MATTER GIVEN TEST' Party of Citizens Measure L>is- j tance and lind Walnut Cove Route Shortest—Thinks Wal- j nut Cove Tobacco Market Has 1 Been Misrepresented Some Facts Stated. Walnut Cove, Oct. 20. Vari ous far-fetched reports, which if believed by the general public ;to be true would prove detri i mental to the tobacco market at ' this place, being circulated in i ! certain sections of the county bv ' 'individuals whose veracity nOj one would question but whose imaginations know no bounds, compel us to submit to the read ers of this article what we may justly term the truth about the Walnut Cove tobacco market as it really is. This has long since been deemed, even in the higher tobacco circles, an established market for the sale of leaf to bacco. We have two well light ed, well arranged warehouses! with every available accommo-J dation for the farmer and his | stock. The management of these I warehouses rests with E. J. Davis & Sons, of Martinsville, Va., and McGehee & Hutcher son, of Reidsville, N. C., a bunch i of as congenial, hospitable, hard | working men as ever graced the floors of a tobacco warehouse: 1 men who have successfully con ducted and who will still conduct warehouses in the big markets of North and South Carolina and Virginia; men of irreproachable character who have the financial stamina to handle the-sale of j every pile of tobacco in an ac i ceptable manner to the ei.tire satisfaction of the farmer. No better auctioneers ever stood ! over a pile of tobacco than J. C. ; Hutcherson. of the New house and T. L. Tapseot, of the Old I house, and certainly no two men ever worked harder for the top I price on every grade. The big ! srest manufacturers of tobacco in i North America are represented | here by as good buyers as they ! place on any market. Henry I Byrd, of Martinsville, Va.. buys ! for the American Tobacco Co.: ;Cy Young, of Durham, for the i Export Tobacco Co.: and R. P. Sartin, of Uurlington, for Lig gett 0* Mvers. Besides those 'regular buyers, who attend | every sale, more than ball' a d >:en ; other manufacturers are giving | daily orders for certain grades, (while Hviiry MeGehee buys thousands of pounds every week on orders which he regularly has. The Ananias who malicious ly informs a farmer that there are only two buyers on the Wal nut Cove market will please take notice and investigate the facts stated above. Competitive buy ing is a feature far more notice able here where the sales are ! never glutt 'd than on the floors jOf the bigger markets. Every pile of tobacco has the individual attention of every warehouse man and buyer, not a grade is passed unnoticed and not a planter sells his product here who does not realize the market price for every grade. Recently there has been much speculation concerning the dis ! tance from Meadows to Wins | ton-Salem as to which is the j shorter route byway of Walnut j Cove or byway of Germanton. I Parties in Winston-Salem had | gane so far as to advise tobacco ; growers enroute to market to take i the right hand at Meadows and |go byway of Germanton. stating that it was three miles nearer that way. To decide the question a representative group of business men traveled over the two roads Sunday afternoon, measuring I every inch of each route, and ac | cording to a standard speedometer on a Studebaker automobile the distance from Meadows to Wins ton-Salem is 24 miles via Ger manton and from Meadows to Winston-Salem via Walnut Cove J is 23.5, making the Walnut Cove route shorter by a margin of two | tenths of a mile. On account of . distance as well as from a good ! roads standpoint the Walnut Cove road is the logical route for traffic from northern Stokes. As tobacco begins to move in ! earnest the warehouses here are busy early and late. Stokes ' county farmers are realizing the ' need of a home market and are ! patronizing Walnut Cove to an ' extent that is flattering to ware -1 housemen, buyers and business ' men. On yesterday's sale seven ' teen thousand pounds of tobacco ' was sold at an average of $10.30 per hundred. Nearly $1,800.00 of good, hard coin was paid out , to two score of well satisfied farmers. Not a man was heard to grumble about his sale but on [ the other hand many were inter viewed who received far more than they expected to realize. ,!
