GREAT TOBACCO SALE
IS ON YESTERDAY
Over Sixty Thousand Pounds Sold ? and the Price
Attained Were Satisfactry ? Many Visitors Were
. Present
A great future it Washington'* bo
far as Its tobacco market Is concern
ed?this was fully demonstrated on
yesterday at the Washington tobacco
warehouse when over sixty thousand
pounds of th? golden weed was on
the floor and sold at prices to give
only the best of satisfaction. While
the Washington citizens bavo thought
for sometime a tobacco market here
would be a paying enterprise little
did they dream that the result so
early attained would carry with It
such a remarkable result for e\ery
one knows that the Waslhngton mar
ket Is Just a little over a
month in age and the way the farm
ers are bringing tobacco to this mar
ket for sale Is Indeed surprising.
Their confiden'f In the market here
from the opening sale has never
been shaken one lota. They have
been shown every courtesy, both by
the management and the buyers; the
prices received have been good a*d
the Dally News has yet to hear of a
single complaint along this line.
Yesterday vfas a gala day for the
Washington tobacco market The
occasion promised to be one of which
every citisen should be proud and
when the sale was over numerous
expresslonH of approval could be
beard from many sources.
From the time of the opening of
the tale to th? close, visitors, both
ladles and geutlmen, flocked to the
warehouse to witness the interesting
spectacle. They were delighted aad
carried away with the way In which
the sales are conducted.
It was a pleasure of the editor of
the Dally News to he among the
large number of lntereeted specta
tors and It did his heart good to hear
so many compliment Washington on
Its latest effort, snd the song of Old
Bill Bugg was Indeed a musical one.
While the Washington tobaoco
market Is still In Its Infancy it has
already shown that It Is here to
stay.
The farmers In all sections of
Beaufort county and the counties
contiguous, hsve already seen the
wisdom of bringing their product
here for the reason the prlcee and
too, the courtesy exhibited la not
surpsssed by any other marlni.
One fsrmer who has brought his
entire crop to this market said that
he had received 176.00 more for his
crop than he an^^atcd.
Yesterday will De long remember
ed by the farmers and those allied
with the tobacco Industry. It would
have paid every citizen In Washlng
to to bavo visited th? Washington
Tobscco Warehouse yesterday and
witnessed this gTeat sale.

l?y and hear ethers laugh you oughtj
to see this picture for even a pessi

be able to keep from laughing when
he watches this on the screen.
"How the Squire Was Captured."
Here is a Joily, happy unconvention

fairly overflows with a spirit of mis
chievous youth and springtime love.
"Bumptioo* Take* l*p Automo
biting"?A comedy. The fun in this
picture is not roar*e, the scenery is
