By w. HORACE CARTER

O, II nothing happens to stop u.s., we will seal our
end nf can OF sweet potatoes in 1855 by the
Gnu Oh next week Cecil Corbett, president and man
aser OF Corbett Canning Company here said TODAY
hght now we are running two Shifts six DAYS
day or about $500 cases We are employing I75
persons, and if continue progress up to expecta
tlohs, we VIII operate the cannery eight to nine
said. ' ee'
Opening for business in 1853, the local cannery
has more than doubled it's original capacity and num-
yer VI employees and sales are now more than five
times that of 1861 ~
Today Corbett Canning Company is turning out
yams with 80 different labels of their own seven
dt1erent size cans, and quality product is being
splpped all over the Eastern Unltea the
1fSt tme canned potatoes are going ont proud
ly stating Carolina Vans"
Is the only cannery in the nation that is sponsor
ing carolina Yam and displaying it prominently
Also, In the past canneries have SHE'D away from
the exclusive name of yam and instead labeled the
product sweet potatoes" The Corbetts are breaking
down that trend and now have labels without the
fashioned sweet potato reference. They are label
ed Just plain Carolina Vans"
"A yam is special variety of sweet potato All
not yams," says Corbett.
Already this year, Corbett Canning Company has
paid out more than 100000 for canning potatoes in
this and other sweet potatoes growing areas
And with the constantly increased sales and pro-
ducton, this figure is expected to grow by leaps and
bounds
AT the moment Corbetts big problem is storing
the potatoes. He has issued message to growers to
pank or store as many sweet potatoes they can
and contract with him for delivery during December
January and February.
Corbett says they will need potatoes badly during
these three months in order meet their orders and
If farmers will hold the slips and number twos until
these winter months arrive that will be of distinct
service to the fast growing canning development here
The cannery is owned by Cecil Corbett, Sr pres-
dent and manager; Arthur j. Cartreue, supernten-
dent; and c. c. Corbett Jt. and Charles Corbett
associates
All the Corbetts have moved to Tabor City and
are actively promoting the canning business. Their
al nf pkc hnh1,
product that began its evolution a product in
the fields of Columbus and Horny counties Their story
of growth is noteworthy and that has just begun
it's future might be the real story of Tabor Citys
economy.

Mysterious Cross Burninu
Incident Occurs I'm Loris

community Hospital, returned
home Friday night about 1890
with his expectant wife after
visiting with friends and a few
minutes later was startled by a.
burning cross in his front yard.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hucks had been
gone most of the evening and
when they returned home to go|
to bed, they observed no unusu-
al activity around the house. Al
short time later when they had
turned off all lights except in
the bedroom, some one knocked
on the front door.
HuckS went to the door and
discovered the burning cross in
the yard. He saw no one, the
person who knocked on the door
having made a hasty departure.
Hucks Immediately called two
friends of his in Loris and they
came to his house in a few min
utes. Together they examined
the cross and found it to be
made of tobacco sticks, about
our feet high and it was made
!nflammable with oil soaked
rags.
Hucks expressed the belief
that the cross burning was not
the work of the Ku Klux Khan
out of some personal opposition
Of his, opposition perhaps Great
I'd by his job as administrator
at the hospital.
Several months ago, Hucks had
relieved the hospital dietician,
Mrs. Dewey. Dixon, of her duties
for lack OF cooperation" and
1T appeared that the discharge
left her with a very bitter taste"
HuckS said. For this reason and
perhaps others, Hucks suspi-
.cioned that the cross burning
was associated with the firing.
HuckS and friends conducted
"a momentary investigation of
the cross burning and when they
observed Dixon watching the
fire some time later, Hucks
swore out a warrant against him
on information and belief. The
warrant was sworn out before
Magistrate w. w. Vaught.
Dixon was then arrested and
placed in Jail at Loris Friday
night. He made bond of $500
Saturday morning and was re-
leased.
Dixon said Monday that he
did not burn the cross and didn't
know who. did. He further stat
ed that his employer had sus-
pended him pending the out
come of his trial. He is employed |
by D. A. Powell.
Mrs. Dixon commented upon
the recent episode by saying
that when Hucks fired her cit
was one of the best things that
ever happened to me-" She said
mat she was a nervous wreck
as a result of frequent disagree
ments with Hucks while she was
jictician.
She said that the firing was
water over the dam and that
any thought that she or her
husband had burned a cross in
retaliation was most assinine."
Mrs. Dixon said that she is
a registered nurse with a Cali
fornia license and that her
training in nursing practice had
included the matter of diet.
She said she had not appealed
her discharge to the Hospital
Commission seeking reinstate-
nent, but that she appealed for
vacation pay that Hucks had re-
fused and that the pay was
granted.
She said that she bears no
resentment against Hucks and
has no desire to rctaliate al
though she was not compliment
airy of the administrators abil-
Ky.
The cross burning Friday
night so upset Mrs. Hucks that
she slept only a couple of hours.
She was still upset Monday and
had slept very little Sunday
hight. She is expecting a child
n about two months.
Hucks says he will welcome

AS Congress finished action on
| this important domestic legisla-
ton, attention turned to the devel-
opments abroad and to the pro-
| posed meeting of the heads of state
from this country, Great Britain,
France and Soviet Russia. AS
have mentioned before, and as many
citizens of Delaware have indicated
to me, great concern exists over the
implications of such a conference.
While we all want peace and a
lessening of tensions between the
East and West, yet the constant re-
fusal of the Kremlin to cooperate
in reaching such an objective
makes the likelihood of a success
full conference somewhat improb-
able. Some members of Congress
and many private citizens have
strongly recommended against the
participation of President Eisen-
hover in such meeting. Personal
ly / do not take the position that
we should refuse a face to face
meeting with the Soviet leaders for
surely the probability of promoting
international harmony, however re-
mote, should be sought whenever
possible.
Nevertheless, I trust that the
President and Secretary of State
who have assumed the responsible
ty for arranging this meeting will
zealously and constantly guard and
protect the interests of the United
States first and foremost We have
had an extensive amount of expert
ence since World War in dealing
with international problems through
the medium of conferences. The de-
gree of success from these meetings
is attested to by what has happen
ed to the world in the past gen.
Grafton.
/ hope that every American citi-
zen will exercise personal response
bility to keep informed on this ap-
preaching conference for decisions
could be reached there which could
profoundly affect the lives of all of
u.s.
