THAT it is again approaching the flood

foot from the flood stage.
Tuesday afternoon at 6 o'clock the
river had dropped to eleven feet,
which is the lowest it has been in t
past week. At o'clock Wednesday

by 12 o'clock it had reached the 1871

.ASHBURN'S MARKET
HAS FINE OPENING
Average of zoe Per Pound is Paid at
Opening Sale; Growers Re-
ceive $16,3s4.

Ashburn, July 22.--With the sale of
| $500 pounds of bright tobacco grown
! in Turner and surrounding counties
| at an average price of twenty cents,
the payment of s16,384 in cash to the
| growers, the opeing day of the Ash
| burn tobacco market proved a success
| and the permanence of the new agri
! cultural and commercial industry in
| this section is now assured. The mag
nifcient new warehouse, erected by
| the Ashburn Tobacco Warehouse Com
pany and operated by w. e. Fenner,
an experienced warehouse man Of
| Rocky Mount, N. c., was crowded with
| growers from fifteen counties at the
opening of the sale. Buyers repre-
] senting twenty of the leading tobacco
houses of the country were on hand
| and the general level of prices proved
| most satisfactory to the growers.
Prior to last year, when sixty acres
WClS PluuCSu, ~ LOUdCCO Was grown III
Turner county. The results from these
sixty acres weer so remunerative, de-
spite the fact that the tobacco had to
! be sold at distant points, there being
no market at Ashburn, that this year
three thousand acres nterritory trad
ing with Ashburn were planted in to-
bacco.
,Ashburn business men Immediately
saw the necessity of providing a To-
cal market. The Southern Railway,
through its agricultural department,
gave the services of. Tobacco Agent
j. L. Ring, who advised that thi ssec-
tion has peculiar advantages of soil
and climate that makes it ideal for
the growing of bright tobacco So en-
thusiastic was Mr.. Ring that he has
himself gone into tobacco growing on
a large scale in this section and his
advice has been of value to other
growers.
The Ashburn Board of Trade, Of.
which DR.. G. c. Mckenzie is president,
decided to push the tobacco develop
ment and secured the services of r.
O. McCord as secretary and farm

bers organized the Ashburn Tobacco
Warehouse Company, having put
twenty thousand dollars in the con-
struction of it's warehouse. Mr.. Fen
ner is familiar with every detail of
the tobacco business and has large
oca"tr in Virginia and North Care

Ashburn by reason of the bright pros
