Those Queer Authors

Pendleton Hogan, author Of
the novel, "The Bishop of
Havana" was speaking at the
Arts Club chatting dish supper
t'other eve and announced he
would answer any questions.
One man asked:
''If you think of something
in the middle of the night, do
you get up and write it DOWN."
One of those sweet, elderly
ladies who always are inquisi-
tive and have excellent ques-
t1ons to PROFOUND demanded:
mister Hogan, where do you
get your imaginatiOn?"
Hogan, who, by the way, is
starting another book, never
studied Spanish despite the
fact that his first novel con-
tains numerous phrases from
the language of Spain.

Costly Victory

A young nurse, unable to OBJ
tain enough money to support
her baby, appealed to the
Juvenile Court recently to es-
tablish the paternity of the
child and force the father. a
young lawyer, to contribute to
its upkeep.
A jury agreed as to its pa
ternity after accepting evidence
which included testimony that
the youthful attorney had prom
1Sed to marry the nurse.
Today the nurse is without
means of livelihood.
The nurses registry learned
of the case and scratched the

Now Ready
On Tobacco
F Farmers With Excess
Produ Can
Swap on Georgia
Growers Titles

Contracts of Georgia tobacco grow
ers, under which an exchange agree
ment may be made by growers in
this section for disposing of their sur
plus tobacco over and above their own
agreements are now available and
those desiring to make the exchanges
are advised to consult with j. W..
Sanders, county agent, that official
said today.
Under a ruling of the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration, this ex-
change has been made possible. The
crop was very short in Georgia. In
this territory some tobacco acreage
produced more than individual grow
ers were allotted under tEair con-
tracts, even though acreage planted
was in line with the agreements
signed with the AAA. Because of
the short crop in other belts, the ag-
gregate 1884 tobacco yield will be
slightly under expectations. In or
der to permit growers with excess
poundage to dispose of it without
paying the high penalty taxes, it has
been ruled that an exchange agree
ment can be made with Georgia grow
ers whose crop was far under their
allotment, and the surplus here can
in that way be disposed of
The local. growers with excess
poundage would pay the Georgia
grower with whom he made the agree
ment small percent of what the
surplusage brought for the right to
sell in his name
E. Y. Floyd, who led the tobacco
sign-up in the State, has advised Mr..
Sanders that arrangements have been
made for these exchanges and all
growers here who find it necessary to
fer at once with the county farm
sell in this manner are asked to con-
agent.

HUDSON TO STAGE
RUGGEDNESS RUN
Will Test Stamina of Hud-

cult Drive Through
Five States

A ruggedness run embracing a
tough 1850 mile circuit through North
Carolina. Tennessee, Alabama, Geor-
gia and South Carolina will be start
ec early in October by the Hudson
Motor Car Company, 1t was announc-
ed today by Harris Motors, local
dealers. A Hudson-Terraplane which
will be selected at random from
among owners of 1884 models will be
driven continuously over the route
night and day for a period of two
weeks. All sorts of roads are includ-
ed in the run which has been laid out
as a real demonstration of the stam-
ina and ruggedness of the car. A
years hard driving will be concen-
trated in the two-week period
Three shifts of drivers will be en-
ployed. These men will be of aver
age type and not professional or race
drivers. Performance demonstrations
are included in the program along the

three days.

form interested observers and specta-
tors of the progress of the run and
will tell of the projected arrival of the
car in different towns along the route.
Not only will the car be selected
from among Hudson-Terraplane. own
ers by drawing, but owners will also
be given an opportunity to name the
car to win cash award and later to
write a slogan descriptive of the run
to be used in future advertising. Win

prizes. The car will be painted con-
spicuously with its name and the
roads over which it passes will be in
dicated by route markers.

MERCHANTS URGED
TO BEAUT|Fy SIGNS
Argument Is That 1t Would
Help Their Business
to Modernize

Agitation for beautifying of busi-
ness signs in the retail district of
Garnett street continues, and city
authorities are hoping that there will
be so much cooperation on the part
of the business people that it will not
be necessary to adopt a new ordin-
ance to bring the general appearance
of store fronts into line with the at
tractiveness and beauty of the street
since it has been re-paved and the
white way system installed.
1t was pointed out today by mem
ber of the city administration that if
would pay a business to modernize its
front and it's signs. Unsightly boards
hanging out across the sidewalk do
not enhance the appeal to customers
for any concern, it was commented
But where there is a front freshJv
painted, neat and attractive, with a
tone, shoppers and patrons are mora
business sign in keeping with that
likely to stop in and trade, it was oh
served.
Many citizens feel that Garnet
street business houses should take
unto themselves a pride in the i'm
provements already provided and
should enhance the appearance of
their own property in line with that
advancement. They think it would
be to the best interests of the store
and the city alike from all angles.

may see many changes of this char
acter all along the citys main busi-
ness thoroughfare.

28 DIVORCES WAIT
COURT IN OCTOBER
Calendar for Civil Term Has
Been Printed with
Daily Listings

A total of % divorce actions are
dOcketed for hearing on the first day
of the coming civil session of the Oc-
tobcr term of Vance Superior Court,
it was revealed today in the appear
ance of the printe dcalendar for that
term. There was no way to discern
from the printed docket just how
many are colored and how many white
couples.
Only three other cases appear on
the civil slate for the first day of the
second week, so that it now appears
likely the whole day may be given
over to divorce trials, if it requires
that long to dispose of them.
The October term of court opens on
next Monday, October 1, with Judge
Walter L. Small, of Elizabeth CITY.
presiding. The first week will be
for trial of criminal cases, and the
most serious offense listed so far is
a homicide case, but it is not expect
ed to take up a great deal of the
courts time. The docket probably can
be cleared during the week allotted
for criminal actions, after which the
civil calendar will be taken UP the
second week. Judge Small is also
hold that term.
In addition to the divorce actions,
there are comparatively few civil
suits pending. The calendar shows
no provision made for trials after
wednesday of that week, other than
the motion docket.
