GREENSBORO, N. C. 1 FACE TWO TOBACCO NEWS Much Of Weed Com ing In, urn, i sa OB AC CO cam In this week II plenty of it much more II than the warehouse men ex 11 ; pected, because the big buy ers are not yet on the mar ket. It sold very well prices rang ing from II M to 16 cents per ' pound. The crop Is short this year, but there Is considerably more than many think and when the buyers get on the market and the war gets a little further along men who offer advice say hold the crop and bigger prices will be paid later. In an address recently delivered at the Farmers convention in Greenville, Mr. 0. L. Joyner made some very strong remarks concern ing the haste in which the tobacco farmer rushes in his crop. Mr. Joyner contended that the farmer should not get rid of his tobacco all at once. He said: "It requires the best part of twelve full months to produce a crop of tobacco, and yet under the sys- tem we have drifted into in market ing it, we get rid of it in practically about three and one-halt months. 1 have known nearly every warehouse on all the largest markets in eastern' North Carolina chock-a-block and for days, sometimes weeks blocked sales, and this, too, during years when comparatively small crops were made. In other words, farmers gen erally all get through curing about the same time and instead of system atically disposing of the crop during a period of from five to six months, commencing about September 1st, and selling only about one-flfth or -one-sixth of the crop on the market during any one month, as a rule dur ing the last several years at least half the crop has been disposed of by October 15th, certainly not later than November 1st, and a large ma jority of this enormous bulk has been thrown to the buyers In about six weeks." Then he advised slower sales; told the farmer he would certainly get more if he didn't crowd the market, and it looks to us like good advice. There Is much tobacco not yet ready for the market, but the indica tions are that Greensboro will enjoy her share of the selling. Those who have tobacco are asked to consider the Inducements offered by "the Greensboro market. In this paper commencing within a week or two there will be printed a full list of the many valuable prizes to be offered farmers. The first list will appear this month perhaps the last issue, giving the prizes for October. In this list will be some very valuable prizes offered. It Is thought the buyers for the big companies will be on the market within a short time, and Greensboro wants it understood that he will pay as high prices as any market; that she will take care of all who come to sell, and In addition to the regular prices paid by buyers the offering of valuable prizes prizes worth while, prizes having real, a& tual cash value, will make it to the Interest of all growers to come to the Greensboro market. WEST MARKET TERRACE. We Are Xot Keeping Vp With The . Sales.:'' . West Market Terrace was placed on the market a week ago last Mon day and of course It was thought that If a dozen lots were sold the first two or three weeks that It would be a successful sale. But when twenty four lots were sold the first week, and when Tuesday came 36 had been sold, we concluded that there was no use to keep tab on how many were sold, but to commence to figure on how many were left. Never was a lot sale put on before where such success attended it. The reason is. West Market Terrace is a beautiful suburb close in and lo cated ideally. Blockader Caught. Prince Farrington, long wanted by the officers for Illicit distilling wag captured Tuesday night twelve miles from Greensboro. He has been long sought and has managed to es cape the officers up to this time. He was indicted eighteen months ago nut made his escape. He will now perhaps be obliged to take his medi cine if guilty of the charges. TOO PARTISAN'. Man Of The Democratic Papers Puff ing Too Loud. Many of the democratic papers are using the material from a hand bill sent out from Washington once a week, called the Bulletin or some thing or other, filled with hot air about Wilson, and the democratic party. It is published by the Na tional Committee and editors are in vited to sit down with their shears and swipe the whole business. One of these sheets reaches this office regularly. Of course we do not Invade it but we note that many papers are swallowing it whole. Wilson Is doing very well. But to even stand for a whole weekly sheet of bombast such as this bul letin Is hardly looks In keeping with plain democracy. - The democratic party is just now coming out and acknowledging what it should have acknowledged long ago that is, that America needs a merchant marine. There never was any doubt about It, but to oppose it. made good thunder. It was a noisy thing, and to charge the republicans with wanting boodle because a mer chant marine carries a subsidy, was quite the, thing. But now we all see why we should Have a merchant marine. Instead of building one like the republicans wanted to build something substan tial and worth while, we will now proceed to buy a lot ot second hand, tubs and convert them Into some thing. So the waste of money will be charged to democracy and we will have second hand what the repub licans wanted to give us first class. And so the war abroad will change the policies of political parties In this country. . THE DOLLAR INSISTING. Some Of Us Wanting To Anger The '. Nations. ;.; The most significant news cc nected with the war Is where Secre tary McAdoo says inasmuch as the German vessels are privately owned if the United States buys them for her merchant marine it will be deal ing with individuals and not a gov ernment. Russia, England and France have already protested against such pur chase. They claim that we have no right to aid financially a belligerent nation. The Associated Press indi cates that McAdoo would split hairs over this question. . Therefore if we buy these German vessels we are very liable to get into the war. .. .. ,,, It would be a "constitutional question, bo to speak, but the dirty dollar would be the cause of the mis understanding. if the Nations at war politely re quest us not to buy the boats and explain to us that they will construe such an act on the part of the United States as giving aid to a Nation en gaged In war looks to us like we had better leave the old tubs alone. But the Dollar always looms up large enough to blind men and pet them off the right road. We had better leave the German property alone at this Juncture The people of the I'nited States should hold mass meetings and pro test against the Pollar getting us mixed up in a war that does not concern us and need not concern us unless we allow avarice and greed to dominate us. Since the above was in type the Chamber of Commerce and Mer chants' Association, at a meeting held Wednesday evening in the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce adopted the following resolutions: He Is ri'w.lv.'d l..v the rimtiilwr of (.'urn nierre mid Ketiill Meriliuiils' Assim-Ih. uf (trwimiHirti. .V.

He It further resolved, That copies of this resolution be sent to our senators and representatives In Cougress, and to tbe chairman of tbe committee having the hill lu charge. Of course what one town says makes but little difference, but Greensboro may set a pace for other towns. The United States wants to keep out of war, and there is no need to be splitting hairs at this juncture. It is not what is lawful it is what is business. Two friendly nations have asked us to keep out let us do so. To the man who "sees things" It is significant that the British Ambas sador called at the White House and talked over matters, and among oth er things the Associated Press car ries this part of the story; this Thursday morning: The ambassador referretl In a general way to the position of the Hrltlsh govern ment on the proposetl purchase of forelg ships for the upbuilding of uu American merchant murine. The President was In formed that Great Britain would place . obstacle in the way and wished the effort success. The Ilritlsli government feels, however, that certain iiiesuous will re quire diplomatic discussion. While not disputing the right of the f'nlted States to purcnase as inaiiv ships from one belligerent nation as she chooses, lireut Hrltaln would not lit? pleased if a great niimher of vessels were bought from tieruiiiii owners, which might give Ger many a big supply of money. The answer of the American government to this is that when the time for purchasing ships arrives nothing uf uu unneutral nature will lie uoue. And that Is why the resolutions were offered; that is why all people should protest against this Nation at this time, doing things that even call for "diplomatic discussion" after i friendly Nation has protested against our doing a certain thing. It was the Constitutional lawyers from Bob Toombs down who put the states at war and caused the con flict of '61. The Alexander bill goes so far but Mr. McAdoo comes in with the proposition that technically we may go as far as we please. The vul tures of commerce are urging that we secure ships no matter ho The chances are, judging the high tension of a power at war; that if we attempt to buy any number of ships of a belligerent Nation and try to fly the American flag over them, the British navy will get some exercise. That is why we are giaa the resolutions were passed. It sug gests that Greensboro was alive to the interests of the whole country. Those who opposed the resolutions, claiming that they had confidence In President Wilson stood on good ground, but now and then it isn't a bad idea for an American citizen to use his constitutional right in suggesting to his representatives how he feels along certain matters In which he is vitally interested. Rati Business. The Negroes held a state medical convention at Raleigh and some or the Smart Alecks of that chaste city threw eggs at the colored, doctors. This is bad business. To think that a man would be so low down but we are having ample evidence every day that our boasted civiliza tion is all on paper. Got In The Fish Catalogue. Cantelonpes weighing twenty pounds, grown on the J. F. Jordan lands at Overhills were exhibited In Greensboro this week. And these cantelonpes weighed it.' They were not in the fish catalogue. Sometimes the figures on the Manchester fish are exaggerated but not on the gar den truck. .. ..-bJL Reminiscent la this Department the Old Mas writes passing fancies maybe recalling happen ings of forty years ago maybe something of only a few months.

Hardly Possible. Seeing the Southern Bell putting In all these hundreds of little wires in one cable arid running them un derground, and seeing the aerial ca ble strng throughout the city makes a fellow feel old. I recall, distinctly, when I first heard about the telephone. I was living in a Bmall town in Nebraska, and Tom Brooks, the telegraph op erator said that down at Falls City, fifty miles away they bad a tele phone. Nobody knew what a tele phone was, but Brooks had made a connection over the Western Union wires and proposed to entertain the people of my town with a musicale the singers were to be in Falls City, fifty miles away. Impossible incomprehensible but we all went down to the little depot and the music struck up, and the women folk were singing and we could hear the songs. Telephones then were not very much. Of course the live men put in a system a dozen strung wires and for a few weeks it was a very novel thing to call up some fellow and talk to him, just to see how it sounded. Now there are millions invested; the traffic of the world is done by phone; the social visit is made often by phone, and the farmer calls up the city and does business with as much ease as though talking with the neighbor over a rail fence. And to know that I have lived to see all this to know that upon top of that marvel came wireless well, it makes a fellow feel old to think he was a kid when all the world's improvements were unknown, e I have seen in my time some In dian fighting. I have seen men scalped and seen the remains ot those who were burned at the stake. We called that sort of warfare sav agery we believed the Indians were guilty of the atrocious deeds because they were savage. I have seen some frightful pillage by Indians but 1 do not recall ever seeing anything as atrocious as what is going on in the old world, under the name of civilized warfare, if the stories read correctly. The dispatches of where little boys were taken and their hands cut off, telling those innocent helpless chaps that they could never bear arms Great God! can it be possible that such a chapter could be written in the 'book of Civilization! Indians and wild men were to be excused. But these daily horrors ot which we read! Well, it looks. Indeed as though reason were dethroned and men were Impelled against their own instincts to do things that make a world groan and shudder. Per haps that destiny that shapes our ends sits the saddle, and in the bright light that will come after the smoke has cleared away will reveal the why. Men of the savage tribes Who knew the primal law. Of eye for eye and tooth for tooth, Would blush to take a part In such a war as this. To Save Cotton Prices. Fully three hundred prominent citizens of the State, cotton growers, manufacturers, bankers and other business men. spent Tuesday In Rep resentatives Hall ot the State House In conference with Governor Craig, acting as chairman, considering es pecially the cotton situation and means of averting the sacrifice of any part of the crop on account of the war conditions in Europe. Resolutions were adopted and there will be something doing. A New Profession. The fitting of corsets having be come an art, "corsetierlng" may be now classed among the professions. Miss G. C.

Colonel Bob Sloan Says The Hup Still Makes Good. . . , ' When Colonel Bob Sloan took the agency for the Hupmoblle it wasn't very well known but ft soon made Itself known. Now you can count all kinds of Hups going by when the rid ers are out. Mr. Sloan since organ izing the R. G. Sloan Motor Co. and opening up roomy offices and show rooms on Sycamore and Davie streets has been kept busy. He finds now and then a man who wonders about the war but he finds more who say the United 8tates Is going to be the most prosperous country under the sun, because of the war. Now and then a man wonders if we will get In the mess but Mr. Sloan says he finds in the several counties Wher he sells the Hup that moBt people are feeling pretty certain that Wil son will keep us out of trouble, and that times will be better In the United States than ever before. Con sequently he Is selling cars, and no better business barometor can be found. When men are not afraid to trust their country; when they feel certain that we are not going to get mixed up, then the picture of unpre cedented prosperity for America ap pears before the vision. And Pros perity la what we are now enjoying and what we will enjoy ten fold. Printer Suicide. Mr. J. W. Glenn, a printer, fore man In the Barrett Printery at Wil son committed suicide last Saturday. Cause unknown. Glenn was a con sistent church member, a member of the choir but had been despondent for some time and finally made the leap Into the dark. These despond ent people could get over their hor rors If they only would break away. When you see a man despondent the thing to do is to talk him out of it. No use to allow a man to commit sui cide if there is nothing but despond ency around. . ' DONT DO IT. Don't Send Away For Anything Toil Can Buy At Home.
