THE MARKET FOR YOU-
Tobacco is Selling for Good Prices in
Roxboro, and We Believe That
Now is the Time to Sell.
We have seen some good wrap
pers sell for $45 per hundred on
this market during the past week,
land prices ,on all grades vpere verv
! satisfactory.
I Ever since the market opened up
1 after the holidays general good
! feeling has prevailed among the
farmers, warehousemen andbuyerr
j The. advance over the prices that
prevailed awkiie back is quite gratn'
I ifying, and the general tone of the
i market is as good aj you will findj
j anywhere, , ,
j It does ui good to chronicle the
fact that the Roxboro tobacco mar
i ket fully holds her own, and it the
peer of any of the -surrounding
market. It is truly the market for
!the Person county farmers--our
I home market. Why patronize other
markets when you can get just as
Jmucb money here? Besides this, it
'shows commendable county pride
toltick to the Roxboro market.
Theie is no better time to flel
j than when prices are good. We be-
lieve that it will be to tke interest
of the farmer to market their to
bacco during this month and next.
If we did not think so,-, most as
auredly we weuld not advise it
1 The warehousemen will treat jou
right every time,, and they leave
n stcne unturned to get:youey:
cent that their tobacco will bring.
Thev know that when thev can
get good prices tor you taat it aaas
to the reputation of their ware-
houses.
Buyers on this market are not
the kind of men that want some
thh g for nothing. They are just
see ; ou satisfied and happy . over
your sales, and they will, and al
i ways do, pay the very top of the
market for all grades. A finer set
of gentlemen would be hard to mee1
up with in many a day'i journey,
and the same thing can be said of
the warehousemen.
Person county farmer, or if you
aie farmer living in any of the
sorroundirig ceuntici, and your eye
falls on this article. The CoURiia
desires to extend to you a cordial
welcome to- become patron o
this market We want to see you
come driviog in with a load, for we
believe that you will be pleased.
Keep your eye on the Roxboro
tobacco market, and you'll not get
lei t on - pi ices.

JUDGE COOK'S DECISIUJI.
Decides That Section 349 'Applies
On'y to the Four Counties Men-
' tioned in the Caption but the Mat
ter Goes to the Supreme Court. '
Last week wemade mention of
the fact' that Mr: Jobji G. Patten-
son, f Roxboro' was bound over
to court at Durham on ihe charge,
of shipping wbiskey into thkt city.
The cases against . Mr. Patterson
were argtied before Judge Cook : on
last;Thursday. r At that night's
ses'sion of the courty the Judge took
the ground that Section 349 of the
new laws was intended for, the
four counties mentioned in the cap
tion, Catarrus, Gaton, j Mitchell
and Clereland and did not apply
to the entire-State.
This construction of the law by
Judge Cok cleared Mr, Patterson,
arid the,cases were dismissed. ;.: . "
It is understood; that the State
will carry the natter : to; the Su
preme Court, in order to gef the
opinion of that coui t as to the true
meaning of the law. .
Recentlyjustice Barbee, of Wake
county, decided that the place of
delivery wars-the place of . sale, but
Judge Cook's interpretation of the
act knocks out Justice Barbee s de
cision; According to J iidge Cook,
he- law cannot be - enforced vexcept
