a what tobacco was going to
is the offerings heretofore
. ; .,' heen of an inferior grade,
... i when there was a pile of bet-
r t.iliacco offered it was in small
, mtities that none really cared
r . 1 1 1 o r with it. But this week
siles have consisted largely of
: !.;:! tock and the buyers have
. 't'li anxious for it, with the
, - !i i 1 nit tobacco is selling very
: . ;r as well as it did last season,
, tillering the difference in the
aiiiy. .This Qrop is nothing
;:!. so good in quality as the past
.;: 1 the farmer should take this
:::;,) consideration when he com
; ues prices.
lint there is one thing absolute
ly certain, and that is you are
netting just as much in Roxboro
us you will get anywhere, and it
is positively silly to waste time
and spend money in hauling to
any other market. All of the
large companies are represented
by individual buyers here vho
make their living buying tobacco,
and unless they buy your tobacco
their living will be hard, then df
course you know tliey wilKpg
you just as much as" you could gel
un any other market. .
The crop is short this year and
you are not going to have as much
money as you had last year, and
one of the very first things you
want to realize is, that you must
economize. How better than to
cut out all of this needless expense
in going off to other markets.
Sell your tobacco in Roxboro, we
have four warehouses eclual to
any in the country, all manned by
gentlemen whom you know, and
they will look out for your inter
ests. Stick to them this year as
you never did before and you and
the warehousemen will all feel
better and be better off - in every
way for so doing.

Big Cotton Pool a Success.
The movement to form a big
pool of one hundred and fifty mil
lion dollars ($150,000,000) to loan
on cotton warehouse receipts has
now been established. The St.
Louis and New York bankers have
been particularly active inproniot-;
promoters; deserve the .thanks of
the country and the South in par
ticular. Our exports to foreign
countries have been Cut nearly in
half, so it would have thrown this
country into a period of industrial
and financial- depression, to have
had the purchasing power of the
South so fatally crippled, as would
have resulted from its inability to
realize on the unsold crop, as more
than half our cotton is sold abroad,
and that market is largely destroy
ed by the. European War.
D. A. Tomkins
The death of D. A. Tomkins of
of Charlotte removes one of the
best men in the state. He Had
devoted his life to the upbuilding
of North Carolina and it was due
to. his genius largely that Char-,
lotte has become the town it is.
Mr. Tomkins possessed political
courage at a time when it was al
most a crime to hold views differ-
ent from those of the politicians,
and he and the observer, which
he and the Tate J. P. Caldwell
founded,' blazed the way for hon
est thinking. North Carolina
owes much to Mr. Tompkins, and
the state could ill afford to lose
him. -A man of high cha'rao-i
ter and positive views, he had the
courage at all times to give them
to the public without fear. He
has left a worthy heritage to his
adopted state. Raleigh Times.

gy of Messrs. vJeo H. Carvei Secy.
C..C. Cunningham, Bijl.v Cham
bers, Poor; Richard and others; and
especially to lr.Carvei whq'pu t

whole County) come together and
make1 the 1915 Fair a record break
er , a greater success buv
and fix up a permanent Institution
which, will benefit the whole Coun
ty as well as tlje town of Roxboro.
