MARKET HAS OPENED
FIFTY THOUSAND POUNDS SOLD
ON THE FIRST
DAY.
Fifty thousand pounds of as fine to
bacco as was ever grown in Eastern
North Carolina was yesterday placed
on the floor of the Vanccboro, Craven
county, warehouse and disposed of at
excellent prices to the various buyers
who are attending that market this
season. The opening of the season and
the initial sale was quite an event
at Vanccboro and for miles around
farmers anil li siness men had rn:c
to be mi hand lor I1"' f t . s.i!e.w K;rk
inf the morning the spaciot s door was
covered with the weed and when the
selling and buying begun, interest was
at fever heat. Prices al1 the day
through were good and the growers
. were well satisfied. The Vanceboro
, section is one of the best tobacco grow
ing districts in Craven county and
laige quantities of the weed have been
grown there for several years past.
Heretofore this tobacco has been car-
j ried to other markets but this season
a stock company was formed and they
I erected a commodious tobacco ware
house which is one of the best to be
found in Eastern North Carolina
The opening of this warehouse gives
Craven County two markets, one in
this city and the one at Vanceboro. The
local market was opened on Wednes
day and one hundred thousand pounds
of the weed were disrosed of at that
thime and since then large quantities
of the weed have been brought in for
sale. These two markets being in close
proximity to all parts of Craven, Pam
lico, Onslow and Carteret county, the
growers in these sections will make
use of them instead of carrying the weed
to some distant city as has been the
case in seasons gone by.
MASHERS BEWARE.
Had Better Stay Away From the
Chorus Girls.
The managei of the Southern Bu
ties Musical Comedy Company playing
ing at the Athens Theatre this week,
claims that themembfers of his chorus
have been annoyed during the week
by certain young men. In addition to
accosting them on the street, he claims
that they have written them notes
and in order to break up this practice
he intends reading from the stage to
night one of these notes and also give
the name of the writer. This will of
course prove an advertising feature for
the show but in addition to that it will
probably be sanctioned by the Law and
Order League who have been endeavor
ing to break up the practice referred to
by the show man.
New Bern is not the first town that
the n anager of the Southern Beauties
Musical Comedy Company has an
nounced that he would read the "mash
notes" of the love lorn swains who wrote
to his chorus girls.
This item' is clipped from the Tampa
Times
The Empress was crowded to the
doors last night, and it seemed that
every one tried te get in at the first
performance. The Southern Beauties
Company played that funny farce com
edy, "The Naughty Aunt," and the way
the audience applauded the - actors
showed that theft- efforts were appre
ciated .. ,
Every one was all exqtement when
the curtain rang down ' on the final
scene, and Mr. Tassell appeared be
fore the curtain and made the an
nouncement that he was going to read
the;"mash nortes" that the chorus girls
had received and that he wanted it
understood that no part of the notes
would be ommitted." . i
1 One pbor fellow called ( Mr. Tassell
aside and asked Jiim. to not read his
note as he had a mother and sister and
he was afraid that it would hurt him
in a business way. He was told that
the girl he wrote the note to also had
a sister, brdther and a mother, and
that she was as good as he was and .'his
note would be read as well as any jo
the others. ' " ' 1 '

GERMANS KILLING
MEAT THEY WOULD EAT
NEEDED FOR THE
PEOPLE.
IS
LONDON, Sept. 3. So carefully are
they conserving the food supply in
Berlin, according to reports reaching
London, that the carnivous animals
in the Zoo are to be killed to savefir
the consumption of the people the
meat that would be fed to the animals.
They are fed largely on horse flesh,
which cannot be spared apparently at
the present iini".
The sa'ii:- conditions prevail ipi Ham
burg, where Hagenbeck's famo-'s 7.oo,
the largest collection of wild animals
in existence, will also suffer heavily.
The less valuable carnivorous animals
are being killed off first and fed to the
others, and it is hoped by this means
ultimately to save a considerable part
of the collections.
Fish are easily procurable and fish
eating animals have a large lease on
life.
TO DELIVER AN ADDRESS
ERNUL.
AT
On Friday the 11th day of Septem
ber at 3 o'clock p. m., J. Z. Green, of
Marshville, N. C, will deliver an ad
dress to the farmers at Ernul. Mr.
Green who is a very fore able speaker,
will use as his subject, "The Perfect
Organization and Co-operation of the
Farmers." The president of the Cra
ven county Farmers Union urges that
all farmers be on hand to hear the
address. Not only are the members
of the Union invited to be present,
but all farmers who are not members
are extended a cordial invitation.
THE WATER SUPPLY.
New Wells "Tapped'
Mains.
To The City
Although the work of connecting the
new wells back of the City Had with
the water mains has not been com
pleted, the water from one of these wells
was yesterday flowing throi.gh the water
pipes to different buildngs in the city.
The entrance of the water into the
mains was through two lines of hose
run from the pump to a hydrant on
South Front street,.
A quantity of water from this well
has been examined by the State Chemist
at Raleigh, and the analysis shows that
it comes from the same strata as that
pumped from the wells at the pumping
station near Ghent Park.
It is expected that the connection
with the main on Craven street will be
completed within a-few days and that
both the wells will be put into service.
