WEED MARKETSOF
GEORGIA. TO CLOSE
Season To End Next Friday
Except for Few Scatter
ed Warehouses

With prices continuing at high
clip, the 1896 tobacco season in Geor-
gia will come to a close next Friday,
with the exception of a few ware
houses here and there to take care
Of late offerings.
Most of the crop has already been
sold, according to reports from the
belt, and the crop, trifle larger than
that of last season, has seen the most
profitable season in the Georgia'S
markets history. Through last Friday,
according to reports, the revenue to
growers had already exceeded the
$13,582, 912.71 brought in by the 1885
crop. Reports of the first two weeks
sales showed $13,621, $40 paid for S.
657 752 pounds. In 1885 a total of H.
826,352 pounds were sold for the sea-
son. Estimates have placed this years
crop at around 100000 pounds.
While the final week of the season
is not expected to see averages as
high as for the hest part of the short
season, good leaf is still commanding
fancy prices.

OFF $3.50, 696. IL For Roads
Claim Filed With State Co mmttee Friday 500 696 IL
Based on Two Miles of aving and Widening of
Garrett Street Extensi ons; Interest Charged

Refunds of a total of $3.50 696.12 are
asked OF the State of North Carolina
in the petition filed with the special
committee recently named by Cover
nor Ehringhaus as part of claims by
counties all over the State for work
done on highways taken over by the
State Highway and Public Works Com
mission, it was announced today by
Chairman Samuel M. Watkins of the
Vance. Board of County Commission
erS.
The petition was prepared by B. H.
Perry, county attorney, and was filed
late last week, Mr.. Watkins announc-
ed today
There were two separate claims.
Claim A is for $89,696.12 for hard
surface pavement extending a mile
from the city limits on the Dabney
and Epson highways, built some ten
years ago. This item includes $28,228.-
SO for the work on the Dabney road
and $21, 299.12 for that on the EPSON
road, extending beyond the city limits
on Andrews avenue to the fork of the
roads beyond the fair grounds An
additional four percent, of $1,981.12 is
asked as engineers fees, making g
total of $51, 5O9.21, and to this is added
$33,636 in interest from September 1
1924, the date of the bond issue, to
September 1, 1896. Included also is ar
item of $4,55O.91 covering the cost OF
widening the western end of Garnet
street to the full width of a street
though beyond the city limits.
Claim B covers the cost of soil roads
taken over by the State, and amounts
to $270,OOO.
There is little expectation of getting
the latter item, although it wa
thought wise to include it, SO that the
claim would be in if the State SHOULD
go beyond the hard-surface highway
