Hie acreage survey made by tax list ers, which will be published soon by the Cooperating Crop Reporting Ser vice, shows the state has 5 5 4,000 acres. The average yield per acre as reported is 560 pounds, which in dicates a larger production than was generally expected. According to the crop report North Carolina is first in the Value of the tobacco crop und rattkq second only to Kentucky in production. A gross retail profit not to exceed 50 per cent on the invoice cost has been announced by Henry A. Page, State Fair-Price Commissioner, as a reasonable margin of gain to mer chants in North Carolina, the regu lation being effective Monday. De cember 15. The announcement was made in an address before the Mer chants' Association in Wilson Tues day night, and brings to an end the controversy that arose some weeks ago between the commissioner and the merchants of the state. The reg ulations are as follows: 1 The practice of having differ ent prices for different people will be considered a violation of the Lever Act; there must be on fair price to everybody. 2 To offer for sale any merchan dise that does hot heaf the selling H ice hi plain figures, provided the form Of sltcli Merchandise allows space for Marking saute, will he con sidered h violation of Ihe net.

This la not to be coustrueil to mean that all merchandise as classed above should bear 50 per cent profit, since, if he found a merchant adher lug to thia rule to eacupe the clutches of tho law, it would be counted against him. 00 Per Cent for Women. 4 A maximum margin of 60 per cent on Invoice la allowed on all wo nten'rt ready-to-wear. To charge more than 60 per cent In to violate the n mended Lever uct. - 5 Full replacement value will not be allowed, but the merchant will he expectd to average cost of clothing, shoes, etc., in determining new and advanced prices. (Mr. Page explain ed this by saying that a serge suit purchased last spring at $20 might cost the merchant $40 If purchased today. This would not justify the merchant in marking a regular per centage of profit on the $40 suit and then bring the price of the suits car ried over up to this level). 6 These regulations are effective December 15,. .and any merchant, who LIQUOR OWNERS ARE DISTRESSED Washington, Dec. 17. The owners of liquor, who had hoped the deci sion of the Supreme Court of the United States would permit thera to get rid of their enormous stocks now tied up, are making desperate eTort to secure the right to unload them before the bell taps on them January 16, when constitutional prohibition goes into effect. The only hope" now is for the war time ban to be lifted by repeal or by ratification of the peace treaty this seems to be the last lingering hope of the liquor people. But only the anxioti3 holders of liquor appear to have the slightest hope that anything will be don? in time for the vast values to be saved to the owners. The dry leaders say there is not the slightest chntice for the law to he repealed, and everybody knows rati fication of the treaty will not take place any time soon, at least 'not in lime in pave the liqnnf people.

Planned to Get Rich. If this vast amount of liquor could have been turned loose upon the country Just for the brief period be tween now and the 16th of January and present prices could have been maintained, the liquor owners would have suddenly become rich, for in some sections, it is said, whiskey Is now selling for $40 a gallon it takes from $10 to $15 to get a quart of Chrioiina thiH In former era.
