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", r' .
