—
Tom Robinson Convicted In
Wilmington Court of
Criminal Assaut on
Young Girl.
TO DIE OCTOBER 2ND
On October 2 Tom Robin
son, negro janitor who attack
ed and beat into unconscious
ness a nineteen-year-old stu
dent nurse of Wilmington,
will die in the electric chair.
The crime look place about
three weeks ago.
When the sentence was pro
nounced by Judge C. C. I.yon,
the court room was packed.
There were about fifty depu
ty sheriffs moving to and fro
in the enclosure and two uni
formed men, the Wilmington
Light Infantry, uniformed
and armed was in readiness at
the armory if their assistance
had been needed. There was
no trouble and the jury ren
dered their verdict after being
out only fifty minutes.
Wilmington, Sept- 2.—Tom Rob
inson, negro who assaulted the
student nurse here near the James
Walker Memorial Hospital on the
night of August 12, is now' on trial
for his life. Court dfeliberations
were begun here Monday morning.
Judge C. C. Lyons, of Elizabeth
town, is here to hold the special
term for this trial- Woodus Kel
lum, the solicitor of the Wilming
ton district, is unable to attend
court and J. A. McNorton, of the
local bar, is prosecuting in his
stead. Solicitor McNorton is as
sisted by W. F. Jones and Herbert
McClammy. Tom Robinson, the
negro, is defended by John Keny,
a South Carolina lawyer, and David
Sinclair and Wm. J. Bellamy, of
the local bar
All of Monday and the forenoon
of Tuesday were taken up in pre
liminaries and selecting the jury.
The taking of the evidence started
at three p. ni. Tuesday. The case
is receiving deep interest and its
progress is necessarily slow. Feel
ing is tense and every precaution
is being observed to forestall vio
lence. About fifty deputies are
stationed about the court room.
Circumstantial evidence is heavy
against the accused man, and the
prevailing opinion is that he will
be found guilty of a crime which
will cost him his life.
Tom Robinson is a big black man
about six feet tall. He has the
apparent strength of a giant. His
demeanor in the court house is
sullen and defiant. He consults his
counsellors with a positive air of
importance. The populace wonders
if this air will continue until the
end of the Irish
]i is reported that The outraged
woman is in a serious frame of
mind and state of health, and she
will not be required to spend any

Slash of $100,000 In School
Budget May Cause Trou
ble; Six. Months School
Must He Provided.
COUNTY
PROSPEROUS
The school situation in this
county is causing' considerable
comment outside of the county as
well as within the borders of
Johnston, A dispatch from Ral
eigh appeared in last Sunday's
Greensboro Daily News, which
gives perhaps the most compre
hensive idea of what is being
said, though items have appeared
during the past week in other lead
ing state dailies- The article is
herewith reproduced:
“Notwithstanding Johnston
county’s cut of more than $100,000
in the school budget and the gen
eral acquiescence in this act' of
the county commissioners, the
state superintendent’s office is more
jammed with Johnstonians de
manding school than any county
in the state.
“The commissioners have not
been “lawed” yet on any proposal
of theirs to shut off the school
support. It has not gone so far
as that. Superintendent Alien isn’t
much of a buttinsky. He has al
lowed under his administration
the largest local self-government.
Rut the state superintendent is
ruling that the county, every coun
ty for that matter, must provide
a six months school term. Every
school child is required between
certain ages to attend. The two put
together form a condition which
makes the Johnston situation un
certain.
Money Must Be Raised
“For JohnRton must get its
children to school. It cannot stop
| for want of money. It must levy
I the tax. The state helps, but it
must do its part. The state super
intendent is not holding that the
county commissioners cannot make
up their own budget; but he and
,the constitution are holding that
' they must provide that six months
term for every child.
“Which seems to mean that
Johnston is going to take back
water. The county which is unpre
cedently prosperous must send its
children to school and when a
school is far from base that it be
comes necessary to take the school
to the child, that will be done. On
that the law is quite specific. It
may upset utterly the recent act
of the commissioners. Here is a
portion of that law:
Provisions of Law
“Section 2, article IX, of the
constitution says in part: “The
general assembly, as its first ses
sion under this constitution, shall
provide by taxation and otherwise
I for a general and uniform system
of public schools, wherein tuition
shall be free of charge to all the
children of the state between the
ages of G and 21 years.

PROFITABLE CROP
FOR EASTERN N. C.
Spinach Is Recommended as
the Most Important of the
Leafy Greens; liemand
Increased.
Raleigh, Sept- 2.—In recent
years the dietitians have been urg
ing us to eat more greens for our
health’s sake. This campaign has
noticeably increased the demand
for this type of vegetable crop.
“Spinach is probably the most
important of the leafy greens,
says Robert Schmidt, horticultur
ist for the extension division at
State College, “and has a great
advantage in being a cool season
crop, thereby fitting in very well
with an all year succession of
vegetables.
Both the climate and soil of
eastern North Carolina are favor
able to the growth of spinach.”
A rich, well drained, sandy loam
soil is best suited to the crop. A
commercial fertilizer analyzing 8
per cent phosphoric acid, S) per
cent nitrogen and 3 per cent poo- I
ash is recommended. This is used
at the rate of 1600-2000 pounds
[per acre, making about four ap
plications during the growing sea-!
son. Well rotted stable manure
also gives excellent results as a
fertilizer.
‘‘Spinach is either drilled in
beds or sown broadcast,” says Mr.
Schmidt. “The common practice in
this section of the country is to
sow in 4-row beds, the rows ten
to twelve inches apart. As soon as ,
the plants have formed three or
four true leaves they are thinned
out to stand 4 to 6 inches in the
row. About 20 pounds of seed an
required to sow an acre using the l
4-row bed method, and they should .
be planted at intervals during
September and October so as to
harvest during November and De- i
cember.”

TOURIST TRAVEL
North Carolina is Enjoying

North Carolina thi sseason is
enjoying its greatest year of tour
ist travel. This is apparent by ob- j
servation of the increased number
of foreign plates all main high- j
ways and by calls for information |
at headqgarters 'and branch of

During the months of July and
August there were 49,000 calls j
for information and routings at!
the Greensboro office of the club

were constantly on duty at head- !
quarters, supplying routings, the t
night shift often remaining on
duty until 10 p. m. and later.
Calls for license and title infor
; mation at the Carolina Motor club
and its branches totalled 265,000.
While many of the reffuests for
touring informatidn came from
1'ither states, the great bulk of data
was supplied native Tarheels who
vacationed by auto. The number
of persons making extended trips,
especially to the East and Cami

Tobacco Market Considered
Somewhat Better Yesterday
farmers Generally Disappointed But Little Dissatisfaction
On the SaAithfield Market; Quarter Million Pounds Sold
Here First Day; Low Grades Marketed.
The opening of the tobacco mar
ket here Tu'^day was attended
by the usual features—a big
crowd, lots of t-jbacco, plenty of
buyers, anxious warehousemen and
anxious farnu rs, but the price on
(the whole was disappointing. The
I average on the opening day was
somewhat lower than on opening
day last year. Sixteen cents was
said to be about the average, this
being practically the same as oth
er markets in this section. The av
erage unofficially reported for
Wilson was 10 cents; Kinston, 16
cents; Greenville 16 cents and
Goldsboro 15 cents.
Grades offered the first day were
apparently below the grades of
fered a year ago, much of it being
the first curing.
Something like a qurater of a
] million pounds were sold here at
the opening sale. All day long
Tuesday the song of the auction
eers was heard in the Banner
warehouse, it being about five o’
clock when the last pile there was
sold. Everybody was tired and the
sale at the sale at the New
Smithfield Tobacco warehouse was
deferred until Wednesday, when
practically a repetition of the first
i di\;'V sale '>ok place. Quite a
good bit of tobacco was placed on
the floor of the Banner on Wednes
day, but it remained for yester
day to see another big break. The
prices yesterday were about the
same as opening day. if any change
perhaps a little better.
There appears to be little dis
satisfaction on the part of the
farmers other than a general dis
appointment that the prices are
