LIGHT LEAF BREAKS
HERE THIS WEEK
The warehouses are having light
breaks this week. This is accounted
for by the unseasonable weather for
handling the weed.
The averaee on the Winston mar
ket last month was $7.66. This average
covers all grades of offerings, includ
ing a few primings the first of the
month, as well as trash, scrap and a
very large percentage of damaged) to
bacco. It Is a well known fact that
this crop is exceedingly common in
quality, caused by excessive rains In
the summer and fall. Considering all
these points, we should say that the
average Is a fairly good one. If there
had been no damaged tobacco,
notwitstanding its common quality, It,
would have averaged last month about
nine cents. We noticed in I he breaks
last month thousands of pounds of to-!
bacco that sold at 2 to 4 cents that
would have been from six to eight
cents In a sound condition. We are
safe In saying that the remainder of
the crop will sell with an upward ten
dency. Several breaks last week av
eraged nearly ten cents. We may say
In passing that while this crop is
common in quality It is said by ex
perts to be sweet, and that it will
make a good chew.
Mr. Robert Haskins. who holds an
imnortaut uosition with the Imperial
Tobacco Company with headquarters'
at Richmond, Va., was in Winston last
week on business for his company. Mr.
Haskins says every loose market in
the South had record breakers week
before last. He says the Eastern
North Carolina markets had very
large sales. The crop in that section
Is about 75 per cent. sold. It is averag
ing about ten cents. The bright crop
was not eo seriously injured by the
wet weather as it was in the old belt.
The local Presa claim that th?re,
was more tobacco solo on the Win
ston maTket in October than any
month in the hisiory of the market.
This Is an error. The market has
sold as much as five and a half mil
lion pounds In one month. The reason
why last month was not a record
breaker was because during two
weeks of the month there was com

From -Wednesday's Sentinel
i Perhaps more enthtmlasm was mani
fested by tho peopte In this city laHt
night over the. election returns than
ever before in an off-year. Tho Sen
tinel's complimentary service to the
people brought a large crowd of eager
people
splendid service from the telephone
and carrier systems the result, of the
election in this county was furnished
from all except one township by 9:30
Of course there was much rejoicing
among, the Democrts when they found
that every man on their ticket had
received a safe majority and as the
result of each precinct was announc
ed heartiy cheers rang out, The fli ,
showings made by Broadbay, Betha-
nia, Kernersvllle, Old Town and South
Fork No. 1 surprised even the leaders
of the nartv. The Democrats made
substantial gains in practically every
county precinct. ,
Outside of the county election per
haps more Interest was manifested In
the result of the eighth district. Ow
ing to the fact that some of the coun
ties In this district lie 1n the moun
tain section and there being no Wlrei
there The Sentinel was unable to give
as complete returns as it had wished
nevertheless the report received frorr
Surrv. Wilkes. Iredell, Rowan, Stan
ley, Cabarrus and Wilkeg showed thai
Hackett had a good lead and every
body seemed to think that he was safe
except Col. George Pell, who telephon
ed in all directions for the news from
this district.
The monotonous bulletins from New
York came In a steady flow, but not
until 12 o'clock could the people un
derstand which one of the H's had a
majority. Many Democrat openly ex
pressed their desire that Hearst would
get defeated,-while others were for
Hearst from nrst to last. i
The old war-horses of Democracy in
this county were at the courthouse
last night. Old grey-headed men who
have worked for their party for a half ed plainly that he appreciated it. FV
century stood shoulder to shoulder
with younger Denwcfae'y of the county
and time and again gkre vent to their
feelings of delight which sent a cold
chill through the .remnant of the Re
publican party -tht gathered In their
hall across, the street to hear their
fate. In passing It ia but just to note
the fine work dome by tne young Dem
ocrats in this county during the cam
paign. They have rallied about the
standard of Democracy In an en
thusiastic manner and while they
did not organize they did fine work
for tho ticket An Influential Iem
ocrat expressed the opinion last night
that a young men's Democratic club
should be organized In this county in
order that the younjper element may
be kept together from year to year
and thus be In position, to work more
systematically. Throughout the cam-.
nally Mr, J. J. Norman, who I an ex
pert flgurer, gave out the news that
ever)' candidate was safe, and. the
crowd began to leave, though at 1
o'clock this morning Tom Kleehman
and Col. Pell, together wKh twenty,
five or thirty othors were still figur
ing on the result in the eighth. ,
The Postal furnished quick return
from the country at large, while the
Bell gave satisfactory service from
the country districts. .
When the polls closed the Republi
cans were confident that they had
elected a part of tbeir ticket and quite
a number of them gathered at their
headquarters for a jollification meet"
ing. but when the returns begad to
arrive they found that their gathering
had becejne a meeting of sorrow, a
they blew out their rights and silently
departed to their homes to make the
