TOBACCO MARKETS
OPEN TUESDAY
STOKES FARMERS ARE READY
WITH A GOOD CROP
PRICES ARE ANTICIPATED |
AS CONSIDERABLY ABOVE
LAST YEAR—BIG RUSH EX
PECTED NEXT WEEK
The farmers of Stokes are 1
ready with a good to fine crop
for the opening of the ware-;
houses next Tuesday.
Many loads have already been
conveyed to the markets, while I
hundreds are prepared for pack- 1
ing in the trucks and automobiles
for the first sales.
The prices down east are very
encouraging, and quite a number
of growers have already tried the'
Durham and other markets an
have been pleased with results.
The Stokes crop will weigh ou'
some 25 to 33 per cent, less than
last year, but it is generally be
lieved that the 1910 crop will
bring as much or more money
than that of 1939-
A big rush is expected next
week when thousands of farmers
—many of them mere spectators
»—will crowd the various markets.
Denny Predicts
Normal Majority
Raleigh—Chairman E. B. Den
ny of the state Democratic execu
tive committee believes that "the
Democrats in North Carolina who
vote for Mr. Willkie will be more
than offset by the Republicans
who vote for Mr. Roosevelt.
He said yesterday that he be
lieved that Paul Leonard of
Statesville, secretary of the State
Fair Tax Association, who has
announced his intention of sup
porting Willkie, "spoke as just
one man" and not es the head jf
an organization controlling a
block of Democratic votes.
Denny predicted that the Dem
ocrats would have th»-ir "norrnai"
majority in the Novtmber elec

North Carolina Draft
Quota Expected to Be
Under 13,000
Raleigh.—North Carolina's ini
i tial quota under the military

000 men, less whatever credits
are granted this state for men al- j
! ready in the nation's armed i
j forces, including the national j
guard, ar. unofficial computation'
'showed bst night.
Tentative plans now call for a
first draft of about 400,000 men
jfrom the nation as a whole
State draft officials have not beer,
notified as to what credit this j
state will receive for volunteers'
in the armed forces, but North
Carolina is near the top in the
' number of volunteers furnished.
War Department officials an
nounced in Washington that th-j
first forms required for registra
' tion of all men between 21 and
!
30 had been mailed to the states,
where they will be printed. Adj-
Gen. J. Van B- Metts, who heads
; the draft in North Carolina, has
made arrangements for printing
i' of the necessary forms in ample
: time before the October 16 regis
-1
, tration.
On October 16, it is estimated
404,000 Tar Heels will go to their
voting places and register. Regu
lar registrars will handle th-3
work
j Each man will be asked these
questions: Name, address, tele
' phone number, age, date of birth,
name of person who always will
j'
know his address, relationship oi
I
that person, employer's name, ami
' piacc of business or employment.

is guarded by this army, and with
