Good Tobacco Is Bringing a Premium on the Williamston Market I Advertiser* Will Fad Oar Col mm ■ Latchkey to Over Sixteen I Hundred Martin Comity Home* VOLUME XXXVI—NUMBER 74 201 OWNERS OF PROPERTY HERE ARE ADVERTISED Property Of Delinquents To Be Sold Second Monday In December Two hundred and one delinquent tax accounts are being advertised by the town of Williamston today for sale the second Monday in Decem ber, the list representing an unpaid amount in the sum of $7,808.33. Last year there were i/4 delin quent accounts representing an un paid sum of $7,641.39. While the number of delinquents this year was increased by 27, the unpaid taxes were larger only by $166.94 over the unpaid amount for 1931. Last year the unpaid amount was $7,641.39 or a sum greater by $1,718.78 than the 1931 unpaid accounts. Up until today the town had col lected $34,039,72 of the $41,848.05 levy for the year 1932, an increase in total collections of about SBOO over the income received up until the same time last year for 1931 taxes. Even though the number of delin quent accounts was increased along with the unpaid amount, the 1932 col lection record reflects an improve ment in that it was within S2OO of its mark reached last year while the 1931 collection record was nearly $2,000 short of the record for the previous year of 1930. And, too, gthe bonded indebtedness was automatically in creased in 1932, making the total levy larger. Then there were a few accounts carried over when checks were issued against insufficient funds. Deduct these amounts and the un paid amount would actually he small er than it was last year. Many property owners will handle their accounts between now and the second Monday of next month, it is believed, bringing the collections within two Or three thousand dollars of the goal.

Another Successful Week On Local Tobacco Market With nearly 100,000 pounds of to bacco on the floors today, the local tobacco market is completing another successful week. Averages have ranged well above the 20-cent mark all-week, and with one or two excep tions, sales have been comparatively heavy all week. Present indications point to a very favorable selling period next week, with the price trend ranging upward. AGRICULTURAL SITUATION NOW SEEMS BRIGHT Farmers Appear Optimistic For Higher Prices For Their Products The agricultural Situation in North Carolina is distinctly improved. To bacco prices are much more favor able in spite of the large crop. Cot ton farmers are not so blue. Peanut growers are beginning to smile. Small grain operations show opti mism. Hay crops have been good in yields and harvest conditions. Ex cellent conditions prevailed for har vesting both kinds of potatoes, al though the yields of late Irish pota toes were generally short. In general, prices are improving, althou&ii the purchasing power of the farhier's dollar is riVing slowly. October weather conditions were generally favorable. The month was warm and dry. Killing frost came late in the month, followed by good rains. Trees that were heavy with green leaves the first of November were practically bare of any kind by the tenth. Frost and freezing were frequent during this time. That the United States November Ist, 1933, corn crop estimate of 2,290,- 000,000 bushels justifies a good price is indicated by its being 9 per cent The soy bean crop is short every where, as are Virginia type peanuts. Pecans arc short in North Carolina and less than 1931, but arc more than last year for the southern states. Cig arette tobacco shows for flue-cured production 89 per cent increase and hurley 33 per cent.

Price Trends The present prices of corn at about 75 cents are above the last two years, in spite of a very short crop last year. The same holds for wheat and rye at SI.OO, oats at 60 cents and barley at 80 cents. Cotton has varied from 9 to 10 c.ents fur the past six months. Sweet potatoes average 60 cents in October, which is slightly above twelve months ago and com-, pajed with about 90 cents for 1927- 30 shows the high est rage for about four years, but the promised cut in acreage next year together with the short crop last year are responsible, l'eanuts average almost 2.5 cents per pound.

Thieves ■ had gone there during the night, | broke in a window, unbarred the jdoor and hauled the sls heater away. The children * were celebrating | around an open fire a short distance j from the building when the professor peddaled his bicycle to the scene. Hill saw the smoke rising when a short distance from the school ground, saw the smoke rising and concluded the building was afire. He peddled harder and faster, and even though rfie building was safe, the ; school man was about as badly dis appointed when he found the heater missing as he would have been had the building been burning.
