About Two Hundred Thousand Pounds Here For Opening and a Crowd Estimated Around Five Thousand Were in Attendance?Quality Off But Color Good?Higher Averages are Drawing a Large Number from a Distance to the Farmviffle Market This Season?Customers Pleased. I ; With one of the best opening - breaks in FarjnviDe's long and successful tobacco history, the big warehouses here Tuesday ware scales of unusual activity when the buyers from the big gest manufacturers in the world started buying the bright leaf that filled the werehouses here for the opening. As usual Farmville lead all of the other Eastern Carolina mar kets in the average price paid. Averaging $22.33 per hundred for the in tire two hundred pound break, which, according to pub lished reports from other mar ? kets, was from $2.00 to $5.00 a hundred the leader. The crop is estimated to be a short one. The leaf is fairly good as to color but thin and light. It is somewhat heavier than many had expected. Between four and five thou sand farmers were in the city Tuesday creating a goodly in crease in business throughout the day. A cordial welcome was extended by Farmville business men, and a spirit of optimism prevailed, speaking plainly the being added and with more com petition among the buyers. Other surrounding town re port large breaks on the opening but none of whom came up to standard set by the Farmville market in prices paid to the farmers for their offerings. ? - ? WILSON REPORTS BIG SALE I I BUT LOW AVERAGE. Wilson, Sept 3.?The Wilson Times II says: That things an not always! I what they seem is in&cated by the J| I prices on the opening of the Wilson I I tobacco market Of course they are I I I higher here than on any market in I I the east, but that is not the point at!I I issue. Every one expected that the II I opening price would be at least 25il I cents per pound. The best estimate]I I we could make yesterday was that II the opening was around 22.50. I However, the official figures show II I that the opening average was only I I 2034, and that is considered by the II I editor of The Times a very low av- I I erage considering the quality of the j I tobacco which is hotter titan we ex- I I peeted, and ia keeping with the de-jl mand for the tobacco on account of II I the' short crop due to the heavy rains [I I in tba South Carolina belt, which II I washed the substance out of it. It is fl I different, however, in this section. [I I The quality of the tobacco is dedd-ll I edly better. fl According to the official report of il ? Mr. J. H. Petty, supervisor of tales I I on the Wilsea tobacco market, the II I sales yesterday were 863394 pounds, il I for $275,688.44, at an average of jl I 20-34' I | The same day, or opening day last H I year, the sales waia 430,266 pounds || I at an avenge of SU24 per pound. fl _, I,.

Y ;i Older residents last night recalled that exactly 38 years have elapsed since the Charleston earthquake. Tremors and shakings from the | earthquake w<fte forcibly felt in this i vicinity on the night of August- 317 1886. Successive tremors shook the earth around Charleston, S. C., for two days, August 31 and September 1, 1886, practically destroying the city, but the quake felt here and the excitement It caused, lasted only a few minutes, old-timers relate. ' In this section the earthquake caused great excitement and in many instances terror. Many thought Ga briel had sounded the last trump and that judgment day had come. In those days a cuurch for negroes was standing in South Greensboro, near Five Points. On that eyentftah ? '' 4 * ' _r . night in August, 38 years ago, tne| church was packed and jammed with listeners while a negro minister, of tall and angular proportions, and ac counted a powerful exhorter, was ha ranguing the congregation, painting [vivid word pictures of A golden para dise on the one hand, and tpraphte I pictures of a torment?in hell off ire and brimstone on the other, i The sermon was. hearing its dose. With deep fervor and excitement the angular divine was picturing en schooner. A low mourn of terror arose from the congregation, swell ing in vokma as the house began to rode*. ._ '' "Bjrderen and sistern," shouted the shepherd of the flock, "You all kin stay here ef you wanter, but I'm done gone now." And the minister quickly matching action with words, turned suddenly and dived through a window at the rear of the pulpit Greensboro News. "Tommy, stop eating with your fingers." "But, mamma, weren't fin- < gers made before forks."

Some already are there and others are proceeding, moving as neutral' ships, but prepared to act swiftly in the event they are called upon to pro tect their respective nationals, com mercial and trade interests, now me naced by danger of hostilities be tween military forces commanded by two provincial governors. ' The diplomatic agents of the four governments-already have advised the Peking foreign office that "the idea of a naval battle in the greatest harbor of the feast was unthinkable and could not be tolerated," pointing ou that the Shanghai waters consti tute one vast harbor m which the ships of every nation float and that the present status of affairs 'presents * a situation that cannot beregarded with equanamity by them. * ?* nit i:' _ Admiral i nomas wasmngion, com mander in ehief of the Asiatic squad ron/ and Edward Bell, charge of the legation in Peking, reported today to the Washington government on the situation at Shanghai.
