contended that the
construction of an act of the last

to be paid monthly from the
treasury of Pitt in lieu of fees now

receive this amount and in addition
thereto such fees as the defendants
themselves pay in the criminal court
in cases where they are convicted. The
Supreme court held otherwise.

For second time this week, and
two in succession there were
block sales on the local tobacco mar-
yesterday. On Tuesday, with over
pounds, two of the seven ware-
houses were unable to sell, and yes-
with equally as much of the
weed here, two other houses were
ed over lo this morning's sale. Al-
though cumber of pounds won't
reach half million mark today, it
will require minute of the sale
hours to finish on all the floors,
the houses being tilled from
wall to wall.
The number of pounds that have
been sold on the local market this
weeks has surprised many of the
it being far above their
expectations.
As was published in THE
TOR yesterday the Greenville market
ran second for the number of pounds
sold during the month of September,
and if sales continue as heavy
the remainder of October as they have
been for the first part, Greenville will
no doubt make it close for Wilson on
the top round on the number of
pounds.
No market In North Carolina have
made better averages than have been
made by the growers selling on local
floors, In fact some of the local ware-
houses are leading the state.
