Democracy in North Caroliua is
known from mountain to sea. It is a
name that prompts the average Demo-crat
to begin yelling before he gets
within three blocks of tue place where
the incomparable Bob is to speak. A
court house full of people turned out to
hear him last Wednesday evening, and
for two iiours they listened to one of
the most comprehensive political argu-ments
that ever fell from the lips of a
Campaign speaker in this grand old
state. Mr. Glenn came not as a candi-date,
but simply as a worker in behalf
of the principles he believes right. He
told the audience how he had recently
sacrificed without reserve the fondest
ambition of his life in withdrawing from
the senatorial contest in favor of his
townsman and friend, Hon. C.B. Wat-son,
who claimed the prior right to ap-peal
for preferment at the hands of the
party. Launching into a discussion of
national and state affairs he showed
his wonderful grasp of publicquestious.
Conditions as well as theories came in
for a liberal share of consideration, his
utterances bearing the imprint ofsound
logic and unassailable truth. His
words carried conviction, and there was
not a man present who failed to reali/.e
that inspiration dwelt with thespeaker.
It was good to be there and hear the
truths.about our state history fearlessly
portrayed by a master tongue. It was
good to be there and feel and know
that the proud banner of Democracy
will never trail in the dust so long as
God-fearing men like Bob Glenn are
heard in the party councils. May his
years of usefulness yet be many.

MARKKT REPORT.
The sales on our market for the past
week have been the largest ever known
in the history of the market at this
season of the year, and yesterday's sale
was the largest ever seen in Greensboro
in October. The quality of the leaf
which is being offered Is a good work-ing
tobacco and brings agood a verage
price. Farmers seem to be well pleased
with their prices on all the sales—in
fact, the satisfaction prevailing among
sellers has been remarkable. We
rarely ever see a pile of tobacco taken
in, and in most cases wherever they
are taken in the seller can be satisfied.
We note no special change in prices,
yet on big sales like we have had for
the past week, prices are always some
easier, and with this exception, we re-gard
tobacco selling at about the same
price that it has been for the past
weeks, with an active market on all
grades. Our buyers are getting some-what
crowded in their factories, and
have all they can do to take care of the
sales.
Sales will not be discontinued during
fair week.
Mr. Walter Maxwell sold on this
market last week at an average of$12.70.
Mr. (i. It. Stewart sold on the Greens-boro
market last week at prices ranging
from $ti to $20.
Capt. Forbis was another pleased
seller on this market last Friday, his
prices reached $35.
Mr. H. L. Gray sold here last Tues-day,
his prices ranged from $9.50 to
$23.50, averaging $12.60.
Mr. R. C. Dickery was pleased here
last Wednesday with prices from $11.75
to fill, general average $16.70.
Mr. I). Weiss, district manager of the
