W OPENS HI STONEVILIE
Between Fifty and Sixty Thou-;
fa rid Pounds Sold the Opening
LJay at an Average of 24 Cents.
Stoneville, Sept. 23. The
opening of the tobacoo sesson
here yesterday proved to be one
of the most successful in the last
two years. There were between
50, IKK) and >o,ooo pounds sold,
averaging near 14 cents. The
farmers were better pleased
with the opening sales, than at
any time for the last few years,
ar.d the warehousemen report
better satisfaction than they
have been able to boast of since
back in the MHI'S.

let Against law
to Kill Buzzards
The turkey buzzard is one of
the three worst agents by which
bog cholera is disseminated in
this State. The other two are
free range, and running streams
ar.d overflows. Whenever the
carcass of an animal is left on
top of the ground, no matter
what was the cause of death, the
buzzards are certain to be attract
ed to the carcass. If the carcass
is one of a cholera hog they
feed upon it and fly away to some
other farm, at times many miles
away and they are certain to
carry hog cholera germs with
them. If these germs are deposi
ted in reach of other hogs they
are certain to cause an outbreak
of cholera The importance of
burying all carcasses, especially
carcasses of other infectious dis
eases, cannot be emphasized too
much.
There is a general impression |
among all farmers that the buz-1
zards are protected by law. This
teems to be an erroneous idea.
considerable search of the
statute, we have not been able to
find any law that would protect
the buzzard. Since there is no
question but what the buzzard
disseminates disease germs,
especially hog cholera germs,
every farmer would be justifiable
in killing all the buzzards he pos
sibly can. -Dr. B. B. Flowe,
North Carolina State Veterinar
ian.
War Increases Use
ot Tobacco and Com.
Thomas Shotwell, a New York
tobacco expert, thinks that the
war has increased the use of
tobacco and chewing gum in this
country 10 per cent. "Ameiican
consumption of tobacco and
chewing gum has greatly increas
ed since the war began," he
said. Everybody has taken on a
case of nerves over the big scrap.
Men become so excited over
bulletins they keep puffing or
chewing almost all the time. The
tobacco business has increased
about 10 per cent. There has
been a particularly large increase
in the sale of cheap cigars.
Foreigners who have been unable
to answer the call to their colors
keep glooming around the bul
letin boards with a stogie as
their sole source of comfort. Or
it may be a big wad of tobacco.
Women have to take theirs out on
something else, and it has fallen
to the lot of chewing gum to take
the edge off of their nerves.
Agents of chewing gum factories
tvll me their factories have been
working 24 hours each day to
supply the greatest demand in
their history.
Mrs. J. C. Buxton and daugh
ter, Miss Anna, of Winston-Sal
tm, accompanied by Mrs. H. L.
Edwards, of Texas, came up
Thursday to spend two weeks at
their attractivee cottage at Pied
mont Springs. They were joined
Sunday by Mr. Buxton and son,
Mr. Cam Buxton, of Philadel
phia.
k Object Lesson.
A prominent official of the
great railroad systems said re
cently that Winston-Salem had
about the best Fairs of any place
in the South. Your Fairs, said
he, are largely of an instructive
and educational nature, which
make them of value to the com
munity in which they are held.
The next Fair, which is to be
held during the we*k of Oct.
the sth, will be of special inter
est, in that extra efforts are be
ing made to induce large exhibits
in all departments. The Fair
authorities say that the large
premiums offered are having a
wonderfully good effect.
Take one department for an
illustration. We refer to the
lat'.ies' department. Thirty
ladies with the president and
other officers and about 15 com
mittees are hard at work to
make their exhibits the test in
the State. One of the interest
ing features of the ladies' depart
ment will be a better baby con
test and a large baby parade,
Another fine show will be the
commercial exhibits in the big
exposition building. Mr. W. W.
Smoak has charge of the live
stock show and it is his purpose
to pull off a great live stock
prade.
One of the great features of
the Fair will be the Educational
Exhibit under the management
of Prof. R. H. Latham, Superin
tendent of City Schools, and
Prof. Spease, County Superinten
dent of Education. A large
number of city and country
schools will contest for prizes in
1 this highly interesting show.
| On Tuesday of the Fair all school
| children will be admitted to the
i grounds frej of charge. Prof.
| Latham has extended an invita
tion to a numbtrof schools lo
j cated in towns in this section to
participate in the free invitation
to the Fair grounds on Tues
day.
Aside from the various ex
hibits, extra efforts are being
made to furnish amusements of
a high character and plenty of
them.
The Great Argyle Exposition
Co. will furnish 20 shows for the
Midway. A free entertainment j
will be given each afternoon in
front of the grandstand. Char"
lotte Brant, the celebrated song
bird, will be one of the free at
tractions.
Spectacular fireworks will be a
feature each night.
We have only named a few of
the features for the interesting
event. Come and see it all.
Dont forget that a visit to the
Winston-Salem Fair will do you
more good than medicine and
doctors. It will divert the mind,
renew your energy and put you
in the outside world. No place
like the Fair to meet old friends,
renew old acquaintances, make
new friends, enjoy the many
sights, join in the pleasures of
the occasion and forget about the
war.
