WARNS AGAINST BIGCOTTONCROP • See Danger of Price Going to 10 Cents or Less, Under Certain Conditions The Federal Farm Board, in an emphatic ap|*-al this week, says re member 1926 and warns against the * cuniing season. What the Federal Farm Board can do in 1930 for the Cotton Growers of the South will de pend upon what the cotton farmers do in cutting the acreage at least 6,- 000,000 acres. It the same acreage is planted to cot ton in 1930 as in 1929, and weather conditions are favorable, the South may produce 17,000,000 bales, - or, perhaps 22,000,000 bales if the acre yield be as high at in 1914. Such a large crop would probably bring growers 10 cents a pound or less. Think it over and use your influence to bring about a reduction of at leas>t 15 per cent in {he cotton acreage, the Farm Boar A urges "l>et's see that Farmer} of the South in 1930 live at home." Ten Cases on Recorder's Court Docket Here Today ■ • Ten cases had been placed on the docket late yesterday for trial in the recorder's court here today, th; num ber being unusually small considering the fact that there was no session of the court held last Tuesday when Judge Bailey was called away on busi ness.

THE ENTERPRISE THREE FORMS OF TOBACCO CO-OPS ARE SUGGESTED Growers Are Asked to Write Dean Schaub As To Type Preferred QUICK ACTION URGED • Asks That Growers Willing to Sign Sensible Contract Write Before March Ist An appeal to tobacco farmers of this and other counties cultivating to bacco was made this week by Dean I. O. Schaub, of State College, a mem ber oi the organization committee, ask ing those growers who want an as sociation to handle the crop this year to write him at once telling him of their wishes and giving the number of acr«;s they represent or will plant. This action comes folowing the sug gestion made by Mr. J. G. of this place, and other members of the committee meeting of the organi zing group at Raleigh a few days ago. ! "When the organization committee jof IS met at State College on February | 11, it declined to adopt any one type 'of contract without a full knowledge of how it would be supported by the growers or whether it would meet the needs of the people of this State. Three different forms were suggested. The first called for a centralization type of organization such as has been adopted in South Carolina; the second, a decentralized type of organization such as has been adoped in South Carolina; the sectfhd, a decentralized or ft derated type such as is used by the California Fruit Growers, att4 the third was a compromise between the two. With the help of Dean Schaub and Dr. J. G. Knapp, agriculturalist eco nomist at State College, sub-com mittee will take these three forms un der advisement and will report back to the main committee within 30 days. In the meantime, the advice of the Federal Farm Board and of the attorney-gen eral of North Carolina will be solicit ed.' "Obviously, it will take some time to formulate these three contracts," ssiys Dean Schaub. "If an organization is to be forhied in time to handl* the 1930 crop, it is necessary for the com mittee to get a clear idea as to the sentiment among tobacco growers. "At the suggestion of J. G. Staton, of Williamston, and otlier members of the committee, I am asking all grow ers who would be willing to sign a sane and sensible contract tif express their willingness by writing cither a letter or card fo me at Raleigh by March 1 or by March 10, at the least. In these communications, I would like to know how many acres of tobacco the writer plants or represents." Dean Schaub said thai the response to this request will probably determine whether it is advisable for the com mittee to begin at once an intensive Campaign for signing up the drop of 1930. If th#re is not a distinct senti ment in favor of immediate action, the committee will then give more time and consideration to studying the kind of contract that will best suit condi tions as they have been revealed to the committee by growers with whom it has ben in contact it was stated. Disorderly Conduct Lands Two White Men In Jail John Page and Bunting, tjv.o white men of Robersonville township, were arrested ana placed in jail here late last Sunday afternoon when they got drunk and created a disturbance on a public road, near Robersonville. Willi a five-gallon demijohn filled with home brew, cider, plain old beer, or some othej spirits that officers have been unable to analyze, the two men were brought in by Mr. Joe YVinslow. In a cell together, Page and Bunting are said to have started an argument 1 among themselves, one declaring that Sheriff Roebuck was a bad officer for locking them up, the other maintain ing that the sheriff was right "Yes, you don't appreciate anything one does for you," Page said to his intoxicated friend. "Sheriff Roebuck locked us up to kep us out of trouble, don't you understand?" Page continued, but Bunting insisted otherwise. The two are scheduled to appear be- fore Judge Bailey in the recorder's court here today. "Parmele" Hard ior Radio I Announcer To Pronounce In announcing the special radio re quest of Mrs. H. R. Speight, Parmele, yesterday, the announcer at WPTF, Raleigh broadcasting station, asked for sympathy when he started to pro nounce the name of the town. He ap plied the accents, causing one to be-j lieve that the town's name ia spelled Parmailer. The pronunciation did very well .at that, but apparently leads one to believe that he has never traveled over the Coaat Line in thia part of the State. Once, Parmele, was visited more | than any other town in the section, and. many houra and days4iave been spent there by travelers waiting for trains. Williamston.

MORE TROUBLE AT MARION MILL Home of Mill President, R. Baldwin, Dynamited by Unknown Parties - / I Trouble broke out anew in Marion, '»!«*- scene of recent mill strikes, last Saturday night when the home of R. \V. Baldwin, president of the Marion mill was dynamited by unknown par ties. The damage was estimated at i SI,OOO. No one was injured as the family was in Baltimore at the time. . A press report says, "The immediate prospects of hundreds of jobless men, women and children —the union fig-, ures it a thousand—being deprived of the free food supplied them since last August ha* caused a new black cloud to gather in the Marion sky. I The dynamiitng of Mill President I R. \V. Baldwin's home Saturday night 1 —the first flash of the impending storm—has not been followed by ! furthre disorder but there are many in Maricui who fear, that it was the of another reign of terror. The feeling, however, is not the tense, electrical suspense that preceded the riots and fatal gun battles last fall but i.-: rather a heavy, dull gloom that hangs over the community like a fog. Others think tl»t the disorders of the mill village have run thier course and that when the free food supply is stop ped March 1, the strikers will disperse and there will be no further trouble.. • Beaten in all their strikes, six of their number killed when they substituted violence for peaceful picketing, the spirit of the unionists may have been bioken, as many believe. But danger ii seen in the fact that the majority of the ex-strikers who left Marion to find other work were qf the union's better element while atftoug those who remain are to be found almost all of the trouble makers. "Mr. Baldwin arrived in Marion yes terday morning and upon seeing news paper men get off the same train he exploded: 'Blowing up the house does n't matter but there's no damn use in you fellows coming up here and tak ing pictures. Everything is quiet now p.n4 it's no use in you fellows stirring it all up again.' "Asked if he considered the dyna miting of his home a quiet aft, Mr. Balwin recovered his temper and his grin but dcelined to answer. " 'The explosion was a great sur prise to me as to others in the com munity,' declared John Peel, vice presi dent of the StAte Federation of Labor." County Commissioners In Special Meet Saturday ♦ The Board of Martin County Com missioners met in special session here last Saturday oijjy two issues-coming before the body. The handling of re newal notes was dispatched and a special to ho I election was ordered for tkar Grass School District at the re quest of 84 citizens there.
