The Tobacco IRterest-Other Crops
MnrrinEes-PersOnn


SOUTH BOSTON. October 7.-(SpeciaL)
Some Of our farmers had a small portion
Of their crops Of tobacco injured by the
recent frost. The crop housed and cured
is rather above an average one in quality
and pounds. Halifax is one Of the largest
tOhaccO-grOWing counties in the State
and doubtless has more different places
at which II is marketed than any other
county. South Boston. the metropolis
has five large and cOmmOdious sales
warehouses. ScOttsburg has four Houston
two. Glover three, Nirgilina two. On
each OF the markets there are large num-
bers Of local buyers and spectators be-
sides a goOdly number Of buyers for man
ufacturers at distance, and for export.
Financially, all the markets are i'm ex-
cellent condition. The prospect for leaf
dealers is exceptionally fine ANY
grade except shipping tobacco is TO be
found on the warehouse floors.
The recent rains, after a long drought
has put the lands in splendid condition
for seeding wheat. and farmers are very
busy.
The apple crop was almost a failure.
and prices paid for fruit are exceedingly
high. Each year more attention Is given
to cattle raising. Messrs. Stebbins and
Lawson, who own the "Geritt" farm. near
town. have 200 head. Many others whose
lands are well adapted TO the growth If
grass. have large numbers A few years

headed by the POpulist. Keesee. does not
create a ripple. His followers are ike

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1899-09-07

THERE is a feeling in the air that
the Republicans will be victorious in
November. TO the person who takes
but casual interest in politics the
feeling is almost Observation-Disclosures
finger cannot be placed upon it-yet
it is none the less apparent. To him
who takes closer view of things the
reasons for it are opponent. In the
first place the Republicans in Balti-
more city and in the counties are
united, enthusiastic and eager for the
fray, while the Democrats are not
solidified as Il party should wish to
be to achieve success. The split in
Anne Arundel county furnishes a
striking illustration, but it is by no
means the only point where the Dem
ocratic managers are experiencing
trouble. In the metropolis alone
there is much worriment caused by
the mix-up over the Legislative ticket.
by which men who have already been
voted for in the primaries will be
forced to abandon their ambition in
order that others more to the liking
of the bosses may be pushed to the
front. The clean and faultless ad-
ministration of public affairs by the
present regime, the issueless Demo
cratic platform and the evidences
that the friends of good government
will line up with GOV. Lowndes and
his associates on the State ticket-all
these are responsible for the feeling
of triumph that permeates the atmos-
phere. And they are pretty substan-
tial qualities to bank upon.

The County Ticket.

THE personnel of the ticket nomi-
mated Monday by the Republicans is
good. The nominees have always
been identified with the party. They
are to a man progressive, energetic
and should command not only the
entire and unalloyed support of every
member of the organization but
should also draw largely from the
ranks of the opposition.
True, there have been some express
sions of regret that Districts Nos. 3, 4
and were not given places on the
ticket but by combination of cir
cumstances which we cannot explain
these rock ribbed Republican strong
holds failed to be recognized when
the nominations were made. But this
should not deter the voters in those
districts from coming out and by do
ing SO show the public that although
disappointed they are still loyal
Republicans and willing to render
their party any service in their power.
Don't sulk when duty calls, but
march shoulder to shoulder and be a
unit in supporting the entire ticket
The candidates are all good men and
well worthy of the support they by
right expect from the members of
their own party. Let the voters of
Nos. ,, A and roll up the largest ma
jority in the history of the county.
We have the material with which to
