The State Department of Agricul ture, through its crop reporting ser vice estimated the season’s average price for tobacco will be $12.21 per hundredweight, in announcing Decem ber sales and average prices. This figure compares with the sea son’s average price of $8.93 on the 1931 crop. The report pointed out the greater portion of the 1932 crop had been sold and New Bright Belt markets, the largest in the state, al ready had closed. ; Asserting sa’es in 1932 were only I f)3 per cent of the volume for the j previous year, the statement declared ; “There are ample grounds for justi- fiying the $12.21 season’s average : price.” i The December average State price j was $11.02 on 27,185,772 pounds sold as compared with 72,289,385 pounds ja year ago, averaging $G.74 per hun- i ’ren. Season’s sales through Decem ber totaled 268,403,318 pounds, com pared with 422,631,212 in 1931. The Old Bright belt of which the Aberdeen market is a part, led in De cember sales, with 15,312,764 pounds auctioned at an average of $10.43 compared wits sales of 31,970,957 pounds in December, 1931, at .$6.38. New Bright belt sales last month 'totaled only 7,109,924 pounds, bring ing an average of $11.64 per hun dred. This was less than a fourth of the 31,5.55,752 pounds sold in Decem ber, 1931, but the price was almost doubled. The 1931 December average was $6.96 per hundred. Asheville’s hurley belt market showed a large gain in average prices, with December’s 1,281,778 ])ounds of tobacco selling for an aveiage of •SI 4.55. In December, 1931, 1,532.205 founds sold at $9.22 per hundred.

The Pilot: A great, great deal has been said i •'.tout them, but very little ever done, I as Mark Twain once remarked about ! the weather. But really why should they exist at all. i The day has come when men whose , c!aim is based largely upon political activity must make way for men who while not able to claim that they j i have held public office, are yet cap- ^ able of coing so; it is time to bring new men into service where the gates have been opened only to profession al politicians. | This policy is one that would rec-1 ognize the fact that some men are worthy of political preferment on other grounds than service rencered “the party.” When men of this type are recognized by the dispensers of ; atronage, a service of considerable value will be rendered the State and Nation, and public service will have been greatly improved. —H.

C. :: What Is A Building and Loan Association? In every progressive community there will be found an institution whose efforts are primarily devoted to its development and upbuilding upon a firm foundation, the objectives of which are home-ownership by the citizenship of the community, and the Inculcation of the thrift habit. Home-ownership and frugality are two vital essentials to progress; to a peaceful and law-abiding people; to a people whose influence remains af ter they have passed on, and in a greater or less degree, contribute to the attainment of that state of perfection to which all strive. It is an institution so operated secondarily as to safeguard the material welfare of those whom compose it, and without profit beyond affording a reasonable and consistent return to those whom make use of its facilities fr»r accumulating and investing savings. It does'not gamble or take chances for the purpose of enlarging its profit in excess of that received from its investments. Its investments are secured by first liens on land and buildings, conservatively appraised and owned by its members. The basis of all value is land. Its very nature forbids ostentatious operation. It does not discriminate as to whom shall compose its membership. It is strictly a co-operative institution; one in which each member shares alike and no favors extended. Only the officer whose re sponsibility it is to collect and disburse it s funds is compensated for services rendered, and each official who occupies a position of responsibility is amply bonded. This institution in your community merits both your material and moral support, for it offers a plan for conveniently accumulating your savings, however small, or in vesting accumulated savings, and in such a way as they will do the greatest individual as well as common good—a plan offered by no other institution and vdth an unques tioned degree of safety, and a reasonable and regular return on the investment.
