I Wallace Negro Held For Murder; Result Of Wreck CHARLIE HERRING son of Duplin, native of the Grady Crossroads section, announces that this year he will be on the Georgia Tobacco Market which opens July 27th.

Charlie is a veteran tobacconist and is well known by tobacco farm ers in Duplin. He now makes his home in Kinston. Herring, in talking with a mem ber of the Times staff, ays he realizes that Georgia is a little far to haul tobacco but from reports he is getting, many farmers Are planning to carry some of the weed In Oenreia Markets. Considering the amount of tobacco that one can haul on a large truck now he said the cost becomes nominal when two or three growers carry their tobacco on one truck. They save money in costs of grading and tying and the fact that a son of Duplin will be on a Georgia Market is proof that Duplin farmers win get unai vided attention. Charlie says he has nassccl the word alone to his ware- nousemen that growers from Duplin County, North Carolina, must get EXTRA special attention and he will personally see that their to bacco will bring the high dollar. For much needed money now, Char lie says plan to carry your first load tn the Rrick Warehouse in Metter.
