COCAINE SUPPLY TO

Federal Agents Expect to Cut or

Richmond cocaine addicts within

OF federal officers stationed here does
not fail. And there is little danger
of failure, as net Is gradually being
drawn tight about narcotic move
ments
Federal agents during the last few
days have collected much evidence
against certain North Carolina drug
gists and physicians, and shipments
sent To Richmond drug users are fast
straying from THERE routes into hands
OF the agents. AS soon as all evil
dence is collected the men now being
watched will be arrested and tried on
charges OF selling narcotics in viola

While only tentative steps have yet
been taken, ii is probable that the
arrest Of the dope sellers will de-
velop into other arrests-of men who
are retailing dope in its various other
forms. Federal agents were tipped
off to the present sale by an alleged

Down on Mr.. Reuben Johnson's
farm, west or Arab, where the boil
weevil practiced their real tactics
with we'll organized forces, the
fleecy staple is losing some Of its for
mer attractiveness, and the peanut is
gaining no little favor in the eye of
this progressive and leading farmer
of Crisp County.

Weevil has stayed on the job since
the earliest squares formed. BY the
conscientious practice of picking up
of the squares from to 20 times on
all his cotton fields, he has fair
crop of hollis near the bottom Of the
stalks. The dry weather cut the crop
some, but the actual weevil damage
is estimated at fully 30 per cent Not
long since on account of the season,
the squares got scarce for the ar

to think over. Mr. Johnson says that
