EQUAL TO ANY PRODUCT.
These expert tobacco dealers de-
clared that the Virginia Burley sold
yesterday was in all respects the
equal and in some cases the superior
of anything they had ever bought on
the Louisville and Cincinnati markets
The prices the weed brought, as given
below, are also proof of that fact.
The sale also attracted number
OF Virginia farmers from Powhatan,
Amelia, Prince Edward, Charlotte,
Mecklenburg, Nottoway, Lunenburg.
Goochland, Hanover and other
counties who had heard of the Burley
experiments and came to see the re-
suits. Among these horny-hand sons
OF toll was Colonel Joseph Button.
Insurance Commissioner, and a big
tobacco grower of Appomattox
county.
The figures speak for themselves.
Mir. Taylor had twenty-five piles on
tae floor. aggregating $500 pounds,
which sold AS follows: ST. $3.50,
ST., $25. $25, $2O.5O. $40. S1S, $50,
S24. $50, 500 so, SIG. so. $13, SIG,
S22.5O, $3.50, $3.50. $3.50.

dred pounds.

1t remained for S. B. Downing to
make the best average. He had six
niles on the floor. which brought
S1S, $17. $25. $23, $17.50 and 49,
90, or an average of $19.9S per hun

1t was clearly demonstrated that
Virginia soil can and will bring the
famous White Burley tobacco. All
OF the rich lands of the Valley. and
of Augusta, Orange and Fauquier
counties. and also of the counties of
Appomattox, Prince Edward. Char
lotte. Amherst. Powhatan, Chester
field. Henrico. NottOwav, Lunenburg,
Dinwiddie and several other Virginia
counties will bring this type OF the
weed. and the farmers in some of
those mentioned are getting very
tired raising the "Regie" types to be
sold at about cost. The probability
is that they will turn their attention
this year very largely to the White
Burlev. Thev will find a market for
it in Richmond.
the larger part OF the new type OF
the Virginia weed offered Yesterday
was bought by the R. A. Patterson
Tobacco Company. the American To-
baccO Company, Imperial and the
r.. J. Reynolds Company, all of whom
are very extensive manufacturers OF
the Burley goods.

The Legislature has done nothing
wiser than it's refusal to abolish the
fee system as to solicitors and to put
all solicitors on a salary basis. The
reason il apparent. In one district
the solicitor has twice as much work
as the solicitor in another. The same
argument applies to county officers.
A salary in one county, to sheriff,
clerk or register, which would be fair,
would not be fair to these officers in
another. The cure for any apparent
injustice in the fee system is to reduce
the amount of the fees in any given
county. The Legislature should not
hear to the salary idea as of general
application-Charlotte Observer.
