DELAY DATE Of
RAIL INCREASES
Advance Charges Postponed
From August 20 to Five
Days Later.

Washington, Aug. Anew freight
rates and passenger fares will be
made effective Aug. 26, instead of
Aug. 20 for passenger fares, and
Aug. Is for freight tariffs, railroad
officials announced last night,
At the same time it was announced
that the American railroads would
ask the Canadisn railway commits
sioners for permission to make the
new rates effective on transportation
from the United States to the do
mion.
Decision is to postpone the putting
into effect of the advance charge
authorized last Saturday by the in
ferstate- commerce commission from
the dates announced Monday, was
reached last night after tariff ex-
perts of the carriers had Informed
Alfred P. Thorn, general counsel for
the association of railway executives,
that it would be impossible to have
the blanket schedules ready before
Aug. FL. Under the orders of the
commission, the new schedule must
be filed five days before they be-
come effective.
Application of the new schedule
to transportation to Canada Off
Gals say will mean that shippers will
pay freight charges under the new
tariff, unless the shipment passes
through more than one group be-
fore crossing the lire, in which case
the inter-tcrritorial rate, which is
to be advanced tfirty-three and one
third per cent, would apply.
Canadian railways, it was said,
will apply to the interstate com
merce commission for authority to
make the new charges effective on
transportation from the dominion
into the United States.

STEEP ADVANCE
IN WHEAT PRICE.

Chicago, Aug. 3-Wheat made
steep advance in price today as a re-
suit of increased speculative buying
stimulated by European war talk.
In a little more than a single hour
an extreme upward swing of Is
cents a bushel had taken place,
March delivery touching $3.50, as
against $2.15 at yesterdays finish.
Later the market jumped still
higher and before midday had
delivery reaching a top level Of
$2.39 ga compared with $2.13k
at yesterdays close. Then a set
back of more than 6 cents ensued.
Something like Old-time spirit was
shown in the pit, with transactions
at much lvelier rate than has
been the rule since business in fu-
ture deliveries was resumed. The
number of brokers participating,
however, was yet numbered only in
dozens and not in hundreds.

TOBACCO GROWERS
HERE WEDNESDAY

The district chairmen of the To-
bacco Growers Association met
here Wednesday for a conference
with Mr.. Ewing, who came in on the
noon train. The conference was for
the purpose Of closing finally the
contract with F. G. Ezell & Co. of
Dresden to prize the 1919 crop now
in the hands of the farmer, the con-
tract being closed.
The rate to be paid by the grower
is 1.5O per 100 pounds of leaf to-
bacco, which included both pricing
and insurance charges. The grower
to get this assistance, carrying with
it a SO per cent value of the crop
where required, must sign a pledge
to sell his tobacco through the asso-
citation for the next three years.
This seems to be entirely satisfactO-
~ with a majority of the growers.
In fact, no opposition has been
heard.
A meeting of the growers will be
held here in Dresden on the first
Monday in September. Chairman
Walter Gray states he is very anx-
ious to get in touch with some grow
er in both Nos. 1S and II who will
aid in organizing thOse districts.
SPLENDID progress is being made to-
ward getting the growers sign the
pledge, with especially fine reports
from Nos. 8, 5 and 10.

WHAT COUNTY,
PUBLICITY MEANS

Countrywide publicity, as afford
ed Enterprise advertisers, means
much to the merchants and business
men who patronize the Enterprise
advertising columns. 1t means that
these merchants and business men
are going after the trade of the citi.
zens of the entire county-and5 it
means bigger volume of business,
which always carries with it lower
margin Of profit.
Thus both dealer and purchaser
are benefited. The dealer sells
more goods and the purchaser,
through an increased volume of bus
mess, buy for less.
Countrywide publicity, such as is
given Enterprise advertisers, is not
offered in every instance. The cir
culation of most papers is local, but
that of the Enterprise is general
throughout the county. The list of
new and renewal subscribers be-
low. which is short this week, is for
the past week up to Thursday
