One of the buck windows of ;he stole had beeni opened from the inside by a party who hud evidently secreted himself in die 2i„oie before it was closed Wednesday t.ternoon, and after tfiings got quit' on the outside he proceeded to fit him .-ell out with numerous articles. The i largest single line of goods missed .-eemed to be about one ddieti dress shirts, while many other things had l>.en taken with them. It was impos sible to give much estimate of the loss. Bloodhounds were procured and put oii the trail. The dogs seemed to run a hot trail for a few hundred yards, to a hog lot, where they made a com plete lose of the trail, and it could ' not be picked up again. Numerous robberies hwve been com- j mitted in Everetts within the last few years, and the same tactics have been I followed in most cases. The robber ( would hide 1n the store and raid it ufter it was closed, making his escape bv opening a window from the inside.

Sewell Exquisite is the word which comes most prominently to' mind in attempt ing to describe "Monsieur Beaucaire," the Paramount production in which Rudolph Valentino returns to the screen, for. certainly no picture of greater beaqtyrirttetry,' magnificence o: pictorial appeal has ever reached the silver sheet. But, to forestall any idea that this represents the sum to tal of the appeal of this production, j.hide from Valentino's presence, we hasten to say that, the story is fasci nating, finely directed, acted by an un. usually floe cast and holds the in teresttthroughoutt t and coupled with Valentino's tremendous popularity and the fact that he has a role that suits him well and will appeal strongly to hi« admirers, it loolu as if "Monsieur Beaucaire" is going to establish a lot of new box-office records. . Williamston, Martin County, North Carolina, Friday, July 17, 1925. Names of Men Who Determine Welfare of Town Appear on List li was with groltt surprise that we learned that the membership books oi •he Williamston Chamber of Com merce carried the opines of one hun dred and fifty business firms, business and professional men. When the list was handed us we counted the names carefully, observed each one, and then came to the conclusion that William s' on has the ma'erml to back any w.irthy undertaking and to put it a cioss In grand style. In looking over Tflr tfst, wr nottred not one but wh* would gladly do his part for the bet terment of Williamston. It might be that conditions are not favorable with all of them at this time, but when a •how-down comes all will he thine with the goods. It is upon those whose names aj> pear on the list that the fu'ure of our town rests. They will determine whether or not our town will reach 'hat point where no good exists, '.•■ here trade is carried on because it is convenient, or whether or not our town will reach that point where it rati boast of one of the best tobacco markets in the Sta'e ami it can justly Sdj that it ranks with the best when U comes to a real trading center. It is they who will attend the address next Thursday evening in order that they might learn what other people: are doing and what other sections of our State are thinking about. Head the list and back those who are striv ing to make conditions better in our The chamber of commerce is pre paring to stage an advertising catn "pnr?*Tr, m«v -thaU-wili, ad vfirtiat. ttur. tnarket and our town a.s a trading center. The narms of those who ap pear in the membership list are back ing H. They are backing it because we have warehousemen here who know how (o sell tobacco, know how to judge tobacco, know what it requires to raise tobacco. They are backing this campaign because our warehousemen this season state that they invite far tiers to sell their tobacco here not be cause they happen to be a friend but l'ecause they guarantee the highest t»rice possible. They offer fair treat ment, courteous service and a feeling that will make visitors to our town I feel welcomed. The members of the chamber of commerce are also back ing this campaign becaue there are excellent advantages to be had on this market, and when there are advan taged they should not be allowed to wander by. A modern steam redry inT plant, an adequate storage plant will effect in maintaining even prices for our market. Lastly, the members of the chamber of com merce are backing the Williamston market because it is one of our great est assets. It needs to be backed by mch an organization and the Wil liimstnn Charrfher of Commerce is set- ring out to do it. Read the following list through that you might see who is striving for our tiwn.

Joyner, former supenn-T vi'suU'ht of schools in North Carolina.) ,'c.romost leader in building up t his j £• u.c's public-school system and later! the leading figure in the movement of j tobacco fuj jiers to organize the or-; derlv marketing of their crops, thisj week tendered his resigna ion as an I »nip'.oyoe of the Tobacco Growers Co : tiv? Association, of which lie was I at" oua time presidcrt, of whose or-1 i;;.iiv,ation committee ho wa chairman •ui' 1 fu- 'he success of which lie has labored unceasingly for (Ik past four 1 j'tiirs, mucn of the time without pay. "Wi.h my resignation, 1 tender to vnv a d through you to the associa - ] ion. my services without compensa tion 'or aH the time that I can pos nhl spare from the supervision of! m\ l'afming interests. Cenimand mej the !f,iture as freely is hereto-] fore for any service that I can ren der anywhere," declared Dr. Joyner: ii, resigning"his post as an official of. the Tobacco Growers Cooperative As- I -nciution. which he was largely instru-l mental in founding. |. Explaining his reasons for wishing' I !'» serve the association without pav.i | Dr. Joyner sated in his letter of res ignation: "1 believe that 1 can render | more effective service by resigning, ;nd thereby fleeing my sell of the ac i ii-H 'on or suspicion of an> other mo tive, in., advocating couperaUyc mar i ke inn hut an honest da-ire to pro mote a cause which I sinorrely believe te he the only hope for 11|.■ prosperity nnil economic emancipatiflji of our far .lierv through organization for the pro tection of the prices of tleir products 'by orderly and intelligent marketing."! Mee ing the carping attacks of op ponents of cooperative marketing- who' have sought to ascribe his rece' t ef fort- lor cooperative marketing to mercenary motives, ihe veteran lead er fo the tobacco association in North Carolina has the following to say: "Opponents of cooperative market ing whose low ideals anil selfishness "prevent 'them from appreciating or tr«n ascribing to others any higher j ideals or motives than their own mer cenary ones, have carried on a cease less campaign to discredit me and f.'.Lei paid employees of the associa tion and to destroy our influence by impugning our motives and alleging that we were mere hirelings, paid ex orbitant salaries to talk and work fos the association. "As president of the N. C. Tobucco Growers Cooperative Association, and later as chairman of the organization committee, it was my pleasure and privilege to give without reward or 'lie hope of reward the largest part of my time and service for two years or more to the work of organizing the Tobacco Growers Cooperative Associa tion, refusing to accept therefor an offered salary. When asked, after the completion of the organization, to ac cept employment in the Tobacco Grow ers Cooperative Association for my i-'tire time at a salary, it was, as you and others with whom I talked know, a source of deep regret to me that on account of the very conditions -tlmt-1,-twi-a tc, aid my fellow farmer* to remedy | through cooperative marketing, I wan ttot financially able to continue to give my entire thne and service without compensation to the work." In a parting message to associates and fellow members of Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association, Dr. Joyner said: "In this fight for economic freedom and economic justice for our farmers we are now standing at the Marne. Arrayed against us are powerful forces, strongly entrenched, perfectly organized, powerfully financed, deter mined in their own interest to destroy Vs this year if they can. Farmers of the Carolinas and Virginia, if ye l>e men, join me in whatever voluntary .acrifice and serviee may be found necessary in this crisis to win the victory. I-et us recruit our ranks, in crease our deliveries, and, standing in unbroken columns with locked shields, swear "They shall not pass.'" M O. Wilson, secretary of the To bacco Growers Cooperative Associa tion, wlien asked this week about the resignation of Dr. Joyner, said "Dr. Joyner has been a crusader in the greatest farmers' movement of his generation and in retiring from actual i (.aily participation tn the fight for its progress and development, has fur ther tendered such ot his services as can be spared from his other duties. No man could have done more." Sec retary Wilson states that he had al-' rekdv arranged a schedule of work and engagements for Dr. Joyner which he was asking him to carry through the middle of August and is in hopes that he will consent to remain in his' position until September 1. af* - Deputy Marshal J. R. Manning of New Bern was in town yesterday. County Agent Urges Martin County Farmers to Attend Convention At State College Station Juiy 28 LO 30 I By T. B.
