The seed from which this crop
sprung was procured from the tcbac-

are considered the very best variety.
Mr. Trunk stated that the crop
would yield one thousand pounds to
the acre and would find a ready sale
at two dollars per pound.
Mr.. A r Reynolds, who has charge
of the tobacco raising, stated that he
had been a tobacco grower for
twenty years, and that he had never
before seen so successful a crop, es-
pecialIy for the first years growth.

Mr. Reynolds, demonstrates to the

ton that Mobile county soil can and
will produce Sumatra wrapper to-

The prohibition wave that has been

peculiar interest for the box manu-

annual convention in the Hotel Pont-

cases for distillers and brewers Is a
very important part OF the boxmak-
ers' business.
1T has helped the box business in
some localities to have prohibition
carry in adjoining districts" says r.
s. Kimball, manager Of the national
association. "At the same time, there
can be no doubt that these prohibit
tory laws have lessened the consump-
ton OF spirituous beverages and, In
that way lessened the total OF box
manufacture"
The local benefit comes to manu-
facturers who are so situated that
they can supply the beer and liquor
cases in which the intoxicants are
shipped into the dry states and coun
ties. There has been great increase
in the shipping trade in drinks. no.
