Cameron said, "leaving sj many business deals un finished." Friends Active But he bewrayed hope, and word coming from friends in Hoke and Scot land and Robeson counties in North Carolina and Coosa. Talladeega. Au tauga and Jefferson counties in Ala bama that friends already were mov ing to seek his parole indicated that it was not a vain hope. "I didn't g* . straight to Alabama. I first went to ConcinnatC* said Cam eron. tellin* of his escape from Cale donia Prison farm on Decipher , 22. 1914. He was in charge of the hos pital then. I During ttye war I drilled to NTus cle Shoals and handled the employ ment office there I thought that if ever. I would be turned up there, fori I saw daily people from all over the'i country, doubtless many from North Carolina but I wasn't recognized. j Wanted To Give Up ? For four years the idea of recap ture haunted me. Ten years ago I almost decided to come back and give myself up. but I did not know what my lot would be. I went to Alabama and settled down at Sylacauga I de cided to settle down and try to lay up something. - ? After a 'while in Alabama I lost fear of recapture. It was a new life. I have voted there ever since a year after, taking up residence, i votod for A1 Smith in the . last election. I was getting, along fine when ? The rest of the story was kntfwn? how after being turned, down, by two Sheriff* when they learned, the iden tity of the man he. was after. War den Norman went himself at two o'clock, in thp' ? morning to : one of Cameron* camps and "arrested him. 'He* -ditin*i resist.'* said Warden rcorman. 'he. waived extraction, spent a "day ; in Birmingham turning: ?. "ver.. r.;s' rffairs to his '.son and came op tftth' me." ' ( '??That loot's familiar." "the warden ^ 'his prisoner ? as saving' w'n?n '> first saw .the prison. . Saturday " night'" - The warden said that ?hl> they were waiting In Birmingham scores of - persons in' Sylacauga and other places where his prisoner was known sent messages promising their support and wishing him well. In addition to working ten turpen tine and lurob&mg camps, employ ing upward of a hundred rrien. Cam eron was a member of the board of the General Setrities Co.. of Birming ham. and active in business aflairs in the four sountis* nf_lus_holdings. Friends; estimated that he^fc worth several hundred thousand dollars. Superintendent George Ross Pou said that Cameron would be put through the regular routine of prison entry this morning and probably would be assigned to work in the chair factory. He said that the $100 reward for the prisoner's recapture probably Would be paid to the Alabama dep uties who went along with Warden Norman when he made the arrest. None of the reward money, it was indicated, would be paid to the per son who gave the information leading' to Cameron's arrest. Should it be. the voucher would become a public record, and the name of the inform ant disclosed.

I h Last Week 1 Last week was a busy week on the to bacco market here, and we are proud of the many good sals made for our friends at the I Hyco Warehouse R cxboro, IN. C. Of course, we could not please every one, for sometimes the farmer thinks his tobacco is just a little better them it shows up to be, but we try to see that every pile of tobacco sold on our floor brings its true value, and that no farmer goes away dissatisfied. If we failed to get you just what you wanted, remember, it was not our fault, and pos siblj', you had your prices set a little, too high, But in any event, when you want our very best efforts just bring us a load and we will give it our personal attention and do our very best to fatisf^ you. We have no favorites and pay just as much attention to the small farmer as to the man who raises millions of pounds. Come td see OT. Your friends.
