Burlington a Tobacco CeKter
Three Large Ware Hoiises
This Year.
The Ware house men^, . merch
ants and citizens of
and Alamance County are aMke
resoived to make Burlizti^oa the
chief center for the saleof vto^ja-
cco this season. With thi^
large and commodious ware hous
es operated by men of years of
experience this will be an es^y
propceition and all thatisneed^
is co-operation and this is assur
ed.
The Farmers Ware house with
M^srs. B. M. Walker and R. T.
Kemodie as proprietors has al
ready opened and extends a most
cordial invitation to the farmers
to bring a load of tol^eco and
see how well it will seU. Bo^
these gentlemen have hjad vast
experience in raising buying and
selling tobacco and certainly no
warehouse men understand the
business better. Messrs. Robt.
Allred and John Baynes who have
many friends in the county willbe
associated with them.
The Brick Warehouse opened
last week. Messrs. Thornburg
and Guthrie have charge. Mr.
Thornburg was one of the first
warehouse men to open a market
at this place and lias made many
friends. Mr. B. O. Guthrie is
well known through the county
and will be pleased to see his
friends on the market.
Mr. Morgan's new Warehouse
has just been completed and is an
excellent building located on
Davis street, well lighted, venti-
ated and built by the plans of Mr.
Morgan who is an exceptionally
fine tobacco salesman. Mor
gans warehouse will be open
September 17th. Mr. WUi Leath
who has been in South Carolina
has returned and will be with Mr.
Morganagain. .
One thing that will especially
interest the farmer and his ^ck-
et book is the fact that the Burl
ington tobacco market has grown
to be such a large one that all the
large tobacco dealers have repre
sentatives on the market
insures the seller the best possf-
ble price fw the weed.
We have always believed
ington to be the best town in the
stote and feel sure no town its
size will sell more tobacco the
present season.
Borlington Graded School bas
Splendid Opemng.
The Burlington Graded School
with Rev, P. H. Fleming, Presi
dent anf Prof. J. P. Walker as
principal of the Grammar School
had a fine opening Monday. New
life wa^ added the streets of the
town Monday and glad vacation
days appeared to have been lost
sight. Seven hundred and nine-
ty-nine students enrolled in the
white school, the various grades
being very badly congested one
grade haying 110 another 62 an
other 59 and s •> on which 'was
more by far than could be con
veniently accommodated. The
old union church is being spoken
©f as a probable place for the
higher grades while other ar
rangements are being discussed
and a finil decision has not been
reached by the board. Among
those present at the jf^ning
Monday was a number of visitors
some having been fNniner stu>
dents, several members >of the
board. President Smith 0f the
Ay cock Graded Sd»®ol at
Haw River. Rev. T. A. Sikes of
the Front Street Methodist
Church conducted the opening
exercises. The patsrons and
board feel very proud to have
such an excellent hand of teach
ers twenty strong ^ the lead of
this great educationsal march.
Many of the nuiaaber having
taught before in our midst and
are very favorably remembered
and much liked by sttmdents and
parents. The musi-c department
feels especially proud to hav«
Miss Benbow of Greensboro as
its instructor. That we have
had such a splendid opening and
with our compulsory school law,
there appears n^thing lacking
but consistant perseverance.

Graham, N. J., Sept. 8.—The
Board of County Commissioners
of Alamance Gounty met in the
Court house on the above date as
per adjournment of Sept. 1st at
ten o'clock A* M. with the fol
lowing members present. Geo.
T. Williamson, Chairman, W. H.
Tserrentine, Chas. H. Roney,
jOjas. F. Gates, W. H. i ogleman.
I'he ft^Howing business was
Jaransacted.
Upon motion duly made and
seconded: Be it resolved by
this Board that while we are
heartly in sympathy with the
movement of employing a Su
perintendent of Health for his
full time and would be glad to
vote for it; but considering the
financial condition of the county
and the urgent need of a new
jail building which will cost the
county several thousand dollars
we feel that it would not be wise
to bring this expense on the
at this time and therefore
^^nnot i^y a superintendent
for hw fall ^e at the present
itime.
The motion put and carried.

gteat anticipation and found^ie
nam^ Mr. Sam Gantt of Beats-
mbnt, Gal. and Miss Mabel Isley,

Elon College opened last wb^
with the largest enrollment in
its history. The freshman
class contains 116 members and

The enrollment for the year bids
fair to exceed by a large major

tions are being made of a 400
enrollment for the year—a most
phenomenal growth for an in-
stition just entering its 24th

erected during the past session,
are both popular with the stu
dent body.
Miss Bessie Uaqunart, Dean
of Women, is delighting the

Dean of Men.
Dr. E E. Randolph, as head
of the German and French Depts

Randolph, was here three years
ago, going to Erskine College,
from which he now returns to
Elon.
The other six additional mem
bers of the Faculty are busy in
respective departments. Dr J.
U. Newman, Cofl^e Dean, is
back from his vacation
sperit in Northfield,
Mass. and Dr. W. C. Wicker
