Promptly at 10 a. m. Tuesday the auctioneers voice was first head at the Center Brick, where a good size break was had. There were farm i ers from all sections of this territory' —Johnston, Nash, Franklin and Wake counties—with a few' loads from other ! counties. The prices paid on the Cen ter Brick floor seemed t osaistfy a majority of thyse offering tobacco for sale. Practically every one was pleased. The tobacco offered for sale was mostly primings—a few -piles of good tobacco cquld be seen in several 1 places. These particular piles brought | a good price. The second sale being at Wiggs’ warehouse and at this warehouse was about the same amount of tobacco on the floor. The prices paid at this house was good for the quality of to bacco, even the very thrashy lugs fig ured in the high price schedule. Every one seemed pleased, and the Stephens Bros, made a hit with a great many | farmers on their initial appearance on ( the Zebulon market. The men at the j head of this warehouse are “men who j know tobacco,” and they intend to I show the farmers that they are their ! friend, and will see that they get the j worth of the tobacco. The third sale was at the Farmers i warehouse, where Fred Cheatham is | manager, and those that had tobacco | at the Farmers warehouse were well ! pleased from start to finish.

PRICE: One Year, $1.50; Single Conies. >. NEED TO VIEW THE ELEMENT I For only a fraction of the cost in ! rents, taxes and municipal improve ments each and every family may secure a few acres of land build there i on a home along the improved high ways, raise fruits and garden stuff; keep cows, chickens and live very j much cheaper. Too many children are raised to manhood and womanhood who have never seen the heavens all aglow with the millions of stars that bedeck the heavens, because they are raised in towns and cities where the street lights blot out, for them, all the beau ties of nature. This idea was suggested to th«| writer a few weeks ago when he stop ped in a country village to spend the night and a New England lady who was also stopping over happened to ■ look up and get a view of the heavens j all aglow with the myrads of stars. -She stood in awe for awhile and chip ping her hands with deligh' went out and marveled at the view saying she had never seen such wonderous beau ty. She, like many city children who l are raised in cities lighted by elec tricity had never seen the heavens in all their beauty on a clear night. WAKE FOREJT TO OPEN SEPTEMBER 14TH j • Wake Forest, Sept. 6.—Wake Forest j students who will return here for the 1 fall session commencing September 14 will find among other changes and improvements on the campus the new library extension and bui’ding which will be ready for occupancy shortly after the opening, of school, j The new building will also give to the law school adequate library and : classroom facilities. The building is 60 by 65 feet in dimensions, two stories tall, and is* constructed of fireproof material. The three downstairs rooms of the old bui’ding have been remodeled ' and will all be used for reading rooms I Formerly one of these rooms was used ■ as a law classroom, one for the stor i age of' books, and one for a reading | room. The second floor of the new {building is divided into four spacious ! classrooms. The law library will be located in the central upstairs room ; of the old building. Dr. N. Y. Gulley, veteran dean of I the law department, is delighted with I *he prospect of adequate space for his i classes. Dr. Gulley’s classes have* i grown steadily throughout the years, | and of late conditions in lvis depart i meat have become extremely crowded. ! PROPOSES ERECTION OF WORLD WAR MEMORIAL Mount Airy, Sept. 4.—The Board of Public Welfare of Surry county ! composed of A. H. Wolfe, C. L. Bell and J. II .Carter has made a state ment through the papers of the coun ty to the effect that an effort will be | made to erect a monument during the coming winter to be unveiled at the county commencement next Spring in honor of the heroes. The sum of $1,161.10 was raised by the school children of the county in a campaign ending March, 1923 and this sum less a small amount of ex pense has since been on interest and amounts to $1 ,314.22 and is available as a nucleus for other funds to be col lected during the coming months. An epidemic of measles cut short the I first effort to raise funds for the ; monument and drought and money I stringency in the county due to poor i crop conditions have made it neces ! sary to defer action until the present 1 time.

EVERETT MAKES RECORD BREAKER Secretary of State Everett turned more than a quarto rof a million dol lars into the State treasury last year, which is more than double the arhount that any Secretary of State ever turn ed in before. The exact amount disclosed by his annual report for the last biennium is $282,452,26 for the fiscal year, end ing July 1, while the amount for the previous fiscal year was $119,325.38. The larger part of the* quarter of a million dollars is in the corporation tax, which amounted to $225,673,22 as compared with 875,963.80 for the previous fiscal year. The trebling o-f the corporation tax, which is made up of fees charged for•incorporating cornora fions, is accounted for largely by the $130,000 levied upon the Carolina Power and Light Company when it consolidate and reincorporated. That was a record breaker in itself, but Secretary Everett would have been able to show an increase in these re ceipts. Fees paid by foreign corporations last year amounted to $25,117.20 that is also a large increase as compared with $9,521.18 for the previous year. There was a slump in the sale of Supreme Court reports last year, the amount being received being $7,980.78 as compared to $10,977.07, but the total for the biennium ex ceeds that of any previous biennium. Other items in the report include fees including the placing of the great seal, sale of legislative jour nasl, corporation fees, corporation seals.
