Brunswick, Horny And
Columbus Tobacco Is
I'm Dire Need OF Rain

Most tobacco growers in the
three county area around Tabor
City. Brunswick, Horny ard Col
umbus-were feeling the effects
of the extended dryneSs and eX-
ceSSive heat this week.
Crops of the bright leaf
throughout the area were hurt
ing and in dire need of moisture.
Only scattered showers have
fallen during the past several
weeks and hot day time weather
has pretty generally taken up
that moisture in few hours.
Yet reports from most sections
of Brunswick and Horny coun-
ties indicated that a better crop
than last years is in the making.
Columbus county as a whole
seems to have a slightly poorer
crop than in 1850, according to
County Agent Charles Raper.
Some farmers were reporting
difficulty in getting their bright
leaf to cure out as bright as in
former years while others eN-
pressed satisfaction with results
procured in early season curing.
Meantime many farmers in
the area were getting their first
money from this years crop as
lug sales on the local market
continued to grow. Some ware
house floors this week had the
bright leaf scattered over a fair
" wide area and buyers were
-i,l av>;3a,hls, - thcse desiring
to sell Tugs before the market
opening.

RAIN EFFECTS
LEAF CROP In
'L0RIS AREA

LORIS, SOUTH CAROLINA
July 18th Lack of rain is
again causing great concern to
tobacco growers in the Loris
trading area, Fenton Miller Sales
Supervisor of the Loris Tobacco
Market, said today.
Insufficient rain has caused
the tobacco leaves to begin vel.
lowing before they have reached
maturity. In some cases this vel,
lowing has preceded at such a
rapid rate that cropping, storage,
and curing facilities are not suf-
ficient to handle all the leaves
which need to be cropped, thus
resulting in some loss of tobacco,
Another disadvantage OF the
rapid yellowing of tobacco leaves
has been the decrease in the
weight of the cured product. The
quality OF the TOBACCO mas not
been impaired, but the farmers
expected income has been de-
creased to some extent as a re.
suit.
Aside from these difficulties
cropping and curing continues at
a normal pace for this time OF
year-that is, at least a weekly
cropping and curing with more
frequent ones on some farms.
The groups in Loris buying
Jugs have at the present time
purchased approximately S,OOC
pounds of ungraded Jugs and are
now in the process of grading
them in preparation for the open
inc of the market on July 3Oth
The quality of these Tugs is much
better than similar ones last
wear.

UNCLE ZEKE TO START TOUR
FOR LOCAL TOBACCO MARKET

North Cardinals original I'm
Icle Zeke, star of stage and radio
throughout the Carolinas for
more than Is years, will com.
Imence a tour throughout the
area this week during which he
will call on tobacco growers,
country stores, and assembled
groups to expound upon the mer-
its of Tabor City.
AS a promotional feature of
the local tobacco market, Uncle
Zeke will be distributing posters
urging farmers to sell their 1851
tobacco crop in Tabor City.
Dressed in his familiar RECALLS,
that is a 10 gallon hat, pistol and
goatee, Uncle Zeke expects tc
spend the greater part Of the
week in his trek through Column
bus, Horny and Brunswick coun,
ties.
In piedmont and western
North Carolina, Uncle zeke has
made similar excursions many
| times in the past and his humor
and folksy talk always meets
with wide acclaim.
Local tobacco interests also
hope to have Uncle Zeke AND
some other local musicians put
on a show in Tabor City during
the tobacco selling season.
Since moving to Tabor City
some months ago, Uncle Zeke
whose real name is Ed Pearce
has made several appearances in
minstrel and other type stage
shows here and has on each oc
casion been the center of attrac
ton.
yeah, I got to get out here
and see these good farmers and
, tell 'em about the Tabor City
market leading the border belt
in average price four of the last
seven years." Uncle Zeke sale
this week.
And unless something puts g
stop to his current plans, zeke
will be right out among the
growers this week and those who
knew him felt satisfied that g
good laugh was in store for all
But if you don't see Uncle Zeke
in person but do see one OF the
big signs tackled up saying "sel
YOUR tobacco in Tabor City" yot
can rest assured that Zeke has
been there because he has taker
it upon himself to distribute the
Isigns and get them located where
farmers can see them. OWE want
everybody to know just how gooc
our market is and I got to gel
out and see EN-" Uncle Aekf

|Loris Police Chief Killed In Auto Accident
Work Begins on School

! Contractor A. G. Carter of
Whiteville has completed the lay
ing of the foundation and rough
plumbing on the new Tabor City
Negro high school and there was
some speculation that the build
ing might be completed in time
for the fall term.
Actual work began on the
building here two weeks ago and
brick and blocks are on the build
ing site now. Sand is also avail
able on the lot.
The new structure, which will
cost about 100000, will be a
modern one story type and will
be constructed of blocks with a
brick venier exterior.
1t is being built across the
street from the old school
grounds and slightly nearer
town.
Elementary Negro school chill
dren will continue to use the old
building and the new structure
will be used exclusively for high
school classes.
1t will mark the first time a
brick building has ever been con-
structed in Tabor City for Negro
students.
A similar structure is under
way at the Mt. Olive Negro
school near Whiteville. The same
contracting firm is building both
school houses.

med the 1949 Ford and hit an
embankment on the side of +ha
road.
According to Policeman New.
VINO was slightly bruised and
hospitalized until Tuesday, Chief
Hardee breathed only few
breaths after the collision and
was dead by the time he was
taken out of the car.
There was some speculation
that he may have died from a
heart attack or shock rather than
from injuries actually suffered in
the smashup.
Both cars were practically a
total loss but nothing other than
minor cuts and bruises was suf-
fered by any persons involved
other than Chief Hardee.
Johnson was later arrested for
reckless driving and is repeatedly
now under a $500 bond.
The policemen had been notifi.
ed to watch out for the Johnson
car, and reports indicate that
he had been driving with exces-
siVe speed and recklessness for
several miles before he entered
Loris. He sped through Loris at
a high rate of speed and could
not be apprehended but his Ii.
cense numbers were taken and
the arrest made later.
Funeral services were held for
Chief HarGee Tuesday afternoon
at 4 P. M. at the SWeetwater
Branch church near Socastee. The
Reverends G. Clyde Prince and ].
Robert Carter were in charge Of
the services.

The prohibitionists who speak oi
Intoxicating liquor as poison" are
using the literal meaning of the
word, whether they know it or not
This is a curious word, which
started out as the Greek toxon, "a
bow (for hurling arrows)." From
toxon the word evolved thus
ToxikoS, "of or for the bow;
toxikon, "a poison for the tip OF
arrows; Latin toxicum, poison"
intoXicare, ito drug or poison"
intoxicate, ito poison; to make
drunk"
The Greeks arrow poison
toxikon-survives in scores of such
words as toxic, toxin, auto -intoxica-
ton c"self-poisoning'D and other
poison" words.
Another interesting word is
stigma. 1t was the custom among
the ancients to place an identify
ing mark on slaves, criminals and
soldiers. This mark was called in
Greek, stigma, from stizein, "to
prick; to brand"
The word entered Latin, and
meant "a mark made with a brand
ing iron; brand" Hence, we have
our modern meaning, ANY mark of
infamy or disgrace caused by dis
honorable conduct"
From stigma have come instigate,

People of today are better off, in
some ways, than they were early
in the present century. They have
better methods of transport than
existed 80 or 40 years ago, and more
things are done nowadays to guarc
the public health.
A long list of good changes might
be made, but it may be that some
things were better before human
life "speeded up so much.
When we speak of refrigeration
it is easy to show that electric
refrigerators are better than the
old-time iceboxes, but I remember
one thing about cooling which used
to be very good during my boy
hood. That was the making of ice
cream!
We had a hand-turned ice cream
freezer, and perhaps once a week
it was used to provide a gallon OF
ice cream. My brothers and were
given the task of turning the
freezer, and little did we mind! We
were allowed to test the ice cream
Evening star., 1951-07-25

while we were at work to see wheth-
er it was hard enough, and how
liked that testing! On one gallon of
ice cream, we were likely to make
from five to seven tests, and the
tablespoons used for that purpose
gave me ice cream which tasted
better than any ever consumed at
the dinner table
/ Hand-turned ice cream freezers
still exist, but they have become
rare. We can buy ice cream any
day at stores, or we can prepare it
at home with the help of an elec-
trio refrigerator.
In these days of progress, 1t seems
rather strange that many refrigera-
tor cars on railway lines are cooled
in old-fashioned ways. The cars
are supplied with cakes of ice or
broken ice.
Nothing like a refrigerator car
was known in the early part of the
past century, but railways kept
growing in Importance, and spe-
cial cars we're built to hold fruit,
| vegetables and meat. Thanks to
these, it became possible to trans

Latin stimulare, "goadD; instinct
which first meant "inStigation,
then suggestion" then impulse
and, finally, "a natural impulse.
Another meaning of stigma il
spot; a mark or sign of blemish
or taint." Thus it may refer to the
red spots on the skin which are
sometimes caused by alcoholism, Oh
by extreme nervousness.
The spot" or point" meaning
has given us the word astigmatism
a condition of the eye in which the
light rays are not focused, Oh
brought to a point, but are diffused
Astigmatism comes from a., mot,
plus stigmatism, pointed; hence
in reference to the light rays, moi
pointed"
The word stylus is closely related
to stigma. 1t goes back to the
Greek stulos, a pointed instrument
used by the ancients for "pricking,
or writing on their tablets of wax
The Latin stilus came to mean %
setting down in writing" ther
manner or style of writing.
