' I A constant stream of carta and wagons began to pour into Kinston yesterday ) morning, which continued through the) afternoon and night, and this morning there was no abatement up to the hour of commencing the sales. Farmers were, here from every neighborhood . in this section, some who did not have tobacco on . the sales,; but came to verify state' menjta ; they had heard .concerning the advantages of ., the Kinston , tobacco market, and without exception they were more than satisfied with the prices obtained on the market. The Imperial entered the market yes terday and was strictly in evidence to day, and though not heavy buyers yet, on account of not having completed their storage house, they frequently engaged in quick, snappy warfare with the Ameri can Tobacco Co.. whenever aome of the higher gradea were offered, Mr. A.

Sheford Clark, who lives on Sheriff Dal Wootsn's farm, brought a load of to bacco here yesterday which weighed 826 pounds and was an average of his to bacco, and for which he got an average of 20.10 per hundred pounds, including sand lugs. Mr. J. B.

The tobacco in his section, he says, is about all cured now, though a few farmers are not quite through. Mr. Turner added that if they did not get through in two weeks they would not have any tobacco, for the worms, now In great numbers, are increasing. "The next time a man wants to raise tobacco for me," said Mr. J, W.Lane of Ft. Barnwell, who was here yesterday, " I am not going to ask him how much he can get from the acre, or how well he can set ont the plants, or even how well he can cure, but I am going to ' ask him how well he can succor the plants." This succoring, as Mr. Dane well put It, does cover a multitude oi lanits wmcn may be peculiar to any tobacco gro wer, and When attended to in a systematic ray makes the tobacco weigh more and therefore brings to the farmer more money.
