Make Your Plans TO SELL YOUR TOBACCO —IN— SMITHFIELD THIS SEASON “It’s just a little highere here” Johnston County’s Oldest and Best Newspaper flj Am — Established 1882 IF IT’S FOR THE GOOD OF, JOHNSTON COUNTY, THE HERALD’S FOR IT. # * $2.00 PER YEAR VanzettFs Body To Be Cremated __ « Ashes of Anarchist Will Be Taken On Tour of Europe; High Lights In Case BOSTON, Ag. 24.—The ash?? > of Bartolomeo Vanzetti are to be taken on a tour of Europe. Miss Luigi Vanzetti, who came from Italy to see her brother before h was executed in the State prison yesterday, is to accompany them. After cremation here the ashes will be taken to New York, Lon don. Paris, Beilin, Stockholm and other cities before going- to Italy, Vanzetti’s native land. The body of Nicola Sacco, who was executed with Vanzetti, also is to be cremated. His ashes will be claimed by his widow, who re sides in Boston with her two chil dren. Announcing a cancellation of plans for exhibiting the bodies of the two men in various American cities because of the “physical im possibility” the Sacco-Vanzetti de fense committee said the cremation would be next Sunday in the north end, the Italian section of Boston, the announcement said. Difficulties developed in this con nection today. City ordinances re quire burial within four days of death without special permission. TO MAKE DEATH MASKS. Mrs. Glenbower Ives, wealthy society woman, associated with the defense, said that death masks would be made of the two men and many copies distributed. The state, today still held the bodies but the tenure which began with their arrest for murder in 1920 is likely to be broken before night by delivery of the bodies to the Sacco-Vanzetti defense com mittee. The men refused to the last \o return to the Catholic religion of their childhoods. Respecting their beliefs, it was announced that no prayers would be said but that com rades would speak briefly before the cremation. TO EXPOSE “CONSPIRACY.” A call has gone out for a na tional conference in New York on August 27 and 28 to organize a league “to establish the innocence of Sacco and Vanzetti and to ex pose the conspiracy which sent them to their death.” It was proposed to accomplish this by a senatorial investigation of the Department of Justice in quiry into the decisions of Gover nor Fuller and his advisory com mittee and by exposing “the vic ious under cover activities of pri vate and governmental detective agencies.” It was hoped also to raise a fund for Mrs. Sacco and to create a memorial for the two men. A tost case of Boston ordinances on sauntering and loitering is to be made by Arthur Garfield Hays, New York attorney, by appealing the cases of six persons fined $10 each for congregating in front of the State House in a death watch. Among the six are Edna St. Vin cent Millay, poet, and Ellen Hayes, formerly professor at Wellesley College. Fines of $5 each were paid by 148 other persons.-—Associated Press. high lights in case BOSTON, Aug. 24.—Important dates in the Sacco-Vanzetti case April 15, 1920—Murder of Fred erick A.

Young Gets Reply To Letter President of Tobacco Associa tion Points Out Impracti cability of Changing Dale of Opening Tobacco Market Is1 ow In rpely to a letter from T. C. Young in which a petition from Smithfield for earlier opening of, the tobacco market was enclosed, A. B. Carrington, president of +b.e Tobacco Association of the United States, states that it is impossible at this late date to make, the change. Mr. Carrington’s letter to Mr. Young is as follows: “I am in receipt of your favor of August 18th enclosing petition in regard to opening markets in Eastern Carolina.. “The dates for opening the mar kets are set on 4,he recommenda tion of a committee appointed by the Tobacco Association of the United States, composed of repre sentative people in the tobacco business, including* warehousemen. “It is impossible to change the date now as it would cause no end of confusion, and the buyers are all located at different points and are scheduled to be in East jern Carolina on September 6, the' j opening date. If sales are opened jpiior to that time the farmers will | not gob full prices for their to bacco as the larger buyers could not be represented. “I appreciate the fact that the crop in Eastern North Carolina should have come on the markit earlier, but as the date is^set and all the schedules are made out, it is impossible to make a change at this time.” The petition, which was signed by practically all of the business land professional men of this city, was circulated at the instance of the Eastern Carolina chamber of commerce, and similar, petitions were used from ail the tobacco towns of this section as vF&ll as others with no tob'cco market. ■ MRS.

Admiral Ehe*ie, Chief of Naval Operations, today in Washington j authorized Admiral R. H. Jack- i son, in charge of the search for j the missing- aviators, to u^e their own judgment as to how long the search should be conti med. From the local naval comnAini cations office came word that charts were being scrutinized closely. If a likely unexplored area m discov ered, the Navy may alter its ci der to terminate the search tomor •o\v night. SEARCH FUTILE. Meanwhile, destroyers and Naval planes searched the seas near the great circle shipping lane about 2,000 miles west of San Francisco for some trace of a wrecked plane 3i* life rafts containing the crews »f the missing racers Golden Eagle and Miss Doran, or of the volun teer rescue plane Dallas Spirit, which hopped off from Oakland, Calif., last Friday with Capt. Wil liam Erwin piloting- and A. H. Eiehvvaldjf in the navigator’s cabin.

SLIGHT HOPE. Several persons reported seeing the flare and it was hoped that, some of the missing fliers might aave lenst their way and been forc ?d to land on the rocky slopes 'of the peak. The plane Miss Doran, carrying Miss Mildred Doran, the “Flying School Teacher,” of Flint, Mich.; John Aug-gy Pedlar and Lieut. Vil as R.

Strick land Are Pleased Over Ex periment With Two Acres, of Hell and Hot Pepper Boll weevil is worj/ng such rav ages in Johnston^ county cotton Helds this year/that success with ither money^rrops demonstrates anew the cwtmon sense of not de pending en/irely upon cotton as a source oJVrekdy cash. Johnston county ^oil is adapted to almost any kind of crop, and trucking is proving profitable to some of our fainter*. Raising vegetables for foreign markets has not been done : to any great extent, but, while the j vegetables are not quite so cany j as farther east and south, this j phase of farming ig worth while, j This fact has been proved by j J. N. Cobb and T. G. Strickland t who on a farm about four and a * half miles west of town are putting j pep into pepper farming. In the | spring, after' sprouting seed in a hotbed, they planted one acre each in bell and hot pepper, and the j yield is already proving a* profit- 1 able as if the land had been plant- 1 ed in cotton. They began shipping bell pepper about the fifteenth of ; July, and have already sold 1G5 j bushels and have about seventy- i five bushels more to harvest. With r the exception of one lot, which was j taken to Faison, the pepper has j been shipped directly to Baltimoie, • Philadelphia and Boston. The acre las already netted over sixty dol lars. The acre of hot pepper has i been sold to a sausage dealer to be delivered after it has turned i red. been gathered and become dry. / A yield of around GOO pounds is! expected, which at forty cents per pound, will net something overt 5200. The pepper is planted on good cotton land, and the acreage around it will probably produce a bale of cotton to the acie this year. About :he same amount of fertilizer was , ased on both the cotton and pep- ; per land. The cultivation of the pepper, however, requires muc/i j less labor than cotton, and the I early marketing-, #>efore either cofc :on or tobacco is ready to sell, is j in advantage not to be overlook- j ?d. The boll weevil this year may ! be the means of inducing more • Johnston county farmers to try , )ut truck crops. I WOULDN’T GIVE BOM). SO HE BROKE OUT OF JAIL WILLIAMSTON, Aug. 24.—The j first delivery from the new Martin county jail came early Tuesday | morning when Grover Pauley gain ed his freedom after picking two of the locks. Officers think Pauley started i planning his escape last week when j le asked one of the jail helpers to allow him to see the jail keys. It1 is thought he secured a pattern jf two of the jail keys by pressing them in a bar of soap, later mak- j ing two keys from spoon handles. ] According to Simon Shepperd, a ! colored prisoner, Pauley tested his keys late Monday afternoon1 and found that they worked per- j fectly. Pauley was evidently in no ; hurry, for he prepared a short note for Sheriff Roebuck as fol- 1 ‘To Sheriff Roebuck: “I will come to Washington for ' trial so you need not worry I am J sorry to go away like this but I couldn’t get bond. “GROVER PAULEY, | “Selma, N.

Tobacco Season On The Border Bright fen Selling Days Show a Total of 1 Almost 10,000.000 Pounds Sold j At Average of $20. Wilmington, Aug. 21.—-With learly 1,000.000 pounds of tobacco i ■>eing sold daily on the seven bor-i mr county markets prospects for' i record breaking season in the ; Pee Dee belt are exceptionally; ?ood. Only 10 actual selling days' lave passed and figures show near i 0,000,000 pounds sold for an aver age of above $20 per hundred and with at least 50 more selling days he advanced figure for the season n the belt runs to more than 50, ;00,000 pounds which is practically Jouble that of last season, when 25,002,804 pounds were sold at an average of $26.11. At. the close of the second week statistics show that fully G5 per ^ent of the weed offered on the 20 xid warehouse floors of the belt were “primings/ or first leaves with 30 per cent of the second 'lopping and five per cent of the -bird and fourth. This shows that he markets have just started on no greatest season ever experi enced as usually the latter part of he second week finds a very large percentage of the primings al ready sold. Whiteville, in Columbus county, is featuring this week pure gold for the golden weed, each bank in Whiteville havirjg ian|an*gc|J> for payment of tobacco checks to be made in gold coins. Already this market has sold more than two million pounds since the opening August 9 and like the other mar kets have added floor space and increased their facilties for hand ling the greatest tonnage in the history of the market. Spirited rivalry exists between Whiteville, Lumberton and Fair mount, the three leading markets in sales, while Clarkton, T|abor, Fairblirff and Chadbourne are showing remarkable growth over the 1926 season. Job was a patient man, but there is no record of his ever having* put a tooth-cutting baby to sleep.

Sampson, “health speaker,” "!ho has recently appeared before several civic clubs in North Car olina, was scheduled to speak at the local Kiwanis club yesterday. He failed, however, to show up, and some Kiwanian made the re mark that "Sampson was prob ably not so strong as he once was,” : referring to the fact that he has been branded by Dr. G. M.
