PROHIBITION MAN Alleged Liquor Smuggler Passea .Througli Before -' Officer Arrive Bumor has it that blockade whi: key running along the Atlantic coast ls.Ugt:Mached;tfae'-tag 'which smuggling and piracy attained some centuries ago. While ndt much of this illicit liquor traffic has Beaufort or Morehead City as" iU objective, yet it is reasonably certain ' that a considerable quanity of wet gbods passes through Beaufort inlet oa.Ma way to cities north of here. , i. On Tuesday . a prohibitaorT airentl irom 6auJsbury put in his appearance here f or the purpos of seizing a ves sel said to be coming through laden with liquor." The vessel' wanted was the 100 ton steam yacht Saltilla which was alleged 'to. bo bound for New York with a cargo of 1500 cases of liquors. . The prohibition man was too too late however as the bird had flown when he got here. The Satilla crossed the bar' Sunday night, went into the harbor of Morehead City and after staying for thirty minutes and getting a pilot for Norfolk pur. sued hef course. If he Satilla had the cargo alleged and succeeded in disposing of it at $10 a quart , the neat sum of 1180,000 would have been realised from the voyage. v- Since national prohibition Went into effect there-have been reports here that various. and sundry tugs, yachts and other vessels passing through these water have' had liquor aboard. In fact on one or two oc caslons some of the thirsty about here have been able to get a few"bott!s of he contrabrand stuff. As a rule though not much of the' blockade liquor is sold here. A few weeks ago the Polly a yacht that had been converted into a .filch ing boat and which belonged here pawed through northbound and it was said to be loaded with booze An effort was made by the officers to capture her but when it was finally SPECIAL SESSION ENDED TUESDAY A' Few Important Bills And Many Of Local Nature Rush o d Through Special Session One hour after midnight Tuesdav the Special session of the General Assembly adjburn'er"r JJany of .'the members had left for " their homes I baturday and were not present when adjournment took place. ; ' : - i !The special objects for which the legislature was called together by Governor Morris wAs to correct an error iri the Municipa andFlnance Act and to urovlde for "a 700,000 deficit in the school fund.

Raleigh, N. C, Dec.,lD21-The tobacco crop of North Carolina is lakgIjkjjpens Hity of North Carolina ranking third among the United States in total vaU . ue of crops. Of course the cotton will help considerably. The 1921 tobacco crop has averaged 23 cents to date which is considerably high er than last year. The production was more than, was expected. Comments received with the Nov ember sales reports from the tobac co warehouses, Indicates, that about 65 per cent of the 1921 crop has been marketed. The season's producers sales to date have amounted to 180, 921,628 pounds, including missing reports), while the latest government estimate for the toal crop is 295,000, 000 pounds. . ' ,The recenly revised reports from the Department of Agriculture show the 1919 crop as 822,404,654 pounds from 528y4C0 acres. These were ac tual sales during that year when the census was made and which showed a production of 280,163,432 pounds, from 459,011 acres. The actual sales were 15 per cent more than the cen sus showed. . v The high prices paid for tobacco during the 1919 season whichaverag ed 51 cents, occasioned an over pro duction in 1920 when farmers sales amounted to 431,498,000 pounds from 025,394 acres. Prices for 1920 averaged $21.28, or less than half of the 1919 average, and less than the actual cost of production. During November there were 74, 400,917 pounds of farmers' tobacco sold (including estimates for missing reports). The price averaged $27. 02 as compared with $24.71 for Nov ember' last year. This amount 'is one fourth of the total crpp produc ed, and the seasons sales of 180,921, 628 pounds leaves 114,000,000 pounds to be marketed during the remain der of the season. The markets bringing the -highest prices in November were Fuiuay Springs $33.28, Aberdeen $31.90, and Farmville $34.54. The Wilson market has sold 25,330,318 pounds during the eca'j:i end Winston Slem 14,710,513 pound.. -There two being the largest market In the state.
