Si vills pleaded guilty1 to a charge of simple assault and is said to be a I hard-working negro by white men by whom he has been employed. In default of the fine he was locked up . in Jail Tuesday morning. Unless he can pay the fine the suspended, sen tence will take effect. If he can pay the fine, good behavior tor two years will save him from serving time on the roads. It appears that Abner and his wife have been having trouble for some time by reason of Abner's attention to other women and that Abner slapped his wife on the occasion which brought him into court when she upbraided him in language more vigorous than chaste for some misconduct. William W. Sawyer drew a fine of $5 and costs in police court Wed nesday for speeding. George Kerr was taxed with the costs for passing an Intersecting highway at a greater rate of speed than ten miles an hour.

EACH DAY Sweet Potato Movement Has Not Yet Ilea hid Peak PrieeB town Than Had Iteen Hoped For Currituck and Camden sweet po tatoes are now being shipped from Elizabeth City at the rate of twenty cars a day, though the peak oil the crop movement has not yet been reached. Forty-one hundred barrels of sweet potatoes for northern markets left here Tuesday, and at noon it appeared that Wednesday's shipments would 'a't least equal those of Tues day. However, when the peak of the movement is reached the North River Line in years past has handled from six to seven thousand barrels a day, and J. B. Baker, superintendent of the line, expects the movement to reach that level this year. "We are amply prepared to take care ot the situation If the crop movement comes up to that level," he said Wed nesday, "for we have two boats avail able which we have not yet used In moving the crop this year at all." Present indications, in Mr. Bak er's opinion, are that the peak of the crop movement will be reached the last of the present week or the first of next, unless the weather Is unfav orable for digging. Estimating Wednesday's shlp- rnents at 20 cars or about 4,000 bar-i rels, shipments to date have totalled somewhat over 20,000 barrels, or less than one-fifth of the estimated crop. This is hardly up to normal in an average year, though a bumper crop was predicted for this season and sweet potatoes were supposed to be rather forward. Whether unfavorable weather iand prices not altogether satisfac tory are keeping the potatoes In the ghort 0f eary estimates will prob I ably be determined within the next week. Potatoes now are selling at ; from four to five dollars a barrel on I northern markets and at from $3.25 j to $3.50 f. o, b. Elizabeth City, but buyers here are few and Inactive.

"Cotton growers and agricultural experts to the South of us knowi what it means to see one-fourth to three-fourths of the cotton bolls of a field destroyed by weevil. They tell us that during seasons favorable to the weevil very little cotton is set after the first part of August. After this time the weevil have multipled in such large numbers that practi cally no squares are left. Under such conditions the amount of cotton we P.lck fbe fall depends upon the number of bolls set now. Examine your fields and you will find stalks that have ten to twelve bolls set and others that have less' than three. Seed from the plants that have ten or more bolls set will reproduce plants of their kind. The plants that have the largest number of bolls now are not only safer from boll weevil attack but will produce the greatest amount of lint this fall.

Among the condemned are several who turned informers. Three others were acquitted, and the remainder were given prison sentences of two . to ten years. The proceedings of the court were so different from die American and Western European conceptions of Jurisprudence that, to the neutral observer, It seemed more of a thrill ing melodrama than a' serious trial in which human lives were at stake. A brother was arrayed against his sister, former political companions were bitterly pitted against each other; and the sharp divisions made by the Russian civil war between former friends were displayed day by day ln a colorful tableau set in a frame of bayonets. Openly announcing that the pro letarian system of Justice was differ ent from that of any other, the pre siding Judges of the revolutionary tribunal permitted far wider latitude to both prosecution and defense than could be imagined by an American Jurist. Prisoners yere permitted to speak at will, to Interrupt witnesses and to make long political addresses from the benches where they sat, day by day, guarded by khaki clad soldiers with bayonetted rifles. At one time some of the prisoners arose and threatened to withdraw from the trial. Again they argued with the presiding Judge that the hours ot sitting were too long. "They feel that they are doomed; for several years they have been Im prisoned and now, while they have the chance, they are going to 'talk politics," one of the counsel for the defense said in explaining the pris oners' attitude. From the very be ginning of the trial on June 8 the principal defendants took the stand that they were responsible, not to the court, but to history and to their own consciences, and thereupon they began to carry on an unruly program that might well have shocked an American Judge Into having them put Back In their cells and ordering the ! trlal to on wlth0"t 'hem. Most of the court'8 rulings were, agalnBt the defeniants. Because ot hub X.UIU vanuervesae, ueigian, once a minister in the Belgian cab inet, and a representative at the trial of the second, or Amsterdam Internationale, withdrew and went back home. He had been permitted to enter Russia as counsel for the defense. With him went Herr Lleb knecht, brother of Carl Liebknecht, the "martyr Communist of Ger many"; Herr Rosen field and Herr Waters, the other foreign counsel sent in by the Socialist Interna- 00 re-itlonales to defend their political co and : believers.
