q good rain soon the bean crop
will be cut short. There is some-
thing near 1000 acres in beans
around Goldsboro and with a
good season the income from this
crop would be quite heavy. The
pea crop was not a success. Very
few truckers realized more than
the expense incurred in making
and mar keting the crop. This is
practically the last week for
shipping strawberries The price
is so low now as to make
shipments Improbable.

of A. L. Waters & Son Monday
George Hinson sustained ipjur-
les which will keep him in bed
for several days, although no
bones were broken. The ceiling

down. Mr.. Waters was in the
store and got out very hurriedly
and told Hinson to get out of the
way, Hinson did not move quick
enough and the ceiling fell on
his head, carrying him to the
floor. He was quickly rescued
and suffered nothing more than
q few severe bruises.

sheriff doubtless feared they
might attempt something rash,
hence he took Smith to Raleigh
for safer keeping.
