The murder took place at about one Sunday afternoon in one of the worker’s camps of the McKeithan Lumber Compa ny in Pollocksville where' an ar gument over pay led to Jackson firing two .32. caliber bullets in to Bragg, one in the arm and the other through the head. ; While Sheriff Jeter Taylor and Patrolman L. S.

Nation Puffed Up 352.1 Billion Fags In 1949 As Camels Pass Luckies ' _ ' * In spitd of anti-nicotine speech es by folks like <}ene Tuntaey, far more than 90 per cent of the nation’s adult population is ad dicted to tobacco in one or more forms. Far and away the leading use of the golden weed is cigar ettes. In 1949 there was a total of 352.5 billion cigarettes burned in these United States. That’s a lot of smoke. Most people who do smoke have strong preferences fer the particular brand they light so many times a day. Thip article may serve to settle some of the arguments that develop around the comer and filling station as to which is the most popular brand, or at least which was the rank it enjoyed in 1949. Camels, in spite of a one bil lion drop in 1949, moved ahead of Lucky Strikes to head the pa rade in ’49 with 97 billion. Luck ies dropped from 102.5 billion in ’48 to 93 billion in ’49. This represented a 9.3 per cent drop in Lucky sales. Number three on the nicotine parade was Chesterfield which also registered a one billion drop from ’48’p 69.5 billion to 68,5 bil lion in 1949. It is interesting to hote that in the past year all of the big three in the cigarette world showed drops in total sales while all the less popular brands showed increases. Camel drop ped one per cent, Luckies 9.3 per cent and Chesterfields 1,4 per --fa 1.5, Domino 1.5, Marvel 1.0, Wing and Avalon 1.0, Cavalier 0.8, Viceroy and Life 0.8, Regents 0.7, Parlia ment and Virginia Arounds 0.6, BLUE MOLD NOTE The recent cold spell may here retarded the ever present threat of hide mold to tobacco plant beds in this part of the State but it is almost a certain ty that the plant-killing dis ease will soon be at work again in a big proportion of all plant beds. Again this year F ex male is recommended as the best known preventative of this disease, but Extension Depart ment workers remind that Fer male is only a means of pre venting blue mold and is NOT a cure. In order to prevent losses by blue mold it is neces sary to spray or. dust plant beds from the time the plants reach the sise of a dime until transplanting, at 10 to 14-day intervals, depending on how much rain is had and on the type soil plant beds axe locat ed. After blue mold is at work nothing can stop it. Now is the time to stop it and one ap plication is not sufficient. Embassy 0.5, Marlboro 0.5 and all others'0.3 billion. In spite of the drop taken by the top three brands 1949 sales topped 1948’s by 1.1 per cent with a jump from 348.7 billion in ’4* to 352.5 jft,1949, It is small con have coll arettes alone. If our lungs last long enough we may dissolve the national debt in a cloud of cig arette smoke. YORKSHIRE MOTHER AND OFFSPRING Farm Manager Ralph Griffin. Alio included in ihe livestock population of the farm is a herd of Aberdeen-Angus beef cattle, with 13 heifers and one bull.
