S 'III HIM.EIi. MONEY SPENT FOR AUTOS IN N. C.. Our Cars Cost Us $71,561,100 During 1025—Dealers Sold 65,596 New Cars To People, Of State Last Year. Raleigh, Feb. 12. North Carolina people spent $71,501,400.00 in buy ing automobiles during the year 1925, which covered the purchase of 65,506 new cars valued at $5-1,110,- 700 and 40,842 used cars valued at $17,444,700, according to figures made public yesterday by Sprague Silver, of the automobile license bu reau of the department of revenue. This brings the total registration cars to Jan. Ist to 356,200 in the | State. An additional 11,338 were registered during the month of Jan uary, bringing the February Ist ■ registration to 367,589, which is an I automobile to every 6.8 persons of the two million and a half residing , in the State. I There were probably 5,000 cars sold in December which were not registered until January hence these figures represent th.' cars which . ' r • actually registered last year. It is the same with the used car sales, the figures representing the transactions which were molded. I Guilford and Mecklenburg counties lead the State with the greatest number of cars, Mr. Silver stated, although he was not prepared to give absolute figures on the various sections. Guilford probably had a slight margin on Mecklenburg. For syth would come third and Wake fourth in the number of cars per county.

Walnut Cove, Feb. I!.—Plans for the erection of a large furniture fac tory here have about been closed. However there yet remains thirty thousands dollars in stock to be sub scribed by business men here before the company will begin erection of the faoiory. It was stated by a prominent busi ness man here today that Walnut I Cove has been bidding for the fac- I tory for some time and will not let the opportunity of drawing this I large enterprise here slip by, for it will mean a larger fray-roll, und means of drawing more people here to the already increasing population. It i.> understood that the linn that is considering Walnut Cove as a location is being formed at Pulaski, Va., altho the names of the inter | ested parties could not be learned because of the absence of local men who have had a part in establishing the factory here. The location of the plant will be in South Walnut Cove, where access to the Norfolk and Western and At lantic and Yadkin Railways will be easy, and due to the splendid huild | ing lots now available in that part 'of the town. This place already has several growing industries, tin- largest nf these being the Dan llivcr Lumber and Milling Co., the Gilmer-Smith Veneer Co., ami a local sand plan'. [ that is doing a large business. Tile addition of the furniture factory will probably double the present 'payroll that the town has, and lie a means of drawing a greater num ber of employment seekers and their | families to this town. | 'MILLION DOLLARS MORE ON ROADS One Hundred and Sixty Con tractors Bidding On State lload Work Bring Prices To Low Figures. Raleigh, Feb. B.—Ten bidders to each highway project today gave a 1 competition for road business in North Carolina unprecedented and ; brought the figures for construction about as low as they have been. The hall of the house of repre sentatives resembled a Poole bill hearing or a woman suffrage debate in the olden times, for it was crowd ed to the lobbies and they were fill ed. There were 100 bidders asking for the work. The state let con siderably more than a million worth today. Guilford got none of the mileage but Guilford bidders bore otf a big slice of the business. The fur west ern nnd the far eastern counties far ed well. There was plenty of hard surface, but concrete did not pre dominate.

Hendren, county superintendent for schools. in Surry county, •>f 1h • favorable action of the state au thorities granting Surry a loan of $111,000.00 for school building pur poses in the county. The loans approved by the state are for Dodson, White Plains, Flat Hranch, Ararat, Rusk and Beulah. Two applications were not ap proved, that of SI"),000 for Flat Rock because the loan of $15,00 asked for was not sufficient for the needs of that community and the state could not approve a program which did not fully cover present needs. The second was for West- | field where Stokes citizens would I share in the iK'n.fits aiid yet did not I participate in the request for the loan to share their part of the ob ligation.

C. i Amount Of Wood (irown Last Year Has lit* t-n Kxeeedetl Only Twice In the History of The Industry. The amount of tobac > produced in North Carolina in 1025, was ex ceeded only twice in the history of the industry; J;'2.'{ and 1'.20.

The 1025 crop was worth about 12 million dollars more than the 11)24 crop. While the yield was considered Rood, it was considerably less than the (established) normal yield of H2D pounds per acre but is about ;in average for the past ten years in North Carolina, j The early part of the season was characterized by most favorable went her, though a shortage of planus in some localities prevented the planting of as large acreage as might have been the case. The ex tremely dry weather in tne upper Piedmont counties reduced the yield considerably but for the crop as a whole the leaf showed splendid de velopment with good weight and color. Farmers state that their yields Were considerably better than they had expected and the prices paid on the open markets have been fairly satisfactory. The average harvested was an ;n --cre-i •• over the 1'.'21 crop of about ;In per cent. Ii was the third larg e.-t acreage on re urd in the state.

Kentucky's tobacco crop was about 02 million pounds of tobacco mure than North Carolina, this state's . crop was worth 20 million dollars more than Kentucky's. North Carolina's tobacco acreage was considerably larger than that nr j any other state and represented o*«r 111 per cent of the national tobacco acreage. I The pounds yield per acre in North Carolina's bright leaf tobacco is lew than any other state except Vir ginia and Louisiana. | About 55 per cent of the tobai*e» I acreage is located in the "now bright belt" or the coastal counties, while the remaining lt> per cent is in the upper Piedmont or "old bright belt." The per acre value of the tobacco produced in North Carolina in 1025 averaged $151.80 which was consid -1 erably more than that of any opther crop grown. Tobacco production in 10 countries 1 forwhich data has been received, in dicate a crop about 2 per cent b low the crops produced in same county ' but an increase of :is per cent above the 1 S>OH-13 average. These countries accounted for 71 per cent of last year's estimated total world tobacco 1 crop, exclusive of India and China. The I'nited States, the world's most important producer, has a crop ' this year of 1 ~'1:550,000,000 pounds, ' according to the December estimate which is an increase of 00 per cent 1 over the 1021 crop of 1.212,000,000 pounds. Unusually good yield and quality are noted in practically all quality are producing areas of the I'nited States while in most other areas yield and quality were motv or less adversely affected by the un usually dry growing season. t\ ndi tions in Virginia, Kentucky and Ten nessee particularly have been unfav orable.
