The - warehouses of Madison
held their opening sales Satur
day, about 35 loads of primings
being sold at average of some
thing over 7 cts. Tobacco has
started off better this year than
last and it is thought it will sell
considerably higher.
It is reported here that the
contract was let yesterday by
the N. & W. for a branch from
its line at Ridgeway to Spray,
the contract price being SIOO,OOO.
This, it is thought, will cause
the Southern to at once build its
proposed line from Leaksville to
Madison and if this is done it
means great things for this
town and section.

Several people of this place
attended church at Spoon Creek
Sanday, and report a large
crowd.
An apple peeling was given by

Raleigh Evening Times.
One of the biggest bids made
for business in this" state in
' recent years by a daily news
paper has just been announced
by the Evening Times of Ral
eigh. The subscription price of
this paper is $5.00 per year, but
for a period of ten days only,
from October 1 to October 10 at
12 o'clock p. m., they are going
to accept yearly subscriptions in
advance for the sum of $2.50.
This certainly is one of the most
remarkable offers ever made by
a responsible newspaper in this
section. It is frequently done
in the North and West, but The
Evening Times is the first to
inaugurate such a plan in this
section. The idea is, according
to Editor Simms, of the Even
ing Times, that several thou
sand new subscriptions can be
added to the list in these ten
days and collections made on
the old accounts with practically
no cost, and, therefore, it is
best to give the subscril>ers the
benefit of the quick work. The
Evening Times is Raleigh's
great afternoon paper and its
•
leased wire telegraph service
and state news page is among
the best. The idea of getting a
daily paper on a bargain for
$2.50 per year in this state will
be watched with much interest.

Gratifying Figures.
The year of grace 1910 can be
called without exaggeration a
good year for the farmers. Al-1
though few will be disposed to
; question this statement, it is
probable that figures presented;
jby two of our contemporaries j
j dealing with grain crops in!
; their respective counties may;
| give a clearer idea of the agri-|
; cultural prosperity at present \
; enjoyed by North Carolina than
could possibly be derived from
jany generalization. The Mor
j ganton News-Herald has receiv
ed reports from farmers indicat
! ing that there have been thresh
ed in Burke county this season
30,495 bushels of wheat, 2,820 of
! rye and 2,383 of oats, with some
i returns yet to be received.
From similar reports The Dan- j
bury Reporter gives the figures i
, for Stokes as follpws : Wheat,
84,533; rye, 3,146; oats, 1,834.
Those figures furnish good;
ground for optimism. "Next;
, year." The Reporter believes,
"the fever of bigger yields and
less land will spread wide in
every neighborhood. The slo-;
I gan set on foot by the Farm- 1
I
! era' Union, 'Raise your home
(supplies,' will echo and resound.
lon every plantation and the im
' provement in the condition of
the farmer will be in even a.
j larger ratio than for Che year
drawing to a close. 1 ' Charlotte
