Two Ilandred Thousand Pounds Sold Today. Mr. W. C. Bratchsr, of Durham, who Is with the American Tobacco Co., passed through Kinston lastevenlng on his way home from looking over Eastern Car olina, and in discussing tobacco sales, advised strongly against opening safes, as they work against ths farmer, ths buyer, and the warehousemen, and every body concerned. He cited the opening of the Dunn market as an instance of what great disadvantage It Is to the people concerned. He says the warehouses were full of tobacco and correspondingly crowded with people, which retarded the ales so badly that they bad to have a pen tnads for the buyers end auctioneers so that they could conduct,, ths sales. The floors were full ' of tobacco and people trampled it so that ,, it depreciated in value from one to two cents cm low grades and the higher grades suffered worse. ' Farmsrs will do well to make a note of this and avoid a repetition, because everybody: knows that what . was true of Dunn was even worse in Kinston at tbe opening sales. Tobacco that started out to sell well was noticed by a good many to have fallen off In price after it bad been abused as oFfSNSSMSluSC ; . rHA K SCHOOSfS SSIllO V; i t CAPTAIN BOSEHILL'S RACE FOR MARCUS ISLAND.

The Japanese, however, contend that they have held MAfoas inland ninterroDtedly for nearly a quarter of a century, and have despatched a warship thither. Captain Rosehill got away from Honolulu some time in advance of the aailinf of the Japanese vessel from lokohama, and therefore ought to prove the victor in this novel race.

Two bun died thousand pounds of tbe golden pro duct was handled on the six warehouse floors today and not one word of dissat isfaction did we hear as to prices. Farmers who are judges of tobacco, and who keep in mind ths relative prices of tobacco from year to year say that prices ranged higher than ever before, and Dr. C. L. Prldgen and Mr. F. 0.

Monday's sales heretofore nave not been patronised as they should have been and we think this Is a good suggestion and wonld advise that farmers la this Immediate vicinity think of and try it. The Free Press has the interests of Kins ton and this vicinity sincerely at heart and anything that it does Is Intended to be for the best interests of ths people and hopes to be a great help , to ths market and the farmers who bring their produce here. Kinston is squlpped to handle a tremendous ' amount of. tobacco this year and fs going to do It Good prices prevail now and the indications are that they will continue and the farmer who takes time to prepare his tobacco , tor market will very likely get ths best re sults, I in the twenties!
