The SinithHeld tobacco market jpened Tuesday being the first to open in North Carolina for this season. It had been looked orwurd to with great interest by the tobacco people generally and juite a number of tobacconists A'ere here to witness the opening wiles. Goodly quantities of tobacco ivere sold 011 the Moors of each of our large warehouses?t he Hau ler, the Riverside and the Far mers. While the tobacco sold .vas of a low grade, lieing princi ually lugs, the prices were very ;ood. The farmers were well sat sMed at the prices their tobacco irought and all weut home well aleased?better pleased than I lave ever seen them before on j my large sale day. I heard one j man say that he got 12 cents a pound for tobacco that he would :iave been satisfied with !? cents. Another said he didn't exjiect more than 5 cents average, while the average price received was 8 jents. Similar expressions were heard from many. It was a very successful open-; ing and our tobacconists are well pleased at the results. All the tobacco sold was bought by buyers who will be! on tTiis market the entire season.' Several of the buyers told me that the prices were normal and they expected a continuance of as good, or even better prices throughout the season. The sales prove that Smith field is as good a market as any in Kastern Carolina and the far mer who sells here will make no mistake Mr. Simms at the Baptist Church. .\lr. Robert N. Simms, an able young lawyer of Raleigh, and chairman of the "Twentieth Cen tury Educational Movement," for the Raleigh Baptist Associa tion, delivered an address in the Baptist church here Sunday at the hour for morning service. He reviewed the history and growth of the Baptists for the last one hundred years. He laid special stress on the subject of education, showing the great in crease in the number of educa cational institutions of the Bap tist church during the last hun dred years and showed how the people might the more honor Christ and His cause by raising j a memorial to God for llis good ness. He called attention to the fact that at the last State Conven tion a resolution was passed to raise $100,000 for educational purposes during the year 1901; that the first $25,000 raised was to go to the Baptist Female University at Raleigh, and the remainder to be divided among the Baptist educational institu tions of the State. At the close of his address a collection was taken and about $00 in casn and pledges was raised. Mr. Simms is an able and inter esting speaker and the people of Smithfield were well pleased. We hope to have him with us agaim. A Fine Field of cotton. Mr. J. T. Barham showed us a stalk of cotton yesterday morn ing which measured 5% feet high. It was well limbed and filled with squares and bolls. It was taken from the field of Messrs. W. L. Fidler and J. T. Barham, of near town. They have fifteen acres that will average as good as the stalk shown us. The rows which are four feet apart now lap throughout the field. If nothing happens to retard its growth from now on they confidently ex pect 25 500-pound bales off of the 15 acres. It is perhaps the best field of cotton in this section of the State.
