TOBACCO BRINGING HIGH PRICES 01 LOCAL MARKET 56,000 POUNDS OPENING DAT Almost Sixty Thousand Pounds of Tobacco Sold Hero Last Thursday ?Average Price over Twenty Dollars per Hundred?HERALD Befiita a Weekly Market Report. ' t Almost 00,000 Donnds of tobac co ww sold on the Aboski^ mar ket last Tliuraday, the opening day of the Ahoskie tobacco season. The average price paid for tbia tobacco was over twenty cent* and alxive . that of any of the larger markets, as Wilson. Rocky Mount, Greenville and Kinston. . Several piles of tobacco brought fifty cents per hundred and the thirties were very common. Despite the rain of the day be fore and the current predictions that the offerings 'would be lighter than that of last year, the number of pounds sold here this vear al most doubled the amount sold here 'on the same day last year. Each warehouse had on its floor almost twenty-eight thousand pounds, as against about thirty-seven thous and pounds sold here last vear, when there was only one ware house. Out of all those who had tobac co on the floors Ust Thursday not one has bad aught to say against the price they received for theirs. But, on the other hand eveybody got just a little more than they had dared hope for and some even doubled what tliey had predicted before leaving home. The "pin liooker?" made monev, while the farmer who sold his tobacco to this specie thought lie was "stick ing a sucker." One man who I sold a load of tobacco in the wagon for fortv dollars stood by and saw | this same tobacco, for which he i thought he leoeived an enormous I ?? # a Li J-i price, sell lor Heveiiiv-eigi" um Isrs, lacking juat two dollar? doubling what he had sold it foiT Mr. J. B. Modlin, a prominent i farmer living near Ahoskie, upon leaving home that morning re- ( marked that he would lie satisfied should hu receive seventv-five dol lar* for wlikt lie was taking to market. later .in the day he walked into the doors of one of the k^eal banks with a check for for one hundred *Dd forty-six dol- ; lars, the net proceeds of Ilia tobac co. And just such instances as these were numerona. Th? first sale began at the Bas night Warehouse just a few min utes before the noon hour, and ' hardly befoae the bidding had begun, the man standing by who < sold his tobacco, in the barn began 1 to feel a somewhat disagreeable feeling co"se over him?a feeling ol incense at his own action. They realized that the local warehouse- ! men and tobacco men bad been giving them some "straight done" , when they advised them to hold , their tobacco and market it on the , floor of tiie warehouse. And those who had tobacco on the floor stood by and saw their tobacco bring prices they had never received 1 before. The excellent prices con tinued through the sales in both | warehouses. Aside from the selling of the tobacco, the large sales and good prices mentioned in this article, there whs another vdry significant thing about this day. Another large, jubilant, and good natured crowd visited Ahoskie?and Ahos kie is the better for harboring these people on this day. They aided in stimulating business, be sided making it possible for a bet ter feelinfc to exist between tnis locality and others?a feeling of fellowship and good will. In fact it is ipst such days as these that aid in making this a bigger and better town. We stick "these words in here to remind our people that they are helping tliem aeivea when they promote a local Vobacoo market here, and further (Continued on page four) 1 Winton Waveletls Busy People Free ?

It i' doubtful if atiy large in dustry in the United States has had to face so' serious a proposi tion, because when prices of raw materials have advanced the man facturers of ike finished products have advanced their prices and thus tin own the burden on the ul timate consumer. In the newspa per business this has not vet been done. The newspapers, from the largest dailies to the smallest weeklies, twfe been bearing the burden which to many publications will mean complete destruction and to man; others the wiping out of all profit. Hud the newspapers of the country been as prompt to defend their own interests as well aa they have the interests >f others, they, too, would before this have undertaken themselves by an ad- < vance in subscription price and in advertising rates. Under ex isting conditions they will be forc ed to do this sooner or later, and i they cannot postpone it much lon ger without serious financial em barrassment to many of them, j Hundreds of the smaller weeklies, includiug the religous papers, which have had but a narrow mar gin between loss and profit, will, we fear, suffer most seriously, and many of them disastrously, unless tne public promptly recognizes the situation and accepts an ad vance in subscription and adver tising rates and thus saves the sit uation. The day laborer, the mechanic, the farmer, and nearly all busi ness, interests, manufacturing and mercantile, under the activity of the times are showing larger earh ings than for years. But the newspapers, as a whole, are meet ing a perplexing problems, in the doubling, and in some cases the trebling, of price of paper, and in ' the absolute inability to contract for supplies, than tbev have ever had to face before. The state ments which have recently appear ed in tne daily Dapers on the sub ject do not at all exaggerate the seriousneos of the problem.?Man ufacturers Record, Baltimore. Meeting of Epworth League.

I. IB?. ?nil To the Democrats of Hertford (kiunty: u, I address you in interest at Judge Winston's candidacy for the nomination for Judge in the pri mary t? be held on September tlh. 1910. I urge you to attend and vole for hiin. In last week's Hertford Herald, Dr. C. G. Powell, one of the beat men and one of the most progres Cj hi re citizens of Hertford County, save many excellent reasons why Judge Winston should be nomin ated. Judge Winston is receiving very strong support from the best men iu every county of the dis trict and a l?rge number of news papers give him editorial endorse ment. Men of every business, piofession and calling are actively at work for hie nomination. They know what a good Judge he has made and they are patriotic en ough to want a good Judge. I am now able to say that Judge Winston will be nominated and 1 base m.v opinion on what numbers of well informed men in every l->cality in the district report the situation to be. Uwmg to lux position on tne bench he is not able to canvass for the nomination and it is not pro per for him to do so. The people generally know that Judge Winston was appointed to succeed the late Judge R. B. Peebles. He was not a candidate for the appointment and made no application for it and he knew nothing about it until be was noti- ? fled that Governor Craig would ^ appoint him if he would accept. _ Governor Craig then made his ap pointment and he accented and went at once to Robeson County and held Court. He is now filling the office with credit to himself pr and with honor to the district and pj State. If space permitted, I would in give the public extracts from the fli hundreds of letters, telegrams and te newspapers received by him com- ca mending his appointment. As .. you know a North Carolina Judge E under our present system holds court in half the Counties of the A, State and other districts are equal ly interested in his nomination. I am sure 1 do not need to tell the people of this district how well Judge Winston loves them, nor how well he has served them. The people of this district are very dear to him. No man takes 4 greater pride in the promotion of i its people than he does. No, man woman or child in + Bertie County ever called on him in vain. He loves his fellow man ? and this fact the people of Beitie County know well. He is Bertie CountyV?first and best known pubUo/and private citizen, rf. He is proud of his bounty and state and with him it is the best 4?! spot on earth. (1} .Judge Winston is the second resident Superior Court Judge Bertie County ever had. David 41 Stone held that office more then a 'I hundred years ago. I believe the 1 people will take pride in voting " for him, because he reflects honor on the them by his magnificent work oy the bench. fl It is no usq referring to his pub- 4 lie services for they are a part of the States history. He has filled 41 places of trust tnd honor, and his *1 conduct has always turned the at- J tention of the state to his people. 2 I urge, fellow Democrats, that M your give him you active support ' as one of the most loyal and active workers for the Democratic party _ in the State. He has never hesi tated to give his time, talent and 4 means for the advacement of his J party whenever and wherever 4 needed. ' C Your friend, 4 J. H. Matthews.
