But filter-tipped cigarette sales jumped 23.1 .per emit over '57 while non-filter-tips dropped 12 per cent for regulars and 7.1 per cent for king-sixes. Total ’58 sales were 424 billion compared to 409.4 billion in ’57. The top three spots for ’58 were still held down by non-filters, but only one of these showed a gain over <67. * . CaandS, stiU the nation’s No. 1 37.5 billion to 38.9 billion. A uewicomer to fifth place is Kent, with an amazing 177.7 per cent increase which shot Me sales ffarn 13.5 billion in ’57 to 37.5 billion last year. Chesterfield was pushed from fifth to sixth by zooming Kent and wound up the year with 39.2 billion sales, a drop of 8.6 per cent from the previous year sales of 32 bil lion. ' SLUM still held onto the seventh rung of this sales ladder despite a 8.1 per cent drop in sales from 34.4 billion in '57 to 22.9 billon in ; Viceroy dropped from sixth to 8th with 6.1 per cent, less sales In ’56 then in ’57; actually from 27.3 billion to 22.2 billion. In spite of the tattooed men Marlboro flipped from 8th spot to 9th spot with a modest gain of 14 per cent, on comparative sales of 19.5 billion over 11 billion in Both the filter and regular Kools combined sales of 13.7 for and increase of 11.4 per cent to put this Brown & Williamson en try in 12th place. iAU flavors and sizes of Old Gold dropped a combined 15.8 per cent from 15.8 billion to 13.3 bil lion for 12th place in the smoke deity. Philip Morris was “called for” 12.9 billion times in ’58, which was a drop of 18.8 per cent over its record of 15.5 a year before. AH flavors of Herbert Tareyton located it in 14th spot with sales of 8.5 billion each of the two last years. Raleigh put out a filter in ’58 which helped it hold onto the 15th rung in the nicotine ladder. An increase of 7.5 per cent with 6.7 WlUah in ’57 end 72 billion last to 2.8 billion in ’58. Other also-rans in this annual “smokathon” included Newport 2.8 billion, Oasis 1.4 billion, Cava lier .4 billion, while all other brands accounted for another 2 billion. iFilter-tips accounted for 197.6 billion of the 1958 consumption, nonrifilters were the other 226.4 billion. In 1957 this comparison was 160.5 filters, 252.6 non-filters. One thing clearly indicated by the 1958 returns from all cigarette makers is that smokers are now beginning to exercise the same degree of selectivity among the filter-tips that they once did a mong the regular brands. For a great many /ears Camels, Luck ies, Chesterfield and Old Golds were the top four. Then along came the lung-can cer publicity and anything tbat had a filter on it grabbed a part of the market. But now as filters approach something like 46.6 per cent of, the entire cigarette mar ket, the smokers are exhibiting the same kind of filter selectivity that practice BiLCS (Before short, and a hurry-up cell was made to Raleigh for a fresh sup ply, which was rushed to the hos pital by the State Highway Patrol.

Honors from the street depart ment were Floyd Cannon, Casper Smith, Jacob Cox, Ashley Heath, David Heath, J. B. Fields and Wade Vester. Hospital Administrator Ellis Pierce was high in his praise of laboratory workers, nurses, stu dent nurses, doctors and other staff members who had worked straight through in the fight for Mrs. Jernigan’s life. Some of these worked for a 24-hour stretch, Pierce said. Right Pig, Short Tale’ After hearing the scant state evidence against Kinston Grocer Lyman Grant Tuesday Judge Chester Morris told Solicitor Wal ter.Brttt, "You Have the right pig, Mr. Solicitor, but you can't get him to the trough!" Six cases of snuff stolen from Gray & Ogles by Wholesale Company on Sep tember 4th of last year wbrt found a few minutes {after they were stolen In Grant's store on East Bright Street. Police failed, how ever, to catch the man who act ually did the stealing, and without that positive link no proof could be established that Grant had "knowingly received stolen pro perty".
