WARRENTON, COUNTY 01 Officers Raid Booze Outfit Captured By Snipes And Neal Officers of the law were almost running over each other in their eagerness to capture a still near Liberia in Warrenton township on Monday of this week. Officers Snipes and Neal got the outfit. The crew led by Commissioner J. C. , Hardy were left holding the bag. The large steam outfit was in , operation when Officers Neal, , and Snipes made their raid but the . operators had fled before their j approach. They poured out between seven and eight thousand gallons of beer. They then borrowed a truck and brought the greater part of the outfit to town and placed it in jail. It was reported to Commissioner Hardy that there was a large still in operation near Liberia. Accompanied by Officers Walston, Thomas Ellington, Lawrence Robertson and Brewer, the Commissioner led his party through Warrenton without halt and they silently crept toward the still site. Officers Neal and Snipes saw the party as they were pulling out of Warrenton and followed them. Arriving at the place, they came upon the second raiding party and were i. _ i i _ i _i. ii i i cautioned to Keep quiet as uiey naa j the distillers surrounded and heard ( them talking in the bushes. Crestfallen, they received the news that they were just a few hours too late. Neal and Snipes ] brought the remainder of the still [ to Warrenton while the officers 1 from upper Warren returned to < Norlina, perhaps thinking that * "Brother Eaton's got the coon and ? gone on and left us looking up the * tree." < t A1 Smith Gets $2 A 1 Word for Story of Life c t NEW YORK, July 24.?Former t Governor Alfred E. Smith of New ? York will appear before the Ameri- ' can public tomorrow in a new role? * as the highest paid magazine writer 1 in the world. c His autobiography, to which he C has been devoting most of his time c since the last Presidential campaign, ; is completed, and will start its serial run in this week's issue of the 1 Saturday Evening Post. v The manuscript was paid for at the rate of $2 a word, the highest c price, according to the publishers, c ever given for one of its length. s The story of the Democratic candi- ? date's life will be printed in from t six to eight installments. The one r which appears tomorrow alone ^ brought Smith about $18,600. r xi x 4-U^lf It is certain, nowever, uut wc autobiography, to which Smith has I given the title "Up to Now," will win a place among the most valua- I ble historical documents of the last ? 20 years. Aside from its intrinsic t value as the work of a Presidential c candidate and great political leader, [ it promises to rank as a social study of New York during the most ex- i pansive and progressive period of the city's existence. Showing once more his remarkable development of memory, the "Happy Warrior" has portrayed his i East Side boyhood and the roman- c tic glamour of the teeming, growing ? city of the '70's?with its mixture s of peoples, its waterfronts, its politi- ( cal parades, its old landmarks?with : a sincerity of detail seldom encoun- s tered in previous writings. ? Smith's maternal grandparents were born in Ireland, but he never i knew where his father's parents < came from. His father was a boss ( truckman over six feet tall, who 2 weighed more than 225 pounds.

Ceremonies of imposing simplicty attended the promulgation of ;he pact. Gathered in the historic East Room of the White House vere former President Coolidge, iormer Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg, and the diplomatic epresentatives of all but two of ;he nations that have become parses to the treaty. Delivering a short address, Mr. Hoover asked the diplomats to convey to their governments the appreciation of the United States ;hat "through their cordial elaboration an act so auspicious for ;he future happiness of mankind" lad been brought to its consuma;ion. "I dare predict," he said, "that ;he influence of the treaty for the enunciation of war will be felt in i large proportion on all future international acts. The magnificent opportunity and the compellng duty now open to us should ipur us on to the fulfillment of every opportunity that is calculated to supplement this treaty and o extend the policy which it so lobly sets forth." Mr. Hoover declared he was glad )f an opportunity to pay "merited ;ribute to the two statesmen whose lames the world has properly, idopted in its designation of this reaty." To Aristide Briend, French foreign minister, the Presilent said, was due the inception >f the pact and much of the suc:ess of the negotiations which folowed, while to former Secretary Kellogg was due the credit for expanding the treaty into a pact of vorldwide significance. Tho pbipf A*P?lltivf> fllso took OC :asion to felicitate former Presiient Coolidge for his part in the uccessful negotiation of the treaty md to thank Chairman Borah of he Senate Foreign Relations Comnittee and Senator Swanson of Virginia, the ranking Democratic nember, for their efforts in behalf >f the pact at the time it was >ending in the Senate. In the course of his address, Mr. loover announced that Secretary Jtimson today had forwarded to he French government a message if felicitation upon the coming nto force of the treaty.

July 23.?Signs of prosperity were seen today when South Georgia's tobacco markets opened the 1929 season with prices from 20 to 25 per cent higher than on the initial sales day last year. Receipts at the various markets were reasonably heavy and the farmers were well pleased. Although complete figures for today's sales were not available, it j is estimated that the average for the State was between $io.ou ana $17.50 per hundred pounds, which is $5.50 to $6.00 per hundred high-, er than on the opening day in 1928. ^Ninety-five per cent of the offerings were primings from the bottom of the stalks, but they showed a considerably improvement in quality over last year. In 1928 there was too much rainfall during the growing season in South Georgia, and the quality of the tobacco was seriously affected. However, the farmers this year have enjoyed fairly good weather con-! ditions, and this was reflected in the quality of the tobacco sold to-1 daay. The curing season is nearing the end, and it is not likely that the recent cool and rainy weather will have an appreciable effect upon the quality of the tobacco that will be marketed later. Much Hieher At any rate, taken grade for grade, prices today were from 20 to 25 per cent higher than in 1928. The only factor against this is a reduction of about 15,000,000 pounds in the probable yield of the Georgia tobacco crop this year. However, on > percentage basis, it is anticipated that Georgia farmers will more than offset the loss in weight by the apparent increase in prices, leading to the belief that this year will mark probably the most successful one in the history of the State from a financial standpoint. Latest estimates place the yield of the Georgian crop at 70,000,000 nounds. as compared with 85,643, c ? ? 754 pounds last year. However, these figures illustrate the remarkable development of the tobacco growing industry in this State, as the output has increased from the first marketing year in 1917, when 350,000 pounds were sold, to more than 85,000,000 pounds in 12 years. North and South Carolina tobacco men are largely responsible for the development of the Georgian industry, as the majority of the demonstrators in this State as well as the warehousemen are from the Carolinas. The warehouse and buying contingents in Georgia will wind up the marketing of the crop in time to get back to North Carolina for the opening in September. Tobacco came into Georgia largely through the ravages of the boll weevil arouna fifteen years ago. With their primary money cropcotton?destroyed by the insect pest, Georgia farmers were at a loss for a substitute money crop. Tobacco men found the soil well adapted for the golden weed and back in 1916 and 1917 the first pioneering in tobacco growing was started on a large scale. The yield was sufficient in 1917 to justify marketing operations, and although only 350,000 pounds were sold, the yield to the farmers in money was $23.10 pe hundred. Tobacco being a difficult crop to cultivate, and one that requires ex" " - 1 in i pert supervision, it was not uniu 1924 that the number of demonstrators from the Carolinas became such that the tobacco growing industry was made a major factor in Georgia's agricultural life.

Peter applied to Sergt. Walter L. Hughey, in charge of the army recruiting post in this city to enlist, but he was only 19 and was already a member of the National Guard of North Carolina. He was told that he must first obtain his discharge from the National Guard, obtain permission of his parents to enlist and pass the necessary examination. He insisted on being examined and passed that successfully, then he prepared for a trip to North Carolina to obtain his discharge from the National Guard and permission of his parents to join the army. Here's v/hat Peter did in 24 hours: Left Norfolk at 11 a. m. July 6, for Warrenton, N. C., where he induced the commanding officer of his company to permit him to get a discharge. Left Warrenton for Raleigh with the permit, conferred with the adjutant general of the State who gave him the discharge from the National Guard. Left Raleigh for his home town j 65 miles away where he obtained I permission of his father and mother | to enlist in the army. Arrived in Norfolk at 11:25 a. m. July 7. ! "That boy broke all records in covering ground just to enlist in the army," said Sergeant Hughey yesterday. "He perferred the air service so we sent him to Langley. I believe he will make his mark in the service." And then upon being question by Camp officials he admitted that he was only 17 and was refused admittance. Mr. Stallings is waiting until September when he will have reached the required age. Meantime he is serving the United States government as a member of Company B. Hears Train And Jumps Out Window RALEIGH, July 25.?The general atmosphere on the State College campus, where more than a thousand farmers and farm women are staying for the State Farm Convention, looked so unfarmlike Tuesday night that one of the delegates, registered as Mr. Cotton of Cabarrus county, jumped out of a second story window. It all was caused by a freight train. The occurrence took place in Sixth dormitory, and that is right on the tracks?in fact, a stranger, hearing the uproar so close at hand in the still of the night, might easily think that the train was coming into his room. Evidently Mr. Cotton did. For in the midst of one of the fre quent passings, he dived out to the ground below, landing with a bruised leg and sprained hand and still asleep. He missed landing on a flight of concrete steps just five feet. His roommate. County Agent R. E. Dunning of Carteret, rushed down and summoned aid to get Mr. Cotton back in his room. They reported that he did't awaken until they carried him half-way up stairs. TO SERVE BARBECUE On Saturday, July 27, the ladies of the Macon M. E. church will serve on the church grounds barbecue, brunswick stew, cream and tea. Come and bring your friends to dinner. Proceeds go toward women's debt on the church. .
