SUES SIX FOR VJOLATlX'G
CONTRACT
Mr. C. A. Hall, Local Council Says
p. AIT Who Break Contract Will be
fcf." Prosecuted.
Tobacco Growers Association
1 has brought suit against, Hubert
Eppa* Tom Drumwrdght, Byrd Drurnwright,
Johnnie Drumwright, Tom
i Goodes and Ellis Bowes. The case
against Hubert Epps will be heard
before Judge Devin in Durham at
10 pVlcck, Oct. 8th. The other cases
will be heard in Roxboro on the 15th
day cf October.
Mr. Cooper Hall, local counsel for
the Association, being interviewed a,s
to the policy of the Association with
5 respect to prosecution of delinquent
members, made this statement:
"I am acting rather than talking.
Association intends to prosecute
all members who breach their contract,
whether white or black, rich or
podr, man or woman. The Association
regrets the necessity cf havingj
to prosecute any of its members, but
if they are not men enough to live
up to their agreement and solemn (
obligation and deliver their tobacco
" to the Association there is no other
course to pursue. And the members
who have given mortgages or orner
liens on their tobacco, hoping thin ,
will be an exoneration of their obligation
and liability to the Association,
will not be exempt from prose- 1
cution. They agreed in their contract 1
to notify the Association before giv- '
ing any mortgages and had knowledge
that they had pledged their to-|
bacco to-the Association for five 1
years, and in the face of this, if they J
give a mortgage, thereby placing
themselves in position where they ;
v*,.. * control the delivery of the 1
tobacco, they vviYl, v-.~i.br1 he 1
called upon to pay 5c per lb. as 11-j*
quidated damages.* The Association
I and the loyal members expect me to
: Turing suit where it is necessary, and
| I shall continue to bring them a^d'
prosecute them vigorously until the i
[- : contract breachers in this county are 1
[ convinced that what they signed is A
[, l more than a mere scrap of paper. 1
will likely have five or six more suits '
in the hands of the sheriff, before i
L- your naoer comes from the press",

FAIR ATTRACTION
o
To show advantages of adapting it
to agricultural and industrial
power requirements.
Because of the constantly increasing
number of uses to which Fordson
rractors are being applied, the display
cf tfyese power plants at the t
Person County fair will interest not
?nly. the fanner, but the contractor, c
manufacturer and road builder as
well, says the local Sord dealer. t
The exhibit has been arranged by
the Crowell Auto Co. and will af- 1
ford visitors an opportunity of be- s
:oming more intimately acquainted
with the economic value of the Ford- I
son. * 1
More general recognition o^ the c
advantages of power farming has *
wrought the Fordson into greater c
Popularity in the agricultural sections *
>f the country this year than ever t
before. On the farms it does duty in \
variety of ways?in the fields oper- r
iting plows, disc, harrows and pther 1
implements; in the farm yard, operat- <
ing pumps,, saw mills, feed mills, 1
:hresher, -silo fillers and other equip- jt
ment devised to lighten the burdens j<
>f the farmer. M
{More remarkable, however, hhs.i
seen the recent growth of the Ford-1 f
?bn as an industrial power plant. ^1
Development of equipment to fit, i
Fordson power capabilities' has been <
narked during the last year until at i
present there is almost no job in c
which power is needed but what the s
Fordson is filling the bill. ' j (
In road construction and mainten- i
ince Fordson equipment is proving, j
most efficient and highway engineers <
everywhere are utilizing it. ! <
-Contractors, construction men and f
guilders are adapting Fordsons to <
meet their needs in operating as lo-. t
jomotives on narrow gauge tracks, i
hauling heavy trailers, running saw <

KOXBORO TOBACCO MARKET.
?ales Have Bren .Light, With Price*
Showing an Upward Tendency.
During the past week sales have *V ?
been light since the opening day. The
offerings the first week were soggy,
the weather being too damp with tobacco
in bad shape. We are glad to
say, however, since the -weather has
cooled up tobacco is getting in better * J
shape, and while the offerings are 3
still of the poorer grades, the price
shows an unward tendency, especially
was this true as to yesterday's
sales. 4
Both houses, the Hyco and the Independent,
had sales every day last .
week, except of course; Saturday, and
while there were no big sales made
it was noticeable that few farmers
were tucking their tags.
The Planters opened for their first
sale vesterday and they were very
much pleased with the opening sale.
They feel very much flattered at the
way their friends and the farmers
generally are bringing tobacco their
way.
With three auction sales here this
season it is predicted that the market
will sell a large portion of the tobacco
of this and adjoining counties.
And it should, for it is the logical
market.
