as of farmers in thir schooner
wagons, loaded to capacity, were in
the city last week, the tobacco ware
looses "being filled long before day
Ijgbt, so that hundreds of wagons
actually filled the streets in the vicin
ity for many blocks. It looks cer
tain that the local market will see
teeords smashed this week.
Prices ruled high and firm, the
foyers of the many firms showing
argerness to swell the volume of big
itocks that they have been already
toying. The leaf offered ranged from
ordinary to good, as a rule. The to
kutco has been brought from several
adjoining counties besides Forsyth,
among them being Surry, Stokes,
Bockingham and Yadkin.
The good tone at which the local
market has held since the season
started is making- the farmers rush
their crops to the buyers as fast as
they can strip the weed. A tremen
dous crop is reported throughout this
teetion. yet many of the best-posted
cn maintain that good prices will
prevail right along till next spring.
The panic did not effect the eon
nurp'icn of tobacco, except to in
crease it, manufacturers say, for a
van may economize on other things
hut rot cn the weed. In consequence,
the big manufacturers here are look
ing for the biggest sales in their his-,
torv: in fact, they have been doing
a big business all along already.'
"Whatever hardship may have been
felt from the panic, the tobacco farm
ers of this section are free of such.
They are in better condition, finan
cially, than ever, it is said by men in
a position to know.

would take it. Everywhere and all
the while it was "Howdy-do, we're
glad to see you. Make yourself at
home and stay as long as you like."

derly, but spirited and fatally bent
on taking chances chances on. .the
street cars, chances with the fakirs

the darling of his parents.

well. Two of the best parades and
one of the best fairs ever seen in the
State were given during the week.
Everything, even the elements, com
bined to make the days glorious.

about unless yon happened to own
an automobile or a carriage. The
girls of the Greensboro Female Col

in their respective reception rooms
and the Merchants and Manufactur
ers club played host. It was a gay
night socially. The men in silk bats
and dress suits and the ladies in even
ing gowns were flitting about until 1
o'clock. The marshals' ball, in
Neese Hall, closed the- celebration.
The 'morning was devoted to the

Greensboro, N. C, Special. Hon.
William Howard Taft, Republican

speeches were attentively- listened to
by Republicans and Democrats.

heard him there. Being presented by
Mr. J. Elwood Cox, he said:
Ladies and Gentleman : I am glad
to come into the State Jof North Car
olina this beautiful October morn
ing and to receive this cordial recep
tion. Complaint is very often heard
on the part of your people that North
Carolina is not given bier part in the
administration of the government.
She is not. She has able men, but as
long as you are going to vote for the
Democratic ticket and the Republi
can party, is in power, I don't see
how these gentlemen who do the vot
ing can expect to share in the power
wIn other words, let them vote as they
think and then we will wipe out sec
tional lines. It is a great .pleasure
for sae to come here because I think
".sm the first RepuWfcan candidate
for President that ever came into
North Carolina on a campaign foi
the prea;dency, and I am here for the
purpose of testifying to the South my
interest in that section, my earnest
desire to unite it with the North, and
my hope that the Republican party
will be built up in North Carolina, so
that it may well have its full repre
sentation in the executive councils of
the nation. I thank you for your
kindness in coming here and I ap
preciate your Southern counrtesy."
At Salisbury and Greensboro Mr.
Taft said in -part:
"it is a great pleasure to come in
to North Carolina. I have studied
the statistics of Norths Carolina and
her marvelous growth with intense
interest. I know a good many of
your North Carolinians, and every
time a man from North Carolina came
into my office in Washington when I
Was Secretary of War, he had not
been there more than five minutes be
fore htf put his hand in his pocket,
pulled out a paper and began to read
and what he read was ' the statistics
of the growth of business of North
Carolina, so that it impressed itself
upon mo. For instance, your factory
products in 1900 were 85.000,00(). In
five years they had increased, in 1905
to $152,000,000. In J05 you- had
employed 36,000 persons in ;'our cot
ton, mills. Your cotton; manufactures
had increased from $9,000,000 in 1890
to $28,000,000 in 1900, ko $47,000,000
in 1905; also that you are second in
rank of manufacture of tobacco ; you
are third in the rank of manufactur
ers of lumber and timber products.
Yon make in one of your cities in this
State nearly as much as they make
in Grand Rapids, Mich., in furniture.
I am giving you these figures merely
to point out that unless we continue
to have a protective tariff, most of
these industries will be 'destroyed and
the wealth that you jhave accumu
lated has been accumulated by reason
iftl And yet how manv electol;
votes have yon cast in North Carolina
for the Republican party ? Somebody
raey have a better memory than I
have, but I don't recall a single one.
I ask you, my frieds, whether there
is any reason under trie existing cir
cumstances why, if you believe i.i
Republican policies, yon onght no. to
vote the Republican ticket? You have
a "State ticket end a congressional
ticket that, is unexceptional. 1 am
L.ot going to speak about the national
i
ticket because I cave a personal re
lation to it. But the national ticket
is a Republican ticket and pledged

son now why if they favor Republi

tion. I am anxious that you should
exercise the influence through your
able and great men, owbom vou have
many, in the same way that Ohio and
Indiana and New York and Massa
chusetts do. But, my dear friends,
if you are gorny simply from historic
tradition to keep voting the Demo
cratic ticket because you think that
t jour fathers voted thatrway, then you
are bound to stay on the outside and
look in at others enjoying the power
in the executive councils of the na
tion. It is not possible otherwise.
Human wature and party politics are
such as to make that necessary, and
I appreciate the homogeniety of the
Southern people. 1 know their fam
ily tradition. I know their conser
vatism, and their adherence to some
thing just out of respect to their an
cestors; but on the other hand they
are enterprising, progressive, cour
ageous people in everythingjut pol
itics, and I think it is time that they
began in politics to show the same en
terprise that they do in manufactur
ing furniture and in reaching out to
develop the enormous wealth of North
Carolina.
