THE PICNIC AT FERRELL'S
- SCHOOL HOUSE

The picnic at Ferrell's> school
house in Black Creek township which
was held last week was a most en-
joyable event. Not only was there
barbecue, chicken, and other good
things in profusion but there were a
number of speeches from prominent
and distinguished speakers who high
ly entertained and edited the large
Gumber of people, some 500 who
gathered to enjoy the hospitality of
the good people of that section.
The picnic was initiated and given
by the cooperative marketing Asso-
citation of Black Creek township
which has gone over the top with
the minimum number of SIGNATURES.
This township is the first in Wilson
township to do this. The Farmers
Union of Black Creek township and
the teachers of the Sunday school
were also parties to the enterprise,
as well as a number of others assist
ed in making the picnic the huge
success that it was
DR.. Temple of Raleigh, one of the
officers of the Farmers Union deliy-
cred very interesting address on
the progress of the Farmers Union,
and gave very interesting account
OF the aims and purposes and the
progress made by that organization.
Mr.. B. Troy Ferguson, farm dem
cnstrator for Wilson county gave an
interesting talk on the Cooperative
Marketing Association, and said that
it had grown exceedingly in the past
sixty days, and that the plan to or
ganize the tobacco and cotton
crops in order to hold them and not
force them on the market, thereby
beatin gthe price dwon was woving
along with great strides, and that the
movement was growing in volumes
every day.
Cotton, he said is over the top in
The daily times., 1921-09-05

North Carolina, and that the tobac-
&C crop has received nearly enough
signatures to make the movement a
success.
Mr.. l.. Z. Newsome superinten-
dent Of the Sunday school at Ferrell s
thanked all who par
ticipated in giving the picnic, and
provided a bountiful feast which
had been so thoroughly enjoyed by
all present.
In the afternoon there was game
CT baseball between teams from Lu-
CANA and Great Swamp, resulting in
a score of to 8, in Lucama's favor.
The only feature that marred the
pleasure of the day was an accident
10 Mr.. George Moore who was catch
ing for Lucama. One of the play
ers slung a bat as he started to run
which struck Mr.. Moore on the arm.
He was not badly hurt.

FINANCING FARM PRODUCTS

Mr.. l.. S. TomIinson has returned
from Washington and New YORK
where he held conferences with
bankers and cotton factors and ap-
peared with Mr.. Wannamaker, Pres
ident of the American Cotton Asso-
citation before the Congressional
Committee reviewing the work OF the
Reserve Board with which our read
ers are familiar.
The Committee was told that the
discount rate should be r educed TO
four and a half per cent, the rate
which existed before the war, when
it. was raised for the purpose Of
bringing about defation.
The committee was also asked to
use it's good offices to have the re-
four per cent on Liberty bonds which
are used as collateral in borrowing
money.
The Board was asked to take down
the danger sign and say that defia-
ton is over and that we are now
ready for prosperity.
Mr.. TomIinson says that Mississip-
ri has secured through the War FL
nance Board five millions of dollars
for the purpose of financing the cot
ton crop until a profitable price can
be reached. Texas has secured nine
millions, Oklahoma six millions and
about twenty millions additional
from other sources. This makes a
total of about forty millions of dol
lars from all sources Savannah has
secured five million dollars for this
purpose.
North Carolina seems to be slow
er in getting money than any other
state to finance her crops. Green's
boro banks it is understood have
banded together and secured a half
million dollars.
Under the original Kellogg bill
which has been somewhat changed
the War Finance Board is empow-
cred to lend billion dollars to
finance farm products. The bill pro-
vides that bankers may add togetheri
their notes advanced IN farm pro-
ducts in warehouses properly stored
and insured, sixty per cent of the !
value at the time the loan is made.
The rate for the money loaned shall !
not exceed the rediscount rate of the !
reserve board.

WIFE CONFESSES
KILLING WHITLEY

| Snow Hill, Sept. 3.-The mystery
surrounding the death of W. L. Whit
! ley, prominent Walstonburg farmer
who was killed at a tobacco barn on
his farm on the night of August 6,
was cleared up this afternoon when
Greene County authorities held Mrs.
Sarah Whitley, wife of the deceased,
Thomas Hayes, neighbor, and
Wright Rouse, one-armed negro on
charges of murder following their
confession that they conspired to kill
Mr.. Whitley. All three were lodged
in the Greene county jail without
bail
According to their statement Mrs.
Whitley and Hayes, with whom the
woman is said to have been infat-
uated, induced the negro to commit
the crime in consideration of $500.
which has never been paid by them.
All are being held without bail. A
statement duplicating herself and
Hayes and Rouse was made by Mrs.
Whitley to the authorities after a
tWelve-hour session of the coroner's
jury which has been investigating the
case during the past several weeks.
No threats of violence against the
prisoners have been reported so far
MRS. Whitley, who is 81 years old,
apparently does not realize the seri-
BUSINESS of the charge against her. it
was said.
In both Investigations before the
coroner's jury Mrs. Whitley had
shown a strong bearing. However.
after her friends and the crowd had
left, she wavered and under sharp
questioning by Deputies E. H. suggs,
z. E. Potter and c. E. Jones, later
assisted by Sheriff J. E. Herring. she
broke down and confessed, telling
that her husband was killed by
: wright Rouse, one armed negro
freak doctor and fortune teller. in
consideration of $500, which has not
oeen paid, however She also said
that Wright Rouse was induced to
commit the crime by herself and
d nelghbor, Tom Hayes, with whom
sne is said to have been Infatuated
and with whom she was indicted. but
acquitted on statutory charge in
the GREENE county court about a year
ago Hayes was said to have taken
the negro to the place where Mr..
WnltIey was killed on the nipbt of
August s.

DID NOT HAVE ROOM FOR THEM

Late Saturday afternoon the sheriff
of Green county phoned to Sheriff
Howard asking permission to place
the defendants charged with the muir
der of Whitley in the Wilson jail. He
replied that he did not have room
for them here as our jail is already
congested. 1t was thought that the
reason for the application for admis-
sion here was on account of the feel
ing against the prisoners in Greene
county.

WEATHER MAY BE TOO ROUGH

Atlantic City, Sept 5.-Doubt
was expressed here early in the day
as to whether President Harding and
his party would be able, because of
the weather conditions to carry out
their plans to spend labor day in
Atlantic City. A stiff northwest
wind has been blowing off the coast
and unless it moderates a landing
will be difficult.
