Sikes Writes Of ‘Dem BumsWeather, Tobacco And Comes Up Smilin\ Too By JOHN SIKES WALLACE, Sept. 27 — Leave us hope, as they’ll be saying in Brooklyn all next week while Dem Bums are doing and dying to overpower the Yankees, that the melancholy days of which the poets speak are not “upon us. And, forsooth, again as the poets say, there seems to be no reason why the melancholy days are here. This is with par ticular reference to tobacco farmers, a lot of whose fortunes have been buffeted about right sharply these past several weeks because of inclement weather. Over here on the Wallace To bacco Market the gentlemen who lead the sales line believe the immediately coming Au tumn days will be happy ones for the farmers. These men, Sill Hussey, Oscar Blanchard, and Rack Rackley, have the feeling that with the crisp, bright and clear days tobaccos will show up better on the local market and prices naturally will be better. This belief in the future by no means that these three gen tlemen are disgusted with the immediate past. Taking every thing into consideration, the Wallace market has borught many happy returns to the growers of this area. The mar ket is at the top for price aver ages anywhere flue-cured to bacco is sold. But, because of that inclement weather, there has been a great deal of poor grades on the market. And these grades haven’t command ed anything near top prices. But during the past wek there have been lalrly steady indications that better grades of the golden weed will show up on the market from now on. Tobacco buyers, like all buy ers, are looking for quality. Quality' is what warehousemen here • are expecting to offer for the farmers from now on. And these same warehousemen, the gentlemen named above, are steadfastly hoping that the rainy days are over and that tobacco can be placed on the market in its finest condition. , (Continued on Pare 3; Column 1) New World Government Plan To Replace United Nations Disclosed By British Solon —-„-i-— ■ — — Britain To Withdraw Her Palestine Troops LONDON, Sept. 27—(UP)—Great Britain has decided to withdraw her 100,000 troops from Palestine whether the United Nations take over or not, a foreign office spokesman said today, and other sources predicted the evacuation will DEEP RIVER COAL MINE TO REOPEN North Carolina Project To Resume Oc tober 1 SANFORD, Sept. 27.—(U.R)— ' V.
