TOBACCO PRICES
CONTINUE WEAK

FLORENCE, S. c., Sept. L.
Weakness in prices that began last
week on South Carolina and North
Carolina border belt hue-cured
tobacco markets continued through
out this week as majority OF
grades were steady to 81 lower.
Most of the losses were In medium
and lower qualities.
The blocked condition that be-
gan opening week has continued
for the fifth consecutive week.
The congested situation on ware
house floors has resulted in an
unusually large volume Of damag-
ed and bleached tobacco.
Blocked conditions now existing
are expected to be somewhat re-
moved during next weeks sales
and marketings are expected to be
much better if cool, dry weather
such as prevailed this week con-
tinues.
The general quality of tobacco
offered was slightly lower than
last week and the poorest of the
season. This was due principal
ly to an increase in the proportion
of low and common leaf and dam
aged tobacco marketed.
There was a corresponding de-
crease in percentage of better
qualities. Bulk of sales consisted
chiefly of good to common leaf
and smoking leaf and good to low
cutters and Jugs.
Gross sales for the week amount
ed to 46, 062,656 pounds at an av-
erage of $43.47, decline of $1.06
from last week. Season sales have
amounted to 1874, 401. 209 pounds at
an average of $44,42. On basis of
July l crop estimate, this years
crop is about 80 per cent market

No sales will be held Monday,
as Labor Day will be observed by
all markets.

Nov let us set aside VJ-Day as
one of renewed conservation to the
principles which have made us the
strongest nation on earth nd which
in this war, we have striven SO

These principles do not make all

the president said, but they ''pro-
vide the faith, the hope, and the
opportunity which help men to i'm
prove themselves and their lot"
The president tcharted the future
in these words:
america can build for itself
future of employment and security.
Together with the United Nations,
it can build world of peace found

tolerance -.
From this day we move for

CAROLINA POWER
BEGINS EXPANSION

RALEIGH, Sept. 1.-R- The
Carolina Power and Light Com
pany said today construction had
been started on it's $4,000, 900 rural
expansion program calling 1Or O.
400 miles of new lines to serve
about 1000 new customers.
L. v. Sutton Of Raleigh, presi.
dent of the company, said the ex-
pansien program in rural areas
probably would reach 5000 miles
of new line by the end of 1946. The
proposed new lines are scattered
throughout the company's territory
covering part of North and South
Carolina.
The $1,000. 900 rural program will
require 10000 poles, more than g.,
600, 900 pounds of wire, and about
10000 transformers. CONSTRUCTION
will proceed as material and man
power becomes available, Sutton
said.
The present program is one o.
the most extensive ever undertaken
by the company, Sutton said. Priol
to 1885 the company had construct
ed 1870 miles of rural lines, serv
ing 12,340 customers. During tn,
period from June, 1885 to the be

story of design is constantly re-
peated story Of simple classic real
ism with emphasis on scale and
proportion and form, progressing to
a little more ornamentation, then to
still more ornamentation, and final
Ily to Recommendation, climaxed
once more by reaction back to the
simple, the plain. OF course, each
period interprets these different
sequences according to particular
taste and needs, but there Is an
inevitability about the cycles to
which the modern style belongs.
But at the same time we won't be
discarding traditional furniture any
more than we'll be discarding tradi-
tional music or literature. Truly it

we shoulder could-erase all of
the past from the pageant of the

now when man has the facilities to
know, understand and share the
thoughts and achievements of the
past, that there are those who ad-
wise us to choose to live in world
barren of all but the accomplish
ments of our own narrow span.
But, of course, only few theorists
would deny us the versatile riches
of the times we live in. The trul"
