First Prince of Wales
Named 600 Years Ago

Since the title prince of Wales was
created by Edward I, in the year
1901, for his eldest son, there have
been 20 princes of Wales, including
the men who afterward became
Edward VII, George v and Edward
VIII. The late George v became
prince Of Wales when his father sue
eeeded to the throne in 1901. The
title may be bestowed on the eldest
surviving son of the monarch, or on
his grandson if he is the nearest
heir. 1t is not inherited but is ex-
tinguished when the holder Of the
title becomes king or il he dies
before the ruler.
Wales was ruled by Welsh princes
from the Tenth to the Thirteenth
century. The last Of these was
Llewelyn, who was compelled to
submit to Edward l in 1877. On
Llewelyn's death in 1882 the title
ceased but Edward revived it for
his eldest surviving son and heir,
later Edward II. According to
legend, King Edward / in conquer
ing Wales promised the people that
If they ceased resistance he would
give them native-born prince who
could not speak word Of English.
Two years after Llewelyn's death,
this son Of Edward I was born in
Carnarvon in Wales. It was not
until 1901, however, that the title
was bestowed on him and by that
time he could certainly speak Eng
lish.

The Roosevelt resolution, which
described the President as that
peerless humanitarian, unfaltering
friend of mankind, that genius of
Americanism and democracy" set
off a demonstration in the conven-
ton hall, in spite of sweltering heat.
Another resolution put the Young

RALEIGH, N. c., Sept. 9.-The
European war and subsequent with
drawal Of British buyers caused
Carolina tobacco growers and
warehousemen today to decide to
suspend tobacco auction sales for
an indefinite period.
During that time agricultural
leaders will study the desirability
of an immediate referendum on
control OF the 1910 crop.
Due to a bumper crop tobacco
prices were lower at the opening
of the 1889 sales season few weeks
ago than they were a year ago.
Since then they have dropped stead

sales begin on the eight markets

Inc old belt, which includes mar
kets in both North Carolina and
Virginia, probably will not open

co men said.
Decision to shut down the mar
kets was reached today at a con-
ference of j. S. Ficklen of Green
vile, president Of the Tobacco As
sociation of the United States, and
a committee representing growers,
Warehousemen and A. A. A. officials.
The conference was precipitated
by the withdrawal of buyers of the
Imperial Tobacco Co. of Great
Britain from the market until fur

Imperial buys about 35 per cent of
the better grades of tobacco in the
