FARMERS WRITE REGARDING
MARKETING OF TOBACCO
. _ - ????? ^ \
No Desire on Part of Business Men to Dictate to Them.
?*" Wrong Impressions Have Been Formed.
Considerable comment has been. heard from various sources regarding
an article which appeared In the Dally News la*t week, stating why some
of the farmers of Beaufort county tock their tobacco to nearby cities. The
merchant, who was quoted in that article, stated (hat the farmers sold
their tobacco elsewhere because of the "good time" they could have away
from home, where they wou'.d not be known by everyone whom they met.
We are publishing below two letters that were received thla morning
from prominent farmers In the county. They are alike in sentiment and
both rebel against the idea that the farmers of the community must sell
tl^elr tobacco according to the dictation of * Washington merchants.
There la a slight misunderstanding, however, about the matter. The
merchants of Washington do not desire to dictate to the farmers of the
county. They would be foolish to attempt it. What they desire to Im
press upon the farmers Is that the local tobacco market Is In a position to
pay as good prices for the weed an the markets of othar cities In this
( section. This has been proven by a number of farmers who have split
their loads. The farmers have for many years been taking their tobacco
elsewhere and when the Washington market opened some of them were
afraid to make a change. Accordingly they kept on taking^ their tobacco
away from here. It is the desire of having these farmers give the local,
market a trial, that has brought eo much talk and argument on the part
of the business men of this city. The Washington market Is their market |
and the farmers should realize that in helping it, they help themselves.1
We have the same buyer* h're that othor markets have. Is It unreasonablp
or poor policy for local business men to endeavor to persuade the farmers
to bring their tobacco, here?
As for the article which bnupht forth this dlecusslon. it was the
view of one man ? not everyone, Just an the letters wo are publishing below
are the views of Individuals. We want the farmers to remember, however,
that there is no desire on the part of the Washington merchants to control
their action*. We want Beaufort county tobacco on a Beaufort warehouse
and we are making every effort to have it brought here, but if the farmer
believes that it Is against his interests to bring his loads to thla city, he
In at perfect liberty to take them elsewhere. The letters follow:
Washington. N. C.? Oct. 25. 1P15.I
Editor Dally News,
Washington, N. 0.
Dear sir:
Pleas" ai.nw me >. pace !n your ;.a
per to reply to .?n artlc'e printer!
October 22. lf>lo.
Mr. Merchant says he has solved
tho problem a* to why Beaufort
county farmers carry their tobarco
to a near by city, instead of bring
ing It to the local market, but I
think his method is Incorrect. He
will have to "try again."
Now Mr. Merchant seems to think
it our bounded doty to carry our
tobacco to Washington wheth'r wc
get a good price or not. Of course
thero are a few chum* that get a
fairly good price. I have been grow
ing tobacco for several years, and
know what it takra to grow and
market a crop, and when I put my- 1
a* If to so much trouble to grow the
weed. I feel that I have a perfect
r^sbt to se'l where I can get th<
most for it, and 1 know by past ex
perience that I can get better prices
In a nearby c'.ty than In Washing
ton.
Mr. Merchant seems to think it
a v- ry pleasant trip, bo he goes over.
He doesn't seem to think wo care
anything about what we get for our
tobacco at all. He need not Judge
everybody by himself. When It
, com b to the pass when a farmer
labors In the .hot sun during the
summer months to raise a crop of
tobacco, and then have to go to aomc
city dude to get advice where to sell.
I'm looking for another Job.

t'ear Editor:
Will you allow me a small space
In your paper to nay a few words
In regard to that gentleman who be
lieves he has solved the question as
to why the farmers of Beaufort
county are taking their tobacco a
way to nearby cities? He stated he
believed that certain farmers were
more anxious for a two days outing
than they were about the prices they
MADE ANOTHER
BIG HAUL
Police Unearthed 72 Pint* of WIiIh
key at the Atlantic Coast Line
Depot Yesterday Afternoon.
The police made another impor
tant "haul" yesterday evening, when
they discovered a trunk, containing
seventy-two pints of liquor at the
Atlantic Cosst Line depot. Tlio
trunk was checked to Washington
from Petersburg, Va. The liquor
j was of a high quality-*? "Jefferson
Club," ? and is believed to be the
propetty of some prominent local
cltlsen. The owner has not turned
up to put in a claim for his prop
erty.
This makes 184 plnta that the
load police have seised In the l**t
two days. The liquor Is stored a
way at police headquarters and will
?osa be poured out Into tlx |uii?r?
were getting for their tobacco. I
don't know whether he knows U or
?ot but the moat of the farmers in
Beaufort county could carry their
tobacco- to Washington and then take
the time for a two days outing if
they wanted to and most of them
can get a drink without carrying
their tobacco to the nearby cities to
get It, for 1 know of two farmers
who carried their tobacco to one of
your u- arby cities, as you call them
ihte week, and one of them left three
or four good drinks in his home, and
the other one^doesn't drink at all
and both of them are able to tike
not only a two dayB outing If they
wanted to, but a three or four day
outing. So why did they carry their
tobacco to that nearby city? It must
have been that they thought that
i hey could get better prices. Now
the question is why was that local
business man from Washington tak
ing a. two days outing at that town?
Was it that he al5o wan looking for
a drink with the farmers? He stated
that one invited him to take a drink
with him but he didn't state wheth
er he took it or not.
ThlB gentlemen failed to publish
his name but some of the farmers
have him sized up, a? they have been]
seeing one of your business men In
that city very often and they have
the right to believe the same thing
? on him that he believes on them.
: We know that the farmer carrys
I his tobacco to market to zrt aB
much out of it a# h^ can, regardle^B
Of what market he brings it to. But
why the merchants of your city are
on and around the tobacco markets
in the nearby cities haB been a puzzle
to the farmers in Beaufort county.
It Jh not a puzzle any longer, how
ever, for this merchant that believes
he hag solved the question among
the fnrmerB hat solved It on hlm
Bolf . It must be like the old darky
who was caught stealing chlcknns;
he said It t?ok a thief to catch a
Ihief. So while the merchant of
your town waB catching the farmors
he was caught also.
