martin County Tobacco Sold
The season of 1913 for the sale
of Martin County's golden leaf,
opened in Williamston and Rob
ersonville on Wednesday. The
crop in the county is the finest
and largest cultivated in several
years, and the preparations for
placing it on the market, prom
ised the farmers splendid returns.
The opening sales fully justified
the Expectations of everybody.
mth buyers from the Ameri
can, British-American, Liggett &
Myers, Imperial and several inde
pendent companies, the sales
opened herein the Roanoke Ware
house, where 20,000 lbs. of the
early curings attracted a large
crowd to witness the offering.
B. E. McClure, the auctioneer for
the house, made the selling li vely
and the warehousemen bid the
highest prices ever seen on this
market for similar grades. The
farmers had brought the weed,
and the market was right in
Williamston.
The sales in the Dixie Ware
house followed close upon those
in the Roanoke. J. W. Hight,
one of the proprietors of the
hou->e, offered the weed to the
buyers. On the floor were 32,720
lbs. which were eagerly taken
attl-e high prices which prevail
ed t irough the day. The pro
prietors of the house stood by the
farmers and they were pleased
with the price on every pile. The
highest price paid for any pile on
the market was 35 cents. The
estimated number of lbs. sold in
both houses was 52,720 at an
average of 13.37 cents. The
grades were from first curings,
and Mess. Jno. Cherry and W.
A ry had the highest priced
piles on the market.
Robersonville has three ware
houses this season, and is better
prepared to handle the weed than
last year. There was a big
crowd of interested farmers on
Wednesday to see the offerings,
which th* warehousemen had ar
ranged to sell at the highest
prices. A full crops of buyers
on the spot, and experienced
warehousemen looked after the
far Hers' weed. Adkins & Bailey,
the veteran proprietors of the
Taylor Warehouse, led by selling
25,117 lbs., and the average was
13.29. The sales on the market
amounted to 43,117 lbs. There
are no better markets in the
tobacco belt than those of Martin
County.

v A Letter
Editor, The ENTERPRISE
Please allow me space in your
paper. On the 12th. inst., the
election passed off quietly in
Cross Roads Township. The bond
issue got a good majority. There
seems to be some that oppose the
bond issue, but I think that they
are mistaken, and others, I think,
do not understand how much ad
vantage it will be when the pub
lic highways are put in good con
dition. It will save time, team
and vehicle and will save the
coijnty the expense of buying
lumber to repair bridges over
small ditches. One may say I
don't want the bond issue—l am
putting on my children a bondthat
never will be paid. Another will
say that the roads are good
enough; I have served my time
out in working • them, let the
hands keep them up.
I, too, have served my time,
4>ut am willing to help keep them
up. I know of a man in Cross
Roads Township that myself and
the rest of the Supervisors ap
pointed his son overseer on one
section of the road in the town
ship, but he would not let his son
have the order after being ap
pointed. This man is running
his auto right much and has as
many as six teams to travel the
roads, and then goes around to
his tenants and tells them that if
they vote for the bond issue, they
might look for another place to
farm. Any man who will not let
his son accept an order after it is
served by an officer and wants
the poor tenants to make good
roads for his six head of team
and auto, I don't think that is
just. It is my judgment, Mr.
Bditoff that a man should not
reap where he has not sown, for
the time is coming when such
people will want the rocks and
mountains to fall to hide them
from the great I Am at the Judg
ment.
Again good roads mean pro
gress—they will build up any
community. A man says that
the roads are good enough. Why
is not the old tar-body cart good
enough and the old-fashioned
plows good enough? No they
want somethimg better, and if
they desire better vehicles, why
not protect the team instead of
being Opposed to good roads? I
see he is abusing his team for
there is much more traveling now
than when the roads were made.
If the teams could only vote, a
bigger majority would have been
counted for the bonds.
Mr. Editor, I hope that you
will publish these scattering re
marks, and the law in regard to
the bond issue.
Yours respectfully,
Geo. D. Gurganus.

Aug. 17th. 1913.

Taking Calomel Means Staying
Home for the Day—Take Dod~
son's Liver Tone and Save a
Day's Work
If an attack of constipation or
biliousness hits you,, there's no
need to take a dose of calomel and
spend at least a day getting over
the effects of it. Saunders &
Fowden sells the liver tonic, Dod
son's Liver Tone, that takes the
place of calomel and starts a lazy
liver without any bad after
effects. '
Dodson's Liver Tone does all
the good that calomel ever did,
yet it is a absolutely harmless to
young people and . old. It is a
pleasant-tasting vegetable liquid
that will relieve constipation or
sour stomach or other troubles
that go along with a lazy liver,
without restriction of habit or
diet. You don't'leave off any of
the things you regularly do when
you take Dodson's Liver Tone:.
Saunders & Fowden sell Dod- .
son's Liver Tone and give, it a
strong personal guarantee. They
say, "A large bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone sells for 50 cents, and
we will hand any person back his
50 cents if he tries a bottle arid
dosen't say that it does all that
calomel ever does and does it
pleasantly. Get the genuine
Dodson's Liver Tone and if you
are not pleased with it we wiU
give your money back with a„
smile."
