AUG. 3, 1922 ALL TilK LOCAL NEWS EI INDUCEMENTS . MARKETING MADE A MISDEMEANOR BY THE LEGISLATURE OF NORTH CAR OLINAt THdSE ATTEMPTING THESE BREACHES ARE LIABLE TO BE PENALIZED $500 FOR EACH OFFENSE. Recently many reports have reach. ed the Southerner of attempts that have been made by somo parties to induce some farmers to breach their ' contracts with the Cooperative Mar keting Associations. It has been rumored that some far mers have been told that they had a perfect right to sell their tobacco wherever they wish to do so, and no thing could be done by the law. There ia another rumor that some farmers have been approached to make fake mortgages and liens in order to embarrass, the association and prevent the signer from comply ing with his contract that he has -signed. These rumors and reports have been heard recently by the Souther ner ami we think it is high time that the people generally know what the law has to say on this question. In the Iaws of 1921, Chapter 87, Kection 25, will be found the follow, lag: Misdemeanor: Breach of mar keting contract of cooperative asso ciations; spreading false'report about the finances thereof. Any person or persons, or any cor poration whose officers or employees knowingly induces or attempts to in dace any member or stockholder of an association organized hereunder to breach his marketing contract with the association or who maliciously and knowingly spreads false reports about, the finances or management thereof shall be guilty of a misdemea nor and subject to a fine of not less than $100 and not more than $1000 for each such offense, and shall be liable to the association aggrieved in a civil suit in the .penal sum of f 500 for each such offense : Provided, how ever, this shall not apply to a bona fide creditor of any member of stock holder of such association or agents thereof or attorney of any such bona tide creditor, endeavoring to make collection of the indebtedness.

TO BREACH CONTRACTS T "I don't believe the people of North Carolina expect their governor to be hararsed and blackguarded by a few newspapers aa ' I have been since I entered office," said Gover nor Morrison yesterday, taking keen exception to newspaper reports of his speech before the Farmers State Con vention Tuesday. "Three-fourths of the newspapers in the state are very friendly to me and it is inconceivable that I should have assailed the entire press of the state." The governor stated that his re marks were aimed at one particular paper which ho called by name. He admitted that in the course of his ad dress, which was heated, he used some general terms but the object of his attack, he maintained, was the one paper. "Since I have been governor every newspaper man here has been treat ed courteously in this office," the governor continued, "even those who were unfriendly to me." Furthermore, the governor declar-) ed, that he will carry the fight on some newspapers which ho says have attempted to deride and degrade the governor into the campaign this fall, and he expects to make it warm for them. "I have no objection to honest crit icism or difference of opinion, so long as. I am treated in a dignified way,' but the efforts to blackguard and belittle the govwtror-is a slur on the state," he declared. MOTORISTS IN -AFRICA NEVER TRAVEL WITHOUT HORNS NAIROBI, Kenya Colony, East Afri ca, VTuly 1. The toot of a single mo tor horn has been found sufficient, irt Africa, to quiet stampeded oxen and cause a trio of flesh-hunting lions to slink away into the bushes. Twd native drivers were recently conducting a wagon drawn by 16 oxen to the railroad camp, in the wilds near Nakuru, the site of the new Uasin Gishu railroad, when the spans were attacked by three lions. The drivers fled to nearby trees. The oxen became panic stricken and dash ed down the rough road, dragging along the body of one ox, killed by the Hons, with the swaying wagon behind them. The lions followed their prey. This was the mad procession that greeted a lone motorist at a curve of the road. He had no rifle, and it was almost an unconscious movement that took his hand to the horn button. At the first sound the lions -seemed non plussed. The motorist then blew loud and long, as the uncanny and sustain ed shriek rose above the clamor of the frightened animals, the lions slunk away among the rocks, headed for tho shelter of the bush, and the oxen swung clear of the dust-covered automobile and came to. a stop at the aide of the road. FIGHTING AND BIBLE READING INSEPARABLE IN CHINA. . NEW YORK, Aug. 3. Wars and politics around Peking do not inter fere with the sale of the Scriptures. The American Bible Society has announced, that it recently shipped from its headquarters in Shanghai 187,000 Bibles to the sub-agency in Peking. This was the largest single shipment ever eent out in the history of the society's work in China. A year ago a record-breaking, con signment of 588 packages was sent by mail, through the efficient Chi nese pastoffiees, to Szechuen. Altho part of this order fell into hands of robbers along the TangUe river, the book were ultimately all delivered.

He will make his first address in the campaign at Dunn, Saturday af ternoon at 2 o'clock. Dr. Poe will speak at several other points in the state Inter and will also take an act ive part in the cotton campaign in South Carolina. Dr. B. W. Kilgore, director of the North Carolina Agricultural Exten sion Service, who was the second Tar Heel to sign the marketing contract of the association, is giving much of his time to the present membership campaign. He has already spoken at several points in the state. He will make an address at Littleton on Fri day and Saturday ho goes to Tar- boro, where he will speak at 2:30 in the afternoon at a mass meeting of cotton farmers. Dr. Kilgore will make a series of addresses in the interest of coopera tive marketing of cotton next week beginning at . Lillington, where he speaks Monday morning in the court house, at 11 o'clock. In the afternoon of the same day he will speak at San- ford. Tuesday he will be at Pineview, in Harnett county, and Wednesday he will make an address at Angier. J. A. Evans, of the United States Department of Agriculture at Wash ington,' who has been taking an act ive part in the cooperative movement has been secured for three addresses in the state. He will speak at Green ville Friday, and Saturday afternoon he will be at Snow Hill. On Monday, August 7,' he will make an address in the court house at Monroe, at 11 a.m EAST CAROLINA CROP OF TOBACCO IS BAD G-OLDSBORO, Aug. 2. Tobacco crops in eastern Carolina are the worst ever, in the opinion of G. Wray Holt, manager of the Imperial To bacco Company, who has just return ed from an inspection of them, He predicts not more than a 50 per cent j ield around Kinston, Green ville, Rocky Mount and perhaps Wil son. Heavy rainfall is given as the reason for the low grades of tobacco in this area. Back toward Smithfield and in the area that extends from there to Fu quay Springs, the crops get better and a fair yield is expected from many .of the farms in that locality. But tobacco or no tobacco, it ca not stifle talk of the opening of the cooperative association here today. The cooperators believe that the poor yield expected this year will be one of the greatest strengths added to their cause.! They say that all the great loss in the past has been on the poor quality of tobacco which they were forced to sell for whatever they could get for it, while this time they claim that by being in league with the growers of the western part of the state where the fine qualities of tobacco will result this year,' they can force the price up on the poor grade. Officials of the tobacco companies have little to say on the subject of cooperative marketing except that they do not know the opinion of their companies for the very good reason they have not expressed an opinion. OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug. 3. A smashing victory for the Farmers' Union, labor element and opponents of the Ku Klux Klan in Oklahoma was indicated today, when returns from 1783 out of 28037 precinct gave Mayor Walton of Oklahoma City a lead of 21.1)00 over R. H. Wilson, reputed to have the klan support, in the gubernatorial race. j PROHIBITION MICHIGAN LUGS DETROIT, Aug. 2. The wet and dry question is expected to play a leading part in the political dramas that will be enacted in Michigan this year Decision of the Michigan division of the National Association Opposed to Prohibition not to submit to the voters next fall a proposed amend ment permitting the sale of beer and light wines within the state in the event cf the Volstead act's modifi cation, leaves this organization free to press its fight in the various sena torial," congressional nnd legislative campaigns, it was indicated. In announcing submission of light wine and bcor amendment would be postponed, at least until the state election in the spring of 1323, Rob ert Wardell of Detroit, secretary of the anti-prohibition organization, de clared his group would concern it self in every division of the campaign in Michigan this year, both in the primaries and general election. This announcement closely follow- ed one by the state division of the! Anti-Saloon League, that said the! drys were busy checking the record; of every candidate for public office and would make a flat-footed declar ation concerning the league's stand on each candidate some time before the days set for balloting. The lea gue already has undertaken its in vestigation of each candidate, it is announced, and declarations are ex pected within a short time. The wet forces announced their decision to withhold submission of a beer and wine amendment as made because at the time there was a pos- sibility that the so-called anti-parp4 chlal school amendment might be submitted again this year. This latter proposed amendment would Tequire an affirmative vote for passage while the. wet amendment would require the same sort of an expression. The fear was expressed by the wets', Mr. Wardell said, that those opposed to the school amendment might, vote "no" on all questions to make sure they had registered opposition to the one.

AMERICAN GOODS FLOOD THE "THIEVES MARKETS" EUROPE RIGA, July 10. The so-called "thieves markets" of Europe are to day crowded with the product of Am erican factories. When the American army went home, enormous stocks of equipment of various kinds were dis posed of in France and Germany, by sale and otherwise, and much of this surplus has f oand its way to the many open air gatherings of the continent where men and women bargain for a miscellaneous mass of articles under the tacit understanding that one must not inquire whence the things come. . '' In the market of Riga, covering an area of two blocks, there are offered for sale daily large quantities of U. S. army paraphernalia, particularly clo thing, and sanitary articles bearing the names of different American re lief organizations. American phono graphs give daily concerts of Ameri can airs, which invariably attract the crowds from the music of competi tors with their German machines playing Russian tunes. American sew ing machines, too, are on sale in some stalls, and in others there are Amer ican made knives" and forks vieing with German, Polish and Russian! manufactured goods of the same kind. Also there are thousands of old and worn collars, still carrying the mark which gives their birthplace as Troy, New York. The purchaser takes his pick at his own price, provided he can reach an understanding with the polyglot store keeper, who will bargain with him in any one of the four or five languages now current in the streets of Riga.
