Early yeaterdav the warehouses |
\ytre all pretty well filled, and at 9 i
o'clock the first sale started at the j
Hyco All of the big companies were i
represented. and an unusually large
number of independent buyers, most j
of whom have large orders; and will i
be a factor on the market this season. I
Judging from the offering yester- |
day the crop this year is extra good,
having all the color desired, with)
good, rich body', and evidently is j
j;c.ng to bring a premium over the
" ceneral prices. The fact that. Person I
Is one of the few counties where the |
farmers have stuck to the old method '
and cut and cured the entire stalk. J
It one reason" why \ve~ say litis crop j
is sping to bring a premium
The first sale, as stated above, was j
at the Hyco. and" the house was full I
.to nyprflrnvm.ff Ar ;.nis ? '? ?misp ,80 fiQ1> 1
?pounds were' sold, at an average ' ofl
/ $18.10. It is pimple justice to the |
Hyco to state that their average was 1
pulled down by the fact that they '
hsd about 35.000 pounds of primings,
much of which was hauled from I
Lumber ton. and these primings were 1
r* Sponsible for the low average. Good i
Person . County tobacco sold well here i
and the average would measure up ?
v *h any of the other houses
The second sale, was at the Pioneer.
a;vJ they had a splendid sale, making,
an average of $21.1 fi. This was Mr.

whims ol a weather man today caus
ed him to unleash a three-ply fury
in the shape o! wind, rain and murk
lness, to climax the erratic dispensa
tion of celestial offerings of the past
several days.
From the mountains of Western
North Carolina to the Atlantic sea
boards major portions o( the state
alternately were deluged and wind
swept by copious rainfall phich as
sumed tloud-biirst proportions * and
winds which were near-gales in
force. -
Parts of the old North state for
a day or so had experienced tem
peratures above the normal summer
standard: some communities swelt
ered. This, coming swiftly on the
heels of premature fall weather too
cool to be comfortable had left the
populace In a state of uncertainty,
and today's torrential deluges and
fierce, driving winds, were the cli
matic episode of the state-wide en
semble of doubtful menus.
Potenitally disastrous in their in
tensity. storm* swept over Raleigh.
Siler City and other sections and
tonight a hasty check disclosed con
siderable wreckage in the form of
telephone poles, disrupted public util
ity functioning* and delayed trans
portation by road and common car

No loss of life or injury was re
