From Hazlehurst came a report of 400,000 pounds on the floor at market opening time, with a price ranging from 10 to 11 cents. Blackshear reported 250,000 pounds at 12 1-2 cents; Statesboro 200,000 pounds with no price quotation; Waycross, 130,000 pounds at 15 cents; Camilla, 45,000 pounds at 12 cents; Nashville, 350,000 pounds at 12 1-2 cents, and Thomasville, 125,000 pounds at 12 cents. Mr. Talmadge said reports from the remaining markets might bring the average prices higher, but that he did not expect it to reach the 19 1-2 cent average of the first week last year. Regardless of any minor increase, he said "the price is below the cost of production, and there is too much disparity between the prices paid the fanner and paid by the purchaser of the finished tobacco product." The department of agriculture requested all warehousemen to report opening sales and prices to insure a check of the opening day's busi ness. A complete list is not expected to be available for a day or two, however. ~~~~~ INCREASE IS SHOWN IN LEAF TOBACCO EXPORTS WASHINGTON, July 29.?Exports of all types of leaf tobacco from the United States increased approximately seventeen per cent in volume during the six months ending June 30.

E. Strickland, chairman of the Warrenton water committee. Mr. Strickland said that work should be started here within the next 30 days and completed early in the Fall. Plans are for the town to employ an engineer to supervise the building of the filters. "The completion of the plant will be something new for a North Carolina municipality," according to H. E. Miller, chief engineer of the State Board of Health, "in that no well water supply in the State is now being treated for the removal of an excessive amount of iron, although the practice is quite common in other States. The Warrenton water is entirely safe, but the high iron content has caused consumers to resort to springs for their drinking water." The erection of a filtration and areation plant has been under consideration for several months and a number of conferences have been held between the Warrenton Water Co., committee and the Permutit Company. The board of town commissioners on the first Monday 1 meeting in July authorized the Water Company to expend a sum not to exceed $7,500 for the erection of the filtration plant here, provided the State Board of Health | approved the plans of the construction company. Harold R. Skillman, superintendent of the Warrenton Water Co., 1 and W. R. Strickland, chairman of the Water Committee, assured the commissioners that money needed could be realized from earnings of the water company and that no j bond issue or increase in tax rate would be necessary. 22 Counties Have 8-Month Schools RALEIGH, July 30.?"With; the ' voting of a special tax in Hyde I county, there will be twenty-two 1 counties operating an eight months school term on a county-wide basis during 1930- 31," said State Superintendent A. T. Allen today in a statement to the press. During 1928-29 eighteen counties ran all their white schools for eight months. These equities, according to Supt. Allen, were: Camden, Carteret, Currituck, Durham, Edgecombe, Gates, Guilford, Henderson, T nvinit* Hfrt.ilrloMKnrnr Mow TTotlfWOV UCIIU1I , XVXC^XVACJIAMUJL 5 llblf J.u*4iviv*f Northampton, Pamlico, Pasquotank, Transylvania, Vance, Washington and Wilson. During 1929-30 Warren and Greene were added to this list, making twenty counties which operated all their schools for white children eight months or longer. "Supt. Inscoe informs me that three districts in Nash not operating but six months last year will run eight months next year. The voting of the tax in Hyde makes the twenty-second county to signify its willingness to give an eight months term on a county-wide basis to all the children. And in my opinion," continued Supt. Allen, "since the State now participates in the extended term, there is no better time for the schools to begin operating on a county-wide basis." There are a number of counties which have only a few pupils, less than 500, in schools not operating for as long as eight months during the year. Figures for 1928-29 show fViat Halifax had onlv 66 white children not having the opportunity of an eight months term. Cumberland had 105, Scotland 164, Pender 177, Gran ville 207, Hoke 221, Bertie 235, Forsyth 238, Hertford 264, Clay 284, Jones 296, Chowan 338, Tyrrell 366, Anson 413, Rutherford 423, Avery 439, Polk 451, and Dare 468, white children in short term schools. "More than 80 per cent of the white children now have the advantage of an eight months school term. Those children not having this advantage are in the rural schools." CAB ON FIRE Leaping flames from the hood of Chevrolet parked in front of the 11 brary here on Monday afternoon was responsible for the fire company being called out about 6 o'clock.
