Col. Albert Cox, chairman of the campaign committee, is of the opinion that will be needed. A vigorous effort will be made to get the arguments for the establishment of the hospital before every voter in the county. After this sort of a campaign has been made whatever is left, if anything, will be applied to the endowment fund. But it is felt that it is highly important to take every possible step to make certain of the tion being carried.

WAKE LEAF GROWERS GET GOOD PRICES One Farmer Sells Load of 464 Pounds For Average of $1.16 Farmers in Western Wake are receiving the highest prices ever paid for leaf tobacco. The Apex market, it is said, is leading the State with the highest prices.

The Planters Warehouse sold a whole floor full Monday for an average of $89.50 hundred pounds. One farmer sold a load at this house for $1.20 POL. pundies, of Apex, Route 5, sold a load (1,464 pounds), at the Farmers Warehouse for an average of $1.16 per pound.
