beer parlor operators whose Ii
censcs had been revoked, or rather
whose licenses we're not rcissued
at their expiration date June 80.
The beer parlor operators at
that time allegedly filed counter
petition stating that their firms
were reputable and orderly. How
ever, the signatures on that petit
ton were not made available 10
the public.
The first petition that requested
the tax commission not TO reissue
the licenses was signed by church
leaders throughout a wide area in
Northern Horny county. II was
also signed by many Tabor City
residents including some former
officials Of the Tabor City govern
ment.
The petition and the request for
the revoking of the licenses was
sent to the tax commission by
Sheriff Henry along with his per-
sonal letter that the area was one
OF the toughest in the county and
that he had made numerous ar
rests there during his five months
as sheriff.

'53 Leaf Season Opens Here Monday
Held
In Manning Murder

Claude Parker, 65-year old
Galena, Kansas variety store OBJ
orator, is being held in Columbus
Kansas, Jail without privilege of
bond in the shooting of his SON
in-law Ernest Manning. formerly
of Tabor City, on Tuesday july IA.
Manning was killed almost in
Stantly by "a shot from 80 calibre
automatic pistol. His body was
returned to Hamlet, N. c., where
he was buried last week. His
mother now lives in Hamlet.
Manning was well-knOwn here
having attended the local schools
prior to entering the service. He
married Marion Parker while sta
toned at Camp Crowder nine
years ago. 1t is understood that he
wanted to return to North Caro-
lima and that some friction had
arisen between him and Parker.
He was allegedly shot by Parker
while his return to the Tar Heel
State was being discussed at the
P.rker home.
Manning was painter and car
penter at the Eagle-Picher smelt-
ering plant in Galena.
An inquest into the shooting
was held Friday night, July II
with eight Galena men sitting on
the coroner's jury. The jury found
probably cause against Parker and
jailed him on a first degree murd-
or charge. Justice Lee F. Best last
week ruled that Parker could not
be turned out on bond. County
Attorney Kent Yount stated that
IN cases of murder the matter of
making boni was left to the dis
erection of the court.
Parker waived preliminary hear
ing last Monday and the case was
bound over to the September term
of district court in Galena.
The case was Investigated by
Sheriff E. :. Sutherland and I'm
der Sire * jim Haynes and De-
putty Sheriff Louis Davis. Parker
was arrested by Galena policeman
Bill Lewellyn.
Manning was born in Tabor City
October 9, 1921 and had lived at
Isl Joplin street in Galena since
his discharge from the service.

Increase Over
1852 Sales
Is Expected

The festivities are slated to be-
gin Monday morning al 9:0C.
That's When the annual opening
of the tobacco market officially
gets underway in Tabor City and
that famed auctioneer's chant rat
ties about the four warehouses
that handle the sale of the brisht
leaf on the local market.
The same chant is expected all
along the North Carolina border
belt markets with Fair Bluff,
Chadbourn and Whiteville in Co.
lumous county observing opening
day. South Carolina markets open
tomorrow.
Optimism over the price of this
years bright leaf was fairly wide
spread. The Georgia Florida mar
ket has shown some decrease from
last season, but the statistics show
his drop to be only IA cents on
the pound. The big drop in the
price seems to be in the poorer
grades with good tobacco still
bringing rather high prices.
Tabor City this season will have
three houses operated by one firm.
X. L. Coleman and Associates.
This marks the first time that this
amount of floor space has been
available to a single firm. How
ever. the Coleman interests have
sold more tobacco here during the
past several years in their two
houses than have the other two
warehouses in town while the
ownership and management was
split, and most persons believe
they will still fill their three ware
house floors shortly after the sea-
son opens.
The fourth house that will oper-
ate in Tabor City this season will
be managed by Don Watson. Wat
son is Green Sea Farmer who
has operated Planters Warehouse
here for several years. Planters
Will nave a morning sale every
DAY at the same time during the
season, and will be allocated one
tourth OF the total selling time.
Coleman will operate the New
Farmers-Carolina Warehouses as

Warehouse that was recently leas-
ed from B. Alton Garrell. Mrs.
Harriet Skies will serve as assist
ant manager of this operation and

Farmers have been barring to-
oacco so rapidly in recent DAYS
that sales after opening day are
not expected to be crowded for
awhile. Most farmers have not
mad sufficient help to grade and
lie their bright leaf while still
gathering their crops off the stalk
But within the next week, msot
