TOBACCO GROWERS HOLD
MEETING AT RALEIGH
Representative From The Caro
linas, Virginia and Georgia
Make Plans for Inter-State Or
ganization. Representatives of tobacco growers
of Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgie,
organinz the Inter-State Tobacco
Growers Association, pledged- them
selves here yesterday to reduce the
tobacco acreage by 33 1-3 per cent in
1921.
There will in time come a revolution
in the process of marketing tobacco
in the United States, based on the
successful efforts of the fruit growers
in California toward co-operative mar
keting, if the plans of the Inter-State
Tobacco Growers' Association bear the
full fruit hoped for when the repre
sentatives of the four States set their
hands to organization yesterday.
The preliminary structure of the or
ganization, based largely upon the
Constitution and charter of the North
Carolina growers was raised yester
day, and a representative committee
named to go more thoroughly into the
work of organization, and empowered
to enlist the services of experts who
have had a hand in the effective co
operative movements in other agricul
tural States.
People Are Determined.
Representatives of all States attend
ing the meeting yesterday declared
that their people back at home are
fixed in their determination to work
out a tobacco errowers' organization
that will work effectively, . and are de
sirous of a federalized organization
worked out by tiie North Carolina
growers since their initial meeting
here in Septeraber.
Members of the State association
are preparing to go very much further
in their plans than the original pro
gram which dealt largely with the con
trol of acreage and the control of the
movement of tobacco from the farms
to warehouses. It would eliminate the
present system of selling tobacco to
the highest bidder, and substitute
therefor a scientificiually devised sys
tem of marketing the crop Avhich
would ensure the groover a fair return
for his investment.
County Is Unit.
Under the constitution adopted yes
terday, the county will become the unit
of organization, comprising all grow
ers with in the county, and from these
will be selected representative which
will comprise the State association.
Under the plan of federalization, em
bracing all tobacco growing States,
each State will be entitled to represen
tation in the national body.
Membership fees are based on the
acreage of the member, the present as
sessment being 25 cents for each acre
planted in 19L'0. Official representa-
Referred 12 prenatal cases to State
Board of Health.
Referred 65 baby cases to State
Board of Health.
Installed two sanitary screens.
Gave one lecture, 18 present
Will start classes as soon as school

tives of the State and National de
partments of agriculture are allowed
to be elected to membership. The
usual officers are provided for with
the executive committee and a govern
ing board. Amendments to the con
stitution can be effected only through
the two-thirds vote of the county
representatives.
The North Carolina association wil!
become a duly chartered organization,
with powers to extend to any State or
territory in the Union. At present it
will be formed without capital stock.
Other States will very likely obtain
charters, and the federalized associa
tion will in turn obtain a charter,
probably under the laws of North Car
olina. These details will be worked
out after the committee1 named yes
terday makes its report early in Jan
uary at a meeting to be called here.
The provision of the rules and by
laws adopted yesterday are briefly as
follows:
Provisions of By-Laws.
1 Sixty per cent of all membership
dues collected by counties shall be re tained
by the county organization.
2 The acreage' shall be determined
from year to year. The acreage for
1921 shall be reduced 33 1-3 per cent,
calculated on the basis of the 1920
acreage.
3 Landlords are made responsible
for the observance of the rules by his
tenants. Infractions are to be report
ed to the county association.
4 Complaints against members are
to be investigated by the county execu
tive committee and such steps as may j
be necessary taken for adjustment.
5 The county secretary shall make
a list of all tobacco growers in his
county, and publish a "st of all grow
ers who have joined the association
and of those who have not affiliated
with it. News and Observer.

Popular Edgecombe
Couple Married
The following account will be of
interest to many Warren friends of
this popular young couple. Mrs.
Thorp, a neice of the owner of this
paper, has been a frequent visitor in
this city:
Tarboro, Nov. 7. A beautiful wed
ding was solemnized Saturday after
noon at Temperance Hall church neai
Elm City, when Miss f Routh Speed
Mercer became the bride of Mr. Lewis
Sumner Thorp of Rocky Mount. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. C.
L. Read of Kinston. The wedding
march wvas played by, Professor, Braw
ley, director of music of Peace Insti
tute. Preceeding the wedding Miss
Lucilc Cuthiell of Rocky Mount sang
Because" and "A Perfect Day' and
Mrs. W. L. horp sang 0 Perfect
Love."
The bride entered the church with
her brother-in-law, Mr. Ernest Tilgh
man, of Suffolk, Va., and wore a trav
eling coat suit of brown and duvetyn
trimmed with beaver and carried a
shower bouquet of orchids and lillies
of the valley. Mrs. W. M. Wells, of
Elm City, dame of honor, wore a cos
tume of wisteria satin with tulle train
and hat to match and carried purple
chrysanthemums.
Miss Lenoir Mercer, the bride's sis
ter and maid of honor, wore a frock
of gold lace and brown velvet with
train of brown tulle and carried pur
ple chrysanthemums.
The four bridesmaids were Misses
Hattie Taylor of Tarboro, Sarah San
ders of Smithfield, Nellie Graves of
Carthage, and Mildred Thorp of Rocky
Mount. They wore frocks of brown
lace over brown satin with train of
tulle and hats to match and their flow
ers were yellow chrysanthemums. Lit
tle Miss Margaret Tilghman and Theo
dore Tilghman held the ribbons and
carried out the color scheme in their
attractive costumes.
The best man was Mr. Adam Thorp
of Philadelphia and the groomsmen
were as follows: Mr. Geo. Wimberley
and Mr. Isaac Thorp of Chapel Hill,
Mr. D. W. Thorp, Jr., of Charleston,
S. C, and Mr. Hyman Battle, of Rocky
Mount, with Dr. C. T. Smith and Mr.
Wm. Thorp of Rocky Mount as ushers.
Mr. and Mrs. Thorp left immediate
ly for an extended Northern trip.
An informal reception was held at
the bride's home after the wedding.
The out of town guests were Mrs. C.
A. Cook and Miss Josie Cook of Mus
kogee, Okla., Mr. Slaughters-Ware of

ford, Mr. Jack Thorp of Virginia, Mr?
and Mrs. Ernest Tilghman of Suffolk,

Mrs. Geo. Howard, Mrs. S. N. Harrell,
Mr. and Mrs. Jim Wiggins and Mr.
and Mrs. C. P. McCluer motored over

her grandmother, Mrs. Henry Williams.
Greenvilee, November 9 The Board
of Trustees of East Carolina Teachers
Training School on November 4 held
an important meeting, making plans
for the future of the school and look
ing into the specific needs of the j
school. In order to keep pace with
the plans of the Department of Edu
cation the school will offer a four
year course hereafter, in addition to
the present two year course, and will
have the right to grant degrees. The
details of the courses are now being
worked out by the committees and
will be announced in the catalogue.
They are hoping that the appropria
tion for permanent improvements
will enable them to enlarge the plant
and add necessary buildings. The
building has not been able to keep up
with the growth of the school, and
evey year numbers are turned away
for lack of room. It is extremely
unfortunate when the shortage of
teachers is so acute that a school
whose sole purpose is to train teachers
has not room for all who apply. A
new wing has been added to East
Dormitory and is ready for occupancy.
The students assigned to these rooms
entered at the beginning of the fall
term and have been crowded in other
dormitories.
A unit of the North Carolina Teach
ers Assembly has been organized by
the faculty of the Training School
with a membership of one hundred
per cent.
The officers are as follows: Presi
dent, R. H. Wright; Vice-President,
H. E. Austin; Secretary, Miss Maria
D. Graham. This unit is entitled to
three delegates to the annual meeting
in Asheville; Miss Graham is one of
these.
A student Government organization
has been formed that throws the re
sponsibility of the discipline largely
upon the students. Miss Helen Bahn
son, of Davie County, i3 president;
MissNMalissa Hicks, of Wis Warren
County, is secretary. ,
Famous Aviators
Coming Next
The people of Warrenton and the
surrounding country are to be given
an opportunity of witnessing some of
the most thrilling aeriel exhibitions
ever seen in the state, when the Fam
ous Flyers arrive in town for a five
day stay.
Each day these Famous Flyers will
give a thrilling exhibition of "Stunt
Flying" over the business section, re
producing all of the stunts and man
euvers executed by our aviators over
seas in the pursuit and evasion of the
Hun Planes.
The flying will be done from Mr.
Frank B. NewelTs farm. Mr. Newell
very kindly tendered the use of his
big field on the Ridgeway Road to the.
aviators and has assisted in every po
sible way to make this engagement a
success.
All visitors will be welcome to the
aviation field and though passengers
will be carried the management wish
it understood that visitors will at all
times be shown every courtesy wheth
er they come to fly or to look.

WORKERS BEGAN THEIR
CANVASS YESTERDAY
November 11 Witnessed Launch-
ing of Fourth Red Cross Roll
Call. Many Members Enroll
ed for 1921
Yesterday the Red Crosa worker
began hteir canvass for memberahio
for the Fourth Red Cross Roll Call.
The workers have been divided into
groups and in spite of the unpleasant
weather of yesterday succeeded in
securing many members. You can
tell those who belong by the Red
Cross button that they wear. Those
in charge wish all who have enrolled
to wear their buttons because, first it
keeps the canvassers from having to
approach the same person more thjux
once and at the same time keeps tha
new member from being bothered
to explain that he has already joined;
second, it is an advertisement for th
Red Cross.
The Red Cross is caring on a great
work in America and it should be con
sidered a privilege to join this great
organization. For that matter, iho,
the Red Cross has good enough record
of it unselfish war work to run on its
reputation. However, its present
work is sufficient reason.
We would all like to see Miss Hin
nah, the County nurse, retained in tho
County. Upon the success of tha
Fourth Roll Call depends her stay in
Warren. Can we do less than join?
The directors of the Red Cross not
only desire you to enroll during tha
Roll Call but ask each one of us to
secure all the additional members we
can. It will be a great help if wa
enroll at the beginning that others
3'n$? our good work may do likewise.
The canvassers are giving their
time and their money to put this Roll
Call over. Its up to us to assist thera
in every possible way we can and to
show them every possible courtesy.
To Preach Red Cross Sermon
The Red Cross, thru its Ch airman
of Public Speakers, Hon. Tasker Polk,
requests all ministers to preach a
special Red Cross Service Sunday No
