nuILDING IN NORTH CAROLINA.

RALEIGH. y. c.. February la-The
building operations In North Carolina
since the first Of the year have been
large and extensive IN the smaller
towns. where the people have a habit
Of getting busy soon after tho holiday
festivities have come to an end. From
these towns. for obvious reasons, there
are no reports except those Of gen
cral character, and these do not go
into details In the larger towns and
cities something OF a record Is kept.
Here in Raleigh permits were issued
for immediate building operations TO
the amount Of only about $4,000 for
the month just closed. but it is un-
derstood that all of these were hurry
jobs and that the real builders are
holding off for the spring weather be-
fore commencing operations.
Greensboro seems to be in the same
waiting condition and the January per-
mits asked for there amounted TO not
over $4,000. In Winston Salem forty
permits were granted In the month OF
January. and these represent an ex-
penditurc of something close to $780,
600. This shows an increase of per-
mits. as compared with the same month
Of 1914 OF seven permits and an In
crease in the cost of buildings OF about
$4,000. Charlotte shows UP equally
as we'll as Winston-Salem, and Will
mington comes In as good third in
the matter Of building.

HAMPTON, VA. February 10
Hampton people read the papers. and
that is how they happen TO know about
tho dullness and the depression In the
country caused by the war In Europe
and some other things. They see none
Of that depression here. Business has
been good all tile winter. and the in
dustries OF the town are going right
ahead. There are very few idle men
in Hampton-non, In fact, except
those who prefer to be idle. The oyster
and fish Industries never did Il better
business than they have done this sea-
son. and the crab factories have been
busy all the time. The banks-and no
town OF its size in the State has better
ana stronger hanks-show by their
books that all manner OF business has
been good. President t;roome. OF the
Bank OF Hampton, the oldest and larg-
est financial institution on the PENN

not been struck by the business de-

Bradley Wilson, OF greensboro, who for

OF Kentucky tobacco growers, both in

is here comforting with Secretary
l.ucien Beckner, of the Burley Tobacco

Growers Association, OF the Green

1t is his idea that there should be n
Statewide organization for the regula-

bacco. He AYERS that the large to-
bacco manufacturers are using much
of the dark tobacco at a cheaper price
in the manufacture of certain brands OF
tobacco wherein hurley was formerly
used, and that In this way they are
playing off one section OF the State
against the other and keeping the sell
