TOBACCO MARKET
OPENS TUESDAY
EVERYTHING READY AT AUC>
v TION HOUSES
The Old Reliable Hyco and the New
Independent Warehouses Solicits
, Your Business.
On next Tuesday morning, September
25th, the tobacco market will
.open for' auction sales in Roxhoro.
"The majority of -the farmers ' are
through curing and while - there is
rarely a heavy, sale on the first day
. quite a number of farmers will be on
hand, with a load to test the market,
to see how if is going to start off.
Every- indication is that tpbacco
is going to sell ijor satisfactory
prices this season, especially have|
the nfedium grades on. the eastern
markets been bringing sajtisfaetpry
prices. The crop in this County is
PF: going to eh a heavy crop, with probably
fewer wrappers than usual, but
with good, w&xey grades, and. these
seem to be just what the . large companies
are wanting.
In any event you may rest assured
no mnrket will pay you more for the
same grades than jrou will get right
here at home. Do not be deceived by
' ' promises, but' stick to your home
market and in the end you will be
the gainer.
There will be two houses here selling
the old auction way?the ftyco,
run by Mess. W. T. Pass & Company,
and the new Independent, run by the
Independent Warehouse Co. Everybody
knows who runs the Hyeo?
Tobe Pass is a household 'word in
thia and adjoining counties, and his
friends will.sell with him regardless
of who or how tobacco is sold. .Ho
says he has never had a stronger
-force with him than he has secured
this season, and he wants your business.
? '
The Independent is run by well
the oldest And best warehousemen fn
the country, is connected with this
that of itaalf is a <rnai?ontoo
that your tobacco will not be overlooked
when placed on the Independent
floor. The other men associated
with him are men of lonK tobacco
experience and will be a great help
to him.
Altogether, the Roxboro market is
in great shape and we look for one
of the best tobacco seasons we have
had in many years.
- NOTICE, SALE WITHDRAWN.
The trustee's sale of the Roxboro
Roller Mills has been withdrawn, and
will not take'place as advertised.

GREATEST FIGHTER!
1CK DEMPSEY KNOCKS OUT
FIRPO IN SECOND ROUND*
list' Firpo Knocks Dempsey Through
the Ropes But Lacks Defense to
Stand up Against Blows.
New York, Sept. 15.?(By The Asciated
Press.)?Jack Demnsey and
lise Angel Firpo fought last night
r the heavyweight crown of the"
orld as two cave men in pre-historic t
lys might have battled on the edge [
a cliff?and Firpo lost;
But he lost like a maii, fighting to
e" last agonizing gasp?more glorus
in defeat than ever he had been
victory.
Knocked out ill three minutes and
' seconds of the most furious fight-g
ever recorded in ring history in
hich he was floored seven times J
., .lionminn !
ashing clean through the ropes af-|
r battering Jiim to'his kneei, the!
urdy son of the Argentine still j
izes with determined eyes -on the
own which Dempsey barely saved:
r a right upper cut which stretched
irpo flat on his back.
"In a year 1*11 be back again," he
iclared when, lifted to his feet by
le man who floored him, he had
aggered uncertainly to his dressg
room.
-Losing fighters have made thnt
atement before and been laughed
r*'fbr their pains but not so with
uis. A vast majority of the 85.000
ho witnessed the battle believed
ji and Tex Rickard, the man who |
jt on the fight declared he was
;ady to stage another Firpo-Demp-'
sy battle next summer, or match
ic Argentine against Harry Wills, J
te hard hitting negro who has been
ching for a fight with Dempsey.
Firpo Is Not Through
"Firpo is not done for yet," as-'
srted Rickard- "He will be heard,
om again. He Is a Mgv stroisi^
jung fellow and a terrific fighter."
