rQ-OP CONTRACT
HAS SHARP TEETH
Member Gets 20 Days in Jail
For Selling on Auction Floor
In Defiance of Court
Violation of the Tobacco Growers
Association contract in defiance of a
restraining order to prevent the sale
of his tobacco on the auction floor re-
sultea on September 27 in a sentence
of tveiity days in jail for Will Evans,
of ^Vayiie County, whose case was
tried before Superior Court Judge M.
V. Barnhill at Smithfield, N. C.
Evans, who has already paid a fine
of ^50 for contempt of court because
he ignored a similar restraining order
last ytar, is one of four tobacco farm
ers who have been fined or jailed this
season for selling their crop on the
auction floors in defiance of restrain
ing’ orders.
The tobacco association has been
most successful this year in winning
every injunction proceeding against
members who have attempted to sell
their 1924 crop outside of their as
sociation. Up to the present time
seventeen injunctions against member
growers have been continued in East
ern North Carolina. The only injunc
tion so far dissolved was that against
two time merchants of Kinston, who
held mortgages against member grow
ers and insisted upon the sale of the
tobacco. This case was heard last week
in Kinston by Superior Judge Oliver
H. Allen.
This decision was directly contrary
to that delivered by Judge Henry A.
Grady at Whiteville, N. C., a few days
before, in which the court restrained
the bank of Whiteville and a time
merchant from selling the tobacco of
an association member to whome it
had advanced $2,500, the court holding
that the creditor must allow the crop
to go through the association and get
his payments in regular order from
the association.
More than thirty cooperative re
ceiving points opened for the tobacco
growers of Virginia and Western
North Carolina, October 1, with the
highest advances ever paid by the as
sociation to its members in the old
belt. These advances ranged from
$32.50 down to $12.50 on the associa
tion’s wrapper grades. Its advances on
cutters ranged from $26 dawn to $12
on the first eight grades. The first
five grades of Lugs brought advances
ranging from $10 to $4, and the prim
ings from $9 to $4. Advances on the
great majority of old belt tobacco
reaching the cooperative warehouse
have been materially increased, and
the privilege of borrownig exactly
the amount of th^ first cash advance
paid for each delivery has been ac
corded every member of the tobacco
association in the three states.
Tobacco farmers who are members
in Eastern North Carolina have added
the $600,000 payment made last week
on their 1923 crop to the increased
cash advance on this season’s deliver
ies which they have recieved to date
on over 4,000,000 pounds of tobacco

Reservations for seats to the Var
sity State-Davidson game are coming
m on every mail. The choice seats
will be given oxit in the order of res
ervations. Tickets will be ready for
actual sale in a few days. We would
advise not to delay ordering them too
long. The seats are limited.
A new and unusually interesting
event of the Fair will be the first
Singers Contest between Choirs of
Johnson, Harnett, Sampson and
Cumberland Counties on Tuesday,
October 28th., at 1:00 P. M. $150
in cash prizes are to be awarded for
this contest and rehersals have been
in progress for some time.
Those who have heard these choirs
know what an enjoyable feature it
will be while those who have not are
going* to experience pleasure and
surprise. These choirs meet every
Sunday somewhere in the section
during the Summer to spend the
afternoon in friendly singing contests
It was the good fortune of the
writer to attend one of these Sunday
afternoon sings which resulted in an
invitation to them to enter in a real
contest at the Sandhill Fair. It is
expected that this will be the begin
ning of a State-wide Contest that
will eventually bring thousands of
singers together on one day of the
Fair.
In many of the northern States
these contests are held annually,
some of them continuing for the bet
ter part of a week, and are always
attended by great crowds which are
limited only to the capacity of the
building in which they are held.
Four thousand people went to Lil-
lington last year to attend the Har
nett County singing contest.

Almost everywhere one goes nowa
days will be seen groups of folks pitch
ing horseshoe. In driving from
Winston Salem to Asheboro the other
day, the writer stopped at a way
side garage about half way between
the two places. His attention was
taken with a horse shoe pitching
game. It was so far from Pinehurst
that he had no idea they knew any
thing about the Touranment to be
held at the Fair so mentioned to
them that they ought to take part in
this touranment. To his surprise
one of the contestants said, “that is
just what we are pitching for.”
THE PILOT
Mrs. J. R. Page, Aberdeen, will be
more than glad to hear from any one
who will take one of these States.
She also has a stock of Denalijon
paper at cost, and photographs of
floats that have won prizes else
where.

SANDHILL FAIR NOTES
A new inpetus has been added to
the popularity contest for “Miss
Carolina due to the fact that the win
ner not only will be the star of the
Parade of States on Thursday of the
Fair but will also be crowned Queen
of the Harvest Ball on Friday night.
******
The Old Fashioned Baby Show,
which takes place on Wednesday of
the Fair at 11:00 A. M. promises to
be unusually interesting in the One
Year and under Class.
Many husky young citizens and citi-
zenesses have arrived in the Sand
hills since last year’s Fair and while
the writer has not seen all of them he
has seen enough to convince him that
the Sandhills is a wonderful section
for babies and that the Judges are
going to have ther work cut out for
them on account of the general A-1
quality of the contestants.
