BREAKS BREAK
RECORD OF MARKET
The Sales of Tobacco Here
This Week.
LOW GRADES MOSTLY
BUT SOME EXCELLENT QUAIL
TIES WERE OFFERED.
THE BARBECUE AT FARMERS WAREHOUSE
Six Counties Represented in the Sales on the
Floor and the Prices Were Entirely
Satisfactory. Locking Forward
to a Good Season.

Raleigh has long been one of the lead
iEg cotton markets of the State. 1t is
coming to be a tobacco market of con-
siderable Importance as well.
This was clearly shown at the breaks
here on Friday when the amount of to-
bacco on the floors of the warehouses
was the largest i'm their history and came
from six counties-Wake, durham,
Franklin, Chatham, Harnett and john
ston. The total sales for the day
amounted to 1G0,S00 pounds-not a large
break for the markets of the Older to-
bacco sections, but one that holds the
record here.
The proprietors of the Farmers Ware
house, Mess1.s T. and C.. Lee had pre-
pared for the OCCASION 600 pounds OF
juicy barbecue and the patrons and their
friends were abundantly served free OF
charge About 800 people took dinner
ut the warehouse, among them number
of townspeople who were present by
invitation.
The offerings of tobacco were SO large
that after the sale of the morning the
floor had to be cleared and another sale
made in the evening. The grade of to-
bacco was rather common on the whole,
but the prices paid Were quite satisfac-
tory to the farmers. Indeed there is no
market of the State where higher prices
for tobacco can be had than here in Raj
eigh. The American Tobacco Company.
and all the important outside companies
and foreign consumers had buyers on the
floors.
The finest tobacco marketed WAS
grown in Wake county and belonged to
Miss Effie Goodwin, of the A1ilbulnie
neighborhood. 1t brought 5000 per
hundred on a bona iide sale, not one
of the kind made for advertising pur-
poses. From this highest price the prices
ranged all the way down good deal
bringing over $50 per hundred while a
large part was above the SO mark.
There were breaks at the Planters
Warehouse also, Mcssrs. Fleming and
King proprietors, the sales there being
about one third of the total and me
prices ranging much the SANG as at the
Farmers Warehouse.
1t is a fact that tobacco is now grown
nearly all over Wake county and the
quantity produced increases from year
to year. The finest tobacco comes as Il
rule from the lower side cf the county,
toward Wakefield and also next to the
Johnston line though some high grade
tobaccos are marketed from all sections
of the county.
A gentleman, who has been engaged
in business here for more than quarter
of a century and who is intimately ac-
qIainted with the condition of the farm
ers Of the county said yesterday TIA. /
had been his uniform experience that
the farmers who grow tobacco have more
money to spend and are better off II
the end of the year than those who pin
their faith to cotton.
The local warehouses win continue
throughout the present season to haze
breaks on four days of the week and
both in quantity and quality this is likely
to be the best season the Raleigh mar
ket has experienced.

COTTON SEED ARE SCARCE.
Oil Mills Feel the Result of the Short
age of the Cotton Crop.

dBE OF IIIE CUIIUH DTOp.
One rather odd incident of the short
age of the cotton crop in North Carolina
this year is the effect on cotton seed
oil mills. The crop has fallen so far
below normal that the mills are having
some difficulty in obtaining the seed
for the manufacture of oil, meal and
bulls. There is no prospect that the
mills will have to shut down for lack
of raw material, but they feel the effect
in the shape of increased prices, seed
selling for five cents per bushel more
now than at the same period of last
year. A still further rise is probable.
and the price of the finished products
will be raised correspondingly.

The Manufacturers Record s.ys that
apprehension seems to exist IN some
quarters that railroad construction in
this country is being oyerdone. 1t must
be remembered that the railroads are
largely responsible for the revival of
industrial activity. Nearly two years
ago they began to recover from the tie
preston which has continued fot nearly
four years.
As soon as they were able, the paper
continues, they began to put in1o fleet
plans for improvements and extensions
which had been temporarily suspended.
To that must be attributed, directly or
indirectly, much Of the squirt given to
iron and steel production. lit is appa-
rent that railroad construction is to
continue for several months at least.
Whatever may be the situation in other
parts of the country, there is little, if
any, evidence in the South hat the
actual work being done is anything
but necessary to meet the demaud for
transportation Of mineral, agricultural
and industrial products.

Some Fncts About Honey.

Honey is the only sweet that may be
eaten in any quantities and for long
time without interfering with the ac

food value is twice that of pork, pound

persistent honey-eaters are not nearly
so liable 10 diseases of the respiratory

A Record Diving Feat.

The greatest diving feat ever
achieved was in moving the cargo of
the ship Cape Horn. wrecked off the
coast of South America, when a diver
named Hooper made seven descents to
a depth Of over 200 feet, remaining at
one time forty-two minutes under the
water. An authority states that the
greatest depth to which man has
been known to descend does not ex-
ceed 22O feet. which is equivalent to a
pressure Of IS 1-2 pounds to the square
inch.

GIVES ARTIST A MODEL.
The Painter Of Trnhy Gains Rh Sitter
Through Necessity.

Ane FAintor or Truby Gains Hi 6ittov
Through Necessity.
An interesting story is connected
with the familiar picture of Trilby
painted by Ashley D. NJ. Cooper, which
was exhibited very generally through
out the country at the time Of tho
craze for Du Mauriers picturesque
heroine. The artist obtained his mod
el for the painting through the desire
OF the young woman to lift the mort
gage on her home farm. Some years
ago this young woman was living the
happy life OF country girl on her
wealthy parents farm in Western Mis-
souri,. She grew up wild and free, un-
restrained in spirits and form, living
very close to nature. No corsets ever
encircled her waist, and no tight shoes
distorted her feet. She grew to wom-
anhood an unfettered child Of nature,
beautiful In face and form. Then
came misfortune for her father. The
grasshoppers devastated his fields, and
he was compelled to mortgage his
homestead. The father sickened and
died, leaving his wife and daughter
without resources and with a mort
gagged home. They went to Kansas
City, where the mother secured en-
ploynent as cashier in department
store and the daughter as a cloak mod
el in the same establishment. Their
common purpose was TO save money
enough 20 pay off the mortgage on the
homestead. AS they came and went TO
their work they begal to attract atten-
ton, ana soon all eyes were upon them.
The young woman soon became known
as the living Venus" aid as such was
known to many people who knew moth
ing of her life. At this tine an artist
friend, who lived in Kansas City, wrote
to Mr.. Cooper that he had seen a wom-
an Of gcddesslike form, who alone
would serve for model for perfect
Trilby, knowing that Cooper was
searching for such a model. The artist
went post haste to Kansas City. He
managed TO secure an introduction to
TIE beautiful girl, and with all possi-
BILE tact suggested his purpose. She
Indignantly refused his offer, but Coop
er was so impressed with her beauty
that he would not be content with a
refusal. He argued with the mother,
persuaded her, and promised a price
that would raise the mortgage, and en-
deavored to show the daughter that
there need be no sacrifice Of her maid
enly modesty. He told her that her
mother could go with her and be with
her all the time she was posing Finally
she yielded. At Coopers beautiful
home in San Jose, Cal, during the fol-
lowing four months SHE was the sole
model, and furnished the inspiration
for this great picture. When the pic
ture was completed both mother ana
daughter returned to Kansas City
where the daughter was soon married
