Tobacco Warehouse Code

code committee, that Representative
Flanagan, author of the bill asked
the question if the warehousemen
could make sufficient money to pay
truckers to haul tobacco, why not re-
duce the fees to sell tobacco, and save
the farmers that much? Mr. Lanier
said that he was appealing to the
warehousemen to assist him in en-
forcing the law hiatt all might prove
to the administration that they pro-
posed to work to the end. that the
industry would truly be self-regula-
tory.
Mr.. Lanier told the warehousemen
they must see that the scales are fire.
quntly balancd in order to guarantee
fari weights to the farmer. He told
them to secure two twenty-five pound
weights, one fifty pound weight and
one hundred pound weight, and these
weights could be used at any time to
ascertain whether their scales were
correct.
All the baskets must be numbered
and the number of the baskets will
correspond with the customers num-
Der on the farmers bills, floor tags,
the check and through the entire ope-
ration of selling customr's tobacco.
Wighers must be licensed, and they
must be capable of taking care of
the work in a proper manner.
The sale of tobacco must not run
more than $50 piles per hour, and the
sales must not slack up in the morn
ing, and be speeded up in the after
noon in order to catch up. When
sales are faster than $50 piles an hour
it means the buyers are guessing and
not sufficient attention is paid to the
quality by the buyers, he said.

liquor.
Only one of the whole number was
charged with operating his automo-
bile while the driver was under the
influence of liquor. The thing that
worried Chief Barbour was the mag
nitude of the traffic in liquor as it is
reflected in these drlCnks. More than
half these offenses were directly
traced to liquor, and nearly all the
remaining ones were linked with it.
Raleigh and Wake county voted dry.
The police helped to carry both the
city and the county. Chief Barbour
declares that he is up against it.
The capture of the drunks aud the
rowdies is just a small part of the
problem. For every drunk and down,
there are probably ten who are not
so badly off and many of them may
be driving cars. And at that highway
and public works officials do not be-
lieve that most of the wrecks are
caused by the drunken drivers.
Such conditions as the police docket
reflect will doubtless play some part
in whatever liquor legislation is pro-
posed at the next session of the Gen
eral. Assembly. The United Dry
Forces with headquarters in Raleigh
are making fight to defeat any leg
islation offered at the next session,
but should Virginia, South Carolina
and Tennessee show improvement
with their most recent enactments,
then North Carolina, many Democrats
believe would be driven to some sort
of regulation. The police of Raleigh
frankly are unable to understand this
orgy of drinking which fills the
courts with their Saturday night and
Sunday revelry.

 "Of course, no person who thinks twice will believe silly tales of that kind.

It has been shown over period of years that the land these families are using for agriculture ought not, for the best economic purposes. be used for agriculture"

Fort Worth, Tex (UP)-One of the prize replicas of the old south Vest Is a picture hanging in the Qffice of Tom Slack here-about 1t woven one of the Vests most glamorous stories.
 The picture Is that of Jim Court right, whose clever escape from Arizona Rangers made his name a household word here in the from tier days.
 Courtright was marshal here at the time involved. He was highly esteemed, a favorite of Fort Worth.
 Before coming here he allegedly killed man in Arizona. Arizona rangers came to Fort Worth to take Courtright. When they took him to the railway station to te- tiirn to Arizona they found mob of citizens gathered there.
 The citizens demanded Court rights release. The rangers re- fused. Finally, however, the rang CTS agre deto permit the citizens to give a farewell banquet for Court night. That was their undoing.
 sThe citizens gave the banquet at a hotel During the course of diu- rfer Courtright reached under the table and found two pistols, which had been begged there for his con- venience.
 Then he rose from his place, covered the Arizona rangers, back ed out of the banquet room and made his getaway on a horse that had been brought for him.
 tAfter things ''quieted" down, Courtright returned to Fort Worth to resume his duties as an officer. His career was short-llved, how ever. He was shot to death by the osyner of a gambling house.

 The senate, undergoing a purg- ing at the time-this was in 1926 -refused to permit Ware to take his seat, charging he had bought his election through excess ex- penditures. The decision so dis appointed the leader that his health was seriously affected and for time 1t was thought ho would die. In 1928 he suffered stroke, and again his life was despaired of.
 From that defeat, too, Ware lost much political ground, and his machine began to crumble beneath him. Although he was elected na- tional committeeman, his heart was not in his work, and lesser lead CTS pulled away from him.
 His Last Whipping
 The final blow came when his own candidates were disastrously whipped in the last municipal election, under an avalanche of democratic votes.
 Wares last illness became acute last Saturday. He had made trip to Philadelphia, and appeared to be suffering from the heat. When he returned to Atlantic City, his physicians ordered him to bed.
 Late yesterday it was reported Ware was convalescing, and his condition early to-day was reported as favorable. An attack of indigestion struck him down at II a. m.. however, and within few minutes the end came.

 Was Called Too Late
 "And when the kaiser's orders called him-unfortunatel too late-to the supreme command of the entire army, he succeeded in turning German resistance to attack and to unheard of victo- ries.
 Through a fulfllment of his duty, blessed by God, the old field marshal was able to lead our regiments and divisions from victory to victory, and pin lasting laurels on their banners.
 And then the leader retired, he whose life had been entered for all time into the book which is called world history.
 Was Final Triumph
 'It was the final triumph for the old gentleman that the na- tional Germany in 1925 raised the soldier of the World war to the presidency of the Reich.
 "It is one of the most won- derful guidances of providence that under the presidency of this greatest of soldiers and servants of the ideals of our nation, prep arations could be made and the portals finally opened for the re- surrection of the nation.
 "As president of the Reich and field marshal he became the guardian of the national social ist revolution, and thus of the rebirth of the nation.
 Tt is now 20 years since from this spot bells rang out for the first time in all Germany extoll- ing the general field marshal. To- day the nation, to the sound of the death bells, brings back the dead old man to the scene of his unique victory; here in the minds of the slumbering grenadiers of his victorious regiment, rests the commander of this last great headquarters of the east.
 The banners and flags stand on eternal parade, but the Ger man people will come to it's dead hero in order to get from him new strength for its life.
 When the last remains of this body are no more, the name will still always survive.
