Of course, there is just naturdlfy
bound to bo some dissatisfaction with
:wery new. move but it is wohdeljfui
:he way the co-operative farmers ire
taking to the new move for selling tobadcc.
Ordinarily, it wou)<l net . be
auite sc hard . far the co-opera^Ve
man to stand by his contract, but this
reason tobaco is selling unusually
well and tlJc farmer who does not
lock very far ahead might'think: he
would have alone just As well to have
told his crop oh the open market, hot
your attention Is called. te- the fact
[hat the co-cperative move is for. five
years and next year prices may not
be so attractive.
That tits is_a heavy crop is not
disputed, and that it is bringing fancy
prices "is likewise admitted. There
must be a reason, what is it? Some
lay it is due to the new movement
tar handling the crop. We do not
enow what the cause, hut we are evwlastingly
thankful for it, and trust
>ur farmers will be wise, pay their
lebts. spend their money frugally and
jet on top. , ,'

jlhdcpcndrrt ' Farmers are Selling
Rapid'v and Carrying Home
I Piles of Money.
I. During the past weak tHj independent
farmers have sold on the 1
Rojboro, market nearly, half a mil-,
Hon pounds of tobacco, with an-av-'
: erase for the entire week of nearly
ua.. >v einesday the sales at
the New; Hyco were nearly 100,000
pounds at an average of $35.85 for
everything on the floor. .
We have Heard many times that we j
woul3 nev'er see tobacco sell again
like it did in 1919,. but sales these
days remind one very much of these
I days, and when you see a farmer get
i his check fdr his load you see a hapi
py man. The crop of 1921 was very
poor, and consequently tHi price was
j low?with a short crop of poor tobacco
and low prices it does not take
much figuring to see in what condition
<the tobacco farmer was at the
close of the season, but this year he
is going to be his own man, and can
laugh at a scoffing world.
It is no unusual thing for a farm-,
| er to average more tbsn $50.00 per
hundred for his tobacco on the floor
here. When a farmer brings in a I
load of a thousand or more pounds
and receives a check for better than '
$500.00 you know he is satisfied, ani
that is wljst many are doing on this

SCHOOL NOTKS.
In all these years we haye never
had such a great crowd of teachers
i-at any session ^as we had at the]
[Teachers' AssMftgpau last Saturday..
ml*. tooeH.-rt^ In. th? :
| county, ana-or tpis number only 7 or
8 were absent. Great interest and enthusiasm
were manifested on the part
of all, and we feel that great work
is being done in' the schools of I'cr-r'
son County. . '!
The schools feel that a good way.
.to impress patriotism and at the same
time studv History, and especially
English) is to take up the life of one;
of the soldier boys of the lVorld War1
in each community. So all the children
are gathering data to put into
this sketch. When the life of every
soldier has been written we hope to
i Have all published, and thus keep a i
[record of our brave boy&. ,
| , Also we take great pride in studying
Person County from the industrial
point of view, especially it ho farm.'
its resources, its improvements, its |
fine stock, improved machinery, new
ways of cultivating the land etc.
Next Wednesday, October 25th is
j School Day at the American Legion
[Festival and-Fair, and?we^ want all
I the schools to do their best to have
100 per cent of their enrollment pres-j
: ent on tHat day. I am sure all will be
I paid highly" for attending. Remember j
the prizes offered to the schools.

I ordered away from the house but entered,
when Ramsey backed to the
rear of the room, picked up his gun I
and blew tlis top of Harris' head off J
When the officers went ttf arrest him!
Ramsey made no attempt to escape,
bnt told the officers he was the man I
tfrey_were looking for, as he had shot
Harris.
The case will be Heard today by the
