TOBACCO MARKET OPENS ON TUESDAY The Aberdeen tobacco market opens another season next Tues day, and we gather from those acquainted with conditions throughout the tobacco-gro^^^ng section of the South, it bids fair to be a most successful one. The basis for optimism was succinct ly put by a buyer for one of the largest companies the other day: “The best tobacco this year is in the Middle Belt, and the best tobacco in the Middle Belt is that in the section from which DOVOU KNOW YOUR STATE?

Hood. A statement received by Hood from the Comptrolier of the Currency showed that the total resources of North Carolina banks, as of June 30, were $420,552,051, as compared with $239,486,497 on June 30, 1933. At the same time it was shown that the number of banks has de creased from 506 banks in 1927 to 250 banks in 1936. Branches, how ever, rose from 73 in 1927 to 94 this year. "In my opinion, this shows a great er centralization of banking and at the same time a weeding out of weak and superflous banks,” Hood said. ‘‘During the spring of 1933, we had 76 cities and towns in North Carolina without banking facilities. We have very few at the present time.” To illustrate what he called an "over-banked” condition. Hood said in the "cross-roads” of Leggett, in Edgecombe county, there were two banks a few years ago. ‘‘There wm no need for two banks in that place,” Hood said. “Yet a few years ago that was typical of a dozen places in North Carolina.” Hood showed the following as the resources of the three classes of banks in North Carolina; Commer cial banks, $303,201,176; industrial banks, $14,095,872; national banks, $103,255,000.

EDITORIAL CORRECTION Editor, The Pilot; In my letter to you which appear ed in your issue of September 11th I referred to “the erection of large and garish signs, so doughtily oppos ed by Mr. Burt.” The word “dought ily” is printed in The Pilot as “doubtfully,” which is ambiguous, to say the least, and may be read as in disparagement of Mr. Burt. “Dought ily” means “valiantly” or “bravely,” but it also connotes, to me anyway, perseverance against odds, which 1 think, Mr. Burt has certainly shown. The error was made in copying, of course, but it is not obviously appar ent as an error, and I would not want Mr. Burt or anyone else to think that I doubt his good faith or virtue of his cause. —ALMET JENKS.
