Mr. Austin Tells of N.
C. Tobacco Markets
Richlands, N. c.,
Mr.. w. R. Lyon,
Hrna,,,a,,,l1o Toa,

Mr.. w. R. Lyon,
Greeneviile, Tenn,
Dear Mr.. WILL
Tobacco is not bringing the enor-
nous price it did last year. but the
medium and good grades TO tobacco
are selling well, and it Is still bring
ing enough to make it profitable to
the growers.
Believe it would be d good idea IL
you would caution the tobacco grow
ers in our section not to cut the to-
bacco until it is ripe, and by all means
not to crowd it in their barns, but to
give it plenty of room so it Won't
"house burn" And.if they are hang
ing their tobacco in shed where part
of it is open, and the tobacco is ex-
posed to the weather, it will material
ly damage the quality of the tobacco.
There is going to be so much dif-
ference between what the good and
common tobaccos bring, that it will
pay the farmers to exercise every
care in taking care of their tobacco.
Our section of country has always
had the reputation of raising good
tobacco, and it COMPARES favorably
with any entucky Burley; but our
growers have never been as particu-
lar in the grading and tieing of their
tobacco as the Kentucky farmers are,
and this is going to be one year when
it will pay the farmers more than ever
to grade their tobacco close and tie
It neat. In this way it will show up to
better advantage on the warehouse
doors and bring them more money. "
Yours,
CLYDE B. AUSTIN,

Auto Accidents
Increasing Rapidly

CHICAGO, Sept. t6.-(By Inter
national News Service. with sta
tistics showing that automobile ac-
cidents are killing men, women and
children at an average of one every
thirty-five minutes, the Ninth Annual
Safety Council, at its sessions in Mil
waukee September 81 to October l
will devote much attention to this
serious situation.
In st. Louis, Cleveland. and other
cities local councils Of the National
Safety Councils have already reduced
the number of automobile accidents
hv the united efforts Of public Of
ficiais. civic organizations and pub
lic-spirited citizens, and it is planned
to make the work nationwide il

s. ]. Williams, secretary and chic
engineer Of the National Safety Cour
ell. is authority for the statement tha
three times as many are killed in
public accidents as in all industr'
accidents, including railroads, min
public utilities, construction wo
etc.. as well as factories. Accord
to present indications and the
perience of past years, the number
of automobile fatalities in 1920 will
be about two-thirds of all industrial
fatalities. This sitcet'oa IS o'a~'N
ing enough without exaggeration. TIE
most alarming feature of it is that,
while Industrial accidents have been
decl easing, due to the energetic safe
ty work of the large industrial CON-
panies which are members of the
National Safety Council, and while
the public accidents on steam and
electric railroads have been decreas-
ing as result of similar work, the |
number Of automobile accidents has
been increasing very rapidly. Fig

Safety Council by the statistical de-
partment of large life insurance

The Highway Trailer ball team will
represent Edgerton baseball enthusiasts
during the coming season. 1t is our
team; they are going out to win, and
Edgerton is going to stand back of
them and give them full and generous
backing. Batter up! A schedule for
the season is arranged, and Edgerton,
which in the past has been used to
pretty fine baseball, is going to have a
series of games that is classy in every
sense of the word. The team has or
ganized by choosing Gerald Whitford,
captain, and Ben Smith, manager. The
battery is Harold Slime, pitcher, and,
probably, Nordal Guinness, catcher.
Other men will, of course, work in as
the season developes; there is material
enough of the right sort. Old reliable
Sutton will look for hummers coming
his way, and equally good men will
complete the infield. The outfeld will
see the boys of last year in their usual
positions Whitford, Williams and Ire
vorrah. The first practice game was
put on last Sunday. If the field is in
shape there will be crossing of bats
with the Beloit nine Sunday, May 9th.
The line of old fans is waiting for the
chance to show the home team some
real war music when the time comes.
