Aurora, N.C.—Insisting that they will no longer work for the low wage offered them by the Beaufort county farmers, negro potato diggers here have quit their jobs. The growers recently agreed among themselves on a wage scale of 10 cents a barrel. Aurora is the shipping point for one of the largest potto sections in North Carolina.
From the Mount Airy News, June 9, 1921
