M. OfflciaUy. the Wlnston-6alem leaf tobacco market will open for busi ness again nert Monday morning, but It is not expected that there will be anything for the market to do iu the vay of selling tobacco for sever al weeks yet , Very few of the buyers are ready to begin (buying and there has been a . small quantity of tobacco cured thus far. Several growers are known to have cured some primings, but not enough to justify a trip to market yet awhile. ' . v :-' - The South Carolina markets are now. In full swing and reports from those markets are to the effect that the crop Is mighty common, but selling at least five cents higher , than last (, year's prices. This is Indeed good news, as delivery by the payment of margins,' the South Carolina market prices are generally) a, barometer by which the year's prices are gauged, although it is an entirely different tyje of tobac co as produced in the Piedmont sec tion. Our growers will nodoubt re ceive good prices this year for every thing that has any color to It, The quality, of the crop In this sec tion is yet to be determined. The weather for the next tew weeks will either make a crop of good or poor quality. ' At this time the crop is not up to the average, owing to the ex cessive rains. Everybody connected with the Win ston market is very optimistic how ever, and the concensus of opinion seems to be that the market is going to have a good year of it with prices better than they- were for the 1913 crop. , 'v ' WALKERTOWN CANNINTJ " CLUB HOLDS MEETING Walkertown, Aug. 10.

' ' At the request of the Danish for eign office, the terms of the. conven tion are to be considered confidential until both governments agree to have them announced.

A mam was xnosefng in the bottom and Mr. Benny hap pened along, and knowing; that the place was known as an old IndlaA , burying ground, decided to do some investigating to the furronra behind th plow. While folkxsdng in the furrow Mr. Penny noticed someCUng round that had been 'turned up by -the plow and upon investlgatkm die covered the skull of a man. - FVapther- lnvestlgatlon disclosed the tact that: be had discovered an Indian grave,; because rocks with which the Indiana always covered their dead wwWound tn a bed about eighteen Inches-thick.; Mr. Penny removed tha rocks and' found all of the skeleton of a man; with the exception of the feet. The! bones are In a good state of pceserV ration, although they have been dts-i colored by the earth. The teeth werei all in their places and were perfect-- ljr sound. A local dentist says that! the mouth of the man contained -a1 tooth on each side more than the, Americana of today have. The teeth were considerably worn and showed that they fitted perfectly even. All evidences point to the fact that the skeleton is that of an Indian chief, because in the-grave-were found three shelf ehar-ma which, were wonv only by the chiefs of the tribes. K tomahawk or a design not usnauy found in this country was taken out) of the grave. Mr. Penny dug out the skeleton with his hands without the aid of a pick or shovel. He says that he feels sure the feat are buried a little deeper than he was able to dig with bis hands and that he is going back to try to find them.
