Parish Electric Supply Co. Burned

Last Saturday morning at about Z
o'clock fire broke out in the Wallace
building, occupied by Parish Electric
Supply Co., destroying all the elec-
trical equipment carried by this con-
Germ and badly damaging the build.
ing. There were several cars stored
in the building in the rear, which,
owing to the fact that the fire origi-
mated in the front Of the building and
was extinguished before the entire
building was gutted, escaped with on
ly slight damage from fire.
It is understood that the stock de-
stroyed by the fire amounted to about
$1,000 and no insurance was carried
on it. The building, owned by Mr..
R. K. Wallace, however, was partially
covered by insurance.

Washington, Sept. Z6.-Another
powerful and picturesque figure pass
ed from public life in the death to-

of Georgia. His death, which occur

sudden and unexpected according to
physicians, resulting from an attack

acute attack. Two physicians and q
nurse were at the bedside when the
end came, but the widow, who is in

today for the congressional recess.
For forty years Senator Watson
had been active in politics, national

elected senator, as he said, on an
"anti-Wilson, antI-League (of Ma
tions) and anti-war measures" plat
form, defeating former Senator Hoke
Smith and former Governor Dorsey.
He was 66 years of age September

have expired March 3, 1927.
The remains were taken to his Geor-
gia home for interment.

BALLOON FORCED TO LAND.
Decision at Edgmoor-Moonshiners
Believed to Have Fired On.

Rock Hill, Sept.-A naval balloon
en- route from Norfolk to points on
the Gulf coast, was forced down near
Edgmoor, Chester county, Wednesday
ard the big bag was shipped back
to Norfolk. According to meager re-
ports received here, band Of alleg-
ed moonshiners fired a number OF
shots at the big bag while the bal
loon was passing over territory near
Monroe, N. c., and the observation
party of five thought it possible that
some of the bullets penetrated the
bag and allowed the gas to escape,
thus accounting for their forced de-
scent. The party of five officers were
entertained by Mr.. and Mrs. S. Z.
Clinton of this county, near whose
home the balloon landed.

Big CROWDSATTEND
TOBACCO OPENINGS
GROWERS PLEASED ON Is
FLOORS-RESTRAINING ORDERS
START-LEGAL ACTION.

The opening Of the warehouses Of
the Tobacco Growers Cooperative
Association at 18 markets of central
North Carolina last week was COM
pletely successful when 100000
pounds were delivered by organized
growers and a substantial increase
in cash advances was made by the
association.
Great crowds attended the opening
of the cooperative warehouses at Ok
ford, Henderson and Durham. At
Durham the crowd literally filled the
warehouse and at ~Roxboro where
rs 900 pounds were delivered the open
ing was marked by prayer for the
success of the farmers in their effort
to obtain the fair reward of their
labor through the association. Good
deliveries have continued since the
opening day,
Manager Richard R. Patterson of
the leaf department addressed the
member growers at Roxboro telling
them of the successful sales made
by the association and personally
supervised the grading and handling
of the weed at Durham, Oxford and
Roxboro where the uniform grades
and orderly handling of from sixty
to eighty thousand pounds delighted
the, grower members.
Festival spirit and thanksgiving
attended the smaller markets also.
At Fuquay Springs, Sanford and
Roxboro, deliveries ran from $4,000
to $4,000 pounds each, and record
breaking crowds witnessed the sue
cessful start of cooperative market
ing at these places.
More than 300 new members from
central and western North Carolina
have signed the marketing contract
for tobacco since the big Cooperative
opened 18 more markets last week.
The organized Virginia growers with
a large majority sign up expect to
add another thousand members to
the association before their markets
open in October.
The Tobacco Cooperative started
legal action to protect the contracts
of $4,000 loyal members last We'd
nesday when it obtained a restrain
ing order against 2. A. Harrell OF
Edgecombe county, and w. T. Jones
of Nash county, to prevent these al
legged contract breakers from deliv-
ering any more Of their tobacco out
side of the association. Judge c. c.
Lyon, holding court in Wake county,
issued the restraining order which
was forwarded to Nashville and serv-
ed without delay upon the defendants.
the order is made returnable before
Judge Frank Daniels, holding court
in Nashville, Monday, October 9Th.
2. A. Harrell, of Macclesfeld, who
signed up 25,OO0 pounds of tobacco
and w. T. Jones of Nashville, who
signed up over 10000 pounds are
alleged in the complaint Of the as
ISOLATION in violation of the contract.
The summons filed in these first
suits of the tobacco cooperatives calls
for liquidated damages of five cents
a pound for all tobacco sold outside
of the association as provided In It's
contract with all members, also Tor
attorneys fees of $3.50 in each case
The association has instituted SIM
liar suits against F. w. Fairey, OF
Kingstree, and L. T. Leitner OF Ma
rion, and has obtained restraining
orders to prevent further deliveries
of their tobacco, according to r. L.
Wilcox, attorney for the association
in South Carolina.

"The County Record"


Upon my return home from the
bedside of my sick wife, who had for
five weeks been desperately i'll in
Hendersonville, North Carolina, | was
astonished and mortified to learn that,
during my absence, the Tobacco Grow
ers' Cooperative Association had
commenced proceedings against me
alleging the breach of my pledge as
one of it's members and asking for
an injunction to restrain me from
selling my tobacco on the independent
market and was shocked and humili-
ated to ascertain that the Association
had given to their action so much
unnecessary publicity, through the
newspapers. l, therefore, in behalf
of myself and in consideration of my
friends throughout this section Of the
state, take this means of explaining
the matter. | am not conscious OF
having in anywise violated my agree
ment. / have not sold one pound Of
my 1922 tobacco in an Independent
warehouse. The only tobacco which
was grown by me in 1922 that has
left my farm is 856 pounds which l
delivered to the Association in Kings
tree. The balance of my tobacco is
now stored on my farm being graded
and prepared for delivery to the AS
sociation and will be delivered as
soon as it is in proper shape.
I have a great many tenants on my
place who rent my land and who are
furnished by me. Some Of these are
members of the Association and some
are not. One of them, negro, Nero
Chandler, a member of the Associa-
ton, in good faith, pursuant to his
agreement brought 1,02O pounds OF
tobacco to the Association. 1t was
graded and an advance Of $1,000,
which is supposed to be one-third OF
the total valuation, was rendered him.
He was dissatisfied with the grading
and took it to Lake City and sold 1t
on the Independent floor for S174.23
and offered to pay the association the
five cent per pound penalty. The
statements in the complaint are made
upon information and belief and l
presume the above is the information
upon which the action is based. The
negro's agreement with the Assocla-
ton is entirely independent from mine
and the Association has done me a
great wrong in bringing the action
charging me with breach OF my
contract and having its charges pub
lished in the two leading daily news
papers of the State and number OF
county papers. 1 have not preached
nv contract in the slightest respect
I do not think that the Association
will promote the cause Of the farmer
or do itself any good by bringing
suits on unreliable information
against men who have not violated
their agreement.

800 Mics On One Gallon of Oil

Three hundred miles - an sutomo-
bile on gallon of fuel costin, FIVE
and on,-half cents, is the claim II. n
Elmer, treasurer and general manager
Of the Globe Malleable Iron and Steel
company of Syracuse, y Y, makes for
an engine designed by himself and re.
vealed to the directorate of the COMPANY
at its annual meeting.
internationally known engineering
experts, including Arthur West. chief
engineer of the Bethlehem Steel Cor.
poraiion, have inspected Mr.. Elmer's
engine, and are said TO have pronounc-
ed it hundreds Of years ahead of the
times.
Three full-Sized models were tested
before the directors. One of the mod.
els, one-cylinder three horsepower
engine, ran continuously for is hours
en- one and one-quarter pints of fuel,
the directors stated.
The fuel used is oil, either mineral
animal or vegetable. No ignition or
carburetor is used. One of Mr.. Elmer's
models has attained a speed of from
$500 to 5000 revolutions a minute
he claims. The principle of the dis.
covery is based on the chemistry of
oil, according to Mr.. Elmer.
A committee to arrange for the i'm.
mediate development of the engine
was appointed by the company direc.
tors.
