ANOTHER BEAR KILLED
IN GRIFFINS TOWNSHIP
Wednesday about noon news fLus&£
ed over the wires from home to home
that a bear was killing a hog back
of the fields of Mr. Eddie Manning.
A hunt was planned immediately.
Those who were to take part in the
, driv'ewere to be at the home of Mr.
Manning at one o'clock with dogs.
One would hardly believe so man>
dogs could be assembled within, a
radius of a few miles. There ware old
A veterans, among them Zeb Hunter,
Towser and Rock and others that
knew what the business was, while
some of tHe younger ones thought that
such an assembly was for (he purpose
of making an acquaintance, or enemies
A short time after the hour aji*
pointed we started in the wtods.
Some dogs were so overjoyed thai
they could hardly be (induced to 1 eep
quiet. A short distance from tho fiels.
in the edge of the thicket, old Hunter
opened up with all sorts of yells. In
an instant all the dogs were in hot
pursuit, barking at the tops oi'ttiejr
voices. One who has never heard an
av.embly of thirty dogs, all ban.ing
t.imi'itaneously, cannot imagine v.liat
frightful noise it can make.
Mr. Bruin was taken so con.jdt rely
b> surprise that he did not knew ju->t
where to move, but he did know that
it was best to be moving, and that
immediately.
Bang! the report of a gun was
heard, but the dogs kept on. Some
one hud missed. In a few minutes an
other report and folowed by three
others, the dogs ceased to bark ex
cept for an occasional one and one
of exultation. Somebody sounded
a horn and we rushed in the direc
tion from whence the sound had come.
There the bear lay dead. The aims
of Messrs. Manning and Peel and
others hail not failed tlieir mailt.
Bruin had paid for his crime. In
twenty minutes from the time wc
started tho bear lay dead at our feet.

FORD RETAIL SALES
MAKE NEW RECORD
Company Reports Total Sules Have
. , Reached 5.70S ma
chines a Bay
Retail sales of Ford cars, tr..cks
and tractors established a new high
record during June, when, according
to a statement i. sued from the Ford
Factory at Dertoit, an average of
6,709 machines were sold daily.
Ford sales have been showing a
constant increase each month " this
year; June being the highest in the
history of the Company with a total
of 14*,430 cars, trucks and tractors.
Of this number, 6,504 were sold by tin
Ford Company of Canada and !>,!>%_
by the various Euopean frord Comp
anies and South American Branches,
reaching purchasers ip practically
every civilized country in the world.
With the closing of business for
June, Ford records disclosed the fuel
that total sales for the first six
months of 192 i! w re well over the
haff-mi'lton mark, the exact ti; uu
being 662,261. This is also a new high
record as it is considerably in ad\l'.nee
of any previous year period.
July—Foal sai.-a are expected to
equal, and probably eclipse June. The
estimated output of cars, trucks and
tractors has been placed at 161,767,
alt ho dealers have requisitioned more
than 200,000, .
Ford officials state that every at
tempt lias been made to supply their
dealers with sufficient cari to fill
their orders, hut that for the past
three months, prompt deliveries have
been impossible with some of the
-types. The demand for Ford enclosed
m cars has been especially hard to meet,
"due to the ever-increasing popularity
of the Coupe and Sedan for all jtear
iiround use.
A rV'ection of general business
conditions is seen in the record of
Jford truck sales, which show an in
crease of eighty-four per cent over
last year. Merchants and farmers a
like to recognize the utili
ty &q motor truck in cutting trans
port! ion costs and speeding up de
liveries, and the fact that tlffcy are
buying nearly twice as many now w
a year ago clearly points to bettei
business conditions.
At the present time Ford is em
ploying 76,000 men in Detroit
P
For a long time it has been recog
' nized that the great mass of people
wanted the Government to lease the
Muscle Shoals Power Plant to Henry
Ford, and to those that know the
"Powers that be," that is the New
York Money Trust and their fiscal
agents, via the Harding Administra
tion, it ha sbeen quite clear that Ford
* would »»t get it.
A clipping from the Carolina Ban
ner, Sanford, which we are carrying,

FORD NOW BUILDS HIS
WINDSHIELD GLAS
According to Mr. B. R. Burnhili,
Ford Distributor, the Ford Motor Co.
has begun to manufacture its own
plate glass and already has in oper
ation the first modern glasa house
ever equipped especially to make glass
for automobiles. -— (
As is customary when taking over
the manufacture of a new product,
Ford has applied his own principles
of production, ami as a consequence
the methods and machinery used in
making Ford glass are a radical de
parture from established practice.
The Ford continuous conveyor system
features the operations so that' from
the time the glass leaves the furnace
until it becomes a polished windshield,
it is always moving.
Glass making when viewed in the
Ford plant, says Mr. Barnhill, looks to
be very simple. The raw materials
are introduced into the furnace where
they become a molten mass. Drawn
from the furnace in a semi-liquid
state, the glass passes under a rollei
which gives it width and thickness,
and on to. a moving conveyor. Thb
carries it for 404 feet through a grad
ually cooling furnace. At the end; it
is cut ami placed on another,, conveyor
which carries it through the grind
ing and polishing, after which it is
ready for use.
This adds a new link to the fast
growing chain of Ford industries
which are being established and ex
panded from time to time in line
with the Ford policy to achieve coni
plete independence of outside mate
rial sources, and at th esanie time are
the means by which Ford ia enabled
to use in the production of motor e •
trucks, and tractors muterial of un
usually hig hquality and sell them at
the Famous Ford prices.^

BARREL OF MOLASSES
/ STOLEN FROM STORE
Sheriff Roberson was telephoned
early Thursday morning by Mr. Biggs,,
manager of McGowans Country store
and asked him to hurry out there us
some one had come there during the
the night with u inule and" can and
made away with a barrel of. mo-
and M?. Mr'* \v,m
i >erf*"ftnmediately and due to the fact
that there had been no traveling since
the robbery they were able to trace
the tracks of the mule and cart. When
they passed by the horn? of Mr. I.aw'-
rence Taylor the sheriff remarked
that a cart had turned in ,he gate
there, but it was cointhg from the op
posite direction.- They watched the
same track and found w'haco it I&L'a;
to some thick woods nea • Bear Grass.
Just a little ways in they found the
barrel of molasses where it had been
dumped, ready for further use.
THey turned buck and went to the
home of Mr. Taylor and fount) lib
son, Sylvester and brought !ii«i tc
town where he was placed in jail to
await trial.
Young Taylor denied the wltole af
fair at first, but before reaching town
he confessed that he was implicated,
but would not give any other names.
It is evident that he did not do the
work alone as the bal iel was so heavy
that it required three men to lift it
in th ecart to bring it back. It is very
probable that young Taylor with his
accomplices took his father's mule
and cart during the night ns Mr.
Taylor know nothing of the affair.

CAR THIEF IS CAUGHT
BY NORFOLK POLK
On Friday night, July 21, a Ford
car belonging to Mr. ttrarry Waldo
was stolen from his home in Hamilton
Mr. Waldo traced his car to Weldon
but there he lost its track. He noti
fied the Norfolk police authorities of
Norfolk and those of other Virginia
cities. The police department of Nor
folk shadowed a suspicious character
who answered the description, and
when he went to a shop where second
hand cars were bought and sold he
was nabbed. He offered to sell the
car for $260.00 and was offered $1 SO.
While they were discussing the (lea!
the negro was arrested. He was im
mediately placed in the city jail. Mr.
Waldo was notified and when he went
down he had no trouble identifying
the car. The negro was then shown
to him and he proved to lie Leio.
Barnhill, a negro reared in Hamilton
and who*lived there until he was run
away a few weeks ago for some mis
deed.
Mr. Waldo wired Sheriff Roherson
who immeHliately sent deputy, Luther
Peel, to Norfolk. Mr. Peel and Mi
Waldo drove the car home bringing
the thief with them. They drove a
cross tho big Roanoke River Bridge..
Barnhill has the distinction of be
ing the fiist prisoner to be h:iul
across the new bridge. He will be held
until September trial when
face trial.
TIIE OUTLOOK FOR CROPS
IN NORTH CAROLINA
Corn over the nation is above the
average at 86 per cent of normal. The
acreage remains tho same and the
price average's 62 cents por bushel.
The state's crop is much below tho
average at 79 per cent of a full crop
condition. A slight increase is shown
in the the price averages
89 cents. /The condition is three per
cent less than a year ago.
TOBACCO
Tho tobacco crop of the nation,
shows a 23 per cent increase in acre
age, wh;>reas in North Carolina, the
increase is reckoned at ten per cent
in acreage, and the condition at only
69 per cent. The new belt, meaning
the costal plain counties, have entire
ly too much rain for this crop, re
sulting in a poor outlook, which shows
its worse condition in Green, Pitt,
tfhd Craven, where the condition ip
less than 60 per cent. The couhtics to
the north of these show very poor
conditions too.
Martin county's acreage is 114 per
cent and condition 66 per cent normal
and the county cotton acreage is put
at 114 per cent and condition 74 per
cent normal, while the peanut acreage
is cut 10 por cent and the crop condi
tion is shown to be 78 per cent nor
mal.
COTTON
Last year, the crop reporters re
ported too much decrease In the acre
age, and this year they showed the
same bias in too small an increase.
The cotton belt shown a ten per cent
increase in acreage with a condition
of 71 per cent of a full, or normal
condition. The forecast, according te
these figures indicates 11,066.000
bales. This includes 8,176,000 acres in
rrnaag.'
The state crop shows a thirteen per
cent increase in-acreage and 76 per
cent in condition. The June 25 th
prospect was 9 per cent better than a
year ago, and about equal to the ten
.year''average. There was an eight per
cent decrease in the condition dhrim
the past month, although for the
belt, there was a slight improvement.
POTATOES
The Irish potato crop is much better
than a year ago. The acreage is slight
ly increased in North Carolina, result
ing in more than 20 per cent increase
in the car-lot shipments in the east
em counties. The mountain counties
also show some increase for the fall
crop.

N*w York. —With the country'* two
major labor disputes attll contribut
ing their elements of uncertainty,
bualuess and financial newa during
the last week suggest that the trend
toward Improvement Is uninterrupted.
Railroad car loadiugs tor the last
we*k In Juno wer* illgUtly smaller
than In the one previous, which set
a new high record fer the year. The
lo*e Is accounted for by smaller coal
shipments, the movements ot mer
chandise showing a further gain.
Indications that a better demand
for steel products Is being maintained
were oonflfmed by the June 30 total
of unfilled order* of the United States
Steel corporation. As of the first cur
rent mouth the corporation's hooks
ehow 8.855.000 tons of unfinished busi
ness, this figure being 811,000 lons
larger than on May 80 and 1,494,000
tost above that of February 38, when
the low point of the recent depression
was made.
It Is estimated, furthermore, that
the June 30 figure moans thst new
business during June amounted to
more than 1,400,000 tons, which Is
a volume exceeding the corpora
tion's monthly production oapaclty.
At present the steel output Is experi
menting a mild check on account ot
the railroad strike, the steel corpor
ation's rate of operations having been
reduoed from 77 per cent to 76 per
oent. Meanwhile th* trade has de
velopad a certain amoua* of anilety
over a possible ear shortage this fall,
pointing out that the Increase In new
business which would accompany the
termination 9t the Htrlks would coin
cide with the active period of crop
movement.
Coal production for the weeli end
ing JulyH shows a marked decrease.
The falling off hardly reflects the
general trend of things, however, op
aside from the opal strike, the output
was affeuted by the July 4th holiday.
The loss of approximately 1,500,000
tons from the low production of re
eent weeks, nevertheless served to
Sitanalfy the drain on existing stocks.
ulok settlement of the strike still
■aems unlikely, hpth operators and
miners showing U Me disposition to
agree to a tempor&ry resumption ef
mining at the old wake scale.
Or op prospects are practically un
changed. The department of agricul
ture's grain estimate as of July 1 In
dicate* a fair ylefd Tho winter wheat
crop Is plscsd at 6A9.000.000 bushels,
or 18,000,000 buehajs below last year's
crop, but the spring wheat outlook
Is enough better to bring the total of
both crops up to 817,000,000 bushels.
This total Is 11,000,000 bvehejs more
than last year's; It Is smaller than In
four of the last eight years and largrfr
than In the other four. A fair crop
of corn Is also in iftotpect. With the
prices little changed, the present
grain crop promises to be sufficiently
good to insure the eostlmation of a
revival In general business.
