TOBACCOSELLS LOW ON BORDER Million and a Half Pounds Change Hands in The East —Average At $l2. j Wilmington, Aug. 7—Golden i leaves turned into greenback* 'on the North Carolina border markets of the South Carolina or Pee Dee belt today when nearly a million and a half pounds of the weed swapped i ownership. It took a lot of leaves to | make a greenback, however, for the average price on the seven markets ranged around $l2 per hundred, with possibly one or two markets ranging ; as high as $l4. I Lumberton was expected to ; lead in the number of pounds I sold, four warehouses there being said to have handled at ; least half million pounds. The "breaks" were as bad as ever seen in the belt, buyers said. The sand lugs, or prim ings, were dirty light to dark brown in color and without grain. The usual golden color was lacking. Warehousemen and planters attributed this to the lateness of the season, wet weather and lack of time to harvest and grade properly. While tobacco sales were disappointing to a number of farmers in some sections, they ralized the quality being offer ed was poor and went about preparing for better prices as the texture improves. ; SCHOOL BOARD BUYS TRUCKS To Be Used At King and , Sandy Ridge Schoob—-Open ing Dates For Schools I* •• Fixed. i Four more school trucks were contracted for at Mon day's meeting of the Stokes Board of Education.
