RaleigU Sells Much Tobacco
The Raleigh tobacco market
sold over 160,000 pounds of tobac
co in one day for a price that
averaged 40 cents a pound. This
was one of the largest sales yet
held on the Raleigh market,
which has been steadily increas
ing in price and amount since the
opening on September 20H).
The market barely escaped a
"blockade sale," the selling be
ginning at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing continuing until 4:15 p. m.
The Raleigh Warehouse, oper
ated by J. A. Warren and son, re
ported total sales for the day of
101,896 pounds at an average of
S4O 20 per hundred. The Wake
Warehouse under the management
of W. T. Morgan and Company,
sold more than G0,0()0 pounds at
around 4U cents. Prices for the
good tobaccos ran wild yesterday,
many piles of toediuin wrapers
being knocked out at 80 cents or
more, with 96 ceuts the peak for
the day. With heavy offerings
there was a preponderance of
bright lugs, cutters and wrapers
and the price average soared to a
level that even su prised farmers,
who expressed their satisfaction
with the figures in strong terms.
The percentage of the low grade
tobaccos was not sufficient to
bring the average down very far.
Warehousemen regard the sales
season as starting up in full blast
now, as farmers have about com
pleted the harvesting of cotton
aud other work about the farms.
The weather has bevn favorable
to such work, whereas it has been
unfavorable for preparing tobacco
for market because of the long
dry spell. Heavy sales' are ex
pected daily from uow on until
the bulk of the crop has.been dis
posed of.
The warehousemen announce
that hereafter the two houses will
open at midnight for the con
venience of farines bringing in
their offerings during the early
hours of Mondays.

THANKSGIVING DAY
President Harding by -Proclamation
Names Nov. 24th as Thanksgiving
Day.
"The season has come when
alike in pursuance of a devout
people's time-honored custom in
grateful recognition of favoring
national fortune it is proper that
the President should summoa the
nation to a day of devotion, of
thanksgiving for blessings bestow
ed and of prayer for guidance in
modes of life that may deserve
continuance of divine favor.
"Foremost among our blessings
is the return of peace and the ap
proach to normal ways again.
The year has brought us again
into relations of amity with all
nations alter a long period or
struggle and turbulence. In
thaukfulness therefor we may well
unite in the hope that Providence
will vouchsafe approval to tho
things we have done, the aims
which have guided us, the aspira
tious which have inspired us.
"We shall' be prospered as we
shall deserve prosperity, seeking
not alone for the material things
but for those of the spirit as well ;
earnestly trying to help others;
asking, before all else, the privi
lege of service.
"As we render thanks anew for
the exultation which came to us
we may fittingly petition that
moderation and wisdom shall be
granted to rest upon all who are
in authority, in the tasks they
must discharge. Their hands
will be steadied, their purposes
strengthened, in answer to our
prayers.
"Ours has been * favored na
tion in the bounty which God has
bestowed upon il. The great trial
of humanity, though indeed we
bore our part as well as we are
able, left us comparatively little
scarred. It is for us.to r. cognize
that we have been thus favored,
and when we gather at our altars
to offer ifp thanks we will do well
to pledge iu humility aud all sin
cerity our purpose to prove de
serving, We have been raised up
and preserved in natioual power
and consequence as part of a plan
whose wisdom we cannot qdestion
Thus believing, we CKII do no less
than hold our natiou the willing
instrument of Providence which
has so wonderfully favored us.
Opportunity for very greatservice
awaits us if we shall prove equal
to it. Let our prayers be raised
for direction in the right paths.
Under God, our responsibility is
great; to our own first, to all men
afterward; to all mankind iu God's
own jusoice.
"Now, therefore, I, Warren G.
Harding, President of the United
States, hereby designate Thurs
day, the 24th day of November,
to be observed by the people as a
day of thanksgiving, devotion md
prayer; urging that at their
hearth-sides and their altars ihey
will give thanks for all that has
been rendered unto them, and
will pray for a continuance of
the divine fortune which has been
showered so generously upon this
nation.

Virginia and North Carolina
Charlotte Observer.
Mr. Anderson, Republican can
didate for Governor of Vir«iuin,
reaently made a speech in Norfolk
in which he accorded North Caro
lina "valuable publicity." He
was comparing the rapid progress
made by the latter State in con
trast to the slow advance made by
Virginia, and in proof cited the
fact that from 1000 to 1920, "North
Carolina's wealth increased 3tU
per cent, as against Virginia's 179
per ceut." Mr. Anderson had
moralized on this backwa d con
dition in his State as "the curse
of one party domination," where
upon, The Virginian-Pilot is in
clined to "call" him. It reminds
Mr. Anderson that "thesame curse
has a til ic ted North Caroliua," aud
specifies that this State "has been
in the Democratic column since
Grant ran against Greeley." And
it further claims that "since
1876 —now forty-five years—North
Carolina hae returned quadrennial
Democratic majorities." It is
true, as The Virginian-Pilot states',
that "domestically it served the
usual period of post-bellum surf
dom under carpet-baggers." But
our Virginia contemporary has
forgotten the later capture of the
State by the fusionists—Populists
and Republicans—and the sub
sequent'absorption at Raleigh of
the former by the latter, to the
establishment of one term of pure
ly Republican rnle. With that
North Caroling has
maintained a one-party control
since the days of Governor llol
den, and as it was through this
one-party rule it has been enabled
to score'such a remarkable indus
trial and commercial advance, it
is likely to continue under that
same beueficent rule indefinitely.
The Democrat* in Vir.inia may
not be to blame for the Slow pro
gress made in that State, but the
Democrats in North Carolina are
certainly to blaiue for what has
be*-u accomplished in this State.

North Carolina at Top
In Many Things.
A r6d-blooded Tar Heel likes to
hear good thiugs about his State.
From the last issue of the Uni
versity News' Letter the following
is taken from an article on North
Cafolina. It speaks for itself:
North Carolina led the Soath
in 1919 in the number of factory
establishments, with 5.999 against
5,603 in Virginia, her nearest
competitor.
In the number of wage and
salary earners she led Georgia, her
nearest competitor, by 34,000.
In the capital employment she
led Texas by mofe than 100 rail
liou dollars, Virginia by 230 mil
lion dollars, and Georgia by 850
million dollars
In the total value of manufact
ured products Texas was the only
Southern state that outranked
North Carolina in 191,0, and her
lead wax only 57 million dollars.
o\ir next nearest competitor was
Georgia which fell behind 250
million dollars.
And in values added to raw
materials in the processes of
manufacture North Carolina far
and awav lod the South with 417
million dollars against 208 million
dollars in Texas, 260 million dol
lars in Virginia, and 25.3 millions
in Georgia. But even more sig
nificant is the percent of value
added to raw materials by manu
facture in North Carolina. In
this part icular we led the whole
! United States, Wyoming alone ex
cepted at least so far as reported
|by the census authorities. Our
i ratio of increase ill value contrib
uted by the processes of manu
; facture was 240 perceut. The
[only other Southern state that
was in sight of us in this detail
was South Caroliha, with a ratio
of 220 percent increase in the
value of raw materials added by
manufacture.
North Carolina, in a word, bm
a clear lead in the South in man
ufacturing industries.
W« lend the world in tobacco
manufacture. The 33 tobacco
factories of the state consume a
fourth of all the leaf tobacco used
in manufacture in the entire
United States, and pay a fnil
fourth of all the tobacco taxes of
the Union. In tobacco produc
tion we are uot far behind Ken
tucky the leading tobacco grow
ing state in America. Kentucky
Btands ahead of us in the pounds
of tobacco produced in average
years, but North Carolina stands
first in the total farm value of
her tobacco crops.
We lead the South in the cot
ton textile Industry in almost
every detail—in the number of
mills, in tne number of spindles
and knitting machines, in the
number of new looms installed,
year by year, in the number of
operatives employed, in the total
capital in use, in the volume of
wages paid, in the gross value of
'textile products, in the variety
of cottcm textiles produced, and
even more significantly in the
ratio of values added to raw cot
ton in the processes of manufac
ture. Our own mills- consume a
half million bales of cotton more
than the state produces in aver
age years.
There are now 513 textile mills
in the state, compared with 180
in South Carolina and 173 in
Georgia.
North Caroliua has more mill*
that dye and finish their own pro
duct than any other Southern
state.
The ho iery ini llh in the
world are located at Durham, N. C.
The largest towel mil In in the
world are located nt Kaunapolis,
N. C.
The largest denim mills in the
United States are located at
Greensboro, N. C.
The largest damask mills in the
United States are located at Roan
oke Rapids, N. C.
Winston-Salem contains the
largest underwear factory in
America.
Gaston county, with around 100
nulls, is the center of tine-combed
yarn in the South.
Moreover, we lead the South in
the number of furniture factories,
in the amount of capital invested,
in the number of operatives eni
ployed, in the variety of product-,
and in the total value of the an
nual output. 3,

Women Making Comforts
When Wool is Unsalable*
The fact that much wool has
proved unsalable except at a loss
has caused many farm women to
consider the home utilization of
some of the wool on hand. A few
months ago a home demonstration
agent from the United States De
partment of Agriculture and the
State agricultural college gave a
demonstration on the washingand
carfliug of wool for comforters at
a club meeting in Silverdale com
munity, Kitsap County, Wash.
As a result women all over the
county hrve become interested in
making wool comforters, and it
seems as if there would be enough
made to supply an entire future
generation. Flour and sugar sacks
have been found excellent for
interlining.
Facts of Interest Briefly Stated.
Great Britain has passed a bill
preventing the destruction of
birds for their feathers.
Chinese women become gray only
in very old age.
Of a thousand persons only one
•reaches the ag* of 1()0 years.

to celebrate their diamond wed
ding. r '-•
Bowlini, and cricket used to be
prohibited by royal or ler in early
England.
Indians in British Columbia put
out a newspaper priuted in short -
Americans own about one-half
of all the diamonds in the world.
Thunder can be hea>d at a dis
tance of not more than 15 miles.
