Don't you remember, last fail when cotton dropped to almost Cleveland j prices, they said it was because there | Was such an over-production. Why, j it was even said, there was enough cotton raised in 1926 to run the , .country lor two years if not another bale was raised til 1927. But how is "it" now? With prospects of about 1u:oithirds the same size crop as last year .cotton is selling close to .twen ty-Aye cents, and many are predict- ] ing much higher prices. And now With tobacco selling 'for about sixteen cents on the eastern markets, and averaging 15r86 on the Oxford market? and that is just | what it averaged for ihe first week, and bringing the Lord only knows what on the Durham market, for none | of the newspapers of that good city have been able to And out what the average has been. Strange, but true, the newspapers could tell you to a rvmnd how many pound* wci'e ^Id ch^day, but when it came to the average, it has been even* day ABOUT. Renerally nineteen cents, but | no one believes a word of that, for it has probably done no better than in Oxford. And the buyers say^ it is because of OVERPRODUCTION. We believe this is. an excuse and ? ? a., rnacon. fiy whllL Hate piub a>ly is a large crop it is kr.own of ail that likewise the consumption of tobacco is increasing by the million (xmnds yearly. Why, they say. the : women are now smoking almost as many cigarettes daily as the men. :>nd we all know* the men are smok j ing more ci^argttes each ..day ' than ' f ever before.
