Lawyers Will Speak AH Today. I NOT TO GO TO A JURY The Motion Before Judge Daniels Is For a Permanent Injunction, Both Sides Will Surely Appeal to the Supreme Court. (Rocky Mount Telegram, dated Oct 11th) " 1 Attended by a crowd that packed every available inch of the court room and with interest at the high est pitch, the case in which the To bacco GrTFwers' Cooperative Associa-' lion is endeavoring to secure a per manent injunction against W. T. i Jones, of Nash county, and Z. aJ Harrell, of Edgecombe county, to make them live up to their con tract with the association and re strain them from selling tobacco on thrl open market, got under way in Nash county superior court at Nash ville this morning. . The case is be ing htard by Judge Frank Daniels in chambers. Hearing Wi Continued The bearing was first slated for last Monday, but t the request of attorneys was continued until this morning. Another case occupied pHrt of the morning session of the court and the result was that the to- bacco case did not get started until i well up in he morning. Because of he many lawyers involved, it is not believed that ihc liearing will be com pletedTbday but will go 'over until tomorrow. The belief generally pre vails that an appeal will be taken regardless of how the court's decis ion may be as the ease is known to bo a test case and of greatest sig nificance throughout the entire to bacco raising area. Wh.it is probably the largest ar ray of legal talent that has appear ed in any one case in the county in some time is participating in the hearing. Representing 7.. A.

Bra gaw, Burgess and Joyner, Archie D. Odom, and Austin and Davenport. The widespread inlerest at tached J to 'the hearing is clearly evidenced by the monster crowd in attend-' ance!. Telephone advices from Nash ville stated that a record attendance was packed and jam me into the court dhouse an that they had come from all points in eastern Carolina and even from other states. Many prom inent tobacco men are included in the crowd, while among the co-operative association officials present are George A, Norwood, president, of Goldsboro, Hr. J. Y. Joyner, a director and M. O. Wilson, Want Permanent Injunction Today's hearing is thd outgrowth of action taken by the association several weeks ago to stop alleged violtion of contracts by the two members against whom the hearing is directed.
