FOIL ATTEMPT TO
ROB WAREHOUSE
Two Men Get Away When
They Tried To Pass
Forged Bills
Two negro men failed in their at
tempt to fleece a local warehouse out
of $196.73 last Friday Making out
their own bills, the two men present
jed them at the Roanoke-Dixie office
for payment. N. K. Harrison, head
Office man, suspected the handwriting
was not that of warehouse employees,
but before he could make an invciti:.
gation the two men slipped out of the
warehouse. He called for assistance,
but in the commotion no one heard
him in time to trap the two men.
Mr. Harrison stated he started to
make out the checks and hand them
over, but he would not take the
chance.
One hill carried the name of Kay
Smith and the other carried that of
Henry Grady. Apparently the two
bills were made out by the same per
son, as they resembled each .other
verjf closely. Mr. Harrison believes
there were others in the plot and that j
several other forged bills would have
been presented had the first Iwo gone
through all right.
The attempted robbery here was
similar to ones reported in New Bern
and Robersonville several days ago.

New Oil Will Be Popular
For Home Consumption
Says Mr. Obici
* Amedeo Obici, the Italian peanut
vendor who has become the "hijf shot"
of the peanut industry, and whose
company, the Planters Nut & Choco
late Company, dominates the peanut
market and to a large extent set?" the
prices that ipeanut farmers in tjifs
county receive for their product, has
just returned from a trip back home
to his native Italy with a new idea
for the use of peanuts, that of sub
stituting peanut oil for the uses now
held almost entirely by olive oil.
Last week when the "I'eanut King"
was interviewed by ship reporters as
he landed in New York City, he de
clared that he-had/boWht the machin
ery , for putting /his iilea into effect
while he was in Italy, had studied
methods of refining it, and* that the
new machinery would be installed in
the Planters' plant at Suffolk as soon
as it arrive. Obici has been traveling
in Europe since July, enjoying a vaca
tion in France and Italy. He became
interested in the use of peanut oil in
the place of olive, oil white' on the
tour.
The oil mill will be located in Suf
folk. Production is to start inimedU
ately, giving employment to approxi
mately 100 men. If the new use for pea
nuts is successful, it will give a new I
market for the best grade of nuts; I
for only the highest grade of peanut-,
will be used, he says, (hereby produc
ing an oil that will compare favorably
with olive oil. And there is little
doubt about the success, of the new
idea. Obici is the kind of fellow who
takes care _ that what he undertakes
is successful. From his bumble be-1
ginning as an immigrant peddler of
roastefl peanuts, he has attained the 1
present .position he holds: that of
"Czar" of the whole peanut industry;
possessor of an immense fortune; and
head of his big concern, whose prod
uct and trade mark are known all over
the Country, controlling to a great ex
tent both the price to the consumer
and the price paid the producer. Hi-,
control of the peanut world is as firm,
strong, and absolute as that exerted
by his fellow Countrymen over the 1
"rackets" in some of our greater
cities. He is the "big shot" in the
peanut racket.
But he studies his business and now
he declares that he knows "his oil,"
so far as it is related to peanut oil
as & product that will serve the same
ust as olive oil.
"Though little is known of peanut
oil in this country," Mr. Obici is quot
ed as saying, "it lias been esteemed
and used for 40 years in France and
Italy, where they have developed spec
ial machinery for processing it.
It has air the characteristics of olive
oil, and is much used in cooking, sea
soning, and packing such goods as
sardines. The peanut flavor is not
transmitted to the oil. In fact, pea
nut oil has one advantage over olive
oil in that fish, lamb chops, and veg
etables may be cooked in the same oil
and their flavor will not' be trans-,
milted."
Studies Refining Process
Mr Obici studied the refining proc
ess while abroad and comes back with
knowledge of the pperation qf the ma-j
chinery he purchased, the New York
interview contained the statement that i
part o( the machinery is already in
Suffolk and the remainder in transit, j
At New York Mr. Obici said that (
"production will start immediately and
will put back to work 50 to 100 men
who have been previously laid off." |
Peanut oil has been manufactured
and used in this country, but generally
was made from inferior grade nuts
"It is our intention to msnufacture
the oil from the best nuts, blanching
them first,!' Mr. Obici explained. "The
residue is formed into cakes and some
progress has been made in selling
them to bakeries for nut breads and
such. The cakes are also fed to cat
tle. With the installation of this new
machinery, our company will become
the largest producers of peanut oil in
the world."
TOBACCO STOLEN
FRIDAY IS FOUND
FOLLOWING DAY
Small Quantity Martin To
bacco Carried To Lower
End Beaufort County
A small quantity of tobacco stolen
last Friday night from Mr, Herbert
Cullipher, near here, on the Everetts
road, was recovered at the home of W.
R. Respass, white man, in the Pan
tego section of Beaufort County Sat
urday afternoon. Respass is said to
have admitted the theft, and will be
brought here lor trial.
Working as a sewing machine repair
man, Respass visited the Cullipher
packhouse last week and made pre
liminary plans for the theft at that
time. As he was loading the approxi
mately 150 pounds of tobacco, Sam,
Williams, colored man living near by,
heard him and reported to Mr. Cul
lipher. Before Mr. Cullipher could
reach the barn, the thief drove away
in an old Model T Ford coupe. Call
ing a neighbor, Mr. Cullipher trailed
the old car and found it uut on the
Washington road. They tailed in their
attempt to stop the car, but they did
get the state license numbers and a
good description of the machine.
Sheriff C. B. Roebuck called Ra
leigh the following morning and
learned the identity of the owner of
the car, and immediately went to the
Pantego section and found the tobac
co. Unable to serve a warrant out
side the county, Sheriff Roebuck left
Mr. Cullipher with the tobacco and
started to Washington to get Beau
fort officers. A (delay followed, and
in the meantime Kespass left, telling
Mr. CulliphtyrMhaf he was going to
the home of a neighbor to get some
one to stand his bond. An arrest had
not been effected yesterday, but offi
cers continued in search for the man,
| and it is believed he will be taken
I shortly.

While reports coining, from the sev
