Dr. Fleming discussed the "Wlck

The only purpose It can serve Is to

him very much to see this deadly

Last bnt not least was the talk by
Mr. C. W. Lee, Sr., spokesman for the
buyers. Mr. Lee said to him there
seemed to have been perfect har
mony and cooperation among the
'own, county and Che buyers in Louls

alone has been the outstanding factor
responsible for the good tobatco
market Loulsburg now has. This end
