CITIZENS MEETING PLANNED FOR NEXT TUESDAY NIGHT ■ Capital Reporter Tobacco Markets Taking Holiday Tobacco markets in the entire flue-cured area were set to close for a holiday of indefinite length after selling was over yesterday, according to information from the Bright Belt Warehouse as sociation which met in Raleigh the first Of the week. Next Mon day the^’?'rd of goviernors. of the association will meet to set the reopening date and the length of selling time on the markets. The action was taken to relieve crowd ed redrying facilities and congest ed warehouses. Representatives of the North Carolina State Grange and the North Carolina Farm Bureau con curred at the meeting in app.ov- ing the holiday motion. Support ers of the holiday motion con tended that the move would per mit a return of full buying power to the markets and resloi'o full competetive bidding. y i i Scott Summers Raleigh, N. C., Sep . 18—The Edwin Gill appointment as Col lector of Internal* Revenue for North Carolina — predicted by CAPITAL REPORTER three weeks ago—brought a lot of com ment from the experts. Some tried to make it look as though President Truman was “agin” the Scott administration and National Committeeman Jonathan Daniels. Some said Governor Scott didn’t know anything about it. Fact is, the Governor knew about it and did not try to stop it,, despite the fact that he invited GiU, a Char lie Johnson for governor man. to quit his job as State revenue commissioner. The job for Gill was engineered by some Wash ington smoothies, this corner hears, and they weren’t Senators. The appointment of Charlie Johnson, ex-state treasurer and opponent of Scott in the guber natorial race, as customs collector at Wilmington. caused a lot of raised .eyebrows. He was named by Senator Hoey, never a bosom buddy of the Governor’s, and ob jection by Scott could have caus ed a further rift in the Demo cratic party in the State—or at least added fuel to the flames. Some folks were surprised that Johnson would accept the job, which reportedly pays $6,400 per year to start. Reports from Char lotte indicate: 1. That Johnson was not too happy in his job there, despite a salary estimated at anyyhere from $10 to $15 thousand per year. 2. That Johnson’s boss and the former State treasurer were not exactly pals. • ’. That other Charlotte bankers did not cotton to the addition of Johnson to their ranks. The new job will give Johnson plenty of leisure time and he is expected to live on , his farm, some 12 miles from Wilmington. The new job should hamper him politically, since technically his hands will be supposedly tied by the Hatch Act. ThaJ’s the law prohibiting federal employees from messing around in politics, it says. North Carolina bankers are moving to head off at least one Yankee invasion. A bunch of New York money men recently came to the State to investigate possi bilities of a time-payment plan for cattle buyers. It would work just like buying a car or refrigerator. So much down, so much a month o week. In some instances, they said, no down payment would be neces sary. The New Yorkers liked what they saw. went back home for their moneybags, and said they’d be back this way soon. Well, sir. Tar Heel bankers reacted like a heifer jabbed with a pitchfork. The North Carolina Bankers Association has called a meeting of “representative agri culture-minded bankers”. They’ll meet here in Rayeigh October 17 with-State Commissioner of Banks Gurney P. Hood, C. B. Ratchford of the N. C. State College Exten- (Continued on back page) Bill Wright said he did not see the car driven by James W. Mann until he looked to his right and saw it wrecked near the Fayette ville road about a block from Main street in Raeford, and that this sight so startled him that he hit his brakes an'd wrecked his own car off the other side of the highway. Judge Henry McDiarmid apparently believed this in Re corder’s court Tuesday, for he found Wright not guilty on a charge of careless and reckless driving. Wright was charged by Raeford Policeman Cook as a result of both Wright’s and Mann’s cars being wrecked here before day on the morning' if June 2, in a wreck in which oc cupants of the other car said Wright chased them and bumped them several times, finally caus ing their driver to lose control. Wright said he could not say that he had ever seen the other car o^'' its occupants before, that he had almost been run off the road about a mile farther \toward Fayetteville, but that he was not even sure that it was Mann’s car which had done it. Two occupants of the Mann car testified that they had seen and felt Wright bump the back of their car foui times with his car between his “place” and the wreck, the four th bump causing the wreck. Po liceman Cook said in effect that he saw, from the street near the hotel, two cars coming toward him at a high rate of speed a.id that they appeared to be side by side momentarily just before they both wrecked. Wright, only uit- ness in his defense, said he did not get close to another car after being almost run off the road some distance farther from town. Judge McDiarmid found him not guilty of careless and leckless driving, but guilty of speeding in a 35-mile speed zone. The judge fined Wright $25 and the cos^s for this. James W. Mann, driver of the other car in this affair, was found guilty of speeding and fined $25 and the costs. He ap pealed to Superior court. P. J. Thompson, colored, pled guilty of driving drunk and got 4 months suspended on payment of $100 and the costs. He was found guilty of temporary larceny of a truck belonging to I. J. Km- law and got three months su spended on payment of the cost/ and $75 to Kinlaw for damages. He works for Kinlaw and Kinlaw indicted hhn and paid him out. Belton Beasley, Jr., white, was found not guilty of driving drunk. Fr^d Douglas Campbell and Willie James Cunningham, both colored, each paid SIO and the costs for having improper brakes and tail light on his car. H. L. Hendrix and wife. Mat-* tie Hendrix, white, were cha’-ged with giving a warranty deed to property in which they anly had a life interest to J. W. S.a'-inders with intent to defraud him. Prob- obly cause was found and the two were held for Superior court. $400 bond was continued. Leroy Brunson, colored, pled guilty of disposing of property mortgaged to C. J. Benner and had to pay the costs and $29.50 to Benner. Hattie Gray and Viola Torrance, both colored, were charged with the same offense by Benner, but were found not guilty as they had the property. I Eddie Roper, ‘colored, pled guilty of allowing his hogs to run out and ’ eat Jim McLauchlin’s dorn. He had to pay the costs and $7.50 to McLauchlin for -.he corn. Hope Mills Takes Hoke High, 6-0 Here Friday P. M. Coach Haywood Faircloth’s Hoke high Bucks were a little disappointing to local fans and doubtless to their coach in their opening game here last Friday night with Hope Mills whicn the visitors won, 6-0, on a pass i.n- terception on the Bucks 10-yard line. The local defense looked pretty good for most of the game as they held the visitors to 50 yards ga;n- ed on the ground. The Hoko r f- fense, however, was not 50 good, as they were in scoring position two tiyies and lost the ball on downs each time. This week the Bucks go to Hain.let where they taka on a Gloss AA team Friday night. Hamlet is expected to be the strongest team on the Hoka High schedule this year, as they are usually contenders in the higher conference. Local coaches have spent this week working on the elimination of the errors that caused the loss last Friday night and a better showing is expected in Hamlet, although the opposition is . trong- er. All County Citixens, And Interested Persons Invited To Attend Clemmie 'Miller, colo-ved wo man caught by the sheriff’s de partment last week with seven jars of white lightning, w.is found guilty of having it illegally for Commission To Ask For Paving Bids Here On Tuesday The State Highway Commis sion will ask for bids on three new road projects in Hoke Coun ty on September 26.

Almost 3.000 miles of road al ready have been paved under the Highway Commission’s accelerat ed roadbtulding program which Ijegan last summer. Because of a mild winter and the availability of labor and materials, the road building program has progressed moe rapidly than expected, ac- coding to Dr. Henry W. Jordan, highway chairman. If good wea ther holds up. Dr. Jordan says more roads will be paved during 1950 than during any previous year in the history of the State Highway Commission. ' 0 J. O. YEASEY ILL J. O.

As the whole mill proposition is expected to have a good effect on property values in Raeford and over the county, a good turn out at the meeting is hoped for and expected.
