He traveled over much ^ ^ of the country from New York and McKinnor., feels that, to say the least, the report of her death has been greatly exagger ated. On Monday Ben was bound to Superior Court under bond of $200. on a charge of bigamy, and Gladys Minter, wife number two, was re quired to give bond of $100. According to the evidence, Sarah, wife number one, was in another state, and Ben received a message telling of her death. He later married Gladys, only to find out a little while afterwards that Sarah was very much alive. Robert Seymour and Charles Con dor, white, of Sanford, were in court to face charges of violating the pro hibition laws and larceny of dogs. Condor was found not guilty and Sey mour was found not guilty as to the liquor charge. He pleaded nolo con tendere to the larceny charge. The dogs in question are two fox hounds, one being the property of Swanson | Cummings and the other of W. B. Brady, of the Hemp section. Seymour was required to pay the costs and to give bond of $200 to appear the first Monday in October, to which time 1 prayer for judgment was continued, j Dock Headen, colored, of Cameron, j was found guilty of assault with a j deadly weapon as a result of an al tercation with another colored man, and was ordered to pay the hospital bill and all costs, and was given six months on the roads, execution to issue at the will of the court. He ap pealed to the Superior Court and bond was fixed at $500. Seaboard Grape Exhibit Impresses Local Man J. C. Wells Makes Trip to Me- Bee, S. C., to Inspect Vine yards There AUGUST TOBACCO PRICE AVERAGE ABOVE YEAR AGO (Continued from Page 1) CAMERON New Jersey to Maine, asking ques tions and keeping his eyes open, and he comes home to say that business lias made material improvement up that way, and that as a matter of fact most of the industrial commun ities in which he stopped are feeling satisfied with the present and with the future. “The shoe industry,” said Mr. Gib bon,” is running in excellent shape, with demand that indicates a good winter, and nothing to forecast dull ness in sight for an indefinite period. Salesmen report a growing demand and low stocks in the stores. Up in Maine things are moving along as if no financial difficulty had ever come that way. Over in Gloversville, N. Y., named for its industries, the glove business is crowded by big demands for gloves, but especially for a long- sleeve glove for women which seems to have struck the fashion again with a W'hoop. Wherever I was the same signs are decisive. They don’t seem to know the country has been com plaining about hard times.” Mr. Gibbon says the situation up that way looks favorable for a good "business in the Sandhills, as folks who want to get away from the cold weather evidently have the means. And as cold weather comes along during prosperity or any other time the folks will probably want to dodge it this year as well as in any other year. Other folks who have been com ing this way from New England re port the same favorable conditions up there, and one traveler remarked that the people of the Northeast do not seem aware that the country is in hard luck, if it is. Lespedeza Working Wonders in County There’ll Be Hundreds of Bushels of Seeds Saved This Fall, Says Garrison By E. H. Garrison Since the summer rains started, our crop of lespedeza in the county has come out wonderfully and from all indications now there will be hun dreds of bushels of seed saved in the county this fall. This is one legume crop which if given a chance will ab solutely build up poor land with as little cost as anything else we can J. C. Wells, formerly of Westches ter county, New York, who some time ago bought the Holland place near Lakeview from Gardner and Mc Queen, and who is regenerating the orchard and making of it a promis ing proposition, was down at McBee, South Carolina, a few days ago look ing over the fine vineyards there. He was pleased with the success of the California types of grapes, which are growing there to perfection. The California grapes are the European grapes, grafted on American stock in this country, and made to produce the fine varieties of fruit that come here from California in large qyantities every season. Mr. Wells says the crop is excellent this fall in South Carolina and the people enthusiastic over the harvest and the returns. He has been looking into the sub ject and considering whether some of the California vines might be satis- foctory to plant in this section. His peach orchard is coming along nicely, and although the prices this summer did not strike him as pleasing as they might he has his orchard in promis ing shape for next season, and he is much pleased with the Sandhills and the outlook. He lives in Southern Pines at the present, and his future home location will probably he decid ed later on as things develop.

The guests were met at the door by Mrs. Pickier and directed to the Bride’s Register which was pre sided over by Mrs. J. W. Pickier. Af ter registering the guests were shown into the living room where a minia ture wedding was performed. Preceeding the ceremony Mrs. W. K. Carpenter played softly “Drink To Me Only w’ith Thine Eyes,” after which Miss Elinor Pickier, Hoov er Adcox and Esther Farrell sang. As the pianist played “Long, Long Ago,” Hoover Adcox, acting as minister, and Esther Farrell as bridesmaid entered and took their places at the altar. To use. W. J. Harrington, Register of | the strains of the wedding march Deeds, is a strong supporter of this I from Lohengrin, little Misses Gladys crop. He says he has a field near Adams and Margaret Troutman de- Glendon which five years ago would not glow anything at all, not even weeds. Two years ago he put this m lespedeza for a soil building crop and left it there to fight its own battle. This spring he turned this piece of land and put it in corn. He put 200 lbs of 8-3-3 under the corn and 80 pounds of sulphate of ammon ia around it. He estimates now that the field will make 40 bushels of corn per acre. Dr. Street at Glendon is also very much sold on lespedeza. This year he has 40 or 50 acres planted and it is as pretty as I have seen anywhere. Although Dr. Street is a practicing physician, ( he is nerer too busy to stop for a few minutes at least to tell you about his lespedeza. This year he has Tenn. 76, Korean and some Common. A trip to his place to see just what he has would be well worth anyone’s time. There are also numbers and num bers of others who are taking ad vantage of the wonderful possibil ities which lespedeza offers. When you stop to consider the fact that nine out of every ten farmers who have tried this crop have been suc cessful with it there must be some thing to it. I understand that at one time Union and Stanley counties were considered about tljfe poorest counties in the state. Right now I suppose that they are just al)c4at as well off from an agricultural standpoint as any. I do not believe that any farmer can afford to farm poor land and I am satisfied that he can not do this profitably. With the present high cost of fertilizer and the low return from cash crops it is quite evident that we are going to have to look around for some thing to take the place of so much of the fertilizer which we have been using in the past. As I see it now, time and legumes are the solution of our problem. Orders are now coming in for les- pedez^ seed pans. Three or four 'bushels of seed will pay for a pan. scended the staiis, scattering flowers in the path of the bride.

W. with 28,260,000 pounds a year ago. “The indicated production of cigar filler is about 6,000,000 pounds above last year on a slightly reduced acre age. However, the Pennsylvania seed- leaf crop is forecast at 18,000,000 pounds above the 38,600,000 pounds harvested in 1930, while the produc tion of Miami valley types is expected to be nearly 12,000,000 pounds less than a year ago. Production of cigar binder types as a whole is forecast at nearly 82,000,000 pounds or about 11,- 000,000 pounds;below 1930, Connecti cut Valley Havana seed and south ern Wisconsin showing the greatest reductions. Cigar wrapper types also show probable reductions from last year’s production, the total for wrap per types being now forecast at 8,- 342.000 pounds compared with 11,- 696.000 pounds in 1930.” Big Fertilizer Bill The significance of this report is that while the bright belt has de creased production by about 141,000,- 000 pounds, the burley district has in creased by more than 70,000,000 pounds. Cigar binder and wrapper types are materially lessened, indi cating that if Kentucky and Tennes see ha>J cut their production as the other districts have done the tobacco situation might be somewhat better than it is. Another thing that may be of in terest to the farmers is found in the late report. Of 4,170,471 tons of fertilizer sold in the cotton belt, more than a fourth was sold in North Carolina, a state that rnakes about one-twentieth of the cotton. • Of course all the fertilizer sold in North Carolina cotton belt did not go to raise cotton, but a big proportion did. Texas which raises five times as much cotton as North Carolina did it with only about a fifteenth as much commercial fertilizer. Which may be one reason the margin of profit is small in this state in cotton growing. FOR SALE—One living-room suite, consisting of a bed davenport and two chairs, also a Simmons bed and a dresser.
