said it saves shippers a lot of

railroad picks up the freight at

Double sales were carried on from
the start, with the fastest selling
warehouse floors here have seen in
many day.
The opening was attended by great
crowds of growers and business peo-
pie, all eager to see first hand what
the prices would be and to get de-
finite, reliable indication of what
might be expected in the way of aver
ages for the season.
It was evident from the start that
prices were far above last years
opening, when the first day saw 49,
1872 pounds disposed of for $85, 1864,
at an average of $17.62 per hundred
pounds.
A calculation on actual figures for
the first row sold in one of the ware
houses with first sales showed 43
piles handled with an aggregate Of
2,942 pounds, which brought $737 25
for an average of $25O6 per hundred.
The highest price paid for any pile
on that first row was As cents. There
were several piles above 40 cents and
a great many between 30 and 40
cents. One pile of 76 pounds sold
for one cent per pound, but there were
few piles under ten cents.
Good cigarette leaf was in good de-
mand and brought fancy prices. Very
| little scrap and trashy tobacco was
| observed on sale at any of the ware
| houses.
Crowds gathered around the sales
crews as the hour for the start ap-
preached, but made way for the auc-
tioneers, buyers and warehousemen
when the sing-song chanting of the
| auctioneers began. Only a few piles
had been bid in by buyers when it
became evident that prices were going
! to be a great deal higher than at last
years opening.
| Refreshments stands made their ap-
| pearance in all of the warehouses to-
day for the first time, and did a
good business. Streets were thronged
as visitors and townfolk jostled each
other in hurrying to and fro to get
| to warehouse floors or back from
them to their places of business.
Everywhere, both in and out of the
warehouses, were groups looking over
samples of tobacco that had been sold
or discussing prices that had been
| paid. There was general agreement
that averages we're away up from
1885 and were very pleasing, and held
promise of prosperous season for
the growers and for the community
if there were no decline as the season
progresses.
There was no possibility of obtain
ing official figures on the days sales
before late tonight or tomorrow morn
ing, but on every hand there was a
feeling that the average would be
safely above the 25-cent level.

Uruguay TO
Break With
SbamiardS

Montevideo, Uruguay, Sept. ~
(AP)-Uruguay angered by the re-
ported execution of the sisters OF a
Uruguayan diplomat in Madrid, sew
cred relations with Spain today.
The diplomatic break was announc-
ed following a cabinet meeting, which
considered dispatches describing the
alleged killing of Dolores Consuclo
and Maria Aguiar, sisters of Monte
vdeo's consul in the Spanish capital.
The reported killings, government
sources held, demonstrated the Mad
rid administration could not control
the actions of it's militia.
The reports to the foreign Minis
try stated the sisters were executed
by government militiamen.
The reports to Montevideo indicat-
ed the sisters disappeared eight days
ago. Their fate was a mystery until
Yesterday when, a Uruguayan Off
cal statement said, their bodies were
found with those of other persons
executed by the militia.

Raleigh, Sept. 22-Most of the
western counties in the State, espe-
cially the industrial counties which
at times have been considered as very
close and likely to go Republican in
almost any election, will vote heavily
for President Roosevelt in the No
vember election, according to those
familiar with the political situation
in many of these counties interviewed
by this correspondent the past week.
For while it is agreed that a good
many mill owners and factory execu-
tives will undoubtedly vote for Gov
ernor Landon rather than for Rose
welt for President, most Of those con-
that the employees of these mills and
factories will vote almost solidly for
Roosevelt.
In the rural sections of many of
these close western counties it Is also
agreed that many of the farmers and
mountaineers who are usually Re
publican are going to vote for Presi-
dent Roosevelt in the November cleo
ton, while some Of them are expect
ed to go all the way over and vote
the State Democratic ticket as well
as the National Democratic ticket.
The reason given for this change of
attitude in many of these mountain
counteis is that the farmers are con-

Blacky didn't reply to this. He

Town Hall
BY JOHN BLAKE.

IN NEW YORK'S Town Hall, and in
many other places, people have
begun to gather and talk It is
L not idle talk. 1t consists of dis
cussions about present-day problems
which exist all over the country. And
it is just about the best tonic you can
find.
When the people are interested in
their country, their country is safe.
Demagogues will rail vainly. self-seek-
ing politicians will cease from trou-
bling.
Don't get it into your head that
Congress is composed of a lot of people
who have jobs and are trying to get
better ones. If you have ever spent a
few days listening to the proceedings
Of Congress, you will find that there
are some foolish people among legis-
lators, but that the majority Of the
members think and work, and try as
hard as they can to improve matters.

These people are proud Of their jobs

spend their time in log rolling.

sincere and desirous to help needful
legislation on its way. was a con-
gressional reporter from time to time,
and it is my conviction, from what I
saw in the committee rooms, that the
greatest number of the members were
proud of their jobs, and eager to do
as well as they could.
There are still political bosses, 1t is
true. There are still play-boys in Con-
gress, and there is still sprinkhng Of
dumb bells. That cannot be helped.
But, by and large, the country gets
about what it ought to have in the way
of Representatives and Senators, and
with every term there is noticeable
improvement.
Write often to your lawmakers.
Through you they find out what the
country needs. And most of them are
more than willing to do what you want
them to do, If they can only find out
what that Is.
Don't worry about bosses. The pub
lie ought to be the boss. And it can
be. Above all read the congressional
proceedings in the newspapers. Read
them every day.

BY Dh. JESSE W. oH AoVAS'
MANY persons spend good deal
1sA of time and energy trying to get
the world to like them. Pert< ps
psychologists should study this human
endeavor and make out prescription
which the majority might follow with
success. It occurs to me that the
following suggestions represent q step
In that direction.
l.. Make up your mind that it Is
Just as impossible as it is Improbable
to have every one like you. Don't
overexert yourself on first acquaint-
ance. People who are worth having
as friends are generally little slow
In forming friendships.
2. When you meet q person for the
second, third, or twentieth time, begin
talking about something that person
said to you the last time you met
him. We all like people who help
us feel that what we say is important.
3. Avoid all references to yourself,
your possessions, other acquaintances,
and so on. The moment you call at
tention to your possessions you attract
all the attention to yourself. Most
people are sensitive about being left
out Of the picture. Their reaction is
bound to be negative.
4. Avoid finding fault with others.
The moment you do this you have
demonstrated that you are not the
sort of person who Is willing to take
human nature as you find it. More
lasting friendships have been formed
on the basis Of known and acknowl-
edged weaknesses than on known or
assumed strengths.
