The Golden Leaf Crowns North
Carolina and She Leads the
United States
RALEIGhTN. C, Jan. 10. To
bacco is king in North Carolina, and
it entitles her to first rank among all
Rtatea for this crop in acreage and
value. Kentucky has long held the
fifirst place, but the 1920 crop has
put her in second rank, by $27,000,-
00 below that bed by North aro
Mna. North Carolina's total of 582,00
acres, produced a $97,182,000 tobac
co crop. The acreage in the state
was increased 11 per cent, tbt pro
duction 11.8 per cent, and the total
. vajue decreased 44 per cent since
119.
The quality was, poor, it being pa
pery or devoid of wax, quite Spotted
and irregular in color, with much ev-.
ifence of unripe cttfllng. The color
was variable but fair. The Alamance
ad Caswejl counties area produced
the best and about the only good to
bacco in the state. Quite a slump
in prices occurred late in November
nd December, excepting with the
best qualities.
' The United States crop ' was in
creased four per cent in production
sad yielded sixty-five per cetit less
in value.' The national average for
this crop was 79ft pounds, valued at
$168, per acre at 21 cunts per pound.
The state's tobacco crop averaged
$17 per acre, while the average of
all crops was S4 5.0ft. This means
that the tobacco value is equal to
about thirty per cent of the total vnl-
u of all crow, while it ha4 Unt
twelve per cent of the acreage.
NORTH
CAROLINA'S
SOURCES.
Nearly all the states now care for
their game resources, and enforce
their game laws, through State Game
Commissions, having found that en
forcement through the usual chan
nels is always unsatisfactory. We
do not konw of any state reverting
back to former conditions after once
adopting the Game Commission plan.
There is no compilation oi- tne
game laws of the State now issued by
any authority, nor is there likely to
be with our present voluminous, in
cate local laws, now on the statute
books. As a consequence, these laws
are frequently violated through ig
norance.
A State Game Commission would
cost the taxpayer nothing, the ex
penses of the Commission being paid
from the funds received from license
1 j
jieos.

States and Canada, proclaimed Au-

Beaufort had a visit last evening
about sundown from a couple of
oorini visitors. Thev came here
from Norfolk in a Curtis seaplane,!
making the trip in about three hours.
The visitors were Messrs. A. P. ne-
lot and J. M. Miller, of New York.
Mr. Pielot who is the owner of the
plane is a New York business man
urm n fancv for flying. He has
made trips to Canada and other
parts by the airoute and feels quite
at home when he is a thousand or so
feet uo in the blue sky. During the
wnr Mr. Pielot was in , the Secret
Service Department of the Federal
Government and had some very in
teresting experiences while engaged
in running down Epies and enemy
aliens. Mr. Miller is the mechani
cian on the airship and is a sure
enough sky pilot. He was in the Na
val Air Service while the war was
coine on and for many months sailed
around-New York watching out for
German subs and guarding transport
and other craft Since tne war ne
has been connected most of the time
with one of the air service companies
and spent several months In Florida
last winter carrying passengers to
the Bahamas and elsewhere.
Messrs. Pielot and Miller came to
Norfolk from New York and after
spending a few days around there ran
ud to Richmond for a day or so and

The meeting of the North Caroli
na Press Association which took
place in Charlotte last week was not
so large as the Summer meetings
usually are but nevertheless there
was a good attendance present. The
Beaufort News representative trav
elled about as far as" anybody who
went (there although there. were one
or two others who lived as far away.
Charlotte is the seeond largest city
in the State and without doubt one
of the most progressive. It has
large manufacturing industry, many
fine stores, strong banks, good hotels,
dailv newspapers, splendid churches
schools, residences, well paved streets
and picture shows a plenty. In fact
all that is needed to make a modern
thrivinff city Charlotte has.
Automobiles provided by the Cham
ber of Commerce took the newspaper
folks for a ride over the town and
there is no doubt but that they were
greatly impressed and that as a cbn-
Charlotte will eet some
ood advertising.
The Press Association was in ses
sion the better part of two days and
the -time was taken up mainly In con
sidering the many problems of the
publishing business. The testimony 1
of those present was that except for
allght decline in the kind of paper
used for printing newspapers mere
has been no decrease in the cost of
the publishing business. The ex
penses of publishing newspapers are
n hifrh. a hundred per cent
Mrs. Henrietta Mann, widow of
rt,a intfl T). L. Mann., a well known
farmer who lived pear Newport, died
last Saturday afternoon at her home.
Mrs, Mann had been in bad health for
some time and while tier cnu
deeply regretted it was nbt entirely
n,otA. She was 66 years old
and the mother of 13 children: eight
of whom survive her. ,
The funeral services ol tne ue
ceased took place at the beand the
interment was in the family Durymg
