There were 138,198 pounds offered, which gave evidence of the great shortage In weigbt of the 1936 crop. Individual Warehouse averages reached almost 29 cents while many Individual averages ran to tbe forties, some of the weed go ing as high as 60 cents a pound. It is the first year In a long i time that the prWe range between 30 and 40 cents were so much in evidence, especially on an open ing sale. ' The first sale waa bad at the Planters Warehouse where the crowd had gathered to hear the familiar cry of the auctioneer and , see the bidding of the several I buyers. At the beginning the I prices were In such high brackets that the smile of satisfaction be gun to spread and replace the look of anticipation to the point that the Jolly spirit rose so high that it was contagious. The buyers lost that serious look so natural, the auctioneer added test to his sing song tunes and even the sales managers called a little louder and stronger, If pos sible. The second sale was bad lit th?_Mouthslde where a recess to be takep for dinner and pHhe day was closed at the Union when the last pile waa sold some | thing after 4 o'clock.

He was quick to add. "I'm coming back to Louisburg." Pretty much all the companies had representatives on the mar ket Tuesday and all were eager and bid rapidly and strongly on all grades. The sales continued strong on Wednesday and Thursday, with fairly good sales each day. Each of the three warehouses in Louisburg are under expert and enthusiastic supervision and are vielng not only with each other but with all other markets, In extending accommodations and personal services to their grower customers, and stronger efforts for the highest prices. The banks, the merchants and the business men are all offering all the co-operation possible and It is expected that the motto that will be adopted by the combined organisation will be something like "All visitors to Louisburg this season shall go home more than satisfied." Get your next load ready and come on to Louisburg, your home market, that has time to give yon a little personal attention.

The Information concerning thc incident spread, a crowd gathered blood hounds were sent for and feelings ran high. In the mean time officers arrived and a search for the. negro began.
