SEPTEMBER TOBACCO SALES.
Small Decrease but Large
Increase Price Over Last Year
Secretary C W. Harvey of the
Greenville board of trade,
gives us the following figures of the
sales of leaf tobacco on the Green-
ville
For the month of September 3,416-
at average price of
per hundred pounds.
For August and September com-
pounds at an aver-
age price of per pounds.
For the months of August and
last year the sales were
pounds, at an average
of per hundred pounds.
These figures show a in
pounds from last year of
but an increase in average price of
per hundred pounds. The small-
quantity of pounds sold this year
than last is due to the fact that
last year the market opened on the
3rd of August, while this year it did
not the 18th, two weeks
later.

the delay in the part of our road-
builders in building new
roads throughout various sections of

these contentions because If the
money is in hand with which to build
the roads-, it ought to be put to its in-
tended use sO that it be of
vice to the public. But the thing
which, it seems tO us. should at this
time call forth more discus-
is the fact that many Of the roads
which have been constructed at con-
public expense are being
permitted -o go to ruin for lack of
attention. It is a fact that some of
the roads of Scotland county which
have been considered among our best,
have been in so great need of repairs
for so long a time that they have be-

great importance that the people of

highways in every direction, and we
believe the progress which is being
furnishes the soundest basis for
gratification. It Is of at least equal
importance that they should be keen-
alert to the necessity of main-
these highways at the highest
standard possible, and the thorough-

Prediction That it Will be The Worst
Since
Weather predictions are Interest-
hit or miss. Mr. James Abbott,
of Greensboro, a man whose business
keeps him out doors the year round,
has been hitting it very well on what
the winters bring forth. Last
he made a bet of a suit of
clothes that there would not be a fall
of snow as much as three inches all
winter. He won. Last week he
wanted to wager a bet with the same
man but he declined.
However, he made this prediction,
and I'm standing by It to That
the coming winter will be the worst
1857. This will do as a starter,
this was the worst winter ever,
with snow on top of snow each from
one to four feet deep on a level. Mr.
Abbott puts down that there will be
at least six snows of six inches deep
each before the birds sing again next
spring. This is quite enough, but
six snows only six inches deep will
compare with the winter of
However, It is it will not be
worse than six inches, even if
there should be six

capital up in land and having
left for stock and equipment. In
order to make the farm pay the farmer
must have plenty of working capital.
It is usually better to rent for a few
years until enough money has been
saved to make a fair payment on the
land. Then a farm can be bought
without robbing the equipment fund.
The question of where to locate is an
important one and one which the con-
mass of evidence makes hard
to decide. The Irrigated districts of
the west offer some of the best
to be found anywhere. The
country is new. and settlers
come. Land Is high, but It does not
take much of It to yield a good living.
The dry farming districts of the
west have been loudly boomed. This
dry farming land can be bought very
cheaply. It costs little to get a start.
At the same time the man who goes
on a dry farm must remember that
only half of his land will yield a
crop each year, sometimes not
than a third of it. The principle
dry farming is to cultivate the lam
for a year or two without sowing a
crop. This prevents the rain
falls from evaporating, and by the
second or third year enough moisture
will have been stored up to raise a
crop. No one should think of going
on a dry farm without having enough
money laid by to pay expenses for
two or three years without any in-
come. Dry farming means many
losses and much discouragement, but
the success of many dry farmers
proves that It offers opportunities to
the man who has the courage to stick.
The fertile lauds of the middle west
have been little advertised of late, and
many people are of the opinion that
this part of the country is already
fully settled. This Is far from being
tho case. The Mississippi valley could
support four or five times its present
farming population with ease. Laud
is high, but it Is worth the price. The
middle west offers the advantage of
progressive neighbors, good churches,
schools and colleges and modern con-
if every sort. There
thousands of chances for the city man
in this section.
In the east probably the best
found in truck farming.
Only small tract of land Is required,
and the returns are large.
The abandoned farms of Eng-
land can purchased very cheaply.
They can never he made as
as the lands farther west, but under
proper treatment the fertility can be
restored a very comfortable profit
secured from them.
The agricultural opportunities the
south have been little advertised, yet
there no section of the country
where the opportunities of
farmer are greater. Diversified farm-
and stock raising a
new thing in this section. The

Chapel Hill, Oct. press as-
at the University has come
to be an important student activity.
The membership of the association
includes all the editors of the differ-
student publications and all of the
correspondents of the county and
state papers. The students now pub-
entirely with their own editing
and business management, the semi-
weekly newspaper, The Tar Heel, and
the Monthly University Magazine, and
among them are correspondents for
all the state morning and evening pa-
of any importance and for over
fifty county weeklies and semi-week-
lies. The college publications keep
the general student body and the
subscribers informed about
what is happening in Chapel Hill and
afford an interesting means for the
self development of the student
tors and contributors. The men who
are corresponding for the county and
state papers have the same
for development and also
help to keep the work of the State
University before the eyes of the
to whom it belongs.
The history of the University
Is an Interesting chapter in the
history of the University Begun In
1844, it attained a state wide Import-
as a literary periodical. Its ed-
staffs have included many of
the most distinguished men whom fie
University has ever sent out. Its
tables of contents have
by men national reputations.
Among its editors have been such men
as Zebulon Baird Vance, Samuel F.
Phillips, one time attorney general of
the United States. Robert Pell,
dent of Converse College. Among its
contributors have been Chief Justice
John Marshall and Dr. Kemp Plum-
mer Battle.
It is a surprising fact that among
the students now registered at
the University more than one-third
are in some way practically or entire-
supporting themselves. One
of self help that has developed in
the past few years is the way several
of the students have of earning their
clothes is by being local agents for
clothing and haberdashery firms. The
student agents do the advertising and
delivering of the goods. Already this
fall over fifty students have been
