UTILE EXCUSE FOR
ONE-DAY DELAY IN
MARKETS OPENING
In a meeting held Friday in
Florence, S. C., the Board of Gov
ernors of the Bright Belt Ware
house Association voted to delay
the opening of the New Bright
Belt houses until Friday of this
week rather than the originally
scheduled . Thursday opening.
This vote was taken after Kins
t o n Warehouseman George
Knott, Jr. had made a motion to
open as originally scheduled.
Knott’s motibn caused a tie.
vote to be cast and the President
of the Association was forced to
cast the deciding vote for the
one-day delay. Official reason
given for the one-day delay was
a larger Georgia-Florida crop
than was originally expected. •
Unofficial reason for the delay
waS the fact that Georgia ware
housemen had pushed Georgia
tobacco off their floors in order
to sell Eastern North Carolina
tobacco, the feeling being that
they* would get the Georgia to
bacco anyway and that the Caro
lina week had to be gotten quick
ly.
Julian Fenner, Rocky Mount
warehouseman, who also owns a
Georgia' sales house, was absent
as a member of the Board of Gov
ernors but his proxy refused to
vote on the Knott motion thereby
causing the tie that resulted in
the one-day delay.
Bruae Sugg of Greenville and
T. C. Carleton of Farmville joined
Knott in opposing the delay.
Final plans are being made
now for the biggest and best
Jones County' Agricultural Fair
which is to be held this year dur
ing the last week in October on
the fairgrounds site in Trenton.
Work on several buildings that
will be used to house exhibits is
going along fine and directors of
the event predict the most suc
cessful fdlr up until now. The
American Legion and all other
civic organizations in the county
are sponsoring the fair again this
year and John Larkins is chief
“barker” of the affair.
