lii Tobacco Average
Sales Pushing On
Toward the Seven
Million Hark Here
—»—
Prices Yesterday Were The
Second Highest of The
Season To Date
A marked upward trend in the
tobacco price average was noted
on the Williamston market yester
day when 308,800 pounds were
sold for $172,780, an average of
$55,95 per hundred pounds. The
price trailed by a very narrow
margin the peak reached on Mon
day of last week when 296,416
pounds were sold for an average
of $56.19 per hundred.
Again, it was reported that the
high average was traceable to an
upward trend in prices for a num
ber of grades and to improved
quality of the offerings.
The market today is pushing to
ward the seven million-pound
mark. A report from the, mar
ket at the close of sales yester
day showed that up until that
time the market had sold 6,635,974
pounds for $3,379,436, an average
right at $5100 per hundred
pounds.
The trend in average prices by
grades continued upward last
week for Eastern North Caro
lina flue-cflrcd tobacco. Volume
of offerings was heavy although
below last week as selling time
was cut 30 minutes daily. Quality
of the sales improved.
According to the Federal-State
Market News Service gross sales
for the week ending September
21 were 53,653,103 pounds for an
average of $52.94 This was the
highest weekly average of the
season, increasing $1 67 over the
previous week. Daily general av
erage:; through the week ranged
from a low of $52.13 to $54.45 paid
Monday for nearly 11 million
pounds. Season gross sales to
taled 226,799,973 pounds at an
average of $51.03 per hundred.
The markets have been op>-i ating
23 sales days. For the same time
last year gross sales amounted to
261,694,298 pounds averaging
$56.42
Increases in grade averages
were mostly $1 00 and $2 00 per
hundred as compared with last
week Better leaf grades, all
smoking leaf, cutters, lugs, prim
ings, and thin nondescript brought
the highest prices paid this year.
This is the third straight week
that most grades of better smok
ing tobacco moved at slightly
higher levels. Only a few grades
of heavier-bodied offerings show
ed small losses.
The proportion of fair to fine
leaf grades and cutters was larger
this week. The shift was mostly

Dallas Lee James
Gels Free Pass In
Peel Murder Case
Witness Freed After A Stay
Of Several Days In
County Jail
■ • «•'—
Proceedings in the first of the
two-week term of Martin County
Superior Court climaxed last
Thursday afternoon at 4:00 o'clock
when Judge Henry Stevens ruled
that the killing of Grover Peel,
31-year-old colored man, was jus
tifiable homicide and the defen
dant, Dallas Lee James, Jr., 17,
walked out of the courtroom a
free man. The action came so
suddenly that it almost took the
breath out of the private prosecu
tion and the defendant hardly
realized what had happened until
a few minutes later.
The case was the last in a se
ries of three murder actions called
during the curent term of the
court. In one, James Henry
(Slick) Williams was sentenced
to prison for thirty years when
he pleaded guilty of stabbing his
wife to death in Williamston on
August 26 less than eighteen
hours after he was released from
a road camp where he had served
a term for cutting his wife and
her mother. In another case, He
Roy Bonner was sentenced to pri
son for from eighteen to twenty
years for the baseball bat slaying
of Osborne Williams in Everetts
on August 10.
J&mes entered a plea of nolo
contendrc and the State rested af
ter offering the evidence of only
three witnesses. Leanion James,
the witness who blew his breath
heavily charged with alcohol m
Judge Stevens' face the first day
of the term, told about the fights
Peel and James boy had at Tap
er's store on the night of August
19 The witness, a relative of the
defendant, said that following the
fights, the James boy left and
late that night took a stand al
Romulus Peel's store and shot
Grover Peel from ambush The
witness admitted that Peel had
carried the previous fights to the
defendant, hut maintained that
the victim was on his way home
and did not move on the defen
dant.
The defense tore into the wit

1937 and was climaxed by his
“run-in” with the judge on Mon

Postpone Harvest Festival
Here Until October 23rd
Williamston’s Fourth Annuel |
Harvest Festival, originally sched
uled for Tuesday and Wednesday,
October 2 and 3, is being delayed
until Tuesday and Wednesday,
October 23 and 24, it was an
nounced today by A1 Sweatt, man
aging director of the Williamston
Boosters, Inc., sponsors of the an
nual event.
Mr. Sweatt stated that the post
ponement is necessary due to the
unusually heavy amount of to

and the fact that the warehouse
facilities which will be utilised
for the building of floats and for
the Harvest Ball, will not be
available until the later date.
The plans for the Festival,
which has grown into one of the
most popular annual celebrations
in Eastern Carolina, will remain
almost intact, with the original
program increased to make the
event even more enjoyable than
was anticipated.
The street dance, with round
and square dancing, will now
take place on Tuesday, October
23. The parade and the Harvest
Ball will now be held on Wed
nesday, October 24; with the pa
rade much longer than was plan
ned for October 3. Along with
the delaying announcement, it
was stated that the Atlantic
Coast Line's caboose float will
participate in the Festival parade,
in addition to the many units pre
viously announced.
