Plans Being Completed
For Opening Leaf Sales
Middle Belt Gets Under Wa Week From Tomorrow,
On Tuesday, September ID; Curing Completed
Except In Rare lnsta noes In The COUNTY

Preparations are rapidly being COM
pleted for the start of the tobacco auc-
ton selling season here a week hence
on Tuesday, September Is, and ware
housemen have built their organiza-
tions and conditioned their floors for
first sales.
Farmers offerings are expected to
begin trickling in by the end of this
week, and heavy breaks are expected
on openig day. A slight drop in price
averages. on Eastern North Carolina
markets last week has been rather
disturbing, but it is believed the I'M
favorable seasons that were so hurt
full in that section may not have been
so damaging here, where most of the
crop was two or three weeks behind
the eastern crop.
Buyers who will be on the local
market for the season will return here
at the end of the present week from
various points in the Border Belt in
preparation for the start of sales Sep
tember 49,
Curing has been completed in this
section, except in rare instances, and
growers will have large quantities of
leaf ready for sale by opening. day.

NEGROES Are Bound Over
For Williamson Staying
Clarence Bracy And lobe Henderson Denied Ball. Third
Man, Alfred Henderson we'd By Defendants
liminary Hearing Wal vered BY Defendants

the two men were bound over to SUI
Lerior court, they were hurried out of
the court room and carried to IMAM
nounced destinations for safe keep
ing pending trial next month in SUI
perior court.
Bracy confessed to the attack on
Williamson a short while after being
arrested He said lobe Henderson
and he both dubbed the farmer over
the head with a dogwood wagon stand
ard as he slept at his tobacco barn.
The standard, with the bark never re-
moved, was in court, but not used in
evidence, as no evidence was offered.
He said robbery was the motive of the
attack, and $500 Williamson had was
missing, and the empty tobacco sack
in which he carried his change was
found lying near his unconscious
form, as was also the wagon standard.
Bracy appeared to be a Negro of
very low mentality. His talk was
slow, and the meaning of the waiv-
ing of preliminary hearing had to be
explained to him. lobe Henderson
was a bit more intelligent. Alfred
Henderson seemed the more intelli
gent of the, three. He exhibited an
air of confidence, with a faint smile
playing across his countenance dur
ing most of the procedure. He had
maintained absolute ignorance Of the
crime from the start. lobe Fender-i
son also denied all connection with it
He and Bracy had been employed on
the Williamson farm in the harvest
ing of tobacco, and Henderson had.
made no effort to get away. He was
arrested at the farm after Bracy's
confession.
