the market contained about that much
yesterday.
Seven hundred thousand pounds of
tobacco Is the most that has been
on this market during the present
season, and yesterday's was one
of the only three that have been
blocked this year, thought It was much
the larger of tho number. Two ware-
houses In all failed to dispose of all
the weed on their during the
day, and their sales continued
until this morning. of the first
sale today beginning with the houses
scheduled, the two selling forces went
to the houses that failed to get through
yesterday.
While the sale today Is thought
to be a little above the overage, it
Is that all of the weed on
tho local market will be disposed of
before tho hour for the day's work
to be done.
It can stated that prices for
tobacco have scarcely ever been bet-
than they are the present
time. The average for the past few
days was given this afternoon at
nearly twenty cents, and this Is said
to be high and very good.

Though little is being talked in
public about the matter, the advocates
a county hospital to be built la
Greenville are hard at work. Those
interested in the matter are gathering
statistics and making detailed stud-
and Investigations in the
and will soon have something
tangible upon which they may proceed
further with tho movement that has
been set on foot. The
appearing in this paper sometime
ago, in which a local physician asked
for the opinion of others as to the
or the opportunity for the
establishment of such an institution,
brought forth no responses whatever,
but the men behind the proposition
in Greenville are not discouraged.
They are full of the Idea that there
should be a hospital here, and there
are hundreds of the people of the
town who are supporting them in this
view.
The plan is to establish and equip
in Greenville, or near this town, a
modern and up-to-date, though not
large, hospital. As no one
Individual in Greenville seems to be
willing to enough money to
tho proposition to the plan,
the Idea has been advanced that It b
made a county institution. If
were done, it would be supported by
county through a fund raised by
the levying of a per capita tax upon
tho people of the county, each pay-
his proportionate share.

SUPPORT THE MOVEMENT.
Many people have for a long time
been wondering why the government
Is making the channel of Tar river
deeper. It is spending thousands of
dollars in trying to provide a deeper
water route whereby larger steam-
ships may come up the river on their
freight shipments. But It is beginning
to look as though our people do not
appreciate these things.
Regardless of what the railroads
agree to in the freight rate matter.
Greenville Is in a position to get a
rate If she will only her
opportunity. Right at our very door
is a river that ran be utilize
to the greatest advantage, and which
will mean the saving to the local mer-
chants of thousands of dollars every
year.

JUST FREIGHT RATES.
At the beginning of the light against
the railroads for a better and a cheap-
rate for the organized forces of
the merchants of the state made
demands up the railroads. These
demands the railroads at first
refused to accept, and for a
long while did nothing whatever In
to the matter. Tiring of their
efforts, the business men
determined that the railroads should
pay attention to their demands. Or-
were perfected in
half the counties of the
and the merchants and manufacturers
banded themselves together, and
pared to present a solid phalanx in
their fight against discrimination an I
injustice The fight was started many
months ago, and it is still going on
with unabated interest.
Time after time the railroads have
submitted propositions In an effort to
end the fight In their favor, but each
time it was ant

not been reached, and there was still
more to come. And now. before an-

MAN IX THE MAKING.
Many times the question has been
asked, is and almost as
many different answers have been
given as there have been questions
asked. One answer, and, we believe
one which is about as true as any of
them, is that man is what
the child before him proved to be. If
the child was given the proper train-
In his youth, and If he made
good, then the man will take care of
himself.
Too much emphasis cannot be laid
on the importance of giving proper
training to children during the days
of their school life. We do not pro-
pose to palm ourselves off as one cap-
able of saying just now a child should
be trained, but we do know that ha
should ho given the best that there ll

face to face with the matter of train

that much of the crime today may
be traced to extravagant living, and
it is a thing that there are
scores and hundreds of automobile

judge to a considerable extent, yet
see no reason for taking such a

UNDERWOOD'S
On last Saturday night It was
announced In Washing-
ton that Representative Oscar W.
floor leader of the Demo-
House, has decided to make the
race for the United States senate So
the successor of Congressman Clay-
ton, who has been filling out the
expired term of Senator Joseph John-
son. While this announcement comes
at this time, It Is not altogether
prising to who have been keep-
Pace recent developments
Yet those who had hoped to see Mr.
Underwood advance in the world of
politics do BOt know Just exactly how
to interpret Ml actions.
It was at one time thought by some
that Mr. still had the
presidential bee buzzing in his ear,
but this does not give that appear-
While he held the key to
situation for many long weary days
at the Baltimore convention, it was
a very fact that he never
stood any sort of a show of being the
successful candidate, It may

man has to the conclusion that
If ever lie had a It has by this
time sunk below tho western
and that lie must go through life with
out the honors of the highest office
in the gift of his people.
We do not believe that Mr. Under-
wood could nominated for the
presidency In 1916, yet no one can
tell what a day may bring forth. It
la very true that ho has made for
the of Representatives the
best and most capable leader of re-
cent years, and that he has
performed a distinguished
service for the country In what he
has done. We think he Is now In the
very place for which he Is most suit-
ed, and that ho should remain there.
If he goes to the senate, he will have
to spend many years there before
nothing is to be gained by any such
view of these conditions. However,
it is well that one call a halt

It is better that this from a

indifferent children in the schools,
and these must be shown that they
must work. They cannot be left to
choose their own course. This kind
of a boy will never be brought to
realize the true and proper mean-

not take hold of them.
The boy who Is studious and In-

books that he studies, is of the kind
which shall one day be real back-

necessity, be the leader of future
generations, and the careless,
sort of a fellow will have to

Let the boys and girls In our schools

of these boys and girls realize, that
it Is they to whom the future will

According to plans now on foot,
the members of Carolina Club will, at
their next meeting take up the prop-
of providing better
facilities for this town by
means of the establishment of a steam
ship line between Greenville and Nor-
folk. One of the principal reasons
for tho advancement of this project b
that some sort of a competitive
may be put into Influence a better
freight rate over the Norfolk Southern
railroad from Greenville to Norfolk.
The matter of establishing a steam-
ship line from this town to Norfolk
Is not a new project It has been dis-
cussed by some of the principal
men and wholesale merchants
of the town for some time. Added
however, was given the move-
a few days ago upon the re-
of a letter from a bunch of
Northern capitalists who seem to
Interested In the new boat line. It
is believed that such a project would
be a paying proposition, and it Is
pointed out that even thought a
or a stock company might
not be to make a fortune In the
business, it would be to the Interest
of the merchants and wholesalers of
the town to band themselves
and finance the project them-
selves. It Is believed by men In
to know, that unless the rail-
roads of the state grant a consider-
able reduction In the freight rates
charged the merchants of North Car-
and a part of which
Greenville people are given,
that the line would mean a consider-
able saving to the business enterprises
of this section of the state.
Already several coast cities and
town in this state have lines run-
to Norfolk, and all of them real-
the immense saving that Is netted
them by the advantages of such a
project The town of Washington at
the present time enjoys a much low-
freight rate than does Greenville
and that because of her water front-
age.
Advocates of the new project say
that the federal government Is spend-
Its money to dig a six-foot
In the Tar River up to tills town,
and that the merchants should show
their appreciation by taking ad-
or the opportunity thus
en them for securing better and cheap-
freight rates. The concern In the
north which has written hero for In-
formation on tho subject seems to
be very much interested, and Caro-
Club will take up the matter at
Its next meeting.

And blackberry vines are running.
Within the masters desk is seen,
Deep scarred by raps official;
The warping floor, the battered seats,
The jack-knife carved initial,
The charcoal frescoes on the wall;
Its door's worn still betraying
The feet that, creeping slow to school.
Went storming out to playing.
Long ago a winter sun
Shone over it at setting;
Lit up the western window-panes,
And low eaves icy fretting.
It touched the tangled golden curls,
And brown eyes full of grieving,
Of one who still her steps delayed
When all the rest were leaving.
For near her stood little boy
His childish favor singled;
His cap pulled low upon a face
Where pride and shame were mingled.
Pushing with restless feet the snow
To right and left, he
As restlessly her tiny hands
The blue-checkered apron fingered.
He saw her lift her eyes, he felt
The soft light caressing,
And heard the tremble of her voice
As if a fault confessing.
sorry I spent the word;
I hate to go above you.
brown eyes lower fell
you see, I love
Still memory to a gray-haired man
That sweet child-face is showing,
Dear girl I the grasses on her grave
Have forty years been growing
He lived to learn in life's hard school,
How few who pass above him,
Lament their triumph and his loss,
Like they love him.

close attention is being given the
class of work that is being turned
out by the machine. Two

operate it. The services of two men
are needed, as one has to drive the
team and the other give his
