HOW PAT BROKE THE NEWS

TTM CASEY and his friend, Pat Kline,
jill Were blasting rock one day,
When a blast went off and blew poor Tim
Clear to the milky way.
When Tim came down he came so fast
He left his soul behind
An arm and leg was all of him
That they could ever find.
The foreman said to Pat, go home
And see Tins poor old wife,
And gently break the news to her
That Tim has lost his life"
SO Pat went sadly to Tins home,
And when he saw Tins wife
He cried, did Casey have
Insurance on his life ?"
"You bet your life he has!" said she.

PRICEsEOF TOBACCO RISE.
President of the National Tobacco association
5hinks They Will go higher.
Richmond News.)

Another large break of dark tobacco
occurred this morning and served 10
attract buyers from all shc manufac-
tories. The lowest price was s. for the
co.nmonest grade, and as usual, the
American Tobacco Company was among
the largest buyers
The prices for the common and me-
dunn grades of bright tobacco are still
in the air, though the high-water riark
will probably not be reached until Mai CHI,
and many dealers are holding their stocks
for that season. Tazewell VI. Darlington,
the president of the National Tobacco
Association, said this morning, that the
present range Of prices is undoubtedly
due to the Fact that this is the second
season that the supply has been short.
Tobacco will be higher still, he thinks,
for the manufacturers are all more or
less short. The extensive purchases OF
the American Tobacco Cmpany are due,
he thinks, as much to their own shortage
as to the fact that they have caught the
independent factories in the same Hight
and are trying to make things interest
ing for them. Tobacco. planters every
where are being urged by the trade pa
pers to plant more tobacco than ever
before, but the labor problem, NJ. Car
ington thinks, is most serious che,
and one that will not easily be solved.
Many of the very small markets are
closed altogether now, and the quanti-
ties sold in the larger centers are little
more than half those Of two years ago.

fully 29O bales. / have the best crop this
year / ever made. 1t could hardly be
finer. Gen Cox, who is my neighbor,
also has fine CROP but / can't say that
crops over the county are as good as
usual"
Mr.. Daughtridge is model farmer
and finds farming profitable. He is a
member of the State Board Of Agricul-

last Legislature.

will be found that North Carolina has
not made half cotton CROP said Mr..
