Richmond, Va. j Dear Mr. Sands I am glad to see that the Tobacco \ Association ot the State ot Virginia has gone into this organization, and hope they will effect one that will be ot benefit to the farmers of the coun try. I was In the tobacco business for a number of years In Pittsylvania and Henry Counties, and after finding out that all of my product was under the control of tobacco warehousemen and the farmers were forced to take the price they set fur the tobacco, I with drew from the tobacco business and went Into tlhe stock business in Pu laski County where I could raise Just what crops as I could consume on my place, and not submit to the tobacco warehousemen or commission merch ants. I do Dot think the farmers will real ly get their dues, or will succeed, un til this organisation Is perfected. I have always contended that Che farm ers could get together and manage their business Just as bankers or oth er organisations are bolng managed and nntil they do this, they will neTer succeed in the tobacco business.

Edwards, of Raleigh, for merly of the old firm of Edwards A Broughton. now retired, says: I first knew Mr. Brans as a lad nine rears of age. I was then a trustee of the Odd Fellows Orphan Home, at Qoldsboro, N. C.. and young Brans waa entering the Institution as an or phan boy . I have known him ever since and hare watched his career with almost fatherly Interest. He left the Home at the age of sixteen to make his way In the world. Through self-study he obtained his license to practice law. I hare watched his ca reer as a lawyer and hare seen him climb to s commanding position In his native county of Pitt, snd have known him here In Raleigh for the last sev eral years as sn able hember of the Raleigh bar. He became the young eat Orand Masteer of the Qrand lodge of Odd Fellows the State erer had, haying served aa such for the term May, 1*14, to May. 191&. He also rep resented this Jurisdiction In the Sov ereign Orand Lodge of the World for the two years following his term as Orand Master. His was a member of the State Senate of MM from the Fifth Matrtet, and waa the youngest man ber of that body. He Is now a trustee of the Institution that gave him his start In life. He has character, abll ity and strength, and Id worthy of any trust that could bo given to his keep ing. Prof. O. E. I4neberry, Sdpt. of the State Institution for the Blind, Raleigh, N. C., says: My first acquaintanre with Mr. Evan a was 20 years ago when I was at the head of the Wlnterviile Hlvh Srhool, In Piltt County, and Mr. Brans was a country school teacher.' He Is a fine ype of the self-made man. Through all these years I have known him as a man of strength, sterling character, and of extraordinary abil ity. He can be trusted to do big duty In office, Mr. John D. Berry, Gran-1 Secretary of the Orand Lodge ot Odd Fel lows of North Carolina, adds this : Since Mr. Evans la one of our old Orphan Hqpurboy and has always ta ken qufcaf'a p omnent position In the affairs of our order, I ha-e naturally been thrown with him for the lest sev eral years. I think it bit tali to say that he Is s man of whom we -ifc just'/ proud beviuve ?t his ?ui.c?<(tiil ca reer ml bis high character. As a lawyer of ability, I know that he will make a great reputation If permitted to serve th? psopto of this district in the office of iWlcttor.
