The exercises il the Baptist Sunday

Scotland Neck Tobacco Market.

Prices in the Scotland Neck tobacco
market have ranged high all the sea-
son. Farmers have been pleased with
the receipts for their tobacco and the
warehousemen have made the market
lively.
Observations here and at other mar
kets lead to the conclusion that farmers
get as high prices here as anywhere
they could sell their tobacco.
This being true it follows that the
farmers OF this community save money
by bringing their tobacco here, for they
bring it at less expense.

The most important election in
the municipal history OF Vinita ID
over. The Good Government
forces have won a great battle,
From top 10 bottom their ticket
was elected by an overwhelming
majority. Though the voting
throughout the day indicated vic
tory, the most sanguine never
hoped for one so complete. The
vote is the most iorceful commen-
tary that could be written on the
moral sentiment OF Vinita. Ii
speaks in clarion tones the deter
mination of the citizens of Vinita
10 maintain law and order town,
and it will be a dangerous expert
ment for the one, who attempts TO
oppose their viii.
The election was conducted ia a
very orderly manner, and though
there were a number of drunks in
evidence, no disturbances occurred
until after the polling booth was
closed. The accident which
Marshal Ledbetter suffered,
threatened TO result in an out
break of hoodlumism, with his
removal. but Deputy james Wiki
erson was soon on the scene. and
dispersed the groups of drunks
which had rapidly gathered. There
are no weak spots in Wilkerson's
make up. and that fact was soon
appreciated by the tough element.
One of their number named Ross
was inclined 10 be garrulous, and
spent the remainder Of the night
talking TO the bars in the hold
over.
Altogether IL was a glorious
viciory-a victory for right.
