The Peanut Growers Association
won itff first legal battle last Satur
day in a hearing before Judge J. H,
Kerr, at Warrenton, N. C., who con
tinued and made permanent the in
junction against C. T. Harrell, of Ber
tie County, N. C., restraining him
from selling his 1922 crop of pea
nuts in any other way except thru
the Association.
Judge Kerr's decision establishes
both the constitutionality of the co
operative marketing law and the val
idity of the growers' contracts and
marketing agreements, which, more
than 5000 peanuts growers in Vir-
gini aand North Carolina have signed.
The entire hearing, including the
reading of the complaint, and the
answer of the defendant, together
with the arguments of the attorneys
on both sides, took less than two
hours. The Association was repre
sented by Lawrence L. Levy, of Sa-
piro, Hayes & Levy, of San Francis
co, who has been so successful in the
conduct of the tobacco injunction
hearings; Winston & Mathews, of
Windsor, N. C., and E. Frank Story,
of Franklin, Va. Capt. John E.
Davenport, of Windsor, and Mr. Ty
ler, of Roxobel, represented the de
fendants.
Judge Kerr also issued a perma
nent injunction against J. S. Whel-
bee, of Gates county, restraining him
from selling his peanuts outside the
Association, The issuance of this
permanent injunction against Mr.
Whedbee was part of his agreement
with the Association' in settlement of
the suit against him.
Mr. Whedbee's case was also to
have been heard by Judge Kerr yes
terday, but he came to Norfolk Fri
day and settled his case out of the
court, by paying in full liquidated
damages at the rate of 2c a pound
for selling his' 1921 peanuts outside
the Association, together with the
court costs and atorney's fees, to
talling over $900.00.
A striking feature in connection
with Mr. Whedbee's settlement of
his case out of court is that after a
careful legal investigation he found
that his not having paid anything on
his share of common stock did not
release him from his obligation to
deliver his peanuts to his Associa
tion'. This finding of Mr. Whedbee's
that his not having paid anything on
his share of common stock did not
exempt him will be might ypoor con
solation to other growers who have
sold their peanuts outside the Asso
ciation with the expectation of set
ting up a similar plea.
The Association has been granted
temporary injunctions against the
growers in Virginia. These cases
will he heard in January. It is con
fidently expected that the Virginia
courts will follow the precedent' set
by the North Carolina courts in sus
taining every claim of the Co-oper
ative Marketing Associations, as to
the constitutionality of the Co-oper
ative Marketing Law and the valid
ity of the growers contract and the
marketing agreement.
Work seems to be plentiful all over

SALES RECORD FOR
FORDS IS BROKEN
Deliveries to Jldtail Buyers of
Ford Cars and Trucks During
Month of November Totalled
Over One Hundred Thousand.
According to a statement issued
by the Ford Motor Company, deliv
eries of Ford cars and trucks to re
tail buyers during the month of No
vember totalled 106,826. This is a
new high sales record that has never
before been approached by the com
pany at thiB season of the year, and
one which stands out in marked con
trast to the November 1921 retail
delivery figures, whih totalled but
slightly over 50,000 cars and trncks.
For eight consecutive months, be
ginning with April 1st of this year
retail deliveries have exeeded 100,-
000 Ford cars and trucks each montr
the accumulated total for the first
eleven months of 1922 being approx
imately 1,200,000. While the com
pany points out that it is not unusual
for Ford retail sales to exceed 100,-
000 mark during the spring and the
early summer months when the de
mand is at its peak, the manner in
which the business has held up all
throughout the balance of the year
is without precedent.
Credit for this remarkable showing
is attributed by the Ford Motor Co.,
to the many improvements which
have lately beer.' made on Ford cars,
and particularly to the new low level
of Ford prices, recently put into ef
fect. These new low prices not only
broaden the field of prospective Ford
purchasers but go still further in
making the Ford car the best value
from the standpoint iof the retail
buyer, that it has ever been.
Although the Ford factories have
beer, 1 operating at capacity for the
past eight months, gales have equall
ed production and judging from the
unusual manner in. which orders are
coming in at this season of the year
Ford dealers will be unable to ac
cumulate an adequate stock of cars
during the winter months for deliv
ery next spring.
In the opinion of the Ford Motor
Company, November sales are an in
dication that many prospective pur
chasers, realizing the exeptional val
ue now being offered in Ford cars,
are beginning to anticipate an un
usual spring demand and are there
fore placing orders during the fall,
and will continue to do so throughout
the winter to avoid disappointing de
lays in delivery later on.
While this will relievp the situation
to some extent, it is pointed out that
the steadily increasing demand for
Ford cars is nevertheless sure to
create anI acute shortage as the sea
son advances.
Accordingly, the Ford sales organ
ization is urging prospective Ford
purchasers to arrange for delivery
during the winter months in order
that demand next spring will be re
lieved as far as possible.
SERIOUS WRECK IN
WEST BAINBRIDGE
SATURDAY NIGHT
East-bound A. C. L. Freight
Train Derailed, With Very-
Costly Results
HOBOES ASLEEP
NOT DISTURBED
Thirteen Cars Demolished, Two
of Which Were Loaded With
Livestock.—24 Hogs and 2
Mules Killed, others Injured.
Hon- L. F. Patterson
Visitor in the City
An' cast bound A. C. L. railway
through freight train was derailed
in West Bainbridge at an cary hour
last Sunday morning, causing one of
the most serious wrecks that has oc
curred in this vicinity in some time.
Thirteen! cars were almost com
pletely demolished, two of which were
loaded with livestock, consisting of
horses, mules and hogs. Two of the
mules were killed outright, and five
others had to be killed on account of
serious injuries sustained. Twenty-
four hogs, out of a car-load of eighty-
nine, wero killed. The stock killed
is said to have been of exceptionally
fine quality, and very valuable.
A solid car of shelled peanuts was
broken open, and another loaded with
metal turpentine cups was utterly
destroyed.
Four tramps, occupying compart
ments in one of the “side door Pull
mans," enroute South for the winter,
were found after the wreck, and they
not only wore not hurt in the least,
but had calmly slept through the
wreck, their slumbers not being in
the least disturdeb. This speaks
well for the accommodations furnish
ed by the A. C. L. to its involuntary
guests. The four hoboes wero steal
ing a ride in an empty car just be
hind the ones wrecked.
The wreck was caused, it is Bald,
by a brake-beam dropping down in
front of the trucks of the first car.
The A. C. L. wrecker reached the
scene of the wreck very quickly, as
it happened to be in Thomasville when
called for.
When! news of the accident reach
ed the city a large number of people
went to the scene, and gave valuable
assistance in removing the injured
livestock. The efforts of these vol
unteer workers in promptly unload
ing the 4 panic-stricken' animals from
the wrecked cars very probably pre
vented the death of a much larger
number than was killed.
The work of removing the debris
from the track went steadily forward,
a large force of hands being called
in to help in thi work, and there was
but little delay to passenger traffic
as a result bf the smashup. How
ever, it was found necessary for the
noon trains to transfer their pas
sengers, express and mail, and the
early morning trains were detoured
for Montgomery by way of Albany
and the Central of Georgia railway.
The wreckage was not; dompletely
cleared up util late Monday after
noon. —Bell.

DECATUR SCHOOL
BOYS FORM CLUB
Through Efforts of County
Agent Sawyer a “Fat Barrow
Club” will be Organized to
Encourage Hog Raising
(By Mrs. Otis Bell)
County Agent D. E. Sawyer is not
letting any grass grow under his
feet, and from the way he is going
after things he does not intend that
anyone shall live in this county with'
out contributing their pro rsta share
to its future progress.
He is going to organize, through
the cooperation of every school teach
er in the rural districts, a “Fat Bar-
row Club." This club will be for the
benefit of all boys who happen to be
of the farm-interost age, and to pro
mote an interest in the hog raising
industry in 1 Decatur county. >
Dr. Sawyer has issued blanks to
the school teachers with notes ac
companying them, asking them to
explain to the boys the preliminary
facts and that he will call in the
meantime to tell them more fully of
the Club, and give a definite out
line of its purposes, advantages and
possibilities.
The blanks issued read; “I will
join this Club, and on January 1st,
will start feeding ——hogs, that now
weigh about 100 pefimds. T will use
corn as the main feed, that I may
have a good, hard, number one hog
to put in the Boys Club sale which
will be held about April 1st. Name—
Postofficc “
When these blanks are filled out
they will be mailed to Dr. Sawyer,
who, in expanation, says'. “In order
to get up in terest In the club work,
that the boys may learn how to feed
hogs to the best advantage, and that
they may have money to buy pure
bred pigs this spring, I am asking
co-operation in! this plan.
“That tho boys take one or more
good barrows, weighing about 100
pounds, hogp that they now have on
the farm or that they can get from
• neighbor, and feed this hog 00
days, using corn as the main feed.
Then at one of the regular hog sales
sell them to the highest bidder. It
will take 95 hogs to make a car load,
and if they weigh between 165 and
250 pounds, they will grade numbor
ones, and if corn fed, will bring an
extra price,
At the time these hogs will be
sold the price is unusually high. We
will want to start to begin feeding
these hogs not later than January
1st. I expect to have as premiums
to be given to the boys doing the
best feeding scholarships to the short
course at Athens, as wel as- some
other prizes.'
This Club idea should make a great
appeal to the boys nf this county and
to their parents as well. It can be
recalled that Mills B. Lane, the great
booster of the South, of Savannah,
started the ball to rolling some years
ago, when he let boys have the mon
ey for the purpose of getting them
started in! this industry. But now,
experience and growth, has develop
ed a way that is better. For the
boy who gets up his own pig, and
starts out with the idea that if he
feeds right, he can sell to a better ad
vantage and thereby will have made
his OWN money with which he can
buy pure bred pigs—the Club plan is
better.
Good wishes will surely attend the
Doctor in his efforts to develop this
Club, and it is the belief that it wili
go a hundred per cent strong in its
membership, and that without de
lay, in Decatur county, where boys
abound in fine judgment and good
common sense.
