Tobacco Prices on Local
Market Show a Marked
Improvement This Week
V. lit ii the tobacco markets opened
in Fastern Carolina farmers needed
nu :u, badly anl practically all the
i . ilets were glutted which brought
uri io\v prices but since the weather
i a.- tin led of fund "the rush is cleared
avvu, pliers look much better. We
li i> e noticed various averages i'or ah
t';o surrounding markets as published
ir advertisements. by warehousemen
HI-.' then seems to lie little difference
in them. For our own satisfaction w*
examined some o lthe .-.ales on prim
ings sold on the VVilliautston ifiarket
opening sale and the actual sales show
that:

ATTORNEY-GENERAL
NOT A CANDIDATE
Attorney 'ieneraJ J. S. Manning has
, boon 'le.itiue.y eliminated as a proli
able successor to Justice W. R. Allen
on the Supreme Court bench. Judge
Manning announced in Charlotte last
■ night that lie hail refused to allow
friends to v resen* his name as a camli
date lor the . ougeship.
It was stated here, yesterday that
Judge Mann.i.g hail already committd
himself, in wnting to a friend in Ua
liegli to the effect that he would net
accept a{ipt ir tinent to the Supreme
Court bench. Before this it has been
stated 011 almost as good authority
1 that tiowrnor Morrison had tentative
ly offered the appointment to Judge
Manning but the latter has declined.
.i«»*rnor Morrison himself voic,'d his
belief last week that Jutlge Manning
would not care for the office, . and
then lie added the expression of hi.
own views that the office ought not
lo lie cheapened by tendering it where
it would be refused.
This leaves Jutlge W. t. Atlanis as
the outstanding candidate but his ap
pointment is not yet assuretl I lie score

cation of courts in some counties by
the superintendent of the hospital for
the insane at Morganton no more
patients could be received ut that in
stitution, because of crowded condition

pie hoped they would never again hear
o fthe jaiing of these
the county jails.
Of course the legislatrue must give
this subject renewed consideration
and increase the size of the hospitals
The state is constantly growing aad
thrre a-iI I be a proportionate increase
in the number of these unfortunates
