CAPT. STURG|S IS
WINNER OF HONOR
Appears on Program With
Four Generals In Army
ManeuverS

CAPTAIN Conrad Sturgis, in COM
mand of Henderson's Company G, in
fantry unit in the Third Army maneu-
vers in Mississippi won a decided dis
tinction and recognition for his con-
duct and in the management OF MS
men. In an article in today's News and
Observer. Charles Parker, staff cor
respondent with the soldiers in the
maneuvers, had this to say:
Remaining in the concentration
area for police duty is the 10th In
fantry which was honored at the
critique formally ending the maneuv-
ers last night by having one OF It's
Junior officers selected to appear on
the program with four generals.
"The officer was Captain Conrad
Sturgis of Henderson whose company
held strategic point in the front
line after Captain Sturgis exposed
himself to fire and faxed commands
to machine gunners not ready to fire
1.-THE Browns fell for the ruse and
Major General Moseley, commanding
the Third Army, thought so highly OF
the performance that he designated
CAPTAIN Sturgis to represent all Blue
Junior officers on the program. The
Young officer mounted the platform
occupied by generals only and tolt
$500 assembled officers what NJ
thought of the war in manner that
won him hearty applause. One captain

MARKETING QUOTAS
LOOKED FOR DAILY
Temporary Selling Cards
Issued to Very Few Crow
ers In County

Marketing quotas covering allot-
ments to farmers in Vance county as
to the amount of tobacco they will
be allowed to sell during the 1888
season are expected daily now at the
office of County Agent j. w. Sanders,
AAA director for this county, it was
said at that office today. There is
vet some four weeks or more before
the tobacco market here opens, on
Tuesday. September 49, but marketing
quotas are expected to be received
and delivered to all growers in the
county, large and small, well before
the marketing date.
Any grower who sells more tobacco
than is permitted on his quota card
will be fined fifty percent of the a
mount of the sale price, regulation
which has drawn sharp opposition by
growers in the Georgia belt in the
past two weeks, and which has re-
suited in court action in an effort to
prevent operation of the regulation.
It was said at Mr.. Sanders office
TODAY that very few temporary mar
keting cards had been issued to grow
ers in this county. Without making
a definite tabulation, it was estimat-
ed that not more than twenty had
been obtained by growers in this coun-
ty. Six of these were issued in adj
vance of the opening of the Border
Belt markets on August 4, a week ago.
It is now believed that the quotas will
be received here and will be assigned
TO growers before any Of them find, it
desirable or necessary to apply for
temporary marketing cards.
There have been no indications here
of any probable court action to re-
strain collection of the fifty percent
penalty for tobacco sold in excess OF
the allotments assigned. This would
not be likely, however, before the
opening of the sales in this belt, it
was thought, even if any such move
were contemplated by any grower or
group of growers.
