GOOD PR!CES EXPECTED FOR TOBACCO ON LUMBSHON AND FA!RMONT MAMETS Markets Open Here and at Fair mont August 10 with Brighl Prospects—Expect Quarte Million Pounds in Lumbertoi on Opening Day—Estimated That Prices for Cigarette To bacco Will Be Better Than Last Year. SEVERAL CHANGES IN MANAGERSHIPS * Tobacco markets in Lumberton and Fairmont will open on Tuesday, Au gust 10, the opening day for a!! markets in the South Carolina belt, with bright prospects for the biggest season in their history. While the crop is not so large as that of last year, the fact that the Tobacco Growers' Co. operative association will not open warehouses will nfean that the auc tion warehouse will have more tobacco coming to thehr floors than was the case last year. - Lumberton warehousemen are ex pecting an opening Tuesday equal to if not above that of last year when 225,000 pounds were sold. Farmers in the vicinity of Lumberton have more of their tobacco graded than those round Fairmont, it is stated, where a light sale is expected on Tuesday. When the rains came a few days ago much of the tobacco took second growth, and because of its greenness farmers have had a let-up in curing fOr the past week or ten days and have had some time to grade. There is less tobacco on the floors of the warehouses than was the case last - year just before the day of opening. Expect to Sell 6 Million. Lumberton warehousemen expect to sell at least six million pounds this season, they state. Last year the to tal sales were close, to four and a half tnillion, which was an approxi mate increase of one and three-quart er-million pounds over 1924. It is rea sonable to expect that the increase will be as great this year as it was ** last. Double sales will!* held each day here in order to accomodate the farmers coming into Lumber ton. Better Prices. Warehousemen in this section are agreed on the belief that cigarette types of tobacco will bring better prices than iast -year. Estimates run all the way up to 20 per cent higher, and tobacco men point to the fact that tobacco on the Georgia markets show ed this increase on the opening day Tuesday.. The Georgia farmers, how ever, are able to place all their cur ings on the floor bn the first day; so little can be gained by comparing prices between nhtrkets in the. South Carolina belt and those of Georgia. Prices for the ordinary types are not expected to be better until after the . Tobacco Growers' Co-operative asso ciation has disposed of what it has on hand. Inferior Quality. Tobacco in this section is said to be of inferior quality than that of a year ago. The dry weather when the first pulling was done made the pro duct have a little body, and it is of light weight. Farmers are urged at this time to let their crop ripen thor oughly before pulling any more; for there is a tendency among,them to cure it green after the recent rains. Managership Changes. Robeson county will be afforded with eight auction warehouses this season, which is one more in number than was the case last year. Messrs. Lovell and Joyce are the newcomers, they having opened a new warehouse at Fairmont. There are a number of changes in the managerships of the Lumberton warehouses. Mr. R. Ca6ey, who operated the Little Ban ner and the Star last year, is not back in Lumberton again. Mr. W. M. Young of Henderson, w!\o has had 35 years experience in selling tobacco, arid Messrs. G. L. Thompson and W. J. Ritter of Lumberton will operate the Star this time, and Messrs. Sam Wat kins, Ira Bullard and 'Andrew Bullard will have charge of the Little Banner as well as the Carlyle. Messrs. Wat kins. Bullard and Bullard operated the Carlyle last season and are well known to tobacco farmers of this section. At the Big Banner Mr. J. D. Perkins of Roxboro, Mr. L. P. Woody of South Boston, Va., and Mr. R. E. Lewis of Lumberton are succeeding the firm of Long, Winstead, Perkins . and Woody. This is, the third year hefe far Mr. Woody and the fourth for Mr. Erkins. Mr. Perkins was proprietor of both the Little and Big Banner dur ing 1922 and 1923. These men of experience, combined with representatives from all the big tobacco companies and independent buyers, bring to Lumberton a corps of men who are thoroughly, qualified to give farmers what their tobacco is LETS GO TO THt BEST PRESS ING CLUB, FOLKS.

Georgia Tobacco Brings Good Prices Waycrcss, Ga., Aug. 3.—Georgia's tobacco crop this year will prove a record breaker as to quality and price, it was indicated here today by initial prices on the opening of the tobacco market. The price at the Farmers' Ware house jumped from 8 to 26c in an hour after the opening and tobacco men asserted that higher prices will obtain as the quality of the t ba.co improves. J. A. Kersey, formerly of Virginia, in charge of the Farmers' Warehouse, said he had never seen a more prom ) ising outlook in the bright tobacco field. I Tifton, Ca., reported prices of 25c i a pound, 25 pef cent better Chan last j year. Prices at Valdosta ranged ! from 22c to 38c and 52,512 pounds were sold at Quitman for $13j}448.58. Mr. W. P.

TOBACCO MARKET UPPERMOST. Tobacco and the paving of Route! 211 from the Biaden county line at the Big swamp to connect with Route} 20 out of Lumberton were the serious subjects considered at the Kiwanis weekiy luncheon meeting at the Lor-j raine Tuesday evening, and there! were stunts besides. Mr. O. O. Dukes had charge of the program. Lumberton-Ciarkton Road. The. interest manifested in the pro-} posed paving of the Lumberton end, of the Lumberton-Clarkton road was! keen enough, when the matter was! broached by President L. R. Varser, to satisfy Senator 0. L. Clark of Biad en, who, Mr. Varser said, has thought that Lumberton was not interested. It is possible to get this road paved, Judge Varser said, if the proper pres, sure is brought to bear. Aiready the road is being paved from Ciarkton to the Balden-Rooeson iine at the Big Swamp. Aii agreed that this road is mightiy important to Robeson county and Lumberton and that Lumberton wants to do and must do aii that is necessary to get this stretch of high way paved. The upshot of the matter was that President Varser, carrying out the purpose of a motion that pass ed unanimously, appointed Senator T. L. Johnson, former Senator Frank Gough, Solicitor T. A. McNeiil, and Messrs. J. H. Feits and J. A. Sharpe a committee to go to Raleigh at such time as Senator t). L.

Tobacco was the main walk and con- j versation of club members at this; meeting, and warehousemen were guests of honor. Warehouse men pres ent were: Messrs. Sam Watkins, Ira Bullard and W. S. Somers, from the Caflyle warehouse; Messrs. Geo. L. Thompson, W., M. Young and W. J. Ritter, from the Star; Mr. J. D. Per kins and Mr. L. P. Woody from the Big Banner. Messrs. Perkins, Watkins and Young } made brief talks. Each expressed ap preciation for the interest and coop-' eration of Lumberton people and urged more united ation. Mr. Young said that in many places the mer chants devoted one afternoon a week during the tobacco season to canvass, ing for their market, traveling the country for 20 miles around. All ex pressed confidence in the outlook for a better market here than ev6r and in the prospect for good prices. Push Is the Word. Mr. Sam Somers was the man who was voted to have said the best word when he and Dr. R„ S. Beam, J. H. Felts and J. A. Sharpe were called on by Mr. Dukes to say the word that best fits local market needs. * Mr. Somers said "Push", and Messrs. T. A. McNeill and Ertel Carlyle, the judes, said that beat par excellent, ac tion and cooperation, suggested, in the order named, by Bqam, Felts and Together for Better Market. Mr. Somers was handed a package by Mr. Dukes and was toid* to un wrap it and read, with the emphasis on the third word. It proved to be a bunch of tobacco, bearing the iegqh<L "We are TOGETHER for a better to bacco market in Lumberton." A iittie nonsense now and then, you konw. Mr. Dukes caiied out T. L.
