TOBACCO PRICES ARE SLIGHTLY DEPRESSED Nearly Six Million Pounds of Leaf Tobacco Sold in Danville Since Market Opened. Danville, Oct. 20.?Official figure.on sales of tobacco on the local auction floors fci the week ending yesterday show that Danville has disposed of Vearly six million pounds since the market opened the new season on October 3rd. The season's sales total 0,1)86,716 pounds which sold for $2,018,556.23, the average for the market so far this season being $33.71 per hundred pounds. The sales for the week totalled 2,140,272 pounds , which brought $702,489.74, the week's average being $32.28. The rales again today were ex ceptionally heavy and were not tuny carried over from yesterday. Double sales were put on in one big warehouse this afternoon to expedite the tale. Prices have not fully recovered the level early in the week, the depression b.eing ascribed largely to the large volume of offerings and the congestion in the redrying plants. Both of the^receiving plants of the "pool" organization have been busy throughout the week the graders being engaged from nine in the morning until night grading the tobacco. The influx of tobacco to Chatham has swamped the facilities there and reports indicate "boom" times in the county seat. ' j o NOTICE TO SCHOOL TRUSTEES. The law says that it shall be the] duty of the Board of Trustees of each school district to determine at what . time the period of compulsory attendance shall start in their respec- j tive districts and to give due notice j thereof. It has been the custom in Williamsburg county in the past to begin the compulsory attendance period on the first Monday in November, all schools beginning the period at the same time. I, therefore, suggest that the period of compulsory attendance begin in this county 011 Monday, November 6th. The following are the main previsions of the law: Section 1814a.
