AWARDER $2,000 AS
DAMAGES OF ATTACK
Rocky Mount, April 30. —Dr. A. L.
Denton was awarded $2,000 damages
against Russell and Emmett Bartho
lomew, of Castalia, by a jury in Nash
County Superior Court at Nashville
late yesterday after having been given
the case more than twenty-four hours
before*
The suit was the outgrowth of an;
alleged attack upon Dr. Denton by |
the Bartholomews at Castalia several i
years ago. In addition to the dam-j
ages, the defendants were taxed with
the costs in the case, which, it is un- 1
derstood, will represent a substantial
sum. The physician was suing for
$50,000.

A GOOD ONE TO TELL
A Florida man who was suddenly
called North on business stopped off
and spent Sunday in Washington. As
he was passing a church during the
evening he thought he would drop in,
although the service was half over.
The minister was preaching a sermon
on heaven, and he exhausted the lan
guage in describing its glories. A
man in the same pew turned to the
Florida man and whispered: “It must
be a beautiful place; how I would
like to go there!"
The stranger responded: “Beautiful
is no name for it. I’ve been there
three years.”
“Been to heaven three years?”
“Was he describing heaven?”
“Certainly; what did you think?”
“Well I’ll be everlastingly bum
swizzled if I didn’t think he was tell
ing about Florida—but I did think he
was making it pretty tame.”

found what they bel.eve will be both
a better and cheaper route from Zeb
ulon by Taylor’s Mill than the pro
posed northern route. They stated
before the commission that they did
not* want Zebulon to be deprived of
the road, but if possible, they wanted
the benefits of the road a{so. They
believe their proposed route will be
as cheap and more direct than any
routing yet considered.

a preliminary survey made if the

PLANNING NEW
ASSOCIATION
Want To sign Up Fifty
Per Cent Os The
Old Belt
There Will Be No Salaried
Directors On The
Board
Danville, Va., May 10. —Tobacco*
growers from more than 40 counties
of North Carolina and Virginia met
here today, recognized as a possible
development of the near future tho
liquidation of the Tri-State Tobacco
Growers Co-operative Marketing As
sociation, and decided to form a co
operative marketing association for
the old Belt of the two states.
Formation of the new association,
it was decided will be predicated
up a sign-up of fifty per cent of
all the tobacco raised in the Old
Belt of the two states. It was *irst
proposed to the growers, who mei to
hear the report of an organization
committee appointed several months
ago, that a sign-up of 66 per cent of
the tobacco be necessary before the
contracts became binding but after
hearing the opinions of several pres
ent the growers voted for the fifty
per cent caluse.
An important statement in the re
port of the organization committee
was to the effect that “we wuuld
judge he Tri-Stats Tobacco Growers’
Co-operative Marketing Associat on is
liquidating its business and does not
expect to operate in the future." This
statement had reference to the Tri-
State organization and was made af
ter the report* of the committee had
reviewed the recent happenings in tho
affairs of the three states organiza
tion which included failure of the sign
up in South Carolina, release of prac
tically all of its force of employees
and lease or sale of some of its ware
houses.
The report declared liquidation of
the Tri-State organization would
‘mean a return to the sale of to
bacco only over the auction floors,
which, judging from 60 years of ex
perience .can only maai. disastrous
prices for fobaeco, and with thww
prices must necessarily follow lower
land values, decreased business ac
tvity in all lines of business, and
poorer living conditions on the farms
of the tobacco belt of Virginia and
North Carolina. The greatest loss of
all is the loss of experience which:
gained in the past four years of op
eration of a tobacco association.”
The contract under which the newr
association will operate, if the sign
up is successful, would call for de
livery of all tobacco from the lands
of every landlord signer, and in
cludes certain clauses termed safe
guards which the tri-state contract
did not have. Among these are pro
visions that no officials shall deal
with themselves in any manner, and
that there shall be no paid diretcors
except the president.
The length of the campaign to
achieve the 50 per cent sign-up was
discussed at today’s meeting. The
campaign is slated to end June 15,
but sentiment today appeared to
favor an extension. This matter,
however, was left to the organization
committee to decide. The right of
withdrawal from the association when
the deliveries were less than two
thirds of the sign-up also was dis
cussed, but this also was left to the
organization committee to determine
and insert in the contract if deemed
necessary.
The growers today called on the
agricultural officials of North Caro
lina and Virginia to aid them in
their plans for formulating the new
association.
GRAND JURY WANTS
ACTION AT POLLS
Reading of the report of the Wake
county grand jury, which is headed
by Col. Alfred Williams, prominent
Raleigh business man, Friday created
a sensation around the Wake County
Superior Court and the clerk received
many requests for permission to read
the report, which takes an extraordi
ary action for a grand jury by calling
upon the people of the county to go
to the polls and “elect officers who
will enforce the law without fear or*
favor.”
• *
The report calls the attention of
the people of the county to the
‘unprecedented and serious condi
tions existing throughout the county
due to the traffic in whiskey and the
consequent debauchery of so large a
percentage of the younger men es
pecially.”
The report declares “there is no
lasting remedy for these conditions
unless the moral and law abiding
people of the county take a deter
mined stand upon this vital issue and
go to the polls and elect officers who
will enforce the law without fear or
favor.”
