TTTTTT D rr Tin tt y OKI AM 1 M'V;li -.. .. l-t SEMI- WEEKLY ' ' 1 1 ' RECORDER . ' ' " '"f ' VOLUME 90. A LITTLE WAREHOUSE GHAT ..The Wucea Season is Beginning to ' Cpca Up Now. THE FlEKin IET0RT GOOa.CBOPS Bartart WareSoase-men Getting fieaijr tsr Elj Sales of tbe Weed : tossrssi Planters'. The farmers from all over the county report that the tobacco crop is exceptionally big this year, and the outlook for a big haul of the weed to town is cer tain. Already the season is be ginning; to open up, and a few have brought in tobacco during the past few days. The primings brought in recently have ' been sold for good prices, ranging from it to $20 per hundred pounds. During the last session, the tobac co season running lrom Septein ber to September, the average of the prices tobacco sold for was about it cents per pound. This is an exceptionally good average, when it is considered how many grades there are of the tobacco, and generally so much of it iu of a poorer grade. In about fliree week the farm ers all over the county will be busy picking and curing the weed, but from now until Octo ber some few who have already begun work on their crop will be coming in with the product. The vrasoo will not open in full bloom until October, that month and November being the crowning months for its sale. Durham has three well equip jed warehouses, of which she is proud, the Parrisli, Banner and Planters'. At the close of busi ness for last season' the books showed the Banner Warehouse to have had larger sales, the Parrlsh ranking second, and Planters', which is the youngest of the three, holding the third place, m - However, the three stay very close together, and there is really little difference between the amount of business transacted by them. We will devote a few words to each of these places. THE PARRISH. It is always well to give to the oldest of any family the head puce, and it is quite appro priate that this honor, if there be any, fall to the managers of the l'airish Warehouse. It is the old est of tbe three, and one of the first ever built in Durham. At present it is under the manage mcnt of Messrs. J. W. Pope, W T. Carrington, and J. M. Pollard Mr. Pope has been connected with the warehouse almost since its very beginning, and is a staunch warehouse-man. Mr. Carrington has been in the business equally u leng, but has shifted from one place to another, finally coming t his present position. Mr. Pollard is the newest of the three at the work, having been associat ed with them for only two or three years. These gentlemen term a strong trio, and they are well up on anything concerning tobacco. The business done by them last season was larger than ever before, and their outlook for Hie future is iudced promising. "THE BANNER To the Banner WarrfiAMt )u. longs tbe prize for handling the iTcsi amount or the weed, even "lough the diflk-rcucc wasn't any thing atnoishing. The proprie tors-of this place are Messrs. May. Wd.AIangum.and J. A. Warren, . It ic cxpcnencec WDacco men, which is shown by the amount of business they are handling. -The Banner, u also ..one of Durham's oldest places of this kind, it having been moved, however, to its pre sent location several years ago, and is now a lip-top place for the gathering of farmers with any to bacco to sell. THE PLANTERS'. The Planters' Warehouse is the youngest of the three, having been established about five years ago. It was first under the man agement of Messrs. Maynard Man- gum and R. T. Umstead, but re cently Mr. Mangum has connect ed himself with the Banner, and now the proprietors of the Plant ers' are Messrs R. T. Umstead and J J. Riley. Since its birth, only five years ago, the Planters' has flourished greatly, and to-day ranks very closely to the others, " DURHAM, Nl (j. , AUGUST II, 1908.
