.LAURINBURC
GRID TEAM
BEATS LOCALS

A Larrinburg football team
that coupled spirit, talent and
the breaks defeated the Tabor
City Red Devils 1910 at Civitan
Field here Friday night in the
first gridiron battle of the sea-
son.
Taking advantage of a tumble
on an attempted punt return in
the first two minutes of the
game, Laurinburg smashed over
from the five yard line for an
early score and led 60 from that
point until the dying minutes
of the game. Late in the fourth
quarter after an extended pass
ing game carried the ball far
into Red Devil territory, the Scot
land county aggregation punched
another touchdown over from
the two yard line.
Tabor City showed the better
ground attack throughout the
game but never had that final
punch into paydirt. Costly fun
bles were largely responsible for
the locals failure to score.
Early in the fourth quarter,
Tabor City missed a golden op-
portunity to score when a per-
feet pass play was executed eX-
cept for the failure of the receiv-
er to hang on to the ball. This
play would have tied up the ball
game had it been completed and
had there not been a holding
penalty on the play. This was
the last time the Red Devils
seriously threatened.
Following the failure to cash
in on that particular pass play,
Laurinburg began march down
the field, primarily through the
air, that eventually ended in the
second score of the evening.
The game was hard fought
affair by both teams and was an
exhibition of some of the best
high school football in the state.
There were numerous minor in
juries during the game and one
major injury when Halfback Alb
ernathy of Laurinburg suffered
a broken arm early in the first
quarter.

Pireway Bridge Gets
Final Army Approval

The much sought after Pire-
way Bridge on the county road
between Pireway and Regain has
been approved by Army Engin-
GERS in Washington and in doing
so has cleared the last hurdle
and will be open for bids on
September 26, the North Carolina
State Highway commission an.
nounced this week.
The bridge which will give
Brunswick county citizens easy
access to Tabor City has been
sought by local persons for years.
When it was officially approved
by the Army's engineers in Char
lesion, S. c., on August %, it was
felt that there would be no fur
Their obstacles. However, the
plans for the bridge did have to
be approved by Washington.
That approval has now been re-
ceived by the state highway COM
mission.
Funds are already al!ocated for
the project and bids will be
sought on the project September
26. Completion of the bridge pro-
ject is expected before spring.
Specifications also have been
advertised on A other road jobs
throughout the state, many of
them financed by the $20O,0OO,-
ono bond issue program. If salts
factory bids are received, the
State Highway Commission will
award contracts for the As pro-
jects at its next regular meeting
on September 20.
Almost 5000 miles of road al
ready have been paved under the
Highway Commissions accelerat-
ed roadbuilding program which
began last summer. Because OF
a mild winter and the available
ity of labor and materials, the
roadbuilding program has pro,
crossed more rapidly than ex'
pected, according to DR.. Henry
w. Jordan, highway chairman. If
good weather holds up, DR.. Jor-
dan says more roads will be
paved during 1850 than during
any previous year in the history
of the State Highway Commits
sion.

County Gets us
Miles Paved Roads

The State Highway Commits
sion has paved It's miles of Sec
ondary roads and made numer.
Gus other highway improvements
in Columbus County since the
start of the accelerated road con.
struction program last summer.
The $20O,OOO,OOO bond issue
financed most of the secondary
road mileage along with regular
highway funds. In addition, the
Commission surfaced highway
connections in Chadbourn, Tabor
City, Fair Bluff and Whiteville
and did extensive work on the
primary highway system. This is
only part of the total program
planned for Columbus County
during the next two years, &C.
cording to A. Wilbur Clark,
Third Division highway commits,
sioner.
Newly paved secondary roads
opened to the public in Columbus
County during the last II months
are as follows:
From Williams School on US
701 to Mollie, Al miles; From
Tabor City to Guideway School,
1872; From end of pavement SIS
miles south of NC 100 via Nakina
to Bug Hill, g.; From the Britt
Place on US 701 to NC 40 near
Oakdale, Sc; From NC 40 at
Oakdale via Mt. Olive School to

Columbus County's share of
the first S125,OO0,000 in bond
funds is S1,792,125. With the ex-
ception of $737,O32, this amount
has been allocated to specific
work in the county. The Second
airy Road Bond Act as passed by
the General Assembly divided
the bond money equitably among
the 100 counties.
The cost of road construction
Under the secondary program is
less than expected by the State
Highway Commission and conse-
quently more mileage of roads
may be paved under the program
than was expected in many areas.
AS of July 1, 1850 about one
fifth of the proposed Scott paw
ing program had been finished
throughout the state.

Leaf Market Has Best Year Since AZ

The Tabor City tobacco market
closed last Friday showing its
greatest season since 1947 in so
far as poundage is concerned and
the greatest season in history in
so far as average price is con.
cerned.
The market this season sold a
total of 7,804,5O2 pounds of to-
bacco for a total amount of
money of $4,333, 2S0.4S. This
shows a market average for the
season on total sales of $55.5
the highest seasonal average in
the history of the market.
The sales this year topped last
years poundage by 607,522
pounds and was 1924, 140 pounds
more than was sold here in 1913.
All told, it was one of the best
seasons for the Tabor City to-
bacco market in it's history of
expansion.
Sales Supervisor w. Horace
Carter said this week II want to
take this opportunity of thank
ing every person who sold tobac-
co here and to invite you back
next season. Your fine patronage
and cooperation has been appre-
ciated. You made it possible for
us to show progress over 1949
and that was the goal all year."
A. E. Goldfinch President of
the Tabor City Merchants Asso-
citation, said" On behalf of the
merchants of Tabor City, I am
am happy to express our appreci-
alton to good farmers in this area
who sold their tobacco in Tabor
City this year. We have always
cooperated with the tobacco mar
ket in Tabor City and are proud
of the record set here during the
1850 season."
Much confusion existed the
last week as to just what date
the market was actually going
to close. 1t was originally offici'
ally announced that the market
would close after Fridays sales,
but so much tobacco remained
unsold in the area that some
warehousemen wanted to remain
open part of this week. After
reaching an agreement to that
effect and after the announce
ment was made that the market
would be open, two buyers re-
ceived orders to move elsewhere
and off the market. In the inter
est of farmers who sell their
tobacco here, it was not deemed
advisable to continue sales with
out the buying competition that
has been present all season.
Announcements to this effect
were made but not before many
farmers had become confused as
to just what the Tabor City
market was going to do in light
of all the conflicting reports.
Il feel badly about all the con-
flicting reports in regard to when
the market was closing that we
circulated last week." Sales Sup
ervisor Carter said. "But every
announcement wsg made in good
faith and EXCEPTION last minute
buyer changes, the confusion
would not have existed. We did
not want to stay open without
representative buyers because
this tends to lower the price
farmers get for their tobacco.
When it became evident that to
remain open would in actuallity
be hurting the farmer, the mar
ket closed up tight. This market
operates on a theory Of doing
everything possible TO help the
farmer and when a development
arises that tends to hurt the
farmers chances of fair price,
YOU can rest assured the local
tobacco men will oppose the

Hawaii Prepares
Reception For
President Truman

HONOLULU, Oct. 12.-CR)-
The cheerful islands of Hawaii
are getting set to give President
Truman the full treatment when
he stops off on the way to his
rendezvous with Macarthur.
The President will be in Ha-
waii only a few hours. But some
local boosters believe they'll be
able to get in a word abort state
hood for the islands anyway.
The President has expressed
enthusiasm for this proposal IN
the past and the islanders be-
lieve he may have something
nice to say about it while he is
there.
A fog of secrecy surrounds the
actual plans for the meeting be-
tween the President and the
General-at which they will dis
cuss the Korean thing. The only
fact anybody knows is that they
will meet somewhere west Of
Hawaii. What they have west Of
Hawaii is lots and lots Of water,
so nobody knows much
The secrecy, however. doesn't
compare with the hush-hush that
surround the last presidential
visit to Hawaii That was in
July of 1914 The president was
Roosevelt but the general was
Macarthur as now. These two
met with Admiral Nimitz for a
war pow-wOw.
Roosevelt was on Oahu, the
principal island, for three days.
He rode around in an open car,
inspecting war installations.
Practically everybody saw him.
But nobody outside the islands
heard one single peep about it
until two weeks later-when the
President was safe at home again,
and the General was safe in
Brisbane.
Yet not even the Roosevelt
smile could bust the ancient ira

Gordon seagrave, Famed Burma
Surgeon, Went On Trial Today
For His Life Before COmmies
THREE SPECIFIC
CHARGES ARE
MADE AGAINST
AMERICAN DIR.

RANGooN, Burma. Oct IL
B--The famous Burma surgeon
of World War Il, Gordon Sea
grave, went on trial for hi, life
today.
In. his opening speech before
the special tribunal, the Assist
ant Attorney General outlined
three specific charges against the
American doctor.
Seagrave was accused of COM
mitting high treason by helping a
renegade rebel wage war against
Burma.
de was also charged with help
ing the enemy and falling to re1
port to the government his
knowledge of the rebellion.
Seagrave faces either death or
Punishment. The Assistant At
torney General told the special
Burmese tribunal that Seagrave-
although an American. owes tenn
porary allegiance to Burma, and
thus can be tried for treason.

old Seagrave has fought disease
for 70 years IN North Burma,
saving innumerable lives.
He marched across Burma dur
ing the war with General Joseph
Stilwell.
Seagrave was arrested August
