VOLUMN LX. * ' LOUISBURG, N. C., FRIDAY, JULY 20TH, _1929 (10 Pages) NUMBER 23 GRATIFYING INCREASE IN TOBACCO PRICES /? _ South Georgia Markets Open 1929 Sea son in Auspicious Manner -Quality Makes Up For Smaller Vleld?Prices On The Opening Day 20 To 25 Per Cent Higher Than IKS. Quitman, Ga., July 23.?Signs ot prosperity were seen today when South Georgia's tobacco markets opened the 1929 season with prices from 20 to 25 per cent higher than on the InUiai sales day last year. Re. ceipts at the various markets were leaaonably heavy and the farmer i were well pleased. Although complete figures fur to day's tales were not available, tt Is estimated that the ave'age fur- the State was between $16.50 and $17.50 per hundred pounds,, which Is $6.50 to 36.00 per hundred higher than on the oiening day in 1928. Ninety-five per cent of the offerings * weres primings from the bottom o' the stalks, but they showed a considerable improvement in quality over last year. In 1928 there was too much rainfall dnrlpg the growing sea son in South Georgia, and the quality of the tobacco was seriously affected. Iiowever, the farmers this year have enjoyed fairly good weather condl. tions, and this was reflected In the quality of the tobacco sold today. The curing season Is nearing the end, and - It Is not likely- that-recent cool and rainy weather will have an appreci-i able effect upon the quality ot the to bacco that will be marketed later. | Mack Higher. At any rate, taken grade for grade, p-ices today were from 20 to 25 per cent higher than in 1928. The only fpdor against thtg Is a reduction of about 15,000,000 pounds In the prob this year. However, on A percentage basis. It is anticipated that Georgia farmers will more than offset the loss in weight by the apparent tacreaise In r rices, leading to" the belief that this year will mark probably the most successful one in the history of the State from a financial standpoint. Latest estimates place the yield of the Georgian crop at 70,000,000 pounds ps compared with 85,643,754 pounds last year. However, these figures tl? lustrate the remarkable development of the tobacco growing Industry In this State, as the output has Increased. fiom the first marketing year In 1917, J when 350,000 pounds were sold, to: n.ore than 85,000,000 pounds tn 12 vears. North and South Carolina to bacco men are-largely responsible for the development of the Georgian In dustry, as the majority ot the demon strators In this State as well as ths warehousemen are from the Carolin. as. The warehouse and buying con tingents In Georgia will* w|pd up the marketing of the ci;op In time to get back to North Carolina for the open ing In September. hYJOYABLfc CHH'kEJi BARBECUE The member* of the Cedar Rock Cypres* Creek Poultry Association were entertained at a chicken barbe cue Saturday evening given by J.

STIFLING COMMERCE When .vou hoard tnoney away, you assist In stifling the commercial ac. tivity of your home community as well M the whole country at large. , If yon put it In the bank, the banker lends It to someone who uses It to pro dvce something. That keeps > other people at work and keeps the tnoney In circulation. ?- ' If you lend It on a mortgage or buy bonds, it serves the same purpose. It keeps circulating and everybody Is benefltted. When money keeps moving, It en ables many people to move. And the fellow who can't move ahead Is In sorry straits. The dollar that Is hidden away Is In a bad place. If you have any such dollars, bring them from their hiding place and put them to work.
