Many Visitors. The Louiaburg tobacco market celebrated Its formal opening on yes terday with a pretty good lot ot the weed at each of the Warehouses ? more than was expected. It was quite Interesting to see the activities start up at each of the Warehouses as it was the opening up of the fall season In a line of business that usually puts life in all business after a quiet Bummer. The sale begun at the Riverside Warehouse after the usual method of determining who should have the first sale and all the buyers were present apparently eager to get the weed. \ The crying ot the auctioneers was especially pleasing to the targe num ber present From the best estimate we could get the sale amounted to about forty thousand pounds and arranged about 9 cents. Among the other markets represen ted on ths sale we noticed Henderson, Oxford, Wendell, Youngsvllle, Spring Hope, Rocky Mount, Zebulon. In addition to the representatives from other markets farmers from every section and all adjoining counties were here to watch the sale and ex pressed themselves as being especial ly well pleased with the results. Our Warehousemen say they are going to make Louiaburg the best market In the State and our business men are going to assist them in mak ing Louiaburg profitable town for the farmers to visit.

First Baptist Church in Baleigh Leads in Contributions, Reports Show, With a very tender and impressive memorial service at 11 o'clock Friday In honor of-Miss? Fannie E. S. Heck, of Raleigh, whoso death was reported yesterday, the Central Baptist Associa tioni which has been holding its fifty sixth annual session with the New Hope Baptist church six miles north of Raleigh, since Wednesday, came to a close, to meet a year hence with the Bay Leaf chnrch, near the Falls of Xeuse, The Central Association Is what It* name Indicates ? the ccntral and one 1 of the leading associations of the State. It has within Its borders the two leading Baptist colleges in the State, Wake Forest and Meredith. It Is also the home of the Biblical Re corder, the organ of the denomina tion in the State. The Stnto Board of Missions, with Its secretary, Dr. Liv ingston Johnson, the Sunday- school hoard and the central committee of the Woman's Missionary Union of the State, with their secretaries ,are also located within its bounds. It con tains the First Baptist church of Ral eigh, whmlch Is in tho front of all the churches In the South, and al30 the Wake Forest church, which is the strategic center of the State, from a Baptist viewpoint. This association likewise contains some of the strong est and some of tho weakest vllliage and country churches ? 31 in all ? with a membership of 4,814. Their total contributions for all benevolent objects during the past year was $31, 191.94. The First Church of Raleigh, led all the others In par capita con tributions, which was $8.11 por mem ber. The Franklinton church came next with $6.46 per member; the Wr.ke Forest church, $4.39 pel- -mem ber. New Hope and Brassfield led all the country churches in this re spect' with $2.57 and $2.58 per member. The Laymen's Movement, untTeT the directions of Prof. E. W. Slkes, of Wake Forest, is working wonders in jnany of the churches, according to the reports made at tho Association. Prof. John E. Ray, of Raleigh was re-elected moderator of the Associa tion; Rev. George P. Hnrrell, of Franklinton, vice moderator; Prof. E. W. Sikes, of Wake Forest, cleric ~"an<T historian. Prof. Charles E. Brewer, who for thirty years or more has been the very efficient clerk, did not stand tor renomlnatlon on account of his du ties as president of Meredith College The report on State Missions was road by Virgil Otis Parker, of Ra leigh, who also made a very strong address on the subject, holding that nothing so contributed to the upbuild ing of the cltlsenshlp of the State aa dld State Missions, and therefore the cause Is worthy of the loyal support of everybody. In no Investment can the denomination realize richer divi dends. Dr. Livingston Johnson, correspond ing secretary of the State Board of Missions, Raleigh, callod especial at tention to the fact that this year the books of his board will close Novem ber 18, two weeks earlier tljan usual In order to give Its thanksgiving of fering. In his address on the Baptist Or phanage work of the State, Superin tendent M. L. Kesler, of Thomasvlllo, stated that the orphanage work was now $36,000 In dobt, dus la part to the pressnt war conditions, but more especially ta the fact that the insti tution has greatly enlarged Its plant ?within ths past tow months. With th? opening ot ths Kenhedy Memorial h Home, and the Miles Durham Nursery at Thomasvllle, seventy-five extra children have been added to the Insti tution within the past year. And then the big bequests from the Kennedy, Biggs, L/ittle and other estates to the orphanage, all have strings to them for the present, being trust funds, and so are liabilities for the present rather than assets. By and by these funds will yield large dividends to the Institution, but not yet. W. R. Powell, of Wake Forest, read tho report on Education, and Dr. R T. Vann, secretary of the new Board of education, created by the last State convention, made a strong plea for Christian education. The purpose of the new board is to organize, syse matlze and correilate the four Baptist colleges and fourteen Baptist high schools In the State. EYEBYBODY FOB BICKETT. Attorney Generalship and State Treasurer Position Matters of Much Interest. Mr. J. H. Holloway writes the fol lowing letter regarding political mat ters from over the State: Dear Mr. Edltorr The proceBS of elomln&ticn is still going oh in the fight for the Attorney Generalship nomination. The politi cians are trying to create a popular demand for a western candidate strong enough to sweep the field but so far their efforts have proven a failure. This is an old scare crow theory that long since should have been exploded as it has been the means on several occasions of fostering undesirable can didates on the party. There should not be any real or Imaginary line between the East and the West in North Carolina political ly but the capable man should be -chosen regardless of the Geographi cal residence. Mr. R. O. Everette of Durham at this time Is far in the lead of all other aspirants. The withdrawal of Gover nor Doughton has clarified the politi cal atmosphere considerably as it was the general opinion that he would prove to be a formidable candidate and Itt all probability a winner. Everetts friends have been doing some very effective quiet work and succeeded in working up a ijeucleus In avjry coun ty It* tire SMiet Unless a frame "up is brought about Everotto Is more than an even bet as the winner. Hp. will have a loyal support In Durham coun ty that will be practically unanimous His ability to nil the position In an able manner is beyond question. Everybody is now for Bickett ex cept Col. A1 Falrbrother, The Col. has been poking fun at Tom Bost for con ducting a moving picture show of portentlal candidates in the various excellent articles that Tom has been writing for the Greensboro paper. This attitude on tho part of Col. A1 is very Inconsistent to say tho least as the Col lias been running an r.it gallery In his newspaper for more than a year and he has nominated and printed the photograph of every man In North Carolina worth over one hundred thousand 1 dollars for Governor, whether Democratic or Republican. A majority of his candidates have never entertained an idea of running and most of the others couldn't be elected township constables In his own community. An Engllshmans love for a Lord does not excell Col. A1 Fair brothers lovo for a rich man. Bost has never mentioned a man who was not a live possibility. While It Is a long time off, people are already discussing the pro bability of Cameron Morrisons can didacy for Benator tho next time Senator Overman comes up for nomi nation. A large number of people have mentioned tho matter to your correspondent since tho reference re cently made In a previous letter to this paper. Fbrsyths candidate for treasurer of the State Is a live news Item and much. Interest Is being manifested In the matter, It was generally thought that Treasurer Lr.cy would not have any opposition next year but the an r.ouncoment from Forsyth hps put a different compaction on the matter. September 13th will be a day long to be remembered in the history of Raleigh if present plans are carried out. The city is making great pre paration to dedicate the handsomest new court house, probably in the entire South. , It is one of the most beautiful buildings this writer has everTSCtfOHMHt-te a flnejnonument to those who were instrumental in hav ing it erected. Solicitor Norris has boen tirelesc In his efforts for the build ing and he probably more than any. other is entitled to tho credit for lta reality. ? ' Yours truly, ? JAMES H.

Buffin Make Lojai and Patriotic Speeches. "Thursday of last week was the oc casion of another annual dinner to the old Veterans of Franklin county pro vided and served by the ladles of the Joseph J. Davis Chapter United Daughters of the Confederacy. The weather was fine and a large crowd were present At the appolntod hour the veterans and a large number of citizens of the county gathered In the Oraded school Grove where the feast was spread. In the absence of commander, H. C. Kearney, Captain P. Q, Alston, acted, and presented Mr. W. H. Ruffln as master of ceremonies, Mr. Ruffln introduced Rev. O. M. Duke, one of -Franklin's beloved ministers, who greeted his fellow comrades with one -of his enthusiastic and always patrio tic speeches, which was greatly en Joyed. Mr. Ruffln then announced that tlMre would t(S_ no other speeches "before dinner: What was one of the most enjoy able dinners that has been Berved in Louisburg in many, years was that to the old veterans and their guests by the ladies of the Joseph J. Davis Chap ter on convenient little tables that made the occasion more enjoyable to the old heroes. The dinner was a most excellent one and was presented in generous quantities constituting a dinner more than enough for the num ber present." To the committee of the chapter much credit it is due for so great a feast. Dinner being over Mr. Ruffln in a most excellent speech presented to the audience. Col. John S. Cunningham, of Durham. Before presenting the Colonel however, Mr. Ruffin made a most beautiful talk to the old veteran? picturing to them the high places they occupied in the public's mind for the many heroic deeds they lmd done. In comparing the 60's^jvith the present struggle in Europe he said "each of -you were fighting for home and coun try and not for greed and gain for a few, thereby making of each of you a hero." Col. Cunningham was then presented and made an excellent ad dress. He paid a beautiful tribute to Franklin county as the possessor of more real historical events than any other in the State and said it was a most note worthy recognitation that the Richmond Reunion gave in their action upon the question of the origin of the Confederate Flag. He paid a most worthy tribute to the old heroes and their daughters who are striving to make their last days so pleasant, and suggests that a history of the county be writen and dedicated to the old soldiers. Col. Cunningham was followed by Judge C. M. Cooke, known and loved by all of Franklin county and the State who delivered amost excellent address on loyalty. He spoke to the veterans as one of them and was well qualified to feel as they felt as lie had served with them in the struggle both in and after the war. Among his remarks he introduced a resolution that the State place the old negroes who served their masters in the war on a pension, to them he said was due some recognition for the en thusiastic loyalty they presented. Their loyalty was beautiful. Miss Jessica R. Smith was then In troduced and made a most interesting address, in which she took occasion to express her appreciation to many for the assistance in the work of es tablishing her father's claim as Hie designer of the Stars and Bars. She then told in a most interesting and en- j tcrtaining manner the history of how the honor had been won and con cluded with references to the resolu- 1 tions adopted by the Joseph J. Davis Chapter U. D. C-, and the R. M. Mc Kinney Camp U. D. V. of this county launching the movement of erecting a monument to the Stars and Bars in Louisburg. It was then announced that the Management of the Star Tlioatre had extended a special invitation to-all old veterans in town on this occasion to visit their Theatre at -any and all times during that day - to be their guests. The citizens of Louisburg were re cipients of many appreciations for the conveyance of the old soldiers to and from the grounds In automobiles. In afl It was a most enjoyable, day.

It had assumed alarming proportions, and destructive results to mind and . body, many of our good people having to be sent to the Insane asylum and a number to untimely ? graves. Pel lagra being a comparatively new dis ease among a? and ita having two such sad and awful i I the insane asylum and the i laity and the medical profession na turally became alarmed and deeply concerned about its presence so near to us. As stated before at a meeting of our County Commissioners on the flrBt Monday in August, I was In structed as Public Health Physician to go to work and investigate the mat ter to obtain all the facts and informa tion we could as to its history in the county, its advert, its frequency and its extent. After visiting many homes and communities we found the number of cases much larger than we bad anticipated amounting to nearly one hundred. About eight years ago the first case of pellagra made Us appearance in our county, end from then np to the first of this past month there was rapid in crease in the number of cases and In the severity of the disease. As we will give at some future time, a more con cise and thorough report on Pellagra "we will be content -at present that we are glad the Physiclanfof the ~ county have been very successful in treating the disease, that there have been no new cases since the first of August, no one has been sent to the asylum, and there has been no death as a result of this terror. We are also glad to state that the concensurs of opinion lay and medical, is that it is essentially a dietary disease of dietary orgln and that it Is preventable and curable, non-contagious, but ?nav be slightly infections. Many Physic ians have tried different remedies with success but these general directions will be always helpful as to the pre vention of the trouble# . Let your diet be of eggs, milk, butter, lean fresh meats, beans and peas, and soups of the last named vegetables with bread of milled meal. Drink water plentlful-r ly between meals ? bathe often, <hra't think about Pellagra ? don't talk about It ? don't look at it, and don't read about it. Get all the mental recrea tion, diversion and fun out of life that you can. . If you really think you have any symptoms of the disease, however consult your family Physician at once.
