Credit for Benefit Game

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Kindly allow me the use of few lines in your valuable paper. I must make a few recommendations upon one to whom many are due, believing it is bet ter to pass the bouquets now than later.
 In the success of the recent baseball game between the U. C. T. and the T. P. A. may be seen the directing hand of one well qualified to make a success of such an undertaking.
 1 refer to the manager of the affair. Charles F.. Abrams. It was in his brain that the idea of benefit ball game was born and possessing sufficient executive ability he put his orga nization into such splendid form that there was not one hitch in the whole proceedings nor loop hole left for any criticism.
 Full credit is due the man whose pri- mary thought was an act to do something for his fellow man, letting the matter of time, labor and cost be second consider ation. He was ably seconded by some of the finest fellows in the profession and the players to man did their part nobly and well.
 As past grand counselor of the U. c. T., I can say that the organization is proud of having as member such splendid fellow as Charlie Abrams, as may well the T.P. A. be proud of his membership in their organization also.
 His many friends All over the state will feel proud of his successful effort, as we'll as to the successful ending of so worthy cause.
 All hail to Charlie Abrams, unselfish citizen, star salesman and prince of good fellows GEO. M. PLAISANcE.

The rains were not disastrous west of Durham. In the mountain region no tobacco worth speaking of is now grown. Attempts were made to grow it about 30 years ago, but the cold caught the crop so often that it was abandoned, and in some places the leaf warehouses were turned into the cabbage trade. which is important in the extreme west. In the greatest bright-leaf area, from Durham to the sea coast, many ware houses and stemmeries have been built this year. At Rocky Mount the China American Trading and Tobacco com pany is building s300,000 plant. with storage for 1000 hogsheads of leaf. This company Is to have two other plants in the south. It's stemmeries at Rocky Mount will be of great dimensions. and it's drying houses of such size that they can handle 10000 pounds every 10 hours.

the exchange report The exchange sell ing cost, however. is lower than it was 10 years ago due to larger volume, and the cost of marketing oranges and lem ons through the exchange has been re- duced to a point where 1t is lower than the cost of selling any other perishable food crop.
 Selling costs for the last year averaged five and two-tenths cents box, or only one and four hundredths per cent of the fruits delivered value. Large increases Tn the California lemon and summer orange crops are predicted for the next few years. Newspaper and magazine advertis- ing is given much of the credit for keep ing the use of oranges and lemons ahead of the rapid increases in productions.

H. Stallworth has been working sometime on the hotel proposition, but it is understood additional frontage was needed and the fire risk too great with the old hotel building in tact.

L.. epidemic struck Monroeville with full force, and the threatened in vestigation by the department of jus tice is expected to reduce prices in a number of lines.
