Humored that Bids for Con struction Will He Opened January Fifth MEANS MUCH TO DISTRICT Practically All Business From This Section Could Use the Port, and Com mercial Harbor of Import ance Would Be Created According to a report which reach ed here last night, hid for the con- struction of the proposed big harbor of refuge at Cape Lookout will be opened on January 5. The bids are asked to be submitted on the entire, project and on as much of the work , as can be accomplished with the ap propriation now available, $1,400,000. ' It is said that in the call for bids, contractors who would transport the stone to the cape by means of barges are d.scouraged. It ,s known that the government cnj;ini'fi ociievtr unit ti coaling u to be located at Lookout, should have a railroad terminus, and they want a ....... . line built to the point. If the con- tract far the building of the massive seawall is awarded early in January, not all it is not at all unlikely that work on a railroad extension to the cape will be commenced soon afterwards. It is estimated that it would take the Nor folk Southern from six to eight ! month to build from its present, ter- I minus to the cape, about i!0 miles, more or less. I The immense breakwater at Look out will be not quite two miles in length and will cost between three and four million dollars. It will be the biggest engineering 'feat ever at-' tempted on the South Atlantic coast. Climatic conditions have a great deal to do with such construction, how ever, and in this the builders will be favored. In erecting some of the. world's great lighthouses from the L open sea or small islands, me con-, dructors freiiiently have been able to work only a month or possibly six weeks a year on the actual construe-1 tion, taking advantage, when on an ill shore, of a calm day once in a j while. At Lookout, however, exceed-1 ingly rough water and cold wind.i ire rare, and the work can be carried on durjng the greater portion of the year. Local business interests will be irreiitlv interested in the rumor, seem ingly reliably based, that the work on the Lookout seawall is to be com menced soon. As for ports, Kinston now depends upon several, but when f ape Lookout becomes the great ref- ...w.

Writing to his wife, Hurst says, "Don't fret over me. I have five wounds, but I am a lucky chap to he here to tell the tale, for if the shell which hit me in the chest had explod ed a bit lower I should have been killed outright.

"On Wednesday they removed us to the far side of a haystack out of their line of fire, so we could not get hit, but one of the British shells ex ploded near us, and of course, I got hit.

The official figures of the S1",s Slnee September 1, given out today, were 14,998,000. ' This is an average well in excess of a million pounds a week and two hundred thou-. ' sand a sales day. Breaks continue big, and quality of the weed marketed has improved con siderably during November. The planters are gratified over the amazingly good prices, which have increa8ed th quallty during the past few weeks.' Satisfaction is gen eral throughout the section tributary to the market. Kinston has drawn from a -little larger territory than urtual this reason, although it has had none of the importations from dis tant parts that swell the sales on oth er big markets. Several smaller markets in the immediate vicinity which have attempted in recent years . to compete with this city have found it almrfst impossible to keep going because of the superior prices paid here. Improvement of roads and oth er factors have also contributed to the local market's great success. The county authorities realize the need for good highways connecting the outlying country with Kinston, and that the roads plans of the com missioners about to retire will be con tinued by their successors is the big gest thing tending to a continuance in future years of the present condi tion of the tobacco market that can lie suggested.
