I would just like to ask one

7 thing the Three KS should start
cleaning our Law Inducements,
and probably start with our good
So and So topping the list.
I think the Ku KluX Klan is a
very good Organization with ony
one exception, they are getting
too far behind with thoi" work.
Someone may say thl5 is a tree

Bible upon which to build our
morals of good friendly living
Do YOU want a bootlcgger or a

more I'm willing to fight 1of
such rights.
Your figure of SO and a one

an incorrect figure) were against

old Red Blooded American Or
ganization. Organized to support
the good Morals of Good Amerl
can People.
According to your editorials
the Ku KluX Khan Organization
was a Lawless hoodlums Organ
ization. If I have been Informed
correctly the Ku Klux Khan mas
as their Law and Guide the Holy
Bible. But for the Law 1ntorce'
ment officers of our land as a
majority is something to be proud
of. Most any Good Red Biooded
Christian American would troWn
at such a job; but it is composed
OF such people that would sell
their own SOUL for a couple
bucks. The laws of our. Country
should be based on the .EoL4
BIBLE, and the Law lntorce-
ment Officers should be Christ

of both is everything else. Inc
bootleggers of our land can pay
the Majority so called Two by

unbelievable sum, and stay IN

Don't forget that farmers sell
ing tobacco on the Tabor City
market arc going to be given
$4,000 in valuable prizes on Sep
tember 6. Many farmers have al
ready sold tobacco here and are
thereby entitled to the opportun'
ity of receiving some of these
fine gifts when the big celebra'
ton comes off.
Other donations have been
made since the original list ap-
peared and there will probably
be a few more before Scptem'

list of these gifts, take look
around the store windows IN
Tabor City and at the posters
that have been tackled up around
the countryside. Better still,
there are some in the warehouses
for you to look over.

Tobacco Still Selling High;
Late Crop Curtails Sales

price picture is one of the best
and perhaps the best in history.
Some farmers were sellin
huge amounts at averages of
almost phenomenal nature. Jesse
Ray, for instance, of Tabor City
sold 1883 pounds of tobacco here
Tuesday for $500, an average of
S66.53 per hundred pounds. Also
sold Tuesday was basket that
brought the highest price here
thus far. That basket of tobacco
was wrappers and was sold by
Otis Wright, of route l. Tabor
City, for $81 per hundred pounds.
The most encouraging news for
warehousemcn and farmers a
like thus far is the fact that a
meeting of the board of directors
of the Bright Belt Warehouse
mems Association is holding a
meeting Saturday to discuss and
decide whether the markets in
the Border Belt are to be given
an extension of selling time at
the end of the season.
This extension is almost must
FOR the smaller markets and with.
out some kind of extension, all
of the smaller markets are going
to fall several million pounds un-
der the total poundage sold in
prior seasons.
Roscoe c. Coleman, in reply to
a telegram sent Tuesday to F. S.
Register, president of the Bright
Belt Warehousemen's Associa'
ton, was notified that the meet
ing would be held Saturday and
that some action on the proposed
extension would be taken at that
time.
The last such extension grant
cd was in 1947 when eight days
were added to the season. The
1947 season was late just like the
present year and without that
additional selling time then, the
market would have dropped far
under it's usual quantity of to.
bacco sold.
Many farmers even yet have
not finished gathering their to.
bacco and many haven't sold a
pound anywhere thus far. So
one farmer stated this week.
1--WE farmers are still not really
ready to sell tobacco. l have a
lot of gathering to do myself,
and it will be two weeks before
have the first pound on the
floor" This farmer is perhaps
some later than most farmers in
the area but there are a lot OF
them who haven't sold tobacco
as yet. Many have sold only
few hundred pounds.
Opening day sales still top the
list as the most sold here in one
DAYS this season. On opening
dav the local market sold $4,000.
The next best day was last Fri.
day when 100000 were sold. Two
days dropped as low as $4,000.
The trend had started back up
this week with daily sales ap-
proximating $4,000 per day.

DISCUSS
FIRE DEPT.

The local Civitan Club discuss
ed the possibilities of the club
having it's membership as a part

ment in Tabor City at it's regular
Monday night meeting at the
City Cafe.
The club had previously sent
a representation before the town
board and asked the board to
allow the Civilians to serve on
the department free of charge
This was not approved by the
board because of the insurance
on the fircmen which could not
be expanded to cover additional
firemen.
Members of the Civitan Club
however, pointed out that &c
members are on the fire depart
mcnts roster but that seldom do
more than half that number re-

The club also voted to name
