Local Auctioneers Rated Among The Best In the World Saunders, Highfield, Harney Much In Demand Over Tobacco Belts : - 5 ? Following is a letter from R. W M< Farland. supervisor of sales on the loc%l tobacco market, offering some timely comment on William st?*n*s able tobacco auctioneers: A larmer from a distance who sold tobacco in Williamston last Friday asked me why I had nothing in my little pieces about the Wil n.miston tobacco auctioneers, for, .said this gentleman, "During my life time of selling tobacco upon some of the biggest and some of the smallest markets in this state, 1 have never heard better auctioneers than those duw selling in Williamston.' The gentleman, in my opinion, quite right Will you permit V' Mr, Editor, just to say a few as to the personnel of our .three fine auctioneers. Grover Har rey. Charlie Highfield and Ben | Saunders? Ben Saunders who sells at the | New Farmers is a native of North Carolina, and his life work has been .celling tobacco at auction'. A few I years ago he sold for the New Far mers in Williamston and so well pleased were Messrs Barnhill and Ingram with his work that they fortunately, before he had contract ed elsewhere this season, secured his services. 'Ben' is a splendid 'bid taker', possesses a pleasing voice and has a charm of manner that fits him like a garment. Grover Harney who sells at the Roanoke-Dixie of which Messrs. Claude Griffin and Jule James are proprietors, with Carlyle Langley as assistant sales manager, is a Ken tuckian by birth, but he has sold so much tobacco in the last few years in the Tar Heel State, especially in the New Bright Leaf Belt, that he might be classified as a North Car olinian. Grover, posseses almost the eye of an eagle in 'catching bids'. He has a melodious voice, very pleasing to the ear. and sells to bacco with so much ease that when the occasion arises there seems scarcely any limit to the number of baskets that he can sell hourly. On and off sales Grover wears what the writer terms, 'a million dollar smile.' "Charlie Highfield who sells at the Planters Warehouse of which Holt Evans and Geo. Fox worth are proprietors, with Charlie Phaup as assistant sales manager, has soli tobacco for years in Eastern North Carolina, notably at Greenville, Rocky Mount and one of our neigh boring markets, and always made good. His friends are legion in this section and he is called by them, 'the silver-tongued speed demon.' "Many markets bid this season lor the services of all three of these auctioneers, but the Williams ton warehousemen, ever on the alert for the best, closed contracts with each of them at the proper time. To the personal knowledge of the writer-, one of them had a most flattering offer last week from one of the ma jur markets, but he could not be 'tolled' away from Williamston after his services here had been contract ed. I understand that offers recent ly came in from the major markets to the other two gentlemen and were turned down. So, therefore, WANTSi HIGHLY TESTED AT NO EXTRA cost.

"Chick" Manning at the Central Oai vice Station It Age Requirements For Beginners Pointed Out In accordance with a recent rul ing of the State School Commission, all children entering school for the first time must be six years or older on or before October 1, county school authorities pointed out today The ruling will probably keep a round 25 or 30 children in this coun ty out of school this term, it was estimated. Last term any child be coming six years of age on January 1 was eligible to begin school, but crowded conditions resulted in many schools and the age date was or dered changed. Little Crime Wave Blows Over the County Recently A little crime wave centered over Martin County last week-end, the sheriffs office reporting 13 arrests during Saturday and Sunday to run the jail population up to 20 persons, 8'white and 12 colored. Drunken ness led the number listed, house breaking and larceny acocunting for 4 arrests And then there were as saults, affrays, and one or two drunk en driving cases. Armed with a butcher knife, one of the defend ants was said to have chased his wife around and around in a corn field, but did her no bodily harm New School Buildings Are Conditionally Accepted Making a second inspection tour last Friday, Martin County school authorities conditionally accepted the five new school buildings and additions from the contractors. The buildings, costing approximately $100,000. will be used this week for the first time. The building program includes a new high school building at James ville, an addition to the Farm Life plant, primary units at Williamston and Oak City and an eight-room col ored building at Robersonville. the tobacco market of Williamston is to be congratulated not only upon having the best auctioneers in this belt, but men of high honor and in tegrity whose words are their bonds.
