Adovates of the Susan B. Anthony amendment will flock to the session patriotically and opponents "euriostically."' Miss Mary Pidgeon, national field worker for the amendment, will be a speaker, together with several male friends of the cause. The majority of local voters have either expressed disap proval or maintained silence on the issue, ueorge v. t;owpcr, state sen ator, s the only public official who has openly espoused the cause. Despite their fewness, Kinston suf fragists are aggressive. .They de clare that 25,000,000 American wo men will be "liberated" this year or next. When the first woman suffrage convention was called together in New York State 72 years ago there probably were not half a dozen wo men in North Carolina who cared a rap about voting; now there are hun dreds of thousands, they assert, the "antis" countering with the time-honored objections which have to do with cradle-rocking, keeping the kitchen in oder and darning sox. Kinston suffragists say the fair sex 1 will be "emancipated" within 12 j months as sure as the sun rises and sets, anti-suffs. remarking that the sun of rational government will set as surely as they get "turned loose to muss up things." There are known to be numerous objectors among local women. This "third party"' is getting in a say every once in a while. At any rate, the mass meeting will be largely attended. and there will be in teresting remarks made, both during and after the deliberations. Chrpme Enough To Supply World Probably Found in Balkan Country. Belgrade, July 10. Discovery of crome deposit in Serbia large enough to meet the whole world's demands has been announced here. The ex istence of the deposit was first sus pected when grateful natives, who had undergone treatment at the American Red Cross hospital at Priz ren, on the Albanian border, returned with presents which were found to be samples of rich ores. - - Easily visible from Belgrade Mount Avala, one of the historic spots of the region, which, it is now believed, is completely shot through with ,a rich vein of cinnibar and lead. A tunnel five miles long was driven into the hill before the war, and dur ing the Austrian occupation s large quantity of mineral was extracted, When the Austriana left, however, they took away with them essentia) parts of the machinery, which have been restored only within the past month. As soon as the necessary re pairs can be made, the first attempt to reopen this rich producer will be made. Teach French Boys Scouting of American Kind; Camp in Compeigne Area. New York, July 10. The national educational director of the Boy Scouts of America, Lome W. Barclay, by in vitation of the American Committee for Devastated France will establish and be the director-general of a camp school for the boys of the war-de vastated regions.: , ' The school will be in the form of a boys' camp of large size located on the estate of the Marquis de l'Aigle on the Aisne River near Compeigne, on the edge of the greater battlefields, and will be the latest of the many ac tivities of the American committee, of which former United States Am bassador toFrance Myron T. Herrkk is presidents Miss Anne Morgan vice- president and chairman of the execu tive committee, and Mrs. A, M. Dike official director in charge of opera tions in France. Many of the boys who will be in this great camp are orphans whom the war, deprived of all relatives, and there will be others who have not been in school and have been practi- cally without care since the beginning TOBACCONISTS WILL GO TO SISTER BELT FOR 1 920 OPENING Season Near at Hand in South Carolina Eastern Carolina Men to Go There to Buy and Look Over Prospects Eastern Carolina tobacconists will flock to the South Carolina markets in a few days for the opening or the sales season there, scheduled to take place the latter, part of July. At the Palmetto centers the season Will start a full month before the local markets open, and more probably 40 days ear lier, since present indications are that the season here will not begin before September 1. Hundreds of tobaccon ists make the annual pilgrimage to the South Carolina towns to .view the first sales and inform themselves on conditions. Results there are accept ed as indications of what may be ex pected here a few weeks later. Also, much of the South Carolina product is brought to markets in this belt after being purchased by local dealers operating in the Palmetto belt. ! Reports from South Carolina points ' say tne crop there is oi generally good quality, but smaller than last year's. Adverse ; weather conditions resulted in curtailment of the crop early in the growing season.' Large opening sales and high prices are an ticipated. Results in Georgia, where new belt has been opened up, will be watched with much interest here. Weed of fair quality ' was produced there last year. All the northern and western growing sections report the crops well .advanced, but with no prospects Sof breaking records for production. , ' - First curings are being made in this belt. The barns are being fired in a few scattered localities. , The curing work will become more gen eral in the weeks to come until it reaches full tHtabOUlf!Te"last of July or first of August. 7 Many farmers will not have their work at the curing barns out pt the way for a month or six weeks, however. ' . . With prices as high as last year's scores of markets will sell from f 1, 000,000 to $20,000,000 or $25,000,000 worth of tobacco this fall. Local ex- ; ports predict a $15,000,000 business here. Just 10 years ago Kinston sold less than' $650,000 worth of the golden weed, and it was 1912 before the mil- lion-dollar class was reached. The . business at Warsaw, Goldaboro, La Grange, Snow Hill, Rocky Mount, Washington, New Bern, Farmville, Tarboro, Richlands and many other points will run into millions the com ing season, barring unlooked-for price declines, .while at the larger markets, Wilson and Greenville," it will be , enormous. Millions of dollars are being expended in new buildings to care for the 1020 sales, and store the product. Nearly every market in the belt is sharing in the improve- -f 1 ments. , Several new markets in small towns may be opened.
