would drag the boats up and down the
canal, bringing coal from Cumberland,
flour from Harpers Ferry and other

Mullins Market
Opens Monday

The wheels of the Mullins mark
ct will begin to turn at nine o'clock
on Monday morning. August End,
opening day for the 1854 selling
season, and before they come to a
stop late in October this big green
back factory will put nearly $780,
0OO,0OO.O0 in circulation.
That's a lot Of money, but re-
cords show that during the past
four years Mullins warehousemen
have sold 2lO.279.O96 pounds Of
tobacco for the growers of South
Carolina, and the adjoining N. c.
Border Belt. The money paid for
that leaf was in excess of Sll3,-
000,OO0.OO.
The official report Of J. Roy
Jones, Commissioner of Agricul-
ture, shows that $1,000, 582 pounds
of this leaf was sold last year for
the sum total of $30,544, 278. %.
The average price paid the grow
ers was $57.47 which is $500 per
hundred higher than the '54 mark
ct level, or the average price paid
for the bright leaf crop as a whole.
Grade by grade, that average
represents prices higher than the
average indicates for Mullins is

Civic Minded Brothers Make
Success 0f T urniiure Business

Business was booming In 1916
but the Prince brothers learned
that 1t was one thing to 60 into
business and horse of a different
color to get anything to sell.
Prince Brothers Furniture Store
was opened in Tabor City in Octo-
Der, 1916 as a partnership among
Arthur, Oliver. and Harry.
Arthur was given the task OF
visiting furniture factories in
North Carolina and Virginia in
hopes Of getting an order or two
filled. Many Of his trips were in
vain but his personal salesman
ship enabled him to get enough
orders filled to carry on the bust
ness in Tabor City.
When things began to get norm
al in the business world, Prince
brothers were firmly established
as up and coming merchants.
Salesmanship and service were the
two factors that enabled them to
expand their operation into nearby
communities. They now operate
store in Clarkton and one in
Chadbourn.
The first expansion move took
place in July, 1913 when Harry
moved to Clarkton and opened a
Prince Bros. store. This store is
now as large as the one in Tabor
City, but the latter is still the
Home office.
In July, 1851. Prince Bros. was
opened in Chadbourn. It is now
operated by Buel Lanier. an en-
ployee of several years standing
who has come up through the
ranks.
Fifteen persons are now employ
ed by Prince Bros.
Many things have contributed
to the success of Prince Bros. but
one of the outstanding factors has
been the ability of the three broth
ers to meet every customer on an
equal footing.
Prompt, efficient, and courteous
service are often words overwork-
ed when one throws compliments
at merchant but it takes only a
minute in the store to realize that |
the words Of praise are well de-
served by Prince Bros.
Although all three of the broth |
ers are sports-minded. the most |
active is Arthur.
He was very active in the Amer /
lean Legion baseball team organic
ed several years ago in Tabor City. 4,
It's seldom that he misses a foot .

Children See Killing
OF Baltimore Man.;
Police Hold Suspect
BY The Assoeiatsd Pres,

BALTIMORE. Jan. 12.-Police
today were holding a 25-year-old
suspect in q fatal shooting wit
messed last night by three Balti-
more children playing in the
snow.
The staying occurred in a
parked automobile.
Police would not say where or
why the unidentified man was
picked up. a.
The killer fled into the dark
ness when one Of the children
called out: Il saw you do it,"
The victim was Woodrow Will

in the brain three times. He died
21z hours later in Union Memo
rial Hospital.
Police withheld the names Of
the three children, two brothers
and q sister. With the killer on
the loose, Chief Inspector Joseph
Itzel said. they may be in "ex-
treme" danger.
The children were playing
when the younger brother. age
Z, noticed the two men sitting in
q black sedan and called them
to the attention of his 9-year -old
sister and 13-year-old brother.
Watching, they saw the man in
the right side Of the front seat
strike the man behind the wheel
with his fist, police said.
The older brother, 13. said he
heard two or three clicks, 4"
which sounded like a cap pistol.
The other man slumped over the
wheel.
Then the murderer got out of
the car, pulled his coat collar up
around his face and walked
away. When the older brother
called out. the killer fed.
Police said Robbins was sep
arated from his wife last Novem-
Der. They had a 3-year-old
daughter, Christine.
Robbins was unemployed, po-
lice said, but recently worked as
q truck driver for an oil COM
pany. He owned the car in
which he was killed.
