Herring Ordered to Deliver 160 Bales to Co-Ops

As a result of a hearing before Judge Cranmer in civil court here, George B. Herring of ??ston township, has been ordered to deliver 160 bales of cotton of the 1922, ’23, ’24, ’25, and ’26 crops to the North Carolina Cotton Association. Herring had signed contracts with the co-ops agreeing to deliver 160 bales several years ago. He contended that he had not delivered the cotton to the association because it was held by creditors.

No cases were disposed of in court yesterday, Judge Cranmer having gone to his home in Southport for the week-end. The verdict in the Herring case was brought in Friday but the judgment of the court was available only yesterday.

Erastus Newsom Had Trouble with New Nash Hand-Shift Gears, Oct. 17, 1926

Hand Shift Gears Get Erastus in Trouble

Erastus Newsom, colored, was not used to the hand-shift gears of the Nash he had secured in a trade, for he had for years manned a Ford. The result was that he drove his car into that of Dr. Poole, local dentist, on the Kinston road. This further unnerved him and he drove half a mile down the road and into a ditch, which effectively stopped him. Now Erastus will have to settle things with Mayor Porter Monday.

Joe Best, Tenant Farmer, Had Prosperous Year, Oct. 17,1926

Negro Farmer Makes Money. . . Joe Best, Tenant of J. E. Pippin, Will Clear $2,000 This Year

Despite low price cotton, Joe Best, colored, who farms for J. E. Pippin near Fremont, will clear about $2,000 on his farm this year.

Best planted 5 acres of tobacco and 13 acres of cotton. The 13 acres have netted 10 bales and there is another in the field, and have brought enough money to pay all the cropper’s debts.

That will leave him his tobacco—which will bring from $1,300 to $1,800—as clear profit,” said Mr. Pippin in talking about his tenant yesterday.

But what Best is attracting the attention of the neighbors with, is his hogs. He has three and by hog killing time they will be heavy enough to net a solid ton of meat. One fellow, not yet two years old, now weighs 800 pounds, and two others—all of them are Berkshires—each about a year old, weigh 600 pounds apiece.

Mr. Pippin estimates that Best will clear eight cents a pound on the hogs, which will give him another $160.
