Plenty of Tobacco And Plenty of Buy? era on the New Market. ; NOTES AND INCIDENTS OF THB BIO BALKS. ". , Jour-' Correspondence Danrille Tobacco ' ' " -r. - - ' tial. - ; . . Yesterday morning at an early ,hour it was plainly evident that the Louis burg opening sale would be a grand -suteew. Although the weather : was veryhreatening . people poured into town from all sections. Tobacco wag ons of all sizes and styles were crowd ing up to the warehouses and everybody was busy. At both Hughes and the Star warehouse, there were large crowds of farmers and others, who had come in to try the new market. , The first sale wai held at Ilnghes warehouse. The entire floor was full and the piles very close together. At 11 o'clock aa the band Btruck up a live ly tune intone part of the house, Aavtiotv ecr Thomas of the Franjun Times struck up a different tune in another. The first pjje was sought for earnestly bv the different buyers and went off at a big price. From tbjs start Jflie sale went on at alivel y rate The bidding was spirited. While the tobacco was not aa fine as the farmers could hare brought, still it was of -rich color and generally of good texture. The prices were generally satisfactory to the plant ers and all parties seemed well pleased. The sale lasted some two or three hours, during which time about 400 piles were sold and out of this lot per . haps not a dozen piles ware taken in. About 3 o'clock In the afternoon the sale was opened at the Star warehouse. A party of ladies graced the occasion -witlr their presence and caused some reckless bidding on the part of several unmarried .buyers. The Star's 'floor . Was filled to its utmost and prices were equally as good as'at the morning sale. The sale was auctioneered by Messrs. Gravely of Danville and Ragsdale of :Jkh-'oan;-jjjA)ji sunset "the sale went on at a rapid rale and was just completed as the night came on. The result was satisfactory in a high de gree to all parties, the farmers being generally well pleased with prices and while some of the buyers grumbled a little they were nevertheless fairly pleased with their purchases. Thus closed the first day's sale at Louisour g, a day that will long be re membered in her history, and one that marks a new era in het industrial prog ress. , r - ; hacco cannot be excelled in any part of the Stale. 'The leaf ran chiefly to ' the cutter and smoker types with a consid erable portion of medium to fine wrap pers. The proportion of fillers to ex tremely small and not of superior qual ity.: The leaf has fair body, is general ly smooth, and in texture Is-very fine and Uky. It is r etna rkabljJ free from worm holes of every kind and as a' rule shows careful handling. It Is claimed by good judges that this . tobacco will at once take rank with the finest grades in the 'gtate and come rapidly into gtrongdenuAV.y . THE MARKET. ( Louisburg has natural advantages for a tobacco market. It is located in the center of a larze area, every part - of which will grow the finest types. The business men of the town have gone about building .up a market in a, com mon sense way. They, simply . , mean business and are not afraid to spend a- few dollars in a good cause. They are unanimously heart and soul in the work. The jrood showing at the opening sales this week proves beyond question that the market will be thoroughly estab-' lished ami from now, on will grow. Of course there will be competition, but honest competition will do it good. It is but fair to say that Louis burg has. made a finer start than any market we have ever known, and that wiUT proper and cautious management its fu ture is assured. ... THE BUYERS. There were plenty of buyers to - take up all the tobacco at fine prices. ' We give below a lst of the firms buying on the market th:s week: Geo. 8. Hughes fc Co Williamson & Friend,- W. B. Brooks & .., Thos. Hodges, C. B. Keesee, Danvill&rVa. D'Orsey Jones, Oxford, NIC. A. K. Armsteid, Lucius Tilley, Dur ham, N. C. Dr. J. a Meadow?, W. T. Hughes Co., J. B. Thomas & Co., J. P. Ros ser & Co., O. H. Harris & Co., Lou s burg. - .. S. P. Arrirfglon, Warrenton. J. P. Haydeo,' Henderson. Most of vie above firms which .came in from outside markets have already placed their orders on the Loubburg market, and will have pe. jaaneut buy' ers there a'l the time. This creates a strong demand for tobacco, competition among buyers will be sharp and insures good price, for the planters. ' With twelve or filteen strong buying firms like the above, Louisburg can guarantee as good grices for tobacco as. any other markets. THE WAREHOUSED vX. Both the warehousemen, Mr. W. T Hughes and Mr. J. B. Thomas have madea mojjaYble impression on the people of Ixmeburg anTtbe farmers in the surrounding oountxy.They are both excepriona'Ty young men, and know bow io work and what work means.: The farmers speak In the high est terms of ihejx.eatment. by these geniTemenVand we feel safe' in saying that Louisburg has made a lucky hit in getting theifvaluable services.' They have advertised the market well already, and are working the whole territory thoroughly and systematically. ORDERS. We are in a position to know that a number of valuable orders are now per manently p'aced in Louisburg.' These orders are from some of the largest con cerns in North Carolina and Virginia. and are placed in good hands. As the bulk of tobacco in Eastern Carolina is sokl early In the season; it would be weu tor parties' to place their orders NEW PRIZE BOUSES T N There are- now three large prize houses being built near the Star ware-. nouse, an oi wucn wui be occupied as soon as completed. The . Board ; of Trade is. ready upon short notice - to erejet add aonal prizerhouses to par ties desiring to locate in Louisburg.' ? The n. s, i. raiiroaa people nave guaran tee! as low Jreighi rates aom Louis- urz as those idvenifcuV other tobacco market in the Biate. - To-day, Thursdav. the weather broke clear, and at Tan early Jiour wagons were rearly who have ndtTalready done so. wnuiug ww wwd irom every Quarter. Many farmers Wbo brought tofenor to bacco yesterday are here to-day with much oetter stock. Others who sold yesterday ate so well pleased that they are here with, their best tobacco to-day. mmjwwmg ( " a. m.) tne flrst sale is going on" at Haghes warehouse. ,The entire floor is full of tobacco and 14 loads are standing outside which cannot be accommodated. The same is the case at the Star warehouse. A- num ber of wagons will wait until to-morrow before they can be unloaded. The to bacco here to-day is of far better quali ty than yesterdav. There is a'tawmUW. able quantity of "fine wrapping leaf and cutters of very superior types. The pdes;too, are much larger, and will therefore please the buyers. ..The sale that is now going on is resulting in full prices lor every grade of leaf. I .have not seen a single pile taken in, and I hear the farmers talk as if they were well pleased with the result The sales to-day will go-on until night and ;be resumed to-morrow. From present Indications it Iqpks as if there will be ' a .full day's sale to-morrow and perhatis a sprinkling left over lor Satardsgr. :ir-'. .JMERESSIONS.. : .uring'ttte-iw'iuays I haVeboaihere J have studied the Louisburz market 3 jcarefully, I have talked witli planters very low. It would be unfixtnoate If for any caus we fail to take the books now. and later, h&ve- to pay; higher prices. May I not ask that you see-erery merchant in your county' who tells school-books and get him to order from Messrs. Harper & Brothers, Ifew York, and from Messrs. Van Antwerp, Bragg Cot, Cincinnati, all the books that are offered for exchange as ex plained on page 59 of the school law. These firms will take pleasure in fur nishing you with blanks and all : neces sary information. . ... - - t 1 you fail to get booksellers to at tend to this matter promptly, I ask that you order the books yourself, and ar range with the teschers to make the ex changes. It is-a matter of such imme diate im pot lance that 1 must be excus ed for urging your prompt action. ! By devoting a utile extra time to this mat-' ter. for which your board will of course compensate you, yon will uniform your school ith excellent books and at the same time save money to the chil dren. - t - r: The exchange account, too will note. must be opened with the "house that publishes - the books offered for ex change. - After the exchange rates are withdrawn all the books ' oh the State list except Webster's Dictionaries can best be bought from the tegular depoti tarie aa explained in the Appendex to the school law. The publisher of Webster's Dictionaries decline ' to. put them with the depositaries on same terms as other publishers, but -Worcester's may be obtained in Jieu of them. t ... It is worthy of special attention . that to get the books that are offered for ex change no money need be ."advanced. Any reliable house can get them, to be accounted for when exchanged or sold. I will send you, or cause to" be ' sent youall necessary blanks and informa tion. WUI you please show this -letter to your board and ask their co-opora-Uon. Xow b the time to uniform yoaw schools cheaply; if yon wait antH next year it will cost more to dolt. ' Instruct your teachers to use every effort to have the State list books used. While our Teoo are conservative. they, are reasonable,.- If the teachers will show the importance of uniformity, and that the State list books are better than many of the old books now in the hands of the children, and if they w&l explain that upon the surrender of the old books the new books can be had tor a very small exchange price, most . par ents will willingly get the list books. Especially do I ask that when a. new book is bought it shall be one that is on the State list. The parents frequently do not know what books to get. If they do not know they. . should always wait until the teacher informs them, In-so great an organization as a State system of schools there will necessarily be some friction, and, perhaps, nobody can have things exactly as he wants them. All that the State Board aiks .hasjbeeajnoet carefully eonsidered by persons who have nothing in view, but Ux good of the children; and who, from lonr experience, ought to be able so to guide that the chikiren may learn "as rapidly as possible, and then education be sale and pleasant. 1 ou and your board and the teach ers. I feel su re, can very rapidly bi about a uniformity in tout count y. I make this appeal to you and them and to the people, in the confident hope that we will not neglect this opportunity. Very trulyyour obedient servant, S. M. Fis out. Superintendent Public Instructions. i o. Baa i mm. have orrxgD store In the Carlisle Building.
