SALES START WELL IN WARREN First Advances Made To Far mers At Norlina On Last Tuesday Morning. SUPREME BENCH SOME TIME MERCHANTS LEND SUPPORT TO FARMERS BY CREDIT AGREEMENT Atlantic To Pacific lVJTrm A TV TAimmrn CLAYTON GETS FINE POUNDS ON FLOOR 10.000 nxious to see the new coop erative sales system at work, farmers and business men drove to Xorlina on Tuesday for the opening sale of the Tri-State To bacco Association and saw for the first time in the history of Warren County a minister pray ing in a warehouse for the suc cess of a farm movement. Lead ing citizens of the town and the warehouse officials welcomed the producers and the orderly grad ing and delivery of the 10,000 pounds was made without any confusion. R. S. Register, master of cer emonies, called upon the Rev. M. Y. Self to lead in prayer. As the farmers stood with bowed heads, the minister plead for the success of their cause. Mr. Register, Editor J. C. Hardy of The Headlight, Cashier D. L. Gallagher of the Bank of War ren and L. J. Sears, grader for the Association, welcomed the farmers and asked cooperation to carry the movement through to complete success. Twenty two wagons of tobacco moved into the new warehouse on the opening day. The weed was' placed in baskets and numbered. ItVame to Mi. Sears without the name of the grower, was graded carefully by him, trucked to the scales, weighed and rolled away to be packed with tobacco of similar grade. The grower was given a participation receipt, showing the number of pounds and the grade of his tubacco held by the association. He was given a very conservative third of the market price as an ad vance, Warehouse Manager R. L. Moss said. Payment will be made to the producer as the weed is sold and on the basis of the price received. R. S. Moore is head bookkeepe r at Xorlina with C. E. Wilson and D. O. Daniels as assistants. The tobacco is graded by L. J. Sears who was for many years a buyer for the big com panies. "Farmers may secure from the banks," Manager Moss explained, "an advance on the participation receipt equal to the first payment." Tobacco will be moved from Nor lina to redrying plants as soon as practicable. Everything Ss being done to protect the interest of the pro ducers, Manager Moss stressed. Though there was no enthusiasm at Xorlina on Tuesday and many inquiries about details of the sales system, the farmers expressed them selves as being satisfied with the first cash advances.

S. Supreme Court to succeed Justice J. H. Clarke. Editor W. O. Saunders Favors Judge Kerr For Next Governor Editor W. O. Saunders in The Inde pendent, Elizabeth City, N. C. The presence of Judge John H. Kerr of Warrenton, on the Superior Court bench in this district this Fall has revived talk-in this section of Judge! Kerr's possible candidacy for the governorship in 1924. Any one who has ever heard Judge Kerr deliver a charge to a grand jury or talk to over.

To date there is only one man who has dared to brave the bosses and groom himself for the gubernatorial nomination contrary to their wishes and regardless of their opposition. That man is Josiah William Bailey, one of the most brilliant birds in the State. But Mr, Bailey hasn't the re-! and Norlina cord to inspire the confidence of the!

Judge Kerr is the logical man to de feat the machine and eclipse Bailey, but the question arises: Can he afford n. xl lo x i- u mocracv in North Carolina that a mutiatv i it ? It is a sad commentrary upon ae man has to be nearly a millionaire or have millionaire backing to be gover nor. The governorship of North Carolina is not for a man of limited means. If I am an unloyal Democrat for saying this, then I am an unloyal Democrat and those who don't like it j may make the most of it. Mr. Fleming Tells of Coop. Sales. "I sold five lots of tobacco through the Association at Norlina this week," said John H. Fleming in the, office yes terday afternoon, "and the first ad vance averaged more than $9.34. I am satisfied with the outlook. The bank told me I could get as much again on my participation receipt, and still have at least a third more coming when the weed was sold." .

Mr. and Mrs. Crinkley will live with Mr. Crink- ley's people near Warrenton. Their friends extend best wishes for a long, happy wedded life. Tenants, Under Chattel Mortgage and Crop Lien, Allowed By Cer tain Firms To Market TJieir Crops Co-operatively; More Money For Crops Expected As A Result of Policy. 'COMMISSIONER' SKINNER DELIVERS FIRST BALE COTTON "The cooperative method of marketing cotton and tobacco, which provides for the gradual marketing of the crops .through a period of months instead of dumping upon a glutted market as in the past, calls for a new manner of settling accounts with stores and banks," J. C. Jones, Cooperative Manager for Cotton in this section, points out in an article printed below. "Under the old system," he said, "accounts are due and pay ment demanded in the early Fallsign the agreement will reconsider months, especially is this the case when the farmer has given a crop lien on his cotton or tobacco and can be forced to sell whether he wishes to sell or not. Under this method accounts are settled much quicker, but the farmer who is forced to sell early in order to settle his accounts is not able to profit by the high er prices which come later in the sea son when the early fall dumping is .Warren & Browning: Littleton Planters Bank Cole-Daniel Hwd.

Thrilling experiences are related by American refugees from Smyrna who have arrived here. Among them were Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Boyd of New York, Mr. and Mrs. J E Archibald of Washington, N. C, and Mr. and Mrs. Rogers of Memphis, Tenn. Mr. Archibald and Mrs. Boyd procured a launch in the Smyrna harbor and saved 50 refugees by taking them to the American steamer Winona. The former gave refuge to 2 000 Greeks and Armenians in ' - . virs. Boyd said that when horges looked fat Mr. W. H. Boyd, mentioned in the press dispatches from Athens,' is a son of Mrs. Flora Boyd and a brother of Mrs. Gordon Pnindexter of Warrenton. He has been engaged in the tobacco jbusiness in Smyrna.

The first Warren County bale of cotton was delivered to the Cotton Association on Thursday afternoon Sept. 14 at 2:30 p. m. by Mr. John Skinner of Judkins Township. The delivery was made to Mr. J. W. Daniel at Littleton, warehouse manager for Littleton. To the Planters Bank belongs the honor oil cashing the first draft in Warren County for the Cotton Association. The second man to deliver cotton to the Association in Warren County was Mr. Frank B. Dunn who delivered a bale of cotton at Norlina to Mr. Clyde Fleming, manager of the Nor lina warehouse, at 9:30 Friday morn ing. The Bank of Warren at Norlina cash an Association draft, was the second bank in the county to Arrangements have been completed in Warren County for receiving cot ton and the Cotton Association is prepared to handle the crop just as the growers can deliver it to them. The Association will receive and store cotton at Norlina and Littleton and will receive cotton for shipment at Macon, Vaughan and Warrenton. The Association has secured the following men to receive and ship cotton at the points opposite their names : Will Price Warrenton W. T. Person Macon Walter Vaughan Vaughan Cotton will be received at these points and shipped to storage houses at no expense to the grower. There has been some misunder standing regarding the $50 dollars advance the Association is making the growers, some have gotten the impression that this is a loan and the farmer will have to pay interest upon it. That is not so, it is a FIRST PAYMENT on the cotton and bears no interest. O. E. S. To Meet Monday Night. There will be an important meeting! of Warren Chapter O. E.
