JOHN B. LOWRY
LITTLE
OF HIS PAROLE

John b. Lowry, Jr.. OF this
city, paroled by Governor Nc
Lean in the midst of d long
sentence ior first degree bur
glary. continues to abuse his
parc'c and probably will go
back to State Prison unless his
parole was granted for reasons
unknown to the public.
\ warrant issued for young
Lowry this week charges him with
drunkenness and diSOrderly conduct
and he is to be tried in the County
Court Saturday morning. He went
on drunken rampage Saturday
night. It is not his first Offense
against the peace and dignity of the
State since he was parOleh: only a
few weeks ago he created stir
in the town at late hour of the
night by sounding an alarm that
burglars were loOting the Carolina
Banking 4 Trust Go. He was not
arrested then; kindly policeman
led hSr home and advised him to
20 to bed. At other times he has
made himself Il nuisance by preach
ing on the streets. He has had no
visible means of support since he
WAS released from the State Prison.
Jul i B. Lowry, Jr. and his broth
or Fulton Lowry were two of the
most audaciOuS and enterpriSing
ycung criminals ever riatched III
Eastern North Carolina. They
spread terror among the town folk
here for number of years before
they were finally successfully i'll
carcprated. They committed bur
glarieS without number, not only in
Elizabeth City but in other towns in
Eastern North Carolina and Tide
wafer Virginia.
Arrested and jailed, they would
invariably break Jail. disappear for
Il SeaSt and return to Elizabeth
city rob more homes and stores.
Finally they were captured and SO
carefully guarded that they were
brought to trial in the Superior
Court and given long terms in State
Prison. Fulton Lowry made his
escape from the penitentiary, le.rr-
ing John by himself. John immedi-
atcIy began to pose AZ a gOt Il boy
who wanted to reform and won his
way into the cuafldence of his keep
erS. Thru the efforts of his brother
Robert Lowry. who is practicins law
in this city. he was parOled. He
was parOlrd uuUn representations
that he had reformed and wanted
M opportunity to redeem his past.
He has been lOafcr on the town
ever since he was parOletl. When
questioned aS to what he is doing
for ii livelihood, he invariably re-
piles: I'm c'lecting for Brother
BObcrt." Whether he is collecting
accounts ar likely clients for his
brother is not revealed by his
answer.

Production of l1.451.577 Lbs.
Sets Record; Exports Are
Negligible

Washington, Nov. 14.-(Pl-To-
bacco experts at the department Of
agriculture are trying to figure out
what becomes of the snuff manu-
featured in this country.
They find it hard to credit their
own estimates that 10 per cent Of
the American people sniff or chew
about four pounds of the pungent
powder each year.
Since 1880. when little less than
100000 pounds was manufactured,
production of snuff has mounted
steadily. For the year ending June
30, the production was 41,i51,577
pounds and the departments records
show that exports are negligible.
Old Theory Advanced
James V. Morrow, tobacco mar
keting specialist at the department,
advances the theory that the nation
is accepting the views of sixteenth
century physicians that snuff has a
medicinal value in that it causes the
user to snceze the cobwcbs from his
brain.
Morrow admits that 10 per cent
seems too large figure, but would
like to know how anyone could con-
sumo much more than four pounds
in a year without staying awake
nights.
Possibly the day is at hand when
snuff-taking will assume it's former
place as one Of the fine arts. At
least there is a strong precedent for
this. says Morrow, sketching the his
tory of the tobacco plant since 1859,
the reputed date of it's introduction
into Europe by Spanish court
physician.
Prohibited in Church
Friar Romano Pane, who accom-.
panied Columbus on his second WOW.
age, noted the Indians use of a
"herbe which they reduce to DUST"
Morrow writes from his delving into
old books; and it was in the form of
snuff that tobacco was transplanted
to the old world.
"The use of snuff became SO popu-
lar that Pope Urban VIII in 1924
issued bull of communication
against those who used it during
church services because snuffing and
sneezing Interrupted the religious
ceremonies. Use Of snuff spread to
England, Scotland and Ireland, and
in the eighteenth century, snuff-tak-
ing became the fashion, the lords
and ladies taking it in pinches and
the scullions and clerks in handfuls
Etiquette Rules Set
Early authors on etiquette set up
II separate operations that courtiers
were required to observe when tax
ing snuff lest they be labeled un.
gentlemanly. These included:
Sniff it with precision by both
nostrils without grimace," and, fin
ally, "sneeze, spit and wipe your
nose
Snuff today is made from the best
quality dark tobacco. in contrast to
the refuse and scraps used in former
days. High quality seeming and
f1avoring ingredients are used, and
the leaves undergo a complex fer
mentation process.
In the senate chamber in the cap
itol are two dark wood boxes, the
official snuff receptacles for the
chamber. They are kept filled, al
though it is not on record that any
OF the legislators used them.

GRAIN VALUES
UP WITH RUSH
Bullish Canadiah Government
Crop Report Causes High
Record Gains

Chicago, Nov. 14.-(AP)-Owing
largely to the surprising bullish
character of the Canadian govern
ment report, all grain values here
went up with a rush early today.
Corn and oats scored a new high
price record for the season. Open
ing at l cent to IL cents advance,
wheat rose little further in some
cases, and then reacted to moder-
ate extent. Corn started 1sc to 11sc
higher, and subsequently held near
to the initial range. Provisions like
wise slanted upward.
Wheat prices made a quick re-
spouse today to the fact that the
official estimates Of 1928 wheat
production in Canada showed a re-
duction Of 100000 bushels from
the Canadian governments latest
previous forecast and 100000
bushels under grain dealers figures.
Bullish sentiment regarding wheat
YVES also stimulated by reports that
domestic winter wheat acreage is
than in 1927 and the plant
not so good as at this time
last year. There was also talk that
a poor quality of milling wheat is
indicated for northern Argentina,
and that this is especially important
as European buyers have been de-
laying purchases of North American
wheat hoping for better quality
crop surplus in Argentina.
Under favorable weather in the
corn belt together with only limited
country offerings added forced to
the decided upward trend shown at
times by the corn market. Distant
deliveries both of corn and oats
went above any quotations hereto
