I see from reading the papers that
most all office holders are expressing
their views on who they favor for
President; I don't think it will be a
miss tor the voters to hpve- a chance
I Ssjp to vote for who they please for Pres- :
> idcnt, and not be dictated to by office
holders and protective candidates for
office. I dont think it fair to the
candidates. The Democratic Party
- always meets in convention and form
ulates a piriform and whoever the
* eondidate may be he is duty bound to
? Stand h^ the action of the convention,
y affcF I for one Would like to see a^Xemo
f crat elected to the Presidency, whether
he be a wet or dry; Catholic or prod
isfcont I am sure the Republican
"f: party, South, wfll fight A1 Smith
harder then the Prohibition enforce^
ment forces, due to the fact that "he
can carry more States titan any othef j
Smith has been Governor of his
Satate enough to convince me that he
will be faithful to the performance of
the duties of the Democratic party
In the Nation if made President, so.
lets- try Smith. f

The situation n?w existing is that in
bright tobacco (following tiro com
paratively sihall crops of' 1925 and
1926)' there was produced in 1527
about 720 pounds (the largest
crop of brijyat tobacco ever raised).
On account of the previous two ?m- flfl
paratively. small crops, prices were
well sustained, reacting-in an aver
age of around 22c. .

only money etop, and in other sec
tions, where cotton is also raised, the '
menace of the boU, weevil, together

The general consensus of opinion
among - tobacco men in that any pro

of bright tobacco will result in a ?or

f" .The production abroad has become
a material factor, especially in tin
prices of common tobacco, and this

the farmers have in mind an increase

and if the crop coui/jt be held down to
something less than last year's pro
