A Busy Town
Hi
Hackney
It was our pleasure to spend a few
hours in the city of Rocky Mount
Tuesday, and besides visiting our
friends at their places of business
we journeyed out to "tobacco
town," where we saw thousands of
pounds of the golden weed on the
floors of the various warehouses,
ready to be sold to the highest bid
der for cash. We saw hundreds or
prosperous looking farmers chatting
with each other, all seemingly in the
best kind of humor. Each wore
some kind of a smile on his face.
But back to the weed. Some of this
tobaeco was raised in Halifax county.
Lots of it in Martin, possibly some
in Bertie. All of it was raised in
this section of the State. Rocky
Mount certainly has the accommo
dations and facilities for handling
the crop of this section. Her ware
housemen are alert, courteous and
genial. They are making money
for themselves. Presently we come
to what we want to say. It's a long
way to Rocky Mount from Scotland
Neck. This is a good central point.
This is a logical point for a tobacco
market. Years ago we had one, but
it went down. Some of the same
men who operated them here are now
in the same business at Greeenville
and other towns. There is a reason
for a market to be established here.
Our business houses will take on
more life and we will all feel better
when the farmer markets his crop.
The county will feel strongly finan
cially with a market at Scotland
Neck. Every individual in the county
will be glad to see a market here.
Let us make some plans now for the
next season and have a market for
our crop. The moneyed men in our
midst should wake up to this. It is
your duty to invest -your capital
here. Let's not wait till next sum
mer. New Bern is now on her sec
ond year as a market for leaf tobac
co, and is selling lots of the weed.
Will we be there next season?
The Commonwealth has a Saxon
Roadster for some hustling man or
woman, boy or girl. Newsome Rid
dick sells one of these cars most
every day for $425. By all means
read the ad. on last page.
There is a slight shuffling of politi
cal feet in Washington City. Month
after next week will witness another
session of our beloved Congress,
which will proceed to enact a few
more laws, and donate a few more
trillion dollars of perfectly good
money for theupkeep of our government.

A man can insist that wealth is a
burden and yet break his back hold

One charitable act will occasion
ally cause a man to pat himself on
the back for many months.

tions containing pepsin or other di
gestive ferments for indigestion, as
the more you take the more you will

its functions naturally. Obtainable
