GOOD NEWS FOR THE ~vZ>. Tobacco Crop Excellent and Will probably Average Eleven Cents Or More —Doj't Rush to Market But Prepare Your Tobacco Well. The following notes are taken from this week's issue of the Southern Tobacco Journal: We fiave for several years ad vocated the closing of tobacco warehouses during the month of July each year in the oli' tobacco belt. For some time no attention was paid to our suggestion. Re cently, however, there has devel oped a strong sentiment in favor of our proposition. The Danville, Va., Tobacco Association at its annual meeting appointed a com mittee to investigate the propriety of such a move. The retiring president in his annual apdress, strongly recommended that the warehouses close for July and presents arguments in favor of th e recornmeudation. We have re ceived numerous letters from va rious sections of the old belt en dorsing our position, and from what wo can see the only thing needed is a concert of action. We suggest that each old belt market appoint a committee, as tbe Dan ville market has done, and that at some convenient time these com mittees get together and discuss the matter and decide as to what is best in the premises. We are still of the opinion that warehousemen throughout the country should atlvise farmers not to rush their tobacco to market too fast this season. While it is a good plan to "kill a hog when it is fat," arid to sell the crop when prices are good, farmers should, by all means, bring their tobacco to market in as good condition as possible. We do not believe that tobacco is going to sell any lower this year than it is now. Mr. P. A. Gorrell, member of the firm of A. B. Gorrell & Sons, Farmers' warehouse, Winston, re turned from Mullins, S. C., last week, at which place he is inter ested in the warehouse business. Mr. Gorrell says that tobaoco is averaging not less than cents in South Caaolina, and that farm ers are generally well pleased with the prices. The acreage yield is good and there is money in the crop this year. Mr. Gorrell thinks that from 65 to 70 per oent. of this year's crop has been marketed in South Carolina. Wc noticed on the floor at Pied luout warehouse at Winston last week a lot of new tobacco that was gathered from a half acre of land. The tobacco weighed about 630 pounds, or between twelve and thirteen hundred pounds to the acre. This is a fine jield for this section, and shows that the crop is a good oue.

Date of Greensboro's Celebration and Home-Coming Set For First Week in Next July, to Begin on the Fourth. Greensboro, Sept. 13.—1n the room of ttie chamber of commerce here this afternoon nt 5 o'clock was held a meeting of the central committee recently appointed to make preparations for the centen nial celebration and home-coming of the former residents of the city and county, which is to take place here next year. The committee fixed the date for the celebration the first weekjof next July. The affair will be opened by the celebration at Guilford Battle Ground Saturday, the 4th, and will last through Wednesday, the Bth. This date was decided upon after a quite lengthy discussion as to the advisability of holding it at some other season.

Mrs. Kizzie Venable, of Suiry County. Elkin, Sept. 15.—Mrs. Kizzie Variable died at her home near Dobsoa Thursday after a long and painfull illness with cancer of the stomach. Her husband, Stephen Venable, former sheriff of this (Surry) county, preceded her to the spirit-land ab rnt fonr years ago. Mrs. Venable wns about 68 years : Id, and her life was devoted to good works and kind deeds. She was a do voted wife, and the greatest happiness was in making he husband happy, while her children are regarded as her most precious jewels. She was kind to all, and the poor and unfortunate always found in her a friend. Nodeserv ing jierson was ever turned away empty-handed from the door of Uncle Steve and Aunt Kizzie, as they were familiarly called. Her mortal remains were laid to rest Thursday afternoon by the side of her husband in the home bury iug ground. Four daughtera and one aon are left to mourn their irreparable loss. The Apple Crop. While the apple crop in most sections is a failure, this pnrtiou'ar section has been greatly favored this season, f>r never in the his tory of the o6unty has there been so inuoh of this fruit along the foot of the mountains and in the Chestnut Ridges. Already from this market alone 200,000 bushels of Buokinghams have been ship ped and a third of that variety re mains in the orchards. It is es timat-'d that the fall crop will be as large in proportion, and it is freely predicted that a half million bushels of apples will leave In re before tbe Christmas holidays. These apples will average tils year about 75 cents per bushel, and this wtti give tome idea of tbe magnitude of an industry that grows y«arly.~Mt. Airy Lander. \ WINSTON-SALEM SPECIAL. ':' !*£-MO' A v ITS OVER 9*1,000,000. New . Jersey Corporation Coutrols the Sto|k Of More Than Seven ty Corporations Engaged In the Refining and Trans- f portation Of Oil. New York, Sept. 17.—Delving into the financial workings of the Standard Oil Co., of New Jersey, the holding company of all the subsidiary organizations of tbe so called oil trust, Fiank B.

Inja 8 years, from 1899 to 1901), inclusive, the Standard Oil Co., in a statement spread up on the record of today's hearings, was shown to have earned the to tal profits of $490,315,934, or at the rate of more a year, and distributed §to its shareholders in the same period of $308,359,403. While the comiwmy was earning these vastjsums in the refining of oil, the statements adduced at the hearing today show that between 1899 and 1906, the assets of the company grew by leaps and bounds, from 8200,791,233 to §371,- 704,531. The capital stock is §98,- 338,282.

May a Girl Work tier Way Through College ? ''Undoubtedly ii is-possible for a girl to work lier way through col leg*'," writes JJJMargaret E. Siuigster in the October Woman's Home Companion, "if she have exceptional brain power, excep tional pluck and exceptional health. To accomplish this difficult task without pecuniar) aid fiom relatives or friends is a very formidable undertaking, and it is hardly wise to attempt it unless one is sure of having the requisite physical capital and of being able to stand the strain of a long, hard and wearisome pull Girls have done this, girls art doing it now, and girls will con tinue to do it, but the race i* encumbered by heavy weights, ai d the rowing is up stream. In college there are manj openings for earning money, and it may be remarked that not>od> loseß caste or is treated with con descension because she is frankl) poor. A girl with a knack for sewing may use her needle and receive pay from students who do uot wish to sew or mend. She ma> make shirt waists, trim hate, mend stockings, sew on buttons, repair skirts and do a number of useful things that will help her along. "In a Western college I met several young women who had paid their way by sweeping, dust ing. washing windows and clean ing paint, by taking hold, in short, of anything that offered, whether it was hard or easy. In this particular college the expenses were less than in mora luxurious institutions in the East, and I almost thought that the students had a more insatiate love of learning and an intenser personal ambitun than I had seen else where."
