TOBACCO SALES
STARTED TUESDAY
Price On Winston-Salem Mar
ket Was Around 23 Cents—
Million Pounds Offered First
Day. „
The Winston-Salem tobacco mar
ket opened Tuesday with about one
million pounds of the weed on the
warehouse floors, and the average
price paid the farmers was 23 cents
per pound.
. It was the general opinion among
farmers that prices on the better
grades of tobacco were no higher
than last season, but that the poorer
grades were considerably higher.
The average price on the opening
day last year was only about 1 1
cents per pound. The higher aver
age this year is accounted for
largely by the fact that the crop
is far superior to last year's crop.
A good number of Stokes farmers
visited the market the first day and
were generally very well pleased
with the sales they made.
The first frost of the season was
seen here this morning. No injury
was done to tobacco in the field,
however.
FORSYTH DOGS
MUST WEAR TAGS
County Commissioners Make
This Order When They Have
To Pay Damage Claims On
Account of Dogs.
Hereafter the dogs of Forsytn
county will wear tags bearing num
bers or they are liable to be killed
and their owners prosecuted under
the criminal law according to a sta
tute of North Carolina, Chapter 381,
Laws of 1911, entitled an act to
migitate the evils of hydrophobia.
The commissioners became pain
fully aware of this evil Monday
when they authorized the payment
of $213 for the damage done by un
known rabid dogs. The owners of
these dogs could not be found be
cause a mad dog owner does not us
ually push his title and because the
aninfals were not nlarked. The
Forsyth county commissioners want
all dogs marked in the future and
they have asked the sheriff to en
force the statute to the limit. Dog
tags will be ordered and unlicensed
dogs will not be allowed to operate.
The case in which the commis
sioners had to fork over the cash
Monday morning, was that one in
volving the biting of a mule belong
ing to F. M. Holland, of Belews
Creek township. The mule in turn
bit a veterinary surgeon, Z. B. Bit
ting. Dr. Bitting is taking the pas
teur treatment. The county reim
bursed Dr. Bitting, F. M. Holland
and J. D. Fulton, who were also bit
ten by a rabid dog.
