Spending only part of a day here, the Adventure, Captain Edward Billings, from New York, afforded a spectacle that savored mightily of the old sailing days. She was a schooner yacht, having both sail and power, and was about as large as the trading two-masters of other days. To add to the old time appearance Captain Billings and his men were arravpd in hlack souwesters, ' black slickers and the hip boots that are inseparably linked with the old-time sailing days.

Davis, one of the most popular tobacconists in the game, has just closed a deal that brings him to Lumberton next year where he will operate the Liberty Warehouse, one of the larger warehouses on this market. On the Fairmont market for a number of years, Mr. Davis needs no introduction to the people of Lumberton, or to the tobacco growers throughout the territory the Lumberton market draws tobacco from. In fact, he is widely known in practically every tobacco growing section of North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. A warehouseman for a number of years he has made an enviable record for himself. The Lumberton market is fortunate in securing a tobacconist of Mr. Davis' type. He is the type warehouseman that can be termed a market builder; alert, wideawake, progressive, and with a genial personality, he enjoys the friendship and confidence of the people who sell tobacco with him, and these people follow hini where ever he goes. It isn't so much the market that attracts the tobacco grower as it is HaN ry Davis himself. To say that he I will make the Liberty Warehouse one of the leading auction houses in Lumberton is a true statement rather than a prediction. At present Mr. Davis is on the Winston-Salem market where he is one of the proprietors of the George-Davis Warehouse.
