HIGH SCHOOL BAND
PLAYSAT WILSON
Will Take Part in Tobacco
Festival Parade There
Thursday

The Henderson high school band
will go to Wilson on Thursday of this
week to participate in the big parade
on that day in connection with the
second annual tobacco festival being
held there this week. The band was
invited to participate.
This musical organization, formed
in the high school year before last,
has attained a high degree of per-
lection under the training of A. T.
Hearne, its director. Last spring it
marched in the parade at Rocky
Mounts Gallopade celebration, and
has appeared on a number of oc-
casions locally.
Citizens who have had opportunity
to hear the band from time to time
have marvelled at the excellence of
the work of the young musicians.
Frequently during commencement
last May and at different times dur
ing the last school year the band has
given numbers and on two occasions
appeared in concerts of it's own at the
high school auditorium.
There are some Is or more boys of
the high school in the musical organi-
ZatlOn. Last year lOi Tie 1lISL tlHle
they appeared in uniforms, and made
a good impression. They played for
football games during the fall, and
furnished music in the parade early
in May in connection with the Ma
tional Youth Week program, at which
Governor Hoey was the principal
speaker.
All of the boys are local youths, and
members of the high school student
body, except a few who are in the
junior high school,

SIZE Of TOBACCO
CROP TO Be LESS
Recent Predictions OF To-
bacco Men Borne Out
In Federal Report

Those tobacco men whe several
weeks ago expressed doubt as to the
accuracy of government reports at
that time as to the size of the 1888
flue-cured tobacco crop have had
their doubts confirmed in further
Federal-State Crop Reporting Service
forecasts at the end of the week.
These latest figures gave North Caro-
llna's 1888 leaf crop as 53O,65O,OOO
pounds, based on August 1 condition.
This was an eleven percent decrease
from last year, the report said. How
ever, the indicated yield was 10 per-
cent above the ten-year average pro-
duction.
Growers reports indicated a yield
of 837 pounds per acre, 81 pounds UNI
der last years good yield" but st
pounds above the past 1O-year aver
age.
The report was released by the
state department of agriculture.
Officials said that the acreage for
harvest this year was expected to to-
tai $4,000, a decrease of 6 per cent
1O-year average.
'DeSplL6 n1uCn duVSISc WCdIAOI Ills
season." the report stated, "the to-
bacco crop as who is turning out
we'll. The wet weather conditions of
June and July were generally accept
ed as being unfavorable for this
years tobacco yield and quality. How
ever, the August 1 reports from grow
ers indicate that both the yield and
quality are not only better than ex-
pected but are almost as good as last
years extra good CROP"
The reports by belts follow:
Old bright belt type 1D-acreage.
$4,000; yield 300 pounds, production
1919, 100000 pounds or 5 percent less
than 1887
New bright belt(type 12)-acreage,
$4,000 yield, $50 pounds; production,
263,OOOOO pounds or IA per cent less
than 1887.
South Carolina belt (type 49,
acreage $4,000; yield, 900 pounds; pro-
duction, 59,40O,OOO pounds or II per
cent less than 1887.
Burley belt (type 3D-acreage, g.
900; yie,d, $50 pounds; production, s.
$50 600 pounds, or per cent less than

Capital Gossip
BY HENRY AvERILL

Raleigh, Aug 15.-At the close of
the extra session, State senators w.
B. ROdman, Jr., of Beaufort county,
and H. p. TaYlor, from Arson, were
still leading r. cog bilities to head the
Senate's two most important commit
tees for the 1889 session.
In view of the leading part he play
ed on that group in 1887, Rodman
with Taylor being assigned appropria
tons.
Neither E. V. Webb, finance, nor
James A. Bell, appropriations chair
men of 1887, will be back, neither
standing for denomination in the pri-
mary voting.
Likewise there was nothing to dis
turb. those who hold the opinion that
w. Erskine Smith, of Stanly. will be
president pro tenn of the 1889 Senate.
On the other side of the Capitol
building, nothing can be predicted
about the various chairmanships, as
the speakership fight which will de-
termine them hasn't yet been settled.
One prediction which was freely
made is that members of the 1887 fin
ance committee who return in 1889
will vote for their 1887 chairman,
Victor Bryant, for speaker while
members of the appropriations group
will do the same for Libby Ward,
their 1887 chief.
One exception can be forecast, how
ever Bill Fenner, third speakership
candidate, was member of finance.
The extra session indicated definite
ly two issues which will be fought out
in the 1889 regular assembly, election
law reform and a power lobby" fight
on new revenue bond act.
Advocates of outright repeal of the
absentee ballot law were stopped in
their tracks by the gag" rule adopted
early last week. Opponents of the So
called power interests" were forced
to swallow a modified certificate of
convenience and necessity" clause in
the 1899 revenue bond act.
| Both these groups will be in there
swinging in 1889, with the chances
strongly against any real, bone fide
success for either.

REVEAL QUOTAS ON
TOBACCO THURSDAY
Flue-Curcd Growers To
Know in Few Days How
Much They Can Sell

Tobacco marketing quotas for their
1888 crop will be received by North
Carolina ffae-cured growers about
August 49, Thursday of this week, ac-
cording to announcement by E. Y.
Floyd, AAA executive officer at N. c..
State College. So far this summer
farmers have been selling their leaf
with preliminary marketing cards, SO
that they would not have to pay the
tax of one-half the sac price or three
cents a pound, whichever is higher.
The AAA administrator advises
farmers who had sold all the pound
age allotted on their preliminary
cards to continue selling their leaf
letting the warehousemen deduct the
tax from their checks. "Then, when
they get their regular cards, the farm
ers can collect the money that the
warehouse will have held out" Floyd
said. This can be done by showing
their regular cards to the AlAA men
who are stationed at the ware
houses"
Those growers who have more high
quality leaf than they can sell tax
free under the quota assigned, Floyd
explained, should buy part of the
quota of another farmer. If grow
er has an excess of low quality leaf.
however, cit will be just as cheap, o.
cheaper, to pay the tax"
Floyd admonished those who do
not buy any extra poundage from
some grower who does not have
enough tobacco to use up II of his
quota to sell the best tobacco on
their card as long as it lasts. and
leave only the lower grades to be

The season there is expected to end

Sales are heavy on the North Caro-

good prices for their weed.
