I.—Almost eleven million pounds of tobacco was sold at the local auction warehouses by the farmers of the Piedmont sec tion during the month of October, according to the monthly report re cently compiled by Major Z.

The exact figures, according to the report were 10,934,584 pounds, which sold for the splendid sum of $2,468,048.69 an average price of 926.57 per hundred pounds. This average is considered by both the farmers and warehousemen as a splendid average, taking into con sideration the fact that a lot of dam aged tobcco and thousands of pounds of tobacco of poor quality was sold during the month. November sales are expected to be fully as heavy as those of the preceding month.

Almost Too Good To Be True (Durham Herald.) We learn from the Raleigh Times that Frank Page has proposed a "fool-proof" traffic rule for Raleigh. If it should turn out to be really fool proof, which we doubt, Raleigh should hasten to put it into effect, then pass it along to other cities. Many "fool-proof" suggestions huve been adopted in other lines of risk, and some of them have merited the name, but we have yet to see a fool proof traffic rule or law. It seems that a man ordinarily considered as having good judgment becomes a nut fool who engages in that sport, re when he takes up motoring, ana the j I creation or whatever you may choose i to call it, only becomes a bigger fool. I There seems to be something about' ! motoring that robs men and women i lof their good sense. They will take | | more unnecessary chances in driving | automobiles than Ithey would even ' I think of taking in anything else., | They lose all judgment of comparis- i Ions; all sense of proprieties, and all > regard for fellow-man. We admit | that indictment is strong, and doesn't apply to everybody, but it applies to ! more people than it misses, which justifies it. There seems to be some thing about an automobile which | causes the driver to disregard all i rules of care, and make him act as though he were endowed with super- 1 1 human powers and authority. The awakening from that state of mind . generally comes sooner or later, but ; it usually takes a severe jolt to bring it about. That's why one person in every 10,000 in North Carolina is killed every year by automobile.; That means that probably four Dur-1 ham persons will be killed in auto-! i mobile accident in the next twelve I months. If Frank Page has really devised a ; fool-proof traffic rule and it turns | | out successful in general application in this state, then the citizenship of North Carolina will rise up and call > him blessed. I I The construction forces of the ,! Mulligan Construction Co., who are I building the I>a:ibury Westtield road I j have reached I'anbury and the pro ' ject will soon be completed.
