and dishonesty in the election. 1t
Mr.. Carr succeeds, the charges that
he has bought newspapers and placed
money into the hands of his support
ers, which is being used to buy
votes, will not be stopped, but will
be intensified. Mr.. Simmons friends
will say that he was slandered and
hurt thereby and ought not to suffer
on account of it. In short, the dis
cussion will not stop with the pri-
mary"

Durham Cor. Post, list: Yester-
day and today there was a big rush
of tobacco on the market here, and
around the warehouses everything
had the appearance of the days a
few years ago, when Durham was
the leading tobacco market in the
South. So large yer the breaks
yesterday and today that double
sales were run in order to clear the
floors. Not only was there a large
break, but the price paid was far
above the average price paid in the
State. At the Farmers warehouse
there was tobacco from several coun-
ties, and the average price for all
that was sold on the floor gas $11.85
per hundred pounds. At the Par
IRISH warehouse the sale continued
all day yesterday and today. The
price here was also very fine. One
lot of about five hundred pounds
sold for $45 per hundred, and an
other lot of somewhere near two
hundred pounds brought $50. This
latter is the best price paid here this
year for the weed. From all sec
tions the farmers are here, and they
are more than pleased with the
prices they are receiving this year
for their tobacco and cotton.
Col. Odds correspondence, 31st

i. sioner OF Agriculture Patterson anC
your correspondent took a wall
through some farms. The cOttO1
| fields we're a curiosity to the Com
missioner, as they may we'll be jus
now to anybody. He declared tina
unless he had seen the strange sigh
the cotton plants now present h
. would not have believed such
L thing possible on the 30th of Octo
} Der. The plants are a third tale
than they were As days ago, and tn
tops are masses of bolls, squares an
; blooms. The new growth is from
l foot to two feet, and the number Q
L new bolls, squares and blooms run
l. as high 81 to a plant. Stranger still
u not only are there new bolls, etc., a
u the top, but on the bottom limbs a
. we'll. In other words, the plant
o which seemed late in August to {
. about lifeless, and from who
+ SQUARES, etc., had fallen in gres
numbers are now as full OF Vltallt
l. as if it were early summer. In or
y field a farmer was cutting the ric
green plants as forage for cattl
g He said he was sure the frost woul
al catch the top crop. He expresse
ID his own amazement at the appea
ance of the cotton, saying he hs
never hearn of anything like 1t.
