MARKET REPORT
Reports) from Eastern Carolina
tobacco markos indicate- slightly
improved prices with some pur
chases made by the Imperial To
bacco Co., which had been off the
market because of the “Chinese
situation.” Boycotts by the Chinese
were given as the excuse for stay
ing off the market.
Another stabilizing factor re-/
ported from the Eastern markets
has been the report of the crop
reporting bureau of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, which shows
an average in August for seven to
bacco markets in Robeson, Bladen
and Columbus counties of 18.2.1
cents, as compared wdth an aver
age of 17.44 cents for the same
markets last season for the same
month.
When Eastern Carolina markets
opened and foreign companies,
which have been buying a large
part of the tobacco, did not begin
buying, there was a feeling of
alarm. The fact that the averages
were down to 15 cents as compar
ed with 20 cents last year brought
a feeling of uneasiness.
Baltimore Bankers Inspect
The tobacco co-operatives start
ed the season with advances of <55
per cent of their average price
for the lest three years. In some
instances it was said that this
equalled the prices paid for the
same grades on the auction floor, .
These advancse were made thru
loans from the government inter
mediate bank at Baltimore, and
while serving as a stabilizing fac-1
for at a time when exporters were
off the market, the posibility of
low prices was thought to mean
the lowering of the advances by
the cooperatives, and this was
again reported to be a cause of
alarm.
The situation in Eastern Caro
lina brought a committee of bank
ers from Baltimore last week to
look over the situation. They were
accompanied by Dick Patterson,
general manager of the tobacco
Cooperatives, and they visited the
principal markets to see for them
selves. The advances were not de
creased as a result of their visit,
and with the more favorable report
from the government crop report
ing service, the advances by the
cooperatives are expected to re
main at the same level. ■
Speculators Active
Speculators from the- Georgia
and South Carolina markets are
reported as having brought tobac
co from those sections to East
ern Carolina, and to have aided
in the confusion. There has been
much congestion reported from to
bacco centers like Wilson because
of the bringing of the tobacco
from a long distance to be sold.
While the crop service of the
Federal government in North Car
olina was reporting slightly in
creased prices for tobacco, it also
put out a report Saturday that the
indications were for a yield of
325,296,000 pounds which is a gain
of 30,000,000 pounds over the pre
vious estimate and 50,000,000
pounds greater than last year.

W ins Over Hylan in Race for
Nomination As Mayor of New
York; Republicans Name Water
man; Hylan To Retire.
New York, Sept. 16. Over
whelmingly defeated by State Sen
ator James J. Walker, who won
the democratic nomination for
mayor of New Y'ork city by a plu
rality of 95,543 in the primaries
yesterday, Mayor John F. Hylan
announced today that he would re
tire to private life.
The mayor’s statement cleared the
perfervid atmosphere of New York
politics cc.osidei’abljy but some ob
servers continued to see the pos
sibility'of a third ticket in the No
vember elections headed by Mr.
Hylan in opposition to Senator
Walker and Frank D. Waterman,
the respective democratic and re
publican nominees.
That there would be such a tic
ket was asserted flatly in all edi
tions today of the Evening Jour
nal, newspaper of William Ran
porter of Mayor Hylan.
“I will return to private life,”
the mayor’s statement read, “with
my self respect unimpaired, my
conscience clear, and with the full
satisfaction of having scrupulous^
ly lived up to my oath of office-”
Senator Walker prepared for a
vacation today, saying that he was
leaving tomorrow to go into hid
ing for a rest. Intensive speak
ing campaign, he said, would be
resumed about October X5.
Fratnk D. Waterman, who won
the republican nomination by a
majority of 92,340 over his two
opponents, stated today that he
could only express his gratification
by repeating his campaign slogan:
“Say it with shovels.” The slo
gan developed from his plea to re
lieve subway congestion by build
ing more subway lines.—Associat

“According to the September 1
crop report released by the Unit
ed States Department of Agricul
ture on September 9th, the condi
tion of tobacco in North Carolina
was 80 per cent or normal com
pared with a ten year average con
dition on September 1st of 77 per
cent. This condition indicates a
production for North Carolina of
325,296,000 pounds as compared
with 278,320,000 pounds produced
last year. This expectation is about
the average crop for the past five
years,
“Prices on other markets in the
state are reported as rather dis
appointing to the growers. Sales
have been unusually heavy since
the opening of the season and the
quality of the leaf is much better
that last year. The yield will prob
ably average around 650 pounds

Letters ‘ H. T. Visible
On Shell of Hen Egg
Shelby, Sept. l5.—liens must be
“evoluting” of recent weeks. At
least they are now labelling their
own eggs. Such would be derived
from a report from Mooresboro, I
Route2, saying that Mrs. J. M. !
Irvin recently in gathering up eggs i
about the farm yard found a new- |
ly-laid egg with the letters “H. T.”
plainly visible in black across the |
white shell. The egg is now on
exhibit at the store of U. S. Me- j
Curry and is attracting quite a
bit of attention.
Ono of the ever present calam- !
ity howlers says that the “H. T.” j
so plainly visible must undoubted- j
iy herald hard times, but the “H.
T.” could just as easily proclaim :
a “Hen’s Triumph.” Anyway its ;
an odd specimen.

Parent-Teacher
Association Meets
The first meeting of the season j
the Parent-Teacher Association j
was held Tuesday afternoon at
the high school. Only a small
crowd was present, but those pres
ent appeared interested in the fu
ture of the organization. Mrs. P. i
H. Kasey, president.' of the asso- ]
ciation, presided. Mrs. T. J. Las
siter on behalf of the association
extended a welcome to the teach
ers. Mr. Shuford, superintendent
of the school, made a short talk
which was well received, and he
then called upon Miss Baker one
of the high school teachers, fur
a few remarks. Miss Baker’s words
were particularly gratifying. She
stated that in all her experience
in teaching she had never found
high school pupils so well pre
pared for their work. She found
them well behaved and with a
splendid school spirit. She express
ed the wish that the new teachers
might live up to the standard set.
The reports of the various com
mittees were called for, and the
usual routine of business dispos
ed of. The next meeting will be
held Tuesday afternoon after the
second Sunday in October.
of cost. The whiskey in this viola
tion was transported from Samp
son into Johnston county on the
night of March 26, 1925, and was
the same whiskey that was con
sumed in the fishing party which
resulted in the burning of Hubert
Gainey and the subsequent trial
and imprisonment of Mann and
Marvin Thornton.
The case against \V. M. Rose,
of Boon Hill township, charging
him with having whiskey in his
possession for the purpose of sale
was the last case called. Both the
state and the defendant have a
a large number if witnesses, and
when the state had completed its
evidence the court declared that it
would be impossible to hear the
evidence for the defense; conse
quently a recess of one week was
taken. This case will be resumed
beginning with the evidence for the
defense on next Tuesday morning
at ten o’clock.

Hon. Edw. W. Pou Makes
Address at First Public
Meeting of the Pou
Parrish Post of the
American Legion.
SERENADEES P L A Y
The Pou-Parrish post of the
American Legion gave its first
puhlie program here iri SmiLhfield
on Tuesday night, September 15,
at eight o’clock. Nothing preten
tious had been attempted and the
meeting consisted mainly in a
speech delivered by Hon. Edw. W.
Pou, and a report of the attend
ance on the state meeting of the
American Legion by Mr. Carlton
Stephenson. The state meeting was
held some ten days ago in Fayette
ville, and Mr. Stephenson’s brief
account indicated that Fayetteville
was all-hospitable and that the ex
service men had a wonderful meet
ing.
Mr. Pod’s address was timely
and much enjoyed. From begin
ning to end he emphasized the im
portance there is attached to ev
ery ex-service man’s taking mem
bership with the American Leg
ion. He deplored the fact that out
of the great mass of young men
who participated in the World
War that only a few of them had
joined the Legion. He discussed
the soldier’s bonus briefly in
which he stated that the word
“bonus” was a misnomer, and a
word which he never used in all
his efforts in Congress to secure
adjusted compensation for the for
mer service men. The speaker em
phasized this point: It was cost
ing the allies millions of dollars
daily to operate the World War,
and as a consequent cost to the al
lie.' it was costing the United
States also fabulous sums each
d#y the wav continued. This debt
was dismissed and stopped alto
gether by many many months as a
consequent of America’s entry in
to the fray; and when he hears a
man say that to pay an adjusted
compensation to the service men
would impoverish the government,
he always reminds him that the
government was rapidly approach
ing financial disaster which is en
tirely out of comparison to the
small amount/ required to meet the
meagre allowance which is com
monly referred to as Lhe soldier’s
bonus. Mr.-Poll's speech was well
delivered and much enjoyed.
The Riverside Serenaders were
present and rendered a splendid
program of music which greatly
added to the pleasure of the hour.
Mr. John C. Boykin
Died Last Wednesday
Mr. John C. Boykin, a promi
nent farmer of Wilders township,
died at his homo Wednesday after
noon about 6:30 o’clock. About two
weeks ago he underwent an oper
ation at Rex Hospital for an ab
sess in his head and, although he
was able to be up, he had not re
covered from the operation. It is
thought that the breaking of the
absess flooded his brain and caus
ed his death. He was fifty years
old.
Mr. Boykin was one of the larg
est farmers in the northern part of
the county and was an influential
man in his community. At the
time of his death he was one of
the road commissioners of Wild
ers township.
The funeral was held yesterday
afternoon at three o’clock at
Clyde’s Chapel, where the deceased
held his membership. The funeral
services were conducted by his
pastor. At the grave the Junior
Order took charge of the serv
ices. The deceased is survived by
his wife and throe children, Messrs.
John, Jr., and William Taft Boy
kin and Miss Mamie Boyl^n.
Thu entire community extends
sympathy to the bereaved ones in
their loss.
The only way to make the ex
hibits at the next county fair what
they should be is for each farmer
to begin now.
When the day’s work is done, a
fine sunset is an aspiring thing;
and often the friendly stars art
restful and comforting.

Hr EXPERIMENT
OIK
Henry Ford Suggests That Navy
Department Build and Experi
ment With Dirigibie Designed
By His Engineers.
Washington. Sept. 14.—(AP)—
A suggestion by Henry Ford that
the navy department build and ex
periment with a rigid dirigible de
signed by his engineers is being
given serious consideration by Sec
retary Wilbur. He said today, how
ever, tha*' he had reached no de
cision on the proposal.
Mr. Wilbur has asked the bu
reau of aeronautics to examine the
plans of the airship, which were
submitted by Mr. Ford’s engineers
and representatives of the Air
craft Development corporation of
Detroit at a conference last week.
It: was proposed that the ship
which would he 150 feet long, 50
feet in diameter and with a metal
gas bag be built at the the Phil
adelphia navy yard with the co
operation of the Ford engineers
and the corporation. The cost of
one dirigible was placed at ap
proximately §300,000.
The metal bag, the engineers
said, greatly would reduce the ten
dency of gas content to diffuse as
i compared with the composition
i covering on the Shenandoah and
would permit the ship to reach a
10,000 foot elevation without valv
ing.
Secretary Wilbur believes the
dirigible, which would have a speed
!of 70 miles per hour and a cruis
j ing radius of 2,000 miles, would
have “apparent military advanta
ges.” He will await a report by
department experts on lighter
than-air craft, however, before
reaching any decision on the offer.

to a swamp from where he was to
take them later and carry them
farther away. He promised to de
liver them up to justice, and offi
