MILLION POUNDS OF TOBACCO SOLD First Day of Week Starts Off Well With The Border Markets Wilmington, Aug 15 Tobacco growers from three counties in the southeastern section of the State bordering on South Carolina went in to the first full week of the 1927 sea son today by selling close to a mil lion pounds of the golden weed for an average price of about $22 per hundred pounds. While there was a lot of up-stalk tobacco offered which brought hand some prices thf re were thousands of baskets of primings of first leaves holding what would otherwise have been a record-breaking average for the second week to less than $25 per hundred pounds. Despite threatening clouds and oc casional showers the proud owners of possibly the greatest tobacco crop ev er grown in this section of the Stat"e went to their respective markets and received in return profits which oc casioned no dissatisfaction according to those visiting the majority of the markets. Whiteville reporting officially for the first time shows $198,574 pounds sold for an average of $21.59 per hun- rtd. This ma;ket giving official fig- ures tor tne nisi iour nays ui uie season sold 788,427 pounds for an av erage of $19. GO per hundred. Clarkton sold 56,324 pounds for $12,347.4-8 or an average of $21.89. This market, which is one of the fast est growing in the belt, is showing marked improvement over last? year while the older markets are also breaking their own records. From Fairmont comes the official statement of 286,273 pounds for a total of $66,771, an average of $23. 33 The majority of weed offered was primings, with 32 per cent of the second and third toppings, and three per cent fourth toppings. That the companies are ready for the better grades and are prepared to bid brisk ly on the up-stalk tobacco is evidenc ed by sale of several baskets at prices ranging from $30 to $51 per hun dred pounds. Lumberton likewise shows an in crease in average price, official fig ures ggiving that market an average of $21.71 for the break of 210,767 or a total of $45,774.11 The Lum berton maiket is going strong this year, according td information from that town and rectord breaking sales are being made.

AN INSIDE ROUTE TO CAPE LOOKOUT Important Hearing To Taks Place On Question Of Much Interest l The News is in receipt of a notice from Major W. A. Snow of a public hearing to takep lace hre on August the 26th that may te,'of considerable importance. It is ri reference to the making of a channel foe boats of con siderable draft fronitJorth River to Lighthouse Bay. This channel, if it is ever made, will afford the means of easy access to Cape Lookout at practically an seasons ana in mui unj weather. At present a trip to the Cape depends primarily upon the weather and even in good weather many people will notfco because they are afraid of getting seasick. The Federal Government maintains a lighthouse, a coast guard station and a compass station at the Cape. Persons who are connected with these institutions travel back and forth and are frequently inconvenienced by the bad weather. With the inside route they would have practically no diffi culty. The channel would be of great benefit to Harker's Island fishermen who do much fishing on the Cape Lookout grounds. Beaufort and Morehead City boatmen, and others who have occasion to go to Cape Lookout from time to time would also be glad to see the channel opened so the News is informed. Some have stated to the News that they hope good delegations from Cape Lookout, Harker's Island, Beaufort and More head City will be present at the hear ing. The official notice reads as fo lows: "The river and harbor act approv ed January 21, 192q provided for the following preliminary examination: 'Chancel from North River via Ba'ck Sound to Lighthouse Bay, N. C." For the purpose of affording all in terested parties an opportunity of presenting their views on this im provement, a public hearing will be hejd. at the County Court House, Eeaufort, N. C, August 26, 1927, at 12 o'clock, noon. All interested parties are invited to be. present and express their views as to what benefits may be derived from the proposed improvement. For accuracy of record all important facts or arguments should be submitted in writing. You are requested to communicate the foregoing to any persons known by you to be interested in the pro posed improvement, and who, not be ing known to this office, do not re ceive a copy of this communication.

NEW PILLING STATION SUCCEEDS OLD DWELLING Beaufort is an old town and has a pood many old buildings in it but oc casionally one of them has to make room for a new one. An old resi dence at the southwest corner of Ann and Moore streets, which had been there longer than anybody in Beau fort can recollect, has just been de molished and the lot will be used for i filling station so it is reported. Mr. Frank Longest who knows as much rbout Beaufort as any one does, and I more than most folks, says he believes the old house was about 145 years old. It was built and occupied by David Morse many yeais ago. Since then it has changed hands a good many times and was sold a few months ago to Messrs. George J. Brooks, J. F. Duncan and C. R. Wheatly who it is reported will erect an up-to-date automobile service sta tion there. The timbers in the old building were all well preserved and look like they might be good for an other hundred years or so. WEDDING LICENSES.

Beaufort Club Lost J? Two To Rose till Beaufort suffered a slsmp in the win column and dropped from 761 to 714, due to two defeats handed them by Rose Hill and one by Greenville. Poor pitching and erratic support on the part of the Beaufort team con tributed to their losses. Rose Hill was on the little end of a 4 to 2 score in the ninth inning of last Friday's game but tied the score at 4 all. Morton won. his own ball game in the tenth by slamming ou a I four bagger with one man on, ooin teams got seven hits each, bu the Rose Hill aggregation bunched hits off Springle to score their runs. Lon gest and Caffrey each got a home run to help in the scoring. In the Saturday game Rose Hill started off things with a bang and scored four runs in the first inning, defeating Beaufort 11 to 2. Longest slammed the pill over the right field fence for a circuit trip in the sec ond inning with the bases empty. Beaufort's other marker came when Skarren knocked in Kirby. Beaufort was defeated at Green ville by that aggregation Wednesday 8 to 4. Greenville got three runs in the first inning and Beaufort tied the score in the third, but couldn't ratViPr in hut one more run. The Greenville team got 11 hits on Uraay i . . . . t and Willis while the Beaufort squad. got 9 hits off Forbes, but couldn t bunch their bingles.

INLET KEPT OPEN Plea For Government to Con tinue Maintenance Made By Morehead City People Wilmington, August i Fleas for the government to continue mainte nance of Beaufort Inlet, which pro vides Morehead City with deep water to the sea, were made Friday by cit ;n nf that, rnmmunitv at a meeting of sub.committee 0f the state i transportation advisory committee. I Announcement to this effect was made by Major W. A. Snow, district engineer, who was in attendance at the hearing. The meeting was held for the purpose of discussing with the residents the supposed abandoment of the pier a Morehead City by the Norfolk-Southern Railway Company, who purchased it sometime ago. The committee was informed that the railway bought the pier from Morehead City interests with the un derstanding that it would be operated, making available space for the dock ing of ocean going steamships. The contention of the residents was to the effect that the railroad had not com plied with this phase. Under government status the chan nel at Beaufort only can be maintain- lit? , , . a -f vina- llsPrf , Th dents realize that unless steps are taken to supply dock facilities that the govern ment wil possibly discontinue main tenance of the deeper waterway to to the sea. At the present Beaufort Inlet, which has a depth of 20 feet from Morehead City to the sea, is being used entirely by smaller craft, there not being facilities at that city for the handling of large ocean craft. The committee was told that if the residents are given assurance that the waterway will be maintained by the government they will proceed with plans for the erection of ade quate terminals at Morehead City. They displayed a wonderful spirit I for the development of their city and indicated they will do most any- : thing to assure maintenance of the water now available at woreneaa City. Several of those attending the hearing were greatly impressed with the interest shown by Morehead City's residents, declaring they are deeply interested in their city and that they are constantly working in its behalf. It is believed the city will maintain the water it now enjoys and that the city will be visited by the ships it is capable of handling. It was mdicat- e(j jn the meeting that several large lines would visit Morehead if terminal facilities were available. .. t i FORMER SOLICITOR BOOSTS SMITH FOR PRESIDENT The Honorable Jesse H. Davis for- , merlv Solicitor of this judicial district was jn town Monday and while here did considerable boosting of Governer Al Smith for President.
