Braxton, Chairman of the columbus County Deve lopment Committee. The indust rial engineer who made the sur , vey and prepared the report. I Mark J. King, Jr.. of Southern ; Pines, has been designated a.1 I Industrial Consultant to thel WtlUIUibW.· Printing contracts were award ed today (Thursday). The report will bo printed as a brochure of 50 pages and will be illustrated with 19 photographs. There will a''.o he a fi page pamphlet con taming the highlights of the fu!? ; ieport. The pamphlets are intend i d io be very wide distribution by , having merchants mail them to the vntioi's suppliers from whom they buy merchandise. Any inquiry developed through I ithe pamphlet will result in hav ing tne committee send the in terested person a copy of the ΓίΟ page brochure and an invita tio.ι υ co:nt lo C Kum'jus County land see what we have to offer. A number of other chanels are being developed for the purpose of obtaining names of manufac turing executives to whom the brochures will be sent in con nection with a long range plan j for inducing new business t( come to this county. The Riegel I Paper Company plant which will [definitely be built in Columbus ι County is considered by the com mittee as merely a starter foi what can be accomplished bj aggressive action on the part of all citizens, county and state au thorities. In winding up his assignment .here for the present. King stated that a few details of informatior i[ the committee should have on ■hand were not yet available. . I However, the nature of the data ·!still to be gotten is not essential : to have in the prined book. The ! committee will need it when it ■ comes to talking fine points with j seriously interested prospects for j definite locations somewhere in the county. King hopes to return j at a future date to spend a couple of weeks on that phase. This probably will not be until after •he printing has been completed [ j for distribution around the end 1 of August. The committee chairman, S. Lee Braxton, stated that arrange ments would be made with the ' printers to run off an additional ■ quantity of the brochures for sale to residents of Columbus County if there appears to be a demand for them during the ' next few weeks. They will be ! sold at a nominal cost, sufficient to cover printing and handling. ; which is estimated to be about one dollar a copy. Braxton sug gested that any persons interest i ed in ordering one of these very i informative brochures about our county should advise the Colum . bus County Development Com ι mittee in Whiteville right away ι so that an order for the extra • copies can be placed with the printers.

Cox TRUSTEES I prico picture is one of the best and perhaps the best in history. Seme farmers were sell in huge amounts at averages of almost phenominal nature. Jesse Ray, for instance, of Tabor City sold 1488 pounds of tobacco here Tuesday for $990, an average of $66.53 per hundred pounds. Also sold Tuesday was a basket that brought the highest price here thus far. That basket of tobacco was wrappers and was sold by Otis Wright, of route 1. Tabor City, for $81 per hundred pounds, rho most encouraging news for warehousemen and farmers a like thus far is the fact that a meeting of the board of directors af the Bright Belt Warehouse men's Association is holding a meeting Saturday to discuss and decide whether the markets in the Border Belt are to be given in extension of selling time at the end of the season. This extension is almost a must for the smaller markets and with· jut some kind of extension, all >1 the smaller markets are going lo fall several million pounds un der the total poundage sold in prior seasons. Roscoe C. Coleman, in reply to a telegram sent Tuesday to F. S. Royster, president of the Bright Belt Warehousemen's Associa tion, was notified'that the mei't ing would be held Saturday and that some action on the proposed extension would be taken at that time. The last such extension grant ed was in 1947 when eight days were added to the season. The 1947 season was late just like the present year and without that additional selling time then, the market would have dropped far under its usual quantity of to bacco sold. Many farmers even yet have not finished gathering their to bacco and many haven't sold a pound anywhere thus far. So one farmer stated this week. "We farmers arc still not really ready to sell tobacco. I have a lot of gathering to do myself, and it will be two weeks before I have the first pound on the floor." This farmer is perhaps some later than most farmers in the area but there are a lot of them who haven't sold tobacco as yet. Many have sold only a few hundred pounds. Opening day sales still top Ihe list as the most sold here in one days this season. On opening day the local market sold 142,000. The next best day was last Fri day when 106 000 were sold. Two days dropped as low as 54,000. The trend had started back up this week with, daily sales ap proximating 75,000 per day. DON'T FORGET Don't forget that farmers soil ing tobacco on the Tabor City market are going to be given $15,000 in valuable prizes on Sep tember 6. Many farmers have al ready sold tobacco here and are thereby entitled to the opportun ity of receiving some of these fine gifts when the big celebra tion comes off. Other donations have been made since the original list ap peared and there will probably be a few more before Septem ber 6. If you still haven't seen a list of these gifts, take a look around the store windows in rabor City and at tho posters that have been tacked up around the countryside. Better still, there are some in the warehouses for you to look over. Do You Know This Woman? A letter received here by the? chief of police this week has ask ed that the department make an effort to locate a jrirl by the name of Beatrice Bennett, be lieved to be in tho Georgia sec tion of Tabor City. The letter is from her motheer and is in the hands of The Tribune. It can be claimed by the girl if she will come by the office. Chief L. R. Watson made an effort to deliver the letter but was unable to locale her. She goes by the name of "IJea" and her mother says all letters writ ten to her here have been re turned.

First I would like to write you ] a book, but I will stop at only ι hitting the top of thr mountains, i To me in few words are two of < the most fantastic editorials I I have ever had the misfortune I to read. 1 To set you straight I'm nc ι member of the Ku Klux Klan 1 I Organization, nor have I any i onnection with thom wiiatso* ver; but to me it's just a good ild Red Blooded American Or ranization. Organized to suppoit he good Morals of Good Ameri an People. According to your editonali he Ku Klux Klan Organizatior vas a Lawless hoodlums Organ zation. If I have been informet orrectly tho Ku Klux Klan has is their Law and Guide the Hol) 3ible. But for the Law Inforce nent officers of our land as £ najority is something to be prouc if. Most any Good Red Bloodec Christian American would frowr it such a job; but it is composed >f such people that would sei Jieir own SOUL for a coupl< >ucks. The laws of our Countrj ihould be based on the JipLTi 3IBLE, and the Law inforce nent Officers should be Christ an Hearted Men; but majorit) >f both is everthing else.

I thing tho Throe K's should start i cleaning our Law Inforccments, and probably start with our good So and So topping the list. I think the Ku Klux Klan is a j very good Organization witn only one exception, they are getting I too far behind with their work. 'Someone may say this is a tree j Country, well so far I ayrte, but after all if this is a free Country we still have tho Hoiy Bible upon which to build our morals of good friendly iiving Do you want a bootlegger or a red liffht district nt-xt door to , you?

J of all the works of the Three K's I have ever learned, they all: incident proven harmful, thi.«· within itself is a profit to the community and Nation. Just one other item I'd lik<· to mention, as you recall Mr. Tru man was going to do awn ν with f ho KU KLUX KLAN ORGANI ΖΛΤΙΟΝ in the South Land, but to b<> sure he was only pouring Gasoline on an Organization of Good Morals and clean Living.
