mm thai the bulk of Um now ImM to Miihl to m The immtiI lapiMtlon is that Um pries paid on Lhia market la aa high aa M any other market to thia ataU and the loweet that has baa* paid to every una la aaUUad to Ma lyMia aa to tha reasoa far Um law price, There la aa doubt about tbt, fact thai a butnpar crop baa ban pm tbia yaar. Tba diatiurbaaoa to China la given aa oaa of Um mate caaaaa for tha drop to tba priea. Tba large amount produced la evidently Um : greatest reaaon for Um dec Una to There la sore tobacco selling far one and two cento Um poand than ever before. Common lugs that have' brought five and six and eight eanta In former years are selling for am and two coats. The prevailing price among faramra la thia section far stripping and tying tobacco after it la cured Is |1.60 par hundred, thus ■mch tohicfo Is mIIinc for tost It coats to get it stripped. One farmer aold a barn for seven dollars, low grade tobacco of oourse, and this price was estimated to bs leea than the wood coat that was aaad to cure It This of coarse was an exception. Other farmers who brought real good tobacco got prices of twenty, twenty - flv% and thirty cents and want away thinking that they bad made goad, sstos. Good tobtcco, thftt Is tobttoi that is ordinarily classed as fins, that which has good body and leaf free from defects with good bright color, la in ready demand, but tha amount of this kind of tobacco, when compared with the whole amount grown, Is smalL The rapid change in the customs of the farmers la the cotton grow ing sections, especially la Georgia, due to the uncertainty of Um cotton crop, has turned whole sections of country to growing tobacco where once cotton was groaft. Evidently more tobacco can be produced than the market demands, and it now ap pears that this has been,done this year. THE PRICE OF TOBACCO TV* Winston Sentinel qgoUi E. W. McFarland. supervisor of sales on Um Winston tobacco market, a* saying that Um reason low grades of tobacco are selling low is that so much of thii kind of tobacco ia pro duced that dealers and manufactur . era do not want it at any price. The same paper quotes R. W. Pou, county agent for Forsfth. as saying that the large quantity of tobacco that sold on the Winston market for live cents would be worth mora as ■ fertiliser on land. He goes on to reason that tobacco has a large amount of ammonia and potaah and ia more valuable, pound for pound, than stable manure for enriching land. The Winston papers quote farmers aa saying they will no lon ger strip and tie up the low grades, but spread it on land The Burt Mount Airy theatre goers and all who enjoy a good coaeett have a treat in store for them with the coming of The Evelyn Burt Concert company which ia scheduled to ap pear here the evening at October M. lids to the first of a series si da straight. Just now w* hav« in mliul than by way of the auditor who U suppoaed to be an expert In such matter*. But there must bo a limit to the amount that should bo paid tfl auditor*. Ws hav* not choohod up on th* amount that ha* bom paid to audi tors in this county in meant months, but wo hav* it in mind that enough has boon paid out to rmberraa* any siblo for thoa* auditor*. Wo roeall that horo in our own city wo hav* bad auditors, two at a timo, for moatiu at a timo in rooont months. In th< county wo are now employing twe auditors, and all th* summer ami fall they hare boon chocking up snC doing what is supposed to b* neces sary to keep the public accounts aa they should bo kept. If one of these big icorporatioM xuch as ws have all about in Um county should pay out as much foi auditors as the town and comity ti paying out it would sound like I joke. Certainly It appears that oui )>iAines» men who have influence it ounty and town matters should fine a way to get the books kept withou' an auditor expense that is embarrass ing to any party or sot of men wh< are responsible for th* public chest.
