' o P Yesterday morning there was a r" busy scene presented .here, the streets Q being filled with wagons and auto- p mobilest some loaded with tobacco, others bringing in farmers who Want- h .ed to see how tobacco was going to . sell. ' r The first sale was at the. Hycoi ^ where more "than forty six thousand ' ^ pounds was disposed oT, the average l n being a little better than $19.00 per .y jw hundred, the highest pile selling for f W Uim- j r The second sale at the Independ- r ent Warehouse was hIsc a groat sue- gl cess, more thin thirty thousand pounds were disposed of, the average p being almost exactly that at the s Hyco, a little the rise of $19.00 per rj hundred. c" It was one of the most satisfactory (| sales for the day we have ever seen, only one tag being tucked as far as j( we could learn, and considering the f quality the prices were unusually e . good. The tobacco offered was very. common and in a soggy condition. e But it was an evidence that the Rox- e boro market is going to be right in 9 the front as to-HIGH prices. -, u (The third auction warehouse, the j. Planters, will open on Tuesday Oct. a 2nd, and being manned by popular, gl ^ competent men will surely get its w . share of the business. If you are 3 looking for competition, you will find t( It on this market, for they are all e hard at work trying to push every g. pile to the very last Dollar. f, f( DIM LIGHTS. J Several of our customers have Ve- " cently complained to us that their Ifghta were dim. Upon investigation . We found that in nearly every case 11 " the lamnct whirh nsi?? were either what i? known as a re-l filled lamp or a lamp of improper!! - volthsre. It is? very poor economy toll' bay . lamps of a lower price than thej standard. All standard lamps sell at, the same price. A refilled lamp is J one that has originally burned out4 from which the'ton is taken and new j ^ wires inserted.

S. HARVEY, JR., IS MADE COMMANDER. At the stated conclave of Dove Commandery No. 7, Knights Templar, in it$ asylum in the Masonic Temple last night, Eminent Ben W. Beach closed a busy and successful year as commander, giving a briefreview of his stewardship and of the development of - this Masonic body] during the past year. Thereafter thej commandery elected its officers Br the efiiiBiiije year, selecting J. Shields Harvey, who had just closed his year as captain general as eminent com-' mander for the ensuing year. The full roster of officers was then elect-! ed and then they were installed, Right Eminent W. C. Wooding, grand junior warden of the Grand commas dery of Virginia, presiding. Owing to the removal ~ifrom. the State of the generalissimo, the next ranking officer, the captain general, was the logical man for advancement to the commndershio.

Md., Sept. 23.?While his nurse had left the room for a few minutes early this morning, Dr. John Alexander Williams, Greensboro, K. j C., a patient at a private sanitarium at 1039 Xorth Calvert street, slashed an artery in his leg and bled to death before the nurse returned. Fhen the nurse, Miss Mary Steigle man, returned, she found Dr. Williams 'lying: in a pool of blood and still bleeding: freely from a deep gash in his right leg. She summoned" Dr. Ernest S. Cross, who pronounced the man dead. I After opening 4he artery, Dr. Wil-J liams had closed t?ie razor with which the gash had been made, and had cftHMully placed it beside him on the bed. He had then folded his hands and calmly waited for death. He had been a patient at the sanitarium since {July 30, suffering with nervous troubles. ' Horn Tn Uerkon County.

W. Connor denied the per- al manent restraining order nought by jr the tobacco growers co-operative C( marketing association against cer- i0 tain of its members to enjoin themjia from 'allowing their non-member ten- y, ants to sell their tobacco save through r the association and also held that qfi where the crop was covered by a lien or mortgage this Uen or mortgage took prio? claim over the*"?ss6ciation yj contract. ft The specific case in question was r that of the co-operative association h, against J. W. T. Easofi. The plaintiff r sought a permanent injunction where- ^ hy the defendant would be held responsible to the association for the j) tobacco raised on hi? land which he ^ had rented to tenant and whereby the five cents -a-pound penalty could be collected for tobacco which the ^ tenant, not a member of the associa- ^ tion, sold on the open market. Tenant Can Sell. ^ The list of the court's ruling in dissolving the temporary injunction and denying a permanent restrain- ai ing order was, it is explained, that r< where a landlord, who is a member ^ of the co-operative association, makes a valid binding lease for money rent and the tenant is not a member of ? the association, the tenant can sell ^ his tobacco on the open market and the landlord is net subject to a restraining order. A number of similar cases where the. question of landlord and tenant was the issue were also J tried yesterday and settled the -same way, while still another batch is understood to be for the court today. The other specific case yesterday C' in which the mortgage or lien Was involved was that of the co-operative j * association against W. H. Brannan.l Here the court held that the mort-J ^ gage or lienee had prior claim and,' that the crop should he turned over' to them. A report, however, is to; be made to the court upon the amount * of tobacco and its disposition. The, ruling in both those cases is declared; to have great significance and the; hearing yesterday was followed with.bi greatest interest. el Xot only were permanent restrain-;tl ing orders denied the association, but Judge Connor issued an order pro-' n* hibiting the association from charg- G trig a. member landlord the five cents !oi a pound penalty for tobacco, which jt< his non-member tenants sold on the R open market. Judge Connor's ruling | was in line with the decision handed jC down by Judge Hcrton in Greenville C last week. I 0 ' cl TO MY FRIENDS.
