Again the familiar cry of th? auc
tioneer announced the formal open
ing of the Loulsburg tobacco market

State Improves
Quality Cotton
Raleigh, Sept. 27. ? Approximately !
40,000 of the 68,000 balse of cotton ,
ginned In North Carolina prior to j
September 17 were better than mid
dling 7-8 and it elaaaed and Bold on
a basis of grade and staple would
command an average premium of
more than $3.50 per bale, U. Benton
Blalock, general manager' of the
North Carolina Cotton Growers
Cooperative Association, said today |
after calculations based on the pre- I
llminary government report and the
cooperative's different schedule.
On this basis the grade and sta
ple premiums on the estimated I
State crop of around half 'a million j
bales this year would amount to .
more than a million dollars, he
added.
The preliminary government re
port on glnnlngs prior to Septem- 1
ber 17 showed that 68. 6 per cent '
graded strict middling, percentages .
considerably higher than the aver
ages for the Americas crop.
Premiums the cooperative is pay- :
lng on better grades and staples ;
range from 81.26 to as much as
89.76 per bale this season, Mr. Bla- |
lock said.
Calling attention to" the fact that|
North Carolina mills use twice i
much betterthan-mlddling 7-8 cot
ton as is produced In the State,
the cooperative leader urged grow
ers to select their seed carefully
now for next season so that the'
State may continue the forward
strides it hu made in the past five
years in grade and staple Improve
ment. fl ,
Five years ago only about 15 to
20 per cent of the State crop stapled
15-16 or better as compared with
around 60 per cent now, ^ "

Two cars running at high speed I
. passed through Inglealde late Sun
day afternoon, and just as a resident
remarked, "what Is the need of such
fast driving," the car In front struck
a dog near the service station. To
avoid a rear collision the driver of
the car running close behind, ap
plied his brakes, and left the road,
the car turning over on its side.
The occupants of the Chevrolet, two
men, two women and children were
' very fortunate In escaping the
slightest injury, and the car was
not damaged to any extent.
I It Is no exaggeration to say that
cars frequently pass through Ingle
side running from 45 to 60 miles

find a more dangerous place for fa
