AMERIcUs GIVEN A DowNPoUR

Wretched Weather Was the handout
Yesterday.
A drenching rain which fell for
twelve hours yesterday bottled up
business and gave the clerks holiday.
From l o'clock in the morning until
near nightfall it came down steadily
and only the mudIarks had any show
ing whatever. Baslness was practi-
calIy suspended and there was nothing
to do but keep the fire crate going. A
cold wave will probably follow, and
then winter will be upon us in earnest

Average Was $11.48
Per Hundred.

Yesterday was one of the biggest
days of the year on the Raleigh to-
bacco market There were over 900
farmers at the two local warehouses,
the Capital City and the Farmers
and the scenes at the break were live
ly. The buying was energetic Farm
ers were in the city from Wake, John
son, Chatham, Harnett and Franklin
counties
Over 10000 pounds of the week
were sold and the average price Of
the breaks was $11.4S. Prices ranged
from to As cents per pound.
Only a small per cent of the farm
ers who attended the sales yesterday
had tobacco in the warehouses for
sale, and were here only to watch
and investigate the market. But they
were pleased with Raleigh as a to-
bacco market and assured the pro-
rrietors of the warehouses that they
would bring their tobacco here to sell
Raleigh presents many inducements
to the farmer to bring his tobacco
here. ! The prices are the highest in
the state, the roads leading from the
country are excellent, the accommo-
dation provided for the farmers at the
warehouses cannot be better, as all
the employees are polite and attentive,
the banking facilities are not sur
passed, and in this city the farmer
finds the best stores in North Caro-
lima.

Many people regard the presenta

here have condemned the play, and
in almost every instance the prejudice
of the person antedated the play
here
One of the many who believe the
mission of The Clansman" is great. is
Attorney General r. d. Gilmer and
in discussing the drama yesterday,
he said:
Il regard The Clansman' as a pow
erful play. 1t presents history in it's
true light 1t deals with the only
case in the annals of the world in
which an enslaved people were in one
day transmitted from d race of bonds
men into a dominant political factor.
Before the footl ghts We see the forces
at work which threatened to destroy
from the face of the earth the fairest
and purest civilization the world ever
saw. BY the greatest blunder of thu
century the ballot was placed in the
hands of the negro who was totally
unprepared to exercise the right of
suffrage. He became the dupe of
designing men. The deplorable con-
ditions which followed in our Southern
country are faithfully portrayed III

There were heroes who, for th
care of women. the innocence of child
hood and the preservation of our
sacred traditions, arrested the on
ward sweep of those terrible influences
which threatened our people, our
