Tobacco Prices
Skyrocketing
On Louisburg Tobacco Mar
ket ? Averages Reaching
Around 50 Cents
The prices of tobacco on the
Louisburg market made further
advances this week with complete
sale averages reaching in the 37 j
cent class and many individuals
receiving averages of around 60
cents. The sales have been light,
due partly to picking cotton, but
the demand has continued strong
on all grades and the bidding has
been lively and full of pep.
Around two million pounds
have been sold on the local mar
ket this season for an average of
around 29 cents. The growers
seeming all well satisfied.
To observe the' sales seems as
if more piles of tobacco are being
sold at above forty cents a pound
than is sold for less than forty.
Get your tobacco ready and
bring it on to LOUISBURG,
where it will receive personal at
tention and best prices.

Duke And Georgia
Tech Set For Big
Battle Saturday
Blue Devils Have Chance to
Get Revenge for Tech's
6-0 Defeat of 1933, Only
Loss Sustained by Wade
men
Durham, N. C., Oct. 10. ? Witn
all the trappings and embellish
ments of a king's coronation. Duke
and Georgia Tech. two^'big shots"
of southern football, will fight It
out In Duke stadium Saturday in
the "1934 Battle of the South."
Unprecedented interest '-ha?
been' shown In this important con
test which gives the Blue Devils
a chance to get revenge for that
6-0 defeat handed them by the
Yellow Jackets last year after the
Wademen had won nine straight
games and were on the threshold
of football glory.
Officials expect a capacity crowd
of 35,000 as a result of the re
cord-number of tickets which have
been sold In advance to fans from
all parts of the South and East.
Special trains and cars will be
run from all sections to bring
the fans to Durham.
Seldom has any game in the
south attracted the attention that
this battle has gained. The game
was a "natural" since the sched
ules of the two teams were an
nounced as a result of Duke's loss
last year, and a great battle I*
expected when they attempt to
get revenge in Duke stadium Sat
urday.
Tech lost to Vanderbllt. 27-12.
but the defeat came because of
three forward passes which
should hare been broken up but
which Instead were batted by
Tech defenders Into the hands of
some other Vanderbllt receiver
than the one to whom tha pass
was intended.
The Yellow Jackets come to
Durham equipped with probably
the finest passing attack In tho
south and that will make the Job
of stopping the Engineers doubly
hatrd for the Blue Devils. Tech's
passing Is a thing greatly feared
by Duke with the expert Jack
Phillips flipping them from and
to any angle of the field. It wns
passing that led directly to Duke's
defeat In Atlanta last year.

ST. LOUIS WINS
CHAMPIONSHIP
Detroit, Oct. 9.? Completing
the spectacular saga of the Deans
with a history-making climax, the
great Jerome Herman ((Dizzy):
Dean pitched St. Louis to the)
baseball championship of the
world today with a record shutout
triumph, 11 to 0, as the Cardinal
clouting crew slaughtered the
pitching staff of the Detroit Tig
ers in as wild and riotous a finish
as any World Series has ever wit
nessed.
The National League cham
pions blasted/the last defense of
Mickey Cochrane's battered Ben
gals with a smashing seven-run
atta^K in the third. They bom
barded six pitchers all told for a
^fotal of 17 hits, while Dizzy Dean,
turning in the fourth victory for
his team and family, emerged
from the seventh and final game
with the most lopsided series shut
out margin since Christy Mathew
son blanked the Athletics, 9 to 0,
in 1905.
Bleacher Barrage
Before the clouting Cardinals
dashed off the field with the final
; decision, four games to three, and
! their third world championship in
nine years, they survived a riotous
outburst by the left field bleacher
fans, who let loose a barrage of
missiles aimed at Joe (Ducky
Wucky) Medwick. The demonstra
I tion interrupted the game for 17
i minutes and subsided only affir
j the St. Louis left fielder and
i clean-up clouter was removed
i from the game, mainly for safety's
sake, by Baseball Commissioner
Kenesaw Mountain Landis.
The demonstration, one of the
I worst in series history, was
prompted by a run-in at third
base in the Cardinal half of the
sixth inning, when Medwick slid
into the bag after a booming tri
ple to right and exchanged kicks
; with Marvin Owen, Tiger infield
| er. The two players almost came
I to blows before they were separa
| ted by players and umpires, but
I Medwick's return to his position
? at the end of the inning was the
j signal for a wild outbreak by the
i thousands packed in the tempo
; rary open stands off left field.
Variety of Missiles
Medwick was the target of fruit,
I hot dogs and a few dozen pop bot
! ties, all of which he dodged be
j fore b$ating a retreat to the in
field, where his team-mates clua
i tered around him. Yelling and
! shouting, the crowd quickly litter
ed up most of deep left field with
| food or anything else they could
. get their hands on.
Players, umpies and finally
Manager Cochrane went out to
plead for order, but on each of
three times that Medwick tenta
tively started back to his position,
after workmen had cleared the
field, the bleacherites broke loose
with another terrific volley.
Finally Commissioner Landis
called the two players involved in
the mix-up. as well as the mana
gers and umpires, into a confer
ence, and ordered Medwick to the
bench after a short parley. From
; the stands it. appeared Owen was
to blame for the incident, as he
kicked Medwick first, after which
the Cardinal slugger shoved both
feet sharply into the third base
man's legs. But Landis decided
that the only way to continue the
game was to remove Medwick
and avoid the possibility of the
outfielder being "beaned" by a
pop bottle or otherwise attacked
by the rampant fans.

turns out to t>e his hated enemy's ?
sister.
For the first time in pictures,
the whole gigantic pacific fleet is

Many of the thrills take place

In one of these, Jimmy saves hia
