TOBACCO HERE IS
IN GOODCONDIIION
Opening of Season in South
Carolina Encourages
Local Groups
Curing is well under way through
out this county and section, but the
1936 tobacco crop will not be entirely
housed under three or four weeks yet,
those in close touch with the crop s
growth say. The majority of the
yield will probably bo in and cutcd,
or in process of curing, by the fiist of
September, but the last of the weed
will not be taken from the fields
much before the opening of the mar
ket here on September 22.
Reports from over the county and
in this part of the Middle Belt ate
that the crop in general is of fairly
good quality, and such as will most
likely command a satisfactory price
at the opening and through the com
ing season. Some of the early set
tings have pot done so well, and
there are localities that were not so
well favored with rains in the early
summer. But the crop in general
has shown remarkable improvement
in the past two months. The acreage
is less and the yield is much below
last year, due to adverse weather con
ditions in the spring, and the harvest
will be late on that account, although
the crop will be ready for market by
the time the season gets under way.
Opening of the selling season in
South Carolina and border belt mark- |
ets last Thursday increased the out
look for a good season here. The
average in the border markets, cn the
basis of first reports, indicates that
the quality of the yield there is not
as good as that in Georgia, where
the season got under way on Tuesday
of last week, with a price average
ranging around 25 cents per pound.
The border markets are believe dto
have an average for the first two
days a shade under that figure.
Henderson tobacco men, home for
the week-end from the border terri
tory, feel that prices paid for the
poorer grades there are well for this
belt, and averages well over those of
last year are looked for. The feeling
of optimism that followed the open
ing of Georgia wa seven more pro
nounced after the news came from
the border belt.

LOCALIIUPAT
DEMOCRATIC MEET
State Committee in Raleigh
Elects Officers To Serve
Four Years
Vance county was represented at
the meeting of the Democratic State
Executive Committee in Raleigh
Friday night by Henry A. Dennis, |
member for this county, who also had
the proxy of Mrs. W. H. Fleming,
who is the lady member from the
county. Present at the meeting from
this county were also Brooks P.
Wyche, Democratic county chairman,
and D. F. McDuffee, former State
senator from this district.
The committee re-elected J. Wallace
VVinborne, of Marion, as State chair
man. and made Mrs. J. B. Spillman, i
of Greenville, as vice-chairman, and
endorsed certain changes in the
party’s plan of organization relating
especially to nominations for the
State Senate, and in keeping with the
plan now in force as between Vance
and Warren in the fourteenth sena
torial district.
A proposal that a permanent office,
with a full-time paid secretary, be set
up in Raleigh was referred to a com
mittee consisting of the State chair
man and one member from each of
the eleven congressional districts, to
be reported back at a later meeting
of the committee.
The meeting also heard a brief ad
dress by Clyde R. Hoey, of Shelby,
Democratic nominee for governor,
and heard messages of greeting from
Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus and
Dr. Ralph W. McDonald, who was a
candidate for governor in the recent
primary.
Mr. Winborne reported a “nest egg”
balance in the State committee’s fund
of a little more than SSOO, and urged
the members of the committee to
exert themselves for the increase of
that fund so rthe coming campaign,
declaring more money would be
needed. Mr. Winborne is' making
plans for the opening of State head
quarters in Raleigh next month for
the start of the campaign. He asked
the cooperation of the committee and
all Democrats.
The meeting was not largely at
tended by members of the committee,
probably more proxies being on hard
than there were members in person.
It was well known in advance what
the action of the committee would be
in the choice of a chairman and a
vice-chairman.

95 Percent of Growers Vot
ing Favor Mandatory
Free Inspection
Announcement came here today
from Washington that the Oxford
tobacco market has been designated
for mandatory free inspection of all
leaf sold on warehouse floors there
during the coming season. The Bu
reau of Agricultural Economics has
ordered the service for the Oxford
market following a referendum
among growers who sold on the mar
ket last year.
The advices said the votes cast to
talled 2,024 and that 1,922 of that
number favored the inspection serv
ice, or about 95 per cent.
Oxford has had optional or volun
tary government grading of tobacco
for several years. The mandatory
inspection service is free to the grow
ers and is inaugurated under the act
of Congress last year which provided
for the service to growers if as many
>as two-thirds of those patronizing a
given market voted favorably for it.
A total of 18 markets in the south
ern states tobacco region have been
designated for mandatory inspection
during the coming season. Three of
these are in the South Carolina, cr
border belt, all of them in South
Carolina, and two —Farmville and
Goldsboro —are in the Eastern North
Carolina territory. The only mar
ket where growers rejected the serv
ice was Smithfield, also in the cast
ernbelt. Because of the lateness of
the season, it is presumed that Ox
ford is one of the three largest mar
kets in the Middle Belt, with Hen
derson and Durham the others.
Government grading was in opera
tion on the Henderson market for
several years, but was later aband
oned. It was continued at Oxford,
and now under the new designation,
the service will be mandatory for all
tobacco hold there.
Think That Landon
Really Has Chance
(Continued from Page One.)
It is a commonplace that citizens
who are on 'relief will vote for thq
Roosevelt administration because it
has helped them. However, there are
many persons who resent conditions
which force them to be on relief. Be
sides, politics and relief have been too
much mixed. It is denied in Wash
ington, but relief details are attended
to locally. The home folk are famil
iar with them, precinct by precinct,
They cannot be fooled.
.Relief beneficiaries who have been
coddled doubtless will be pro-Roose
veltian but those who feel that they
have been discriminated against can
be counted on to be hopping mad.
That somewhat offsets the adminis
trationirts’ reliance upon the item of
Jelief.
PKiCES Ul*
Many AmeLcans are alarmed by
charges made by Republicans and
others ot Rooseveltian extravagance.
The Rev. Gerald L. K. Smith is ex
tremely efficient at throwing this
scare into the electorate. His recent
speech before the National Press club
in Washington demonstrated it. He
did not say iruch constructively, but
he did paint a horrific picture of
crushing taxation to come. His presi
dential candidate, Representative Wil
liam Lemke of North Dakota, may
not profit by it, but Governor Lan
don, indirectly, may.
And the cost of living?—particularly
food?
The administration wanted to boost
farm prices. Well, it has done so. But
not the average consumer’s income.
It is natural to assume, therefore, that
the average consumer will fee sore.
That is an offset against the item
of the price advance,* however much
it may gratify those who get the
higher prices.
