ALABAMA TOBACCO IS EQUAL
 NFLAV0R TO CUBAN ARTICLE

Commissioner of Agriculture J. A. Wilkerson received yesterday after noon a large bundle containing several packages of Brewton and Marion to- bacco. Upon it's receipt a cigar maker of Montgomery was called, and cigars of Alabama growth and make were declared by the experts present to equal the finest Cuban export.
 In the cigars smoked in the office yesterday afternoon the tobacco raised at Marion was used as the filler. while that at Brewton was used as the wrap per. No paste was used by the cigar maker, for the reason that various persons present wished samples of Alabama's products as fast as they could be made.
 MT wilkinson stated that the tobac- co contained in the cigars had been sent on to Washington, D. C.. to ex. perts of the Government department,

Executors of Late w. ID. Westcott
 Seek Full Payment.
 Evidence in the suit of the executors of the estate of w. D. Westcott against the State Life Insurance Com pany of Indiana, will be heard today in the City Court before Judge W. H. Thomas. Thursdays session was taken up entirely with the hearing or pseao. ings in the suit, 1t being non-jury case.
 The question involved is the payment of a life insurance policy of $5,000. on which premiums had been paid by the late Mir Westcott. The life insurance people declare that a misrepresenta- tion, made by Mir. Westcott when the policy was taken out renders void any claim which he mihlt have on the company. It Is alleged. by the insur- ance firm, that MT. Westcott, while being examined, stated that he had no policy pending in another firm, when. as a matter of fact he had.
 A settlement of the claim was of-

and report had been made by them that no Cuban export was finer In grade than that grown in Brewton and in Marion.
 It remains for native Alabamians to be convinced that home grown to- bacco is just as. fine as that grown in Cuba and exported to this country" said Mir. Wilkinson, as he pulled on the cigar just handed him. The to- bacco in this cigar could be labelled with a foreign stamp and sell for the highest price. But why pay more money for the foreign article, when home grown Is just as good"
 There's stiil a large bundle of the tobacco in the department at the cap- ftal. and If you are good cigar maker an Alabama Havana" Is yours for the asking.
