Two warrants have been served on him, one alleging he fleeced Leander Purvis out of $800 over a period of about four months last year, and the other charging him with fleecing Jobie and Rosa Parker out of about $300. All the details surrounding the 50-year-old Negro man’s activi ties in this county could not be learned immediately. It is thought that he has two teen-age girls un der his “spell”, one report rr .in taining they are in Wilmington and will not return home. It was< claimed that the girls did not want to return, but the parents believe they are afraid to leave the Wilmington house at 822 South Eighth Stret. There is a possibility that the IU’conjure doctor” has fleeced forty or fifty persons in this county. He I operated in this area about eight years ago and barely escaped pro secution in the courts at that time. During the past year, he has been operating in the county again. Claiming the power to treat humans for varjous ail ! nients, Simmons gets his victims in his clutches and apparently j held them there. Officers are of the opinion that » full investiga tion will invole the man in other IQ rackets. Following the man’s arrest last Saturday, several persons have j said something about being vic ' timized by Simmons, and that they are employing counsel today to press charges against the de fendant. Simmons went to the Parker home on the Norman farm near Robcr ’.onville last Saturday. No ®>ne was at home at the time, but when the Parkers returned, Sim mons left hurriedly. The Parkers notified Sheriff Murray Hollo man and the officer trailed the m«n to Bethel, where vehicles were changed. An alarm was put nn the radio, and Simmons was arrested in New Bern about 7:30 o’clock Saturday evening. Pending the hearing which will be held possibly later this week, Simmons continues in the county ^ail in default of a $1,500 bond. Attempts To End ......

Making an inspection about midnight, Jailer Roy Peel found the man in a weakened condition but not uncoscious. A doctor was called and the wound was sewed up. Dowdy had told a fellow pri soner that he would never be tried on the drunken driving charge. ^The man was arrested and jail ed by Williamston police and m members <>f the S'ate H-ghway Patrol.

The many familiar faces which 1 see before me and the pleasant and familiar background of Williams j ton and vacinity gives me, an illi terate farm boy, the courage o appear here tonight before this, my first real American audience. Before I begin chattering, I would like to apologize to each and every one of you for having lost my North Carolina accent. I would also like to state that mine is not a British, as so many peo ple think, but rather, if there is such a thing as international ac cent. In any event. I sincerely hope that you will not find it too difficult to understand the few words which I shall utter and that you will display tolerance and pa tience toward both my accent and my views. As some of you may know, 1 have, for the past ten years, been employed by our Federal Govern ment. Eight of those ten years were spent as a Foreign Service employee on the Continents of Eu rope and South America.

I should also like to give my own personal, and definitely unofficial, impressions of certain things which I have encountered in my limited travels abroad and to outline some of the wierd ideas and impressios about this gov ernment and the American people which I, in both an official and unofficial capacity, found harbor ed in the minds of a shockingly ; large number of Europeans Since most of my career was spent in what is now the Office of Internatioal Information and Exchange, known abroad as the United States Information Pro (Continued on Page Eight) -# Two Car Wrecks ~In-Tkis-Caaniy No one was injured and proper ty damage was limited to about $600 in two motor vehicle acci dents on the streets in two coun ty towns last week-end.

Tobacco Co-Op To Neel On June 27ih —®— The Flue-Cured Tobacco Coop erative Stabilization Corporation, better known as the World’s larg est co-op, with a total member ship of more than 438,000 tobacco producing stockholders from five states, will hold its Annual Meet ing this year in the Main Ball Room of the Sir Walter Hotel, in Raleigh, June 27, at 11:00 a. m. L. T. Weeks, of Raleigh, general manager of the organization, who made the announcement, said that the principal speaker on this year's program would be North Carolina's Commissioner of Agri eulture, L. Y, Ballcntine. Week said that the Stabilization Corporation was set up in 194(1 and has been operating for the past five seasons. “It is one of the few organizations in’ existence to day that borrows working capital from the Federal Government and pays it back with interest,” he pointed out. He said through Stabilization's operations, every producer of flue cured tobacco is able to get at least 90 percent of parity for his leaf on the warehouse floor. When a member's tobacco fails to bring at least parity at auction. Stabilization buys his tobacco with funds borrowed from the Commodity Credit Corporation and later resells it for a higher price,” Weeks said. “One of the outstanding fea tures of the Stabilization system," he said, "is the fact that it is own ed and operated by and for the flue-cured tobacco producers. This non-profit organization is an out standing example of what can be done who a group sets out to pro vide a self-sustaiing program de signed to overcome tobacco mar keting problems.” Weeks urged that every tobac co-producing county in the bright leaf hilts make a special effort' to have a ' tge representative group present at the meeting.

Mill Is Destroyed i By Fire Friday Night Near Here Ou;mlil\ of (lorn Also Hums In Ahhitt's Mill Fire On jNo. 125 ——«— Abbitt's grist mill, an old land mark known for many years as Mobley’s Nfill, was destroyed by fire last Friday night, along with several thousand bushels of corn, corn barn, sheds and much equip ment, A large grain elevator was damaged to some extent. The loss was unofficially esti mated at about $80,000 with ap proximately $15,000 insurance in force. Started by a spark from one of the grist mill rocks or flints, the fire spread rapidly in the main two-story building. The attend ant tried to telephone in an alarm, but the line was busy and it was declared that the talking parties refused to yield the circuit. Dur ing the meantime, the fire spread to all parts of the building and was seen several miles away pos sibly twenty minutes or more be fore someone made a trip to the local fire station and sounded the alarm. Williamston’s volunteer fire men carried both of the large pumpers and placed them in op eration, drawing water and fight ing the fire back from the large grain elevator. It was more than a three hour fire, and the highway was blocked most of that time Telephone service between Williamston and Hamilton and . Oak City was disrupted several i hours when all the circuits were [ burned down. I Traffic jammed the streets 'when the second of the two fue trucks moved out, and hundreds went to the fire, some of them getting hemmed in for hours. Mr. W. () Abbitt, owner-opera tor of the mill, stated that four thousand bushels of corn had been placed in the elevator Friday af ternoon. Even while the embers still burn, Mr. Abbitt is making plans to rebuild the mill. Engineers and mill W I i g ill. ,> Vt" to i' *' 0 the ..*... uation on Thursday of this week. 1! was explained that the rebuild ing program would be pushed as rapidly as possible. Soon after the mill burned, cus tomers of the mill, including sev fial of v... wik firms in this section of the State, called and expressed the hope that the mill would be rebuilt and that the product would be placed back on the market as rapidly as pos sible. Mr. Abbitt said lie could not offer an estimate on the costs un til the engineers complete their survey. "But when we make our plans they will be so designed to tin mill .-.lie 17I■•■■■vhc-jr.T.v.t modern fii the country," Mr. ‘Ab bitt said. The mill dam gave way and considerable water went out of the pond, threatening the fish. Volunteers were asked for Sun day and a few filled bags with dirt and checked tl)# water flow. He expressed his appreciation to all those who in anyway helped during the emergency last Friday night, and expressed the hope that all his customers would bear with him during the present emergen cy. The fire was the second to which local firemen were called in less than twenty-four hours. Fire started in the Dixie Peanut Company’s hull house about 10:50 o’clock Thursday night, but little damage resulted there. The sprinkler system had almost cheeked the fire when firemen reached there and they finished knocking it out with water from a large hose line.
