Mr. John S. Cunningham, federal
prohibition inspector, was in town
yesterday on business for the depart
ment, during which he was in con.
sultation with the sheritf and other
officials of county and town and from
Reports received he was assured
there was lUtle illicit manufacture
or sale of whisky in Edgecombe.
He stated that he found the offi
cers in favor of enforcing the na
tional prohibition law and from con
versations he had with the leading
citizens he was sure they also were
in favor of prohibition enforcement
and aiding the officials in their duty.
Mr. Cunningham, who has been
coming to Tarboro for many years,
saraFTie" waslglaff to'again" meet
many old friends and he spent sev
eral hours last evening shaking hands
with his numerous acquaintances.

To avoid "BLOCK SALES," the Greenville Tobacco Board of Trade
has ordered THREE (3) SALES for this Season. This means each
Company buying Tobacco on the Greenville Market will have three
Buyers, giving Greenville a Sale at three houses at the same time.
Heretofore we have had two. We believe this will do away with
the congestion and enable the planters to sell the day they put their
Tobacco on the Warehouse floors. "Block Sales" has been Greenville's
greatest obstacle and has been the club used in argument by the smaller
Markets.
FRENCH EXPORTS
SHOW AN INCREASE
Paris, Aug. 18. Satisfaction is
felt in France at the official statistics
just issued of French imports and
exports during the first six months
of the year.
Exports show an increase of 5,-
096,000,000 francs, compared with
the same period of last year. Im
ports also show an increase, over 2,-
061 millions, but this increase is al
most entirely due to materials for
manufacture, which amounted to
over 1,845 millions.
The excess of imports over exports
during the first half of last year was
11,037 millions, while for this year
this excess has fallen to 7,849 mil
lions, an improvement welcomed in
the financial world as likely to af
fect French exchange favorably.
MEXICAN WORKERS
STOP EMIGRATION
Mexico City, Aug. 18. Govern
mental efforts to stay the emigration
of Mexican workers into the United
LSfates and to induce those already
there to return to their native land
have taken form in the official sup
port given a corporation recently
formed to develop 600,000 acres of
land in the Fuerte Valley of Sinaloa.
The company in addition to a fed
eral concession, has been granted
subsidy of $2,500,000 by the state
government of Sinaloa and large
tracts of land in that state. It plans
to construct several reservoirs at
Choix and a dam at San Bias, with
canals on each side 'of the Fuerte
river to be used for irrigation pur
poses. With land available for irri
gation it is hoped to keep Mexican
laborers in Mexico and secure the
return of thousands who have emi
grated to the United States.
One of the most interesting mem
bers of the animal kingdom is the fly
ing frog of Borneo. Its longtoes
are webbed to the tips.
The Tobacco Crop is the only crop the Farmers raise that many of
them sell without getting its full worth. With many it is not "what
my Tobacco is worth," but "how soon can I get heme." Are you one
o f these?
