Some farmers report that their 1 tobacco will be uneven and therefore hard to cultivate and harvest. In their opinion nature has played an important part in curtailing production. Here and there are to bg found j notable exceptions to the poor1 crops. In the Freeland commun-! ity John D.

The only other candidate for t county office to file for the sec- 1 ond primary are Gillard Lewis, 1 high man. and John Caison, run- 8 ner-up, in the race for the De- mocratic nomination f^r county coroner. In the state race it is assured ? that Dr. Ralph W. McDonald * will go to war with Clyde R. Hoey for the Democratic nomi- j nation for governor. J Since a second primary is slated anyway, it is likely that W. P.
