We recommend that in every coun ty in every tobacco growing district, there be organized county branches of this Association, with the follow ing officers. A President, Vice President, . Organizer, Secretary Treasurer and an Executive Commit- ! tee of five members: that inevery township organization with a Pre sident, Vice-President, Organizer, Secretary-Treasurer, and an Execu tive Committee of five members. The Executive Committee are now preparing for publication the de tailed plans of organization with constitution and by-laws. The Tobacco crop of 1920 is large, but it is not sufficiently large to cause the low, prices now experien ced.

The Granville County Fair opened up Tuesday morning under a cloud less sky, but the attendance on the tirst day was small. Wednesday was selected as the gala day and it is estimated that between 2,000 and 2, 500 passed through the turnstiles, and there was also a good attendance on Thursday, the last day of the fair. The Parade. The parade each morning attract- mucn attention. Mr. K. L. Street, chief marshal, resembled a major general mounted on a firy horse. All of his aides were practically from the country and were mounted on tine horses, and each man sat well in the saddle. There were many floats m the parade, some of them being very attractive. We are not advised at this writing who captured the hon ors. Management Exuberant. The fair management was pvnh- erant over the splendid showing they made this year. The weather was ideal and the crowds were exception ally orderly, for which the manage ment expressed itself as being very grateful to all who have assisted in carrying out the entire program. Those who have witnessed the an- :nual event for the last eleven years year sur in several particulars. The Amusements. The customary novelties, which go to create amusement, were clean. There were innumerable shows, fer ris wheels, merry-go-rounds . and the famous family whip. The Exhibits. The farm and field crops were an inspiration. They were not so nu merous as in previous years, but they were selected and displayed with more care. There were sever al community exhibits, and the large exhibit of the Oxford Orphanage are worthy of special mention, which will no doubt be supplied later by the management. The home economics products were beautiful, and reflect ed thought and care on the part of the housewives of the county, and the school exhibits reflected much credit upon the teachers and chil dren of the county. One Disappointing Feature. The live stock and poultry exhi bit was smaller than on any previous occasion. ' The usual fine specimens of stock and birds were- v there, but not-so many of-them The only way to account for the shortage in these departments is that the farmers were too busy with other things to give their attention to live stock and poulttry. An old sage spoke the truth when he said: "Live StocV and poultry is a secondary considera tion in a country where King Cotton and Queen Nichotine rule supreme." ford. Rev.

(Washington Special) President Wilson, urging endorse ment at the polls next month of the administration's stand on the League of Nations, declared, in a communica tion addressed to "my fellow, country men," and given out for publication today, that there was nothing in the covenant "which in the least inter feres with or impairs the right of Congress to declare war or not de clare war, according to its own inde pendent judgment, as our constitu tion provides." The President chacterized as "ab ?ao?. .voornhin,fi-Gi solutely false," assertions that other nations, under Article X of the Lea gue Covenant, would be in a nnsitinn x i i . . . . - r ,to ieaa tne united States into war. j The communication, which was Cie President's first direct campaign ap peal to the public charged that "you have been grossly misled with regard to the treaty and particularly with re gard to the proposed character of the League of Nations, bv those who have assumed the serious responsibility of opposing it" "The whole world will wait for your verdict in November," the presi dent declared, "as it would wait for taonben"imatin f What its future is IT LOOKS AS IF COX WILL BE ELECTED Will Carry niinois, New York and Ohio.

As for Maryland and Kentucky, he said, there was no doubt that they would be in the Dem ocratic column. He also predicted that at least ten western states would go Democratic. He described the claims of Will Hays, Republican National Chairman, as "absurd," saying: "It has often been the case that Republicans won in September but failed to win in November." "We will make our drive dur ingOctober,'.' Senator Harrison -said, and have purposely held back until now. We will have more speakers out than the Republicans, and as to quality there can be no comparison.

With wood prices soaring as they have perhaps never done before, lit tle hope is held out for any relief by the use of that sort of fuel. If one undertakes to use gas or elec tricity, he might find a much larger bill the first of the month than he has been receiving. Under such con ditions as these, somebody is going to shiver in Oxford this winter. Cold weather, at least in a mild form has already set in here. It is possibly not a misstatement of the facts to say that fully half of the people of Oxford cannot afford to pay $18 and $20 per ton for coal, and these are-the prices now pre vailing on this market, and coal cannot be had in any appreciable quantity even at these figures.

By diligent enquiry among the to bacconists, and farmers we learn that the better grades of tobacco show a slight advance ' in price this week. We have noticed that when the buy ers come to a pile that has both strength and quality they bid quite freely, some of the grades selling as high as $75 the hundred. . In scaning the newspapers publish ed in the bright belt ve notice that the prices paid on the Oxford mar ket is at least ten percent higher than elsewhere. Over one million pounds of to bacco sold on the Rocky Mount mar ket last week. Tn Various Precincts Of County. According to reports received from precincts in Oxford and from scat tering sections of the county, the women are beginning to take a live interest in politics, and are register ing preparatory to voting in the gen eral elections in November. No de finite figures are available as yet, but sufficient information has come to hand to show that the newly en franchised citizens are not going to be ignored in the balloting in the na tional, state and county elections. It is understood that the ratio of the number already put on the books in various precincts is from ten to fifty percent women. From about ten to twenty-five percent of the us ual voting strength of the precincts that have ben heard from has been enrolled. With three weeks and more in which the books will be open, ' it is believed that the total Qualified electorate for the Novem ber election will be unusually large. Political leaders recognize, how over, the necessity for getting the news before the people that they register again; and for this reason expect to bend every effort to bring in stragglers before date ex pires. - CEMENT DROPS FROM $7-50 TO $."vA BARREIi Atlanta, Ga., Oct 7 A droo in the price of cement from $7.50 a barrel to $5 a barrel was announced here tor night by a large supply company.
