Wonder who is back of those high
ly exaggerated estimates that would
indicate bumper tobacco crop in
North Carolina this year, and what
their object can be in sending out
these estimates SO persistently at
this time? 1t is q matter of common
knowledge here in Vance county
that the crop in this section will do
well if it finally shows up to be 60 to
10 per cent OF what it was last year
And from general reports it is little
ii any better anywhere else in the

The rather vigorous agitation that
has been started here in favor of a
more aggressive and wide-awake mu-
nieipal government has already be-
gun to attract attention throughout
the State. Several papers, including
one or two of the leading dailies,
have noted it with hearty approval
and commended it to the favorable
consideration OF the citizens of their
respective towns. 1t is a generally
recognized fact the world over that
without progressive and up-tO-date
municipal government no city or
town is in a position to grow and
develop as fast as itotherwise would,
and it is therefore no wonder that
the call to progress and better
things in the municipal affairs of
dustllng Henderson should attract
the attention of other cities and
towns. Let it be understood, how
ever, that there are no charges of
corruption or wrong-doing against
our city officials. Mr.. Peace seems
to set that matter straight this week
by saying frankly that all our city
officials are honorable men, and that
he is not after men but progress.
