Tobacco Market Opens Monday The stage is set for the opening of Rocky Mount's Tobac co Markets on Monday morning, August 26. The day is looked upon as our most important day to farmers as the growing of tobacco has come to be Nash and Edgecombe's most important money producing crop. Rocky Mount has been looked upon since the beginning of the raising of tobacco in the eastern part of the state as a real tobacco town. Warehouses were first to be opened here in the east and from the date of the opening of the first warehouse, Rocky Mount Tobacco Markets have grown more and more each year. The growth has been steady, systematic and annual. On account of demands for more warehouse space which was needed last season, two large new warehouses have been added and two additions to old warehouses, which gives Rocky Mount more than one fourth more space to sell the farmer's tobacco than last year and there is sufficient space now in Rocky Mount to handle great expected sales without being blocked. The season's highest prices have always been maintain ed in Reeky Mount. FAIR BAR EXAMINATIONS The Bar Committee recently held one of their semian nual examinations.
