Farmer in Goose Nest Lost
650 Pounds Weed From
Pack House
-v
Tobacco stealing in these parts has
reached that point where it is a com
mon thing for a farmer to go to his
pack house and And a thousand or
more pounds of tobacco missing. Last
week, thieves entered the pack house,
of Mr. James R. Perry in Goose Nest
township and carried away a barn
of the weeJ which was, already grad
ed and ready for the market. For
several days, Mr. Perry was unable to
find any trace of it until he found
his sticks in a warehouse here where
they had been left by a man who
had brought the tobacco here and
sold it last Friday.
There were around 660 pounds in the
lot and was of average quality, valued
around $l5O.

Large breaks of tobacco were on
the local warehouse floors yesterday
and today. Another large break is ex
pected tomorrow, the day the market

HOLD HEARING
ON WATERWAYS
IMPROVEMENTS

Present Arguments and
Data at Session
FINAL ACTION LATER
Information Gathered To Be Turned
Over to Congressional
mittee for Action ,
A hearing on the proposed improve
ment of Gardners crook and Devils
Gut, waterways near lu>re, was hold
here yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock
in the courtflbuse. Engineers of the
War Department accepted the data
and arguments offered by citizens
from Williamston anil
Williams township and Hertford.
Many questions were asked by the
engineers for the purpose of ascer
'taining facts about the waters of both
the creek and the gut as to depth,
width, length ami as well as to their
location in the community they are
proposed to serve, and as" to whether
they are now serving any commercial
purposes. The probable, use of the
two streams after they :\re improved
was discussed.
The Nfajo r Loomis Lumber com
pany, Attorney ('has.
Whedby, asked t'hat the mouth of the
gut be overhanging trees
cut, and logs and trees now forming
obstructions T>e removed. While the
lumber company is interested only in a
personal way in a few miles of the
lower part of the put, its representa
tive suggested the extension of the
improvement through to the upper
mouth and use it for boat line traf
fic instead of using the rivef. Hy so
doing, it was stated, the distance
would be shortened on the river route
seven miles and the current in - the
gut would be slower than that in the
river.
This suggestion did not seem to
appeal to those interested in general
commerce on the Koanoke and who
'know that to make the necessary im
provements and make the gut equal
to the river as a commercial chan
nel would cost a million dollars or
more. ~ _ if
The meeting resulted in gathering
much'data on the queston of the need
to imprdVe the streams in question.
The information will go to the proper
department for recommendations to
the Rivers ami Harbors Committee of
Congress where final action will re
sult.
