A little an [ment made in Washington, last Friday afternoon set a North Carolinian to |ring if sugar cane is pre to move in on tobacco as Egetable oils did on butter a ago. Nobody thought it | happen, but here it is as by the Associated Press, Inited -Press, and other radio ress services: _ ” Sugar Research Foundation Is a new synthetic product „een developed that looks, i and smells like tobacco—but |ade from sugar cane. process has been patented . Jean U. Koree of New York [ the Foundation said. The Synthetic is made frond ba the fibrous product left over all the sugar is removed | the cane. This bagasse is n, cut and abrased. Then it’s bd and the fibers screened, is some more beating and [the fibers are put through a [■-making machine. [that point, the product looks tobacco. Chemicals are then to give it the tobacco taste Lmell. When that’s done, the J-ial can be used in cigars, lettes or pipes. fcDRICK SAYS . . . Phil Hed trbacbo marketing specialist he N. C.

If the South stands solidly with Senator Rich ard Russell, refusing to bow to Estes Kefauver’s tremendous na tional strength at the Democratic Convention this summer, you may see Vice-President Alben Barkley pulled in as the dark horse. Voice of the people polls show Kefauver way out in front of Rus sell and all the rest. Leading Democratic politicians say that" Kefauver is merely the child of labor and is too much like Truman. That may be going it a little strong, but in any event the South ern delegates to the Convention will not accept Kefauver if there is any possible way out of it. To understand a candidate well, you must look at him when the heat of battle is not bearing down stongly upon him. On July 16, 1947, when Estes Kefauver was a member of the House of Representatives, he made the following statement in ohe of his speeches: “Each year I have pointed out that the unchecked growth f big business in industry would 'surely lead to the growth of big labor or ganizations and then to the estab lishment of big governmental agencies in order to deal with them. It has been my profound conviction that, through this route, monopoly in industry will leave inexorably to some form of collec tivism in the United States and thus to the disappearance of our economic liberties and political rights.” - (Continued ‘ page 2) Tragic Accident Takes Lite Of Jack Freeland Hillsboro—In a tragic accident last Thursday morning while oper ating a bulldozer in the Northern part of the county, Jack Freeland, 27, well known local man, was fatally injured when a tree he was uprooting fell on him.
