Kiwanians Plan
To Boost Market
Booster Trips, Individual Ad.
vertising, Press Publicity
Will Be Employed.
The noonday heat of a July sun
Thursday did not deter the mem
bers of the local Kiwanis club
from gathering around the festive
board laid in the Woman’s club
room, and enjoying the repast
prepared by Mrs. A. S. Johnston.
The Smithfield tobacco market
loomed biggest in the discussions
which followed the eats, and if the
plans presented by the advertis
ing committee which were adopt
ed by the club, are carried to com
pletion, the tobacco growers of
Johnston county will hear further
from this meeting*. Booster trips
for four days preceding the open
ing of the market will again be
undertaken, and personal invita-1
tions, together with unanswerable |
arguments will combine to induce !
Johnston county tobacco growers
to sell their product in Johnston.!
ine mercnants, ousiness firms,
lawyers, doctors and all will be |
asked to join in the move to ad- |
vertise the local market in some I
individual manner, which, with ^
concentrated advertising, is calcu
lated to bring better results.
There will also be an effort to
keep before the public through the
press the advantages of the Smith
field market.
Before the meeting* adjourned, a
letter was read from the chairman
of the State U. D. C. Bentonville
battleground committee, asking
for cooperation in putting on i pa- j
triotic celebration this fall when
the niaiker, given by the U. D. C. I

sion, shall be unveiled. The mat
ter was referred to the committee
on public affairs.

tleground. An enjoyable and prof
itable day could tand should be
arranged for the occasion.

NEEDLEMAN SUES
MOB FJOR $100,000
Spotlight Of Publicity Is Again
Focused Pitilessly On Mar
County’s Most Brutal
Crime.
Starting suit in the federal
courts for $100,000 as the re
sult of his mutiliation at the
hands of a Martin county mob,
Joseph H. Needleman, of Phil
adelphia, has again focused
the spotlight of public atten
tion on the grisly affair which
resulted in the conviction of
28 mob members—convictions
which in the opinion of many
marked the breaking of the
backbone of the “Lynch law”
in North Carolina.
Papers in Needleman’s suit were
received Wednesday at the office
af United States Marshal R. W.
Ward here. They were filed Tues
day in the U. S. District Court
•it Washington, N. C.
THIRTY-TWO DEFENDANTS.
Thirty-two persons are named
as defendants in the suit. De
fendants include in addition to the
convicted mob members, several of
whom are now serving long terms
in the State’s Prison, Sheriff H.
T. Robertson, of Martin county,
whom Needleman alleges aided
and abetted in the mutilation by
‘counseling, advising and witness
ing” the unspeakable operation.
NEEDLEMAN MARRIED.
Jienewal ot interest m the
Necdlcman case brought to light
Lhe fact that the victim has mar
ried since his recovery from his
misfortune, according to reliable
sources of information here.
TWO YEARS AGO.
Needleman’s mutilation took
place a few days after his arrest
on a charge of criminally assault
ing Ethel Griffin, a Williamston
girl. This charge was later drop
ped.
In the small hours of Sunday,
March 29, at 2:30 a. m., exact,
masked men came to his William
ston jail cell, clipped the locks and
bolts, tore down the jail doors and
seized him, he maintains, adding in
his petition thtt he recognized
Dennis Griffin, F. W. Sparrow sr.,
F. Welfred Sparrow jr., and Claro
Heath. He was driven out of town
a mile and a half. Sparrow sr.,
asked if he wished to be killed or
mutiliated, the petition recites, and
the Philadelphia traveling sales
man told them to do as they pleas
ed, whereupon “occurred one of
the most shocking and bloodstir
ring crimes in the history of the
State.” He was refused a lift to
town, he recites, but later was
rushed to a Washington, N. C.,
hospital and recovered within eight
or nine weeks.
STERN JUSTICE.
The State was aghast when de
tails of the horrible crime became
known. Rewards were offered for
the guilty parties and widespread
arrests followed as members of the
mob hurried to turn State’s evi
dence.

SMITHF1ELD POST OFFICE
SEEKS LARGER QUARTERS
Post Office Inspector Submits Plans And
Specifications To Postmaster Stancil
Postoffice Inspector W. J. Dixon,
of Richmond, Va., was in the city
for a few hours last Saturday in
connection with a plan to secure
larger quarters and better equip
ment for the Smithfield postoffice
While here Mr. Dixon cfiscussec
the matter with Mayor Underwood
and Postmaster Stancil and dther.5
and left at the postoffice a supply
of blanks to be used in submitting
proposals, a sample of the form
of lease now to be used, a drawing
of a safe that would be acceptable,
building requirements and a list
of firms who make and handle
standard postoffice equipments.
Since returning to Richmond,
Dixon has mailed to Postmaster
Stancil a copy of the specifications
for a complete outfit of new equip
| ment. All these papers may be
seen at the postoffice by anyone
interested.
A notice has beers ported in the
lobby of the postoffice asking for
proposals to be submitted up to
and including August 23, 1927, for
the leasing of about 2100 square
feet of floor space for either five
or ten years and furnishing all
j necessary equipment including
heat, light, water, etc. The pres
ent lease will expire at on Decem
ber 31, 1927 and the new quar
ters must be ready by that time.
Inspector Dixon expressed the
hope that some one mig-ht become j
sufficiently interested in the mat
ter to construct a suitable build-1
ing and equip it it every way suit-!
able for an up to date postoffice.!
Commends Negro
Farm Work Here
State Department Think
Work of Negro Farm Dem.
onstration Agent Fruitful}
Gardens Are Stressed.
C. R. Hudson, who is in charge
of the Neg*ro Farm Demonstration
work in the state, was in Johnston
county a few days ago inspecting
the work of local Agent McKay
McNeill, and upon his return to
Raleigh made the following repoj^
concerning it:
He states that he found the
work in a very fine condition and
found the negro farmers very much
interested in getting the better
methods which the extension serv
ice has to offer thorn. In going
from farm to farm he found soy
beans growing on a nun<|ber of
them that had not grown them be
fore. These beans will be used as
a hay crop or for grazing off by
iiogs. He also found a number of
farmers growing sudan grass for
hay and for pasturage. Corn and
cotton crops that were in the dem
onstration work were much better
than the average of those that did
not have the benefit of the work.
One of the most valuable fea
tures of the work he found to be
that of the garden. Local Agent
McNeill has a garden contest on in
till1 county, mr. nuu&un vi&itcu, in
spected and judged 21 of the gar
lens. His average score for them
was 92 per cent. The average
number of vegetables found per
garden was 18. The score on cul
tivation was 88; that on fertiliza
tion, 77; size of garden, 98; loca
tion, 90.
The gardens averaged almost ex
actly one-fourth of an acre. This
was found to produce more vege
tables /than the average family
can consume, so quite a number1 of
the gardeners have been selling
vegetables. Many of them will can,
and in other ways preserve veg
etables for winter use. A number
of the gardeners were asked as to
the value of their garden. While
the answers varied naturally, yet
is was ascertained that the gar
dens on an average were worth
more than $100.00 each, that is,
over $400.00 per acre. Thus it will
be seen that the garden is the
most important and most valuable
part of the farm, hence the atten
tion given it.

SAMPSON COl'NTY OIL
WELL IS PRODUCING
GOLDSBORO, July 24.—Oil in
sufficient quantities to indicate that
there would be production of from
25 to 100 barrels a day is pouring
from the hole drilled to a depth
of 600 feet in Sampson county, ac
cording to a long distance phone
message received in Goldsboro on
Saturday night from Paul Rardin
of Clinton.
Mr. Rardin stated that excite
ment in that place runs high and
that every store, bank and busi
ness building has bottled samples
and glasses of crude oil on exhi
bition. The drills encountered the
oil at a depth of 600 feet after
having cut through hard rock for
more than 100 feet. A chemical
test has been made by a local chem
ist who pronounced the oil genu
ine crude with a parafine base
similar to Pennsylvania oil.
Experienced oil men who have
been convinced for several years
that there is oil in Sampson coun
ty are confident that a continua
tion of the drilling will add ma
terially to the oil already found,

Kinston, July 28.—The Lions

it a meeting* held out on the banks
)f the River, as endorsing the pro
gram of the Eastern Carolina
Chamber of Commerce now being
put on in Harnett, Sampson and
Johnston counties through the
Branch Office at Benson, and ac
cepted Lillingfon’s quota of the
financial budget. President J. R.
Baggett made a very interesting
jpening address, giving his entire
ipproval of the good work now be
ng done by the sectional organi
sation. Mr. Baggett said that he
lad been keeping up with the pro
gress that the Eastern Carolina
Chamber of Commerce had made
iuring the past five years and that
le was convinced that it had done
and is doing now a wonderful work
for Eeastern North Carolina.
E. G. Moore, Manager of the

to these three counties, Johnston,
Harnett and Sampson, more dairy

secretary iNeweu u. rsarueic. oi
the sectional organization was pre
sented and spoke for twenty min
utes on the aims, purposes and ac
complishment;/ f>f tihe oripanizar
tion. The Secretary showed con
clusively that the organization had
played quite an important part in
creating a spirit for progressive
ness in the section during the past
five years. “We selected Johnston.
Harnett and Sampson counties for
this 'particular office, primarily
to show that a live stock program
can be put into effect successfully
in the largest cotton growing
counties in the section.” The Sec
retary said, “Johnston county is
the largest cotton producing coun
ty in the state and Harnett and
Sampson are not far behind.” Our
aim is to import into these three
counties within 18 months at least
1,000 new dairy cows, he continu
ed.” The net earnings of the far
mers of Eastern North Carolina
are not in proportion to the gross
earnings, which accounts for the
increase of mortgages being re
corded in practically every county
in the section.” The Secretary said.
In his opinion this is due to the
fact that the program is not well
balanced and more goes out than in
in which necessarily creates a de
ficit.
At the close of the meeting the
Lions Club unanimously accepted
the quota for Lillington and pled
ged the Lions Club to back the
program to the limit. Mr. Anthony,
teacher of Vocational Education in
the Lillington High School, made
a short speech.
