such as a baby born to wealth might

In the lobby, the women paused a
moment, parted the robes, revealing
the most blue-blooded of dogdoni in

UPHOLDS KINSTON' CLAIMS
Kcftilcs Statement of Southern To
bacco Join mil about Winston-Salem's
Leadership and Pro
claims kinston Leader.
'!. Al. Faii-brother, editor of
Everything, a Greensboro paper,
making much of the fact thai in 0
tober h piston was the biggest leaf
tobacco market in the world, having
so.il eight million pounds to five for
Winston-Salem.
I he Southern foliacco Journal, of
Winston Salem, arising to "a point of
order," declares that the Winston-Sa
lem market "is the largest and most
important in the State and is 'likely
to remain so. Winston-Salem is also
next to the. largest bright !ooe leaf
market in the world, and will soon
go to the bead of the list." In ob
jecting to Col. Fail-brother's discus
sion of the comparative importance
of the two markelK, the Journal says:
"Kinsten begins to sell : month or
two earlier than Winston-Salem, and
that market is selling at full capac
ity. From now on Kinston, like all
other bright bell markets, will begin
to dcline in number of pounds sold,
while the ob bt-lt markets will in
crease." All of which Kinston b
hacconisls will concede possibly, al
though there is no denying the fact
that Kinston sells more tobacco grown
in the immediate vicinity of the mar
ket than any other.
Col. Fairhrolher is not sati-lied nor
silenced, however, and in the current
number of "Everything" calls atten
tion to the disparity of the prices paid
on the two markets, and in a col
imiii arti'le proclaims the substan
tially of the Kinston market and
gives it free advertising galore.
