WHIST n, n. o., Aug. 25.-Thera K
graf outlook for the tobacco business in
ieumont Carolina the coming wear.
Never before. hardly, has there been a
year CT such universal satisfaction among
Ihe farmers over the product of the Ia
oorS on the tobacco field. A young man
who recently visited the western portion
OF Rockingham county is loud in decar-
Ing that never before have the people
seen such fine corn and tobacco as can
b3 found along the rich bottoms of the
Dan river. An old farmer from Stokes
Yesterday, upon reading a newspaper
chipping concerning the state of things
tae'e, declared that if the county was
blessed with many such years as the
present, her people could not help but
| prosper. Riding along the county road
that leads to Lexington from this place
recently your correspondents eye viewed
some OF the finest fields of the weed he
had ever seen. The tobacco not only has
me body, but the way it is rlpenlng is
also highly gratifying.
These good crop years mean wonders
for city situated as is Winston Salem
Another year her manufacturers can find
all the leaf they can handle, fine goods
at that, and at fair price. Instead of
turning down orders as they are dong
this year, they can send out then trav-
cling men again and reap the plenteons
harvest 1t means money for every body
that handles tobacco, and it means more
too. The farmer, braced up by the good
fortune that has been his, will another
season go around with lighter heart
and till the soil with greater knowledge
of its fruitage. The merchant then can
collect outstanding debts, the farmers
wife can have new dress and the whole
crowd can go to the big circus that i
now heading this way. God bless the
farmers of North Carolina and give then
another b0unteous yield The goo
fortune of this year will be great in
, centive and the whole Piedmont Caro-
lima will blossom roses Of progressive
ness.
!, SO Weldon baseballists have mad
known their desire to tackle Winston OF
the diamond. Well, just as soon as
| was found out, our manager wired 70
them to come on. But Weldon need 10
come until it can play a better gam
> than If has thus far. Our boys can
: not afford to drive the peoples pat
) ronage away on account Of walk eve
games, and unless our sister town nea
/ the line can hold Winston down to fiv
/ runs on the diamond we cannot afford t
: play her. Bring on fine team, We
don, ard our boys will see to it that 70
/ meet foremen worthy of their steel.
k Because Winston won the three cor
e secutive games from Charlotte, tn
o Chronicle of that place says that CT
5, team was composed of 'seven profe
d sionais from the North" This is sue
d gross misrepresentation that it hardl
needs {; correction. Winston has l
e Northern Daseballist on her team, an
t. defes any one to point one out.
is Our boys are ready to take any tea
that can give good game. Where
