Record Tobacco Sales For July.
,Che sales of leaf tobacco on North
Carolina markets during. July aggre-
gated gallo pounds compared with
134663 pounds sold during July, 1914.
July is one of the last months of the
tobacco year and the sales are always
way down compared with the sales in
other months. Indeed, large numbers
of the best markets in the state are
closed during the month. The big
gest sales during the month just clos
ed were on the Fairmont market,
1888 pounds being sold. Fair Bluff
was second with 21O,5O8 pounds.
There were sales on only two other
markets, Whiteville, s3,431 and Reds
vile, 1858 pounds. By September 1
the new year for the tobacco markets
will have opened and sales will again
begin to mount far in the hundreds
of thousands of dollars each month.
Information coming to the state de-
partment Of agriculture is that the
tobacco crop generally is very good
and that there is every Indication that
the crop will be of that texture that
is best calculated to cure well in the
barns. 1t is expected that the crop in
this state will somewhat exceed that

HAD THE LAUGH ON HIMSELF
Miser Got Away With the Oatmeal
and Also Succeeded in Saving
Precious Whisky.

J. F. Hartz of Detroit, the doyen of
the American Surgical Trade associa-
ton, said at the fiftieth annual con
vention in New York:
The war has kited the price of car
bolic acid up to $1.65 a pound-it sold
before the war at 9 cents a pound. The
hospitals that use carbolic acid now
have to be as economical and sparing
as old Josh Lee.
odd Josh Lee was a miser, and he
breakfasted every morning on oat-
meal. To save fuel he cooked his
weeks supply of oatmeal on Sundays.
This supply, by the time Saturday
came around, was pretty stiff and
tough and hard to down.
One Saturday morning old Josh
found his oatmeal particularly unap-
petizing. 1t had a crust on it like
iron. He took a mouthful of the cold,
stiff mixture-then he half rose, think
ing he'd have to cook himself some
eggs.
But he hated to give in. He hated
to waste that oatmeal. So he took
out the whisky bottle, poured a gen
erous glass and setting it before his
plate he said:
Now, Josh, if you eat that oatmeal
you'll get this whisky; and if you
don't you won't
The oatmeal was hard to consume,
but Josh, with his eye on the whisky,
managed it. Then, when the last
spoonful was gone, he grinned broad
ly, poured the whisky back into the
bottle again, and said:
Josh, my son, fooled you that
time, you old idiot!'" - Washington

Cotton Loss Thirteen Millions.

The cotton states are weathering
the storm brought by the European
war, but the financial loss because OF
the drop in cotton values is tremen-
dous. The difference in the estimates
in the value of the exports of last
year and the year before, is about 1886,
100000. That means loss of not less
than $13, 100000 in cotton money to
North Carolina. Some of this loss
mas made up in the Increased value of
corn, wheat and other foodstuffs, and
horses and mules, but not enough to
balance up.
The situation is revealed in the fig
ures for June, 1915 and June, 1914 !;
the exports for last June amounted
to 323,14O bales and the year before
$3.50, but the value of the exports
for last June was but $15,844, 1862
against $S1,721, 444 for the previous
June.
For the II months ending June
1915 the exports of cotton totaled
S,426,237 bales against 9,165,030 for
1914 with a value of 76,214,487
against s61O,446,9 1868, making a differ
ence of S234,232,4S1.
The South has been hit a stagger-
ing blow. Nothing has been SO disas'
trous to it since the Civil War.

Special from Washington-The de-

bill-poster campaign against the cat
tie tick in the south. In every fed
eral building throughout the tick
ridden territory colored posters cry
ing dip the tick" will greet the call
er. dip the tick signs will hang in
postomces, customs buildings and
elsewhere. The purpose is to get rid
of the little pest that causes the south
an annual loss of $5O,OOO,OOO.
Dip the tick!' is the slogan which
the department has adopted for a
special campaign against the cattle
tick in the SOUTH said a bulletin is
sued this week. "Blazoned in big let
tiers this legend will stand out in
startling relief upon a twO-cOlOr pos
ter which the department proposes to
display in every postoffice in the tick
infested country. 1t is intended to
make this catch phrase as familiar
and as effective in the South as the
now famous slogan swat the fly"
''This poster is one Of several novel
features which the department is to
employ to push it's work for the
eradication of the pest that costs the
south $5O,OOOOOO year Various
circulars and leaflets, profusely illus
trated with half-tones, cartoons and
diagrams, are being prepared to drive
home to the farmer the damage the
tick is doing and to preach the doc
trine of the arsenical dip. Some of
all of them have more in common
with the attractive circulars used by
wide awake commercial firms in
pushing their goods than with the
quiet and often austere bulletins that
ordinarily come from the government
press"
Twenty-Five counties in eastern
North Carolina are tick infested.
One does not realize how impor-
tant the campaign just begun is I'M
til he knows that the entire south,
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, is
involved. A small section of Virginia
is infected, one-fourth of North Caro-

Georgia and Florida, most of Ala
bama, Louisiana, Arkansas and Tex
as, one-half of Mississippi, and a
little less than half Of Oklahoma, and
