of tobacco delivered at the coopera
' tive warehouse there yesterday.
Pinetops reports 11,132 lbs. deliv
ered and Tarboro reports 17,684 lbs.
The Telegram states that all who

prevailed at Tarboro and Pinetops.
In all the co-op warehouses are
cards giving the advance prices of
the five principal grades. The prices
' are at follows:
Advances on four grades of wrap
pers, $20 to ?28 per hundred lbs.
Advances on cutting leaf range
from 8 to $19.20 per hundred for
eight grades. ,
Advances on cutters, of which
there will ibe 14 grades, range from
$8.80 to $20 per hundred.

A VERY PRETTY
GAME YESTERDAY
A small but very enthusiastic
crowd was at Bryan Park yesterday
afternoon to witness the last game
Tarboro played at home. With many
of its best players gone, Tarboro put
up a spicy fight and Greenville had
to put in its best pitcher to keep the
Tarboro boys from winning the game.
Tarbor let off with two runs and
had Greenville guessing. Then the
visitors came along and piled up six
runs. The Greenville boys became ex
ultant and began to play easy, think
ing the game was won, but Tarboro
kept right on plugging away and
(landed three more runs.' This threw
a fright into the visitors, who took
Walker out and put in Beale, con
sidered the best pitcher on Green
ville's staff, and the first thing he
did was to give a man base on balls,
He soon tightened up, however, and
closed the game with a score of 5 to
5 in favor of Greenville.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25. Mediating
brotherhood chiefs and Tail execu
tives again face each other today in
a cross conference in an attempt to
test the possibility of settling the
shopmen's strike. It is believed the
railroad men will pursue the plan of
the United Mine Workers.
Yesterday afternoon the Kiwani
ans held their regular semi-monthly
meeting at their hall on Main street.
An elegant dinner was served, after
which the business part was gone in
to by the members.
After a few preliminary remarks
Kiwanian Umstead turned the meet
ing over to Kiwanian Haynes,' who
made a report as to the placing of
signs and boards along the highway
advertising the town. This matter
was left open to some subsequent
meeting.
Kiwanian Haynes then turned the
meeting over to Kiwanian Mann, who
asked those present what they were
doing to keep some of the money
that had been paid out this week for
tobacco brought here by the farmers.
He stated that about $40,000 had
been paid since the tobacco market
had opened. He also stated that he
had seen no one at the warehouses to
see the farmers and extend to them
a glad hand.
At this time Kiwanian Mann asked
the visitors to stand up, and L. B
Drake, W. G. Cardwell and Herbert
Elks were given a cheer and a hand
clapping.
Kiwanian Fountain was called up
on to say something about the sweet
potato storage warehouse that will
be Duili in Tarboro. He gave short
history of the movement, how he got
into this business and why, and told
the audience that it had appealed to
him for many reasons. It .gave the
farmer cash all the year, and it pro
vided crop that was of great com
mercial value. He told the meeting
how the house would be managed and
how a federation had already been
formed and would soon begin opera
tions this fall. Kiwanian Fountain is
very enthusiastic over this industry
and has given much time and thought
to its development, and it is a fact
that the building of the storage
house for Tarboro is due largely to
his efforts.
Kiwanian Jones made a motion the
Kiwanians of Tarboro approve the
action of the commissioners in giving
Main street a better system of lights.
This matter was brought up at the
last session of the board of town
commissioners, but was deferred for
further information. This action of
-the board was approved by those
present.
Kiwanian man then introduced Mr.
W. G. Cardwell, the speaker of the
evening, who addressed the club on
the commercial value of the sweet
potato. He said he had great confi
dence in the sweet potato as a money
crop, as it has great possible value.
North Carolina is- producing each
year around tweWe million bushels
that are worth at least twelve mil
lion dollars. The great value of the
potatoes can hardly be realized when
each year there is a loss of at least
fifty percent of the crop. The great
trouble now is the lack of interest
among our people and the failure to
be able to keep the potatoes and pro
perly distribute them.
He said he was not optimistic over
the sale of the sweet potato in the
eastern markets as the people in that
section had been for years used to
eating the Irish potato and other po
tatoes than the Nancy Hall and the
Porto Rican.
He said that the raising and, mar
keting of the sweet potato was no
little thing,' nor was it a vain thing.
There must be an increased mar
ket for our potato. He startled the
audience that i( was a fact that at
the Greensboro College sweet pota
toes were served very rarely, while
on the other hand the Irish potato
was on the tables seven times a week.
Made a most interesting and in
structive address and when he had
finished all had a better and more ex
alted idea of the sweet potato than
they had ever had before.
Kiwanian Umstead called the at
tention the club to the fact that
at he next meeting in September
the teachers of the public schools of

MOSLEM
MQSnilE
to
SOON TO BE RAZED
DETROIT, Mich., Aug. 24. The
Moslem mosque in Highland Park,
suburb, that for more than a year
has stood as the only outward sym
bol of Islam in the western world,
to be razed, and the property sold.
Injection of reforms into the anc
ient religion of the prophet, which
is said caused diesension in the ranks
of Mohammedans here, and lack of
interest on the part of most of them
were given by Muhahhad Karoub,
wealthy Moslem real estate man
whose reasons for abandonment of
the projects to propagate the Islam
ic faith in this country.
Added to these is the fact that th
property has been placed on the tax
rolls by the Highland Park adminis
tration, and Mr. Karoub is compelle
to pay taxes on the mosque, city offi
cials holding it is "vacant property
not used for religious worship."
Mr. Karoub says' his efforts
found a religious center for bis-" peo
ple cost $5i, 000. While expressing
his disappointment at being forced
to adopt this course, he added he had
"no word of censure for my people,
adding if they differed from himself
as to the interpretations of the doc
trine of Mohammed, "it is their af
fair and their right."
..Mr. Karoub came to America sev
eral years ago, a penniless immigran
from Arabia. Settling in Detroit, he
obtained employment as a laborer in
an automobile factory, and by saving
money and making judicious invest
ments, became wealthy, it is said
His next ambition was to further
the cause of Islam in North and
South America and the mosque fol
lowed. The structure was dedicated
in June, 1921, with elaborate cere
monies conducted by Mufti Moham
mad Sadiq, Moslem missionary from
India, whose doctrines, it is said,
caused a .split, in the congregation;
and two local Moslem sheiks, Khaleel
Bizzy and Hassan Karoub, the latter
a brother of the mosque builder.

club an deverybody was urged to be
present and assist in this great plea
sure. He also told those present that
funds had to be raised to keep the
students at college that had been
provided for last year, and that he
was preparing a schedule of baseball
games lor the season and hoped all
Kiwanians would give ttase games
their support. Instead of providing
for two students at college there
were applications for two more this
year and the means must be had.

MIS BIG ISSUE
IN TEXAS POLITICS
DALLAS, Texas, Aug. 25. The
Ku Klux Klan promises to bp an issue
in Texas politics until after the final
elections in November. It has become
a vital issue in the democratic party
especially in the rate for democratic
nomination for United States senator
and is creeping into the race for the
nomination for lesser state offices. It
also has been a bitter issue in certain
counties.
The action of the republican state
committee in opposing the Klan in
its platform, adopted in convention
at Fort Worth, Aug. 9, precludes the
dropping of the issue after the dem
ocratic primary of Aug. 2(i. Politi
cians declare they see a bid by the
republicans for the anti-klan demo
cratic vote in the platform plank op
posing the klan.
The republicans, for the first time
in a number of years have a full
state ticket in the field now.' Here
tofore nomination on the democratic
ticket has been considered equal to
election, with only an occasional ex
ception. There are few members of
the republican party optimistic en
ough to declare they expect success
of their candidates this year, but
they do say they expect the republi
can vote will show an increase, and
the democrats will ndt have as easy
a time as in the past.
PLAN DISPOSAL OF
S CO
PROFITS
.TOKIO, Aug. 25. Considerable
discussion is going on among those
interested as to the way in which the
profit of the Imperial Raw Silk Co. is
to be, imposed of. It is estimated
that whi-n all the remaining stock
has been sold and all the expendi
tures paid a not profit of -something
like 4,000,000 yen will be left await
ing disposal. Various suggestions are
being put forward regarding its dis
posal but -the one that meets most
support appears to invest the money
for the establishment of a raw. silk
warehouse which will be capable of
at least 100,000 bales.
As a larger part of the capital of
the concern -has been borrowed from
the government ft' a nominal rate of
interest it will be necessary to re
ceive its approval as regards the dis
posal of the profit. Should the con
cern as suggested be established most
of its shares will be taken up by the
present shareholders of the Imperial
Raw Silk Co. and at the same time
the Yokahama Silk Textile Ware
house Co., with a paid-up capital of
475,000 yen will be brought up by
the new concern. The accounts of the
aw silk company will be made up!
during August.

guest of Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Palmer,
Mrs. Anderson is a sister of Mrs, Pal-
mer and is at present at the head of
the Union Language School, at Pek
ing. She is now in this country on
her vacation.
The people of Princeville took oc
casion to celebrate the lighting of the
town by having a big basket dinner
for the public and inviting such not
ed speakers as Ex-Congressman Che
atham of Oxford, Lawyer Douglas
of Tarboro, and Prof. T. S. Inborden
of the J. K. Brick school, to deliver
addresses of inspiration to the people.
Ex-Congressman Cheatham took as
the subject of his discourse, "The
Progress of the Race," based upon
the principle of a real vision. He
treated the subject under the head
ings, a real vision, with its source in
God, and a false vision emanating
from satan. He contrasted the real
vision of Ex-President Wilson with
the false vision of the Kaiser, show
ing the result of each. He warned
his hearers against the false visions
of envy, strife, jealousy, falsehood,
and prejudice; entreating them to
follow the vision from on high in all
their undertakings. In the course of
his remarks he paid a tribute to the
memory of the late governors Ay
cock and Bickett as men of a real vi
sion. He called attention to the great
work done in the state by the late
Mr. Henry Gilliam, as a strong and
worthy financier, and to ex-senator
Geo. A, Holderness, who always was
careful to see that the cause of the
Unfortunates of the state were taken
care of.
Lawyer Douglas was called upon,
and responded in his very pleasing
manner with many a good word of
encouragement and advice. He said:
"In the beginning God said, 'Let
there be light, and there was light.'
In 11)22 the Princeville fathers said
'T ot there be light,' and light was
ffi use f i.e. light-to the greatest pos
sible advantage. He also urged them
to be honest and good citizens of the
comniunitl and to uV?e their vision to
ward a greater progress in the right
ilirecfioii. He insisted that the desire
of the' people of both races was to
remain together and to work togeth
er for the good' of all.
Prof. 'Inborden' spoke of the pos-
I sil-ilities of the race in education and
' n,rj ' ' - d his audience spell
dated one instance af-
- Negro progress by
i-u-i...- . . clear vision of duty.
lie entreated the people to have a
greater interest in their own educa
tion, and to arouse themselves to the
task of helping to provide adequate
school facilities for the proper train
ing of the youth of the race.
All of the speeches were well tak
en, and every one says that the day
was worth while.

TORONTO, Ont., Aug. 24. Chief
of Police Dickson wants a public
spanker. He is not in favor of hav
