(Spartanburg Herald ) Farmers In Western North Caro lina are rising In protest against the North Carolina statute requir ing the payment of a license fee of $50 from all trucks selling pro duce not grown in that, state and will hold a series of mass meet ings during the next few days to raise funds 'which will be turned over to South Carolina farmers and peach growers to be used for legal expenses in injunction pro ceedings, it was learned Sunday. O. B. Jones, county agent of Henderson county, said over long distance telephone Sunday night that farmers of that county arc protesting against, the statute and that several meetings would be held tn various sections of the county beginning Monday after noon . for the purpose of raising funds. N. C. Farmers Aid Fight. "Farmers throughout the county are voicing protests and we begin a series of mass meetings Monday afternoon,” Mr. Jones said. "We have set. no goal but I am confi dent that Henderson county farm ers will aid materially In defraying the necessary legal expeases for the Injunction suit.” In addition to this section, the Better Business Builders, a newly organised civic club, has gone on record as opposing the statute ar.d a committee has been appointed to act with South Carolina fanner or any other body in getting the law aet aside. Movement Spreading t am informed that farmers m other Western North Carolina counties are planning stmUia,r movements. The farmers through out this section of the state arc anxious to have the statute ■ set aside.” Newspaper* throughout Western North Carolina have attacked the statute and have offered to re ceive contributions to be turned over to South Carolina farmers for legal expenses. Ben Gamllng, one of the largest peach growers in this county and a leader in the movement, said Sunday night that the attorneys representing South Carolina farm ers and peach growers would pro bably be notified this afternoon to proceed with the injunction suit. May Act Monday “It we receive all the money that has been promised Mondav morning, the attorneys will be notified to begin action." Mr Oramling said. “It is difficult to sstimate Just when the suit will be filed for it will probably re quire some time to draw up the necessary* papers. Our lawyers have Seen working on the matter but 1 don’t know exactly how much legal work remains to be done before the suit if filed. I do not think that it will be long, however." In a statement published under his name in the Hendersonville <N O Times-News, County Agent Jones characterized the North Carolina statute as a piece of "most disastrous legislation.” One Teacher Lost—Book Exchange 1 Wffl Be Operated by Teachers. Piedmont School Monday ; The Piedmont. High School, Lawn dale, will open for the summer term on Monday, July 27th. The patrons! are invited to attend the brief open ing exercises to be held in the main building at 9 o'clock, Immediately after the assembly period, regular classroom work will begin. A book exchange will be operated by the teachers for the benefit of pupils wishing to buy or sell used books. No charge will be made for this service. All pupils having ele mentary or high school textbooks which have been used for the past two years should bring them Mon day so as to be more certain to! dispose of them. New books will also be on sale at the principal’s office. The school officials wish to stress the importance of regular and pune- j tual attendance. No other thing could help the schools during a try ing year more than the earnest co operation of pupils and patrons toward this end. Every pupil of »chool age should enroll the first day if possible. The Piedmont system loses one teacher this year due to changes in legislation. However, part of this Inconvenience will be avoided by transferring one or more teachers uid their pupils from the Lawndale and Double Shoals to the central unit. This will help relieve crowded rooms at Piedmont and at the same ime give more pupils the many advantages of the larger school wi*h one grade in a room. The first teachers' meeting will ha held Saturday. It is expected that most of the teachers will take advantage of the opportunity to room and board in the teacherage an the campus.

M. King, head of the Waco schools, recently sold out, as the saying goes, for re gions north of the Mason and Dixon line, on a vacation. They traveled lri a Ford coupe— dressed up In a North Carolina li cense tag, the same being the prop erty of Mr. King. All went well, as the movies have it, until the Jolly pair reached Jer sey City, where with high hopes and pretty fat pocketbooks. they bore down upon the city of New York, metropolis of the east. At the entrance to Holland tun nel, leading under the river Into Bagdad, the plot of the piece took a sudden turn for the worse. It .seems that Hamrick—while he gets' by here In his native burg as a man with an open and even honest coun tenance—resembles a man who re sembles another man, who looks like A1 Capone. or something like that. At any rate four policemen jump ed the travelers, rudely enough. Said things—Insulting things. Began to search the coupe, which it ap pears is a suspicious vehicle in those hinterlands. And—they found a gun, and the fat was in the fire. One cop got into the coupe with Hamrick, and King was taken into the regular police car, and the pro cesston_ with sirens blowing and horns tooting, head speedily for the Jersey City bastile. It seems it is a penitentiary of fense, practically a capital crime to carry a gun in the lily white town of Jersey City. The travelers in due course, which means pronto and quite immediate ly, found themselves at police head quarters, which was as crowded as Dorton fairgrounds- on opening day In September. Our friends were rudely jostled it seems, and there were unpleasant words and odors, and threats. The fair fields of the gentlemen's native North Carolina receded In ■their consciousness, until they took on a far away, Elysian aspect ,of re mote delight. For a time prison doors yawned, Then the skies cleared. It seems the travelers talk well away from home, and when necessity is the mother of genuine earnestness. Hamrick, it appears sold himself and his friend, to the Jersey City police, until they almost hugger the pair of them. And they left with promises of mutual visits, and col lective good times in prospect. The gun was sent back, and beat the travelers to the home bailiwick. Again at Batavia, New York, at two o’clock in the morning there was more trouble. That fatal re semblance of the Shelby man to A1 Capone's first cousin caused him no end of trouble, But our friends in the end, like a true movie tale, came through like brave sons of the South They visited Niagara, couldn’t re sist a little whip over into Canada, returned by way of Pittsburgh, and report a delightful visit; flavored with such dangers that always add spice to life.
