LOCAL NOTES AND TOBACCO JOTTINGS BY O. L. JOYNER. Tobacco sticks Seem to be very much in demand this year. The primings that are coming now, generally shuw good colors. We hope they are true foreruno- nera of the crop. In traveling around this year we notice that nearly everybody is priming tobacco rather than cut the stalk. This may be the best way to get the most money out of the. crop, “but this writer dves not believe it, and while we do not pretend to advise others as to the best wethod, frankly we believethat a wrapper crop. will not sell for mach over half prim- ed off the stalk what it would have sold for had it been cut- We haye written to the largest manu-— facturers of thia country and as soou as we hear from them will publish just what they nave to say about priming ‘obacco in _ their own words, then furmers can be their own judges as to the best method. We have heard a good many say they sold primings for more money than their staik cat tobacco. is may be true ina few instences, but there is just no telling what primed tobacco ’ would have brought had it been cut. Big Breaks. The breaks vat at the ware- houses to-day looked almost like ' fall times. There wus between - 36,000 and 20,000 pounds on the floors. The Eastern led off with the first and largest break, the others following well. Prices were good. STATE NEWS.

FRANK WILSON; The King Clothier. tment A Short Sermon. If you make a man a promise to pertorm an obligation at a cer- tain time be sure that you keep it On the strength of your promises other promises may have been made, and failure to keep your word may cause others to fail also. Be honest in your dealings, and truthful in your promise, and the world will get along better. © Take a New Census. Gastonia, Lenoir, Morganton and Asheville have recently taken a census of the number of inhabi- tants and the aldermen of Char-— lotte have ordered a census of that city taken. We are satisfied that within the past five years—since the last census was taken—there tas been alarge increase in the population of Greenville, and wor'.' like to seea new census taken so the exact number of peo- ple here could be known.
