INCREASE TOBACCO SALES.

The action of the Durham tobacco
men in taking steps TO apprise the to-
bacco farmers OF the advantages oil
marketing their tobacco on the Dur
ham market shows that they are awak-
ening 10 the opportunities for draw
Ing business here. There is no ques-
ton but that II Is advantageous to the
tobacco farmers in many ways to sell
their tobacco on the Durham market.
Unless the farmers are made aware
of these advantages, these advantages
might as we'll not exist. Business no
more comes 70 cities without persist
ent and intelligent advertising than
business comes 10 individual firms
WHO do not advertise In some way.
Two or three times as much tobac-
co should be sold on the Durham mar
ket as Is being sold. II is TO the
material interest of every man OF the
CITY that the business that Is now be-
ing done on the market be increased
and the tohacco men should receive
hearty oo-operation in their attempts
TO bring about this increase.

SETTLEMENT OF THE TOBACCO
CASE.

The approval Of the plans of re-
organization OF the American To-
bacco Company by the federal court
Wednesday is very gratifying TO the
business interests Of the entire coun-
try. 1t will do much toward restor-
ing business. which has been threat

decentralization, to its normal con-
dition.
The American Tobacco Company
has never shown any disposition
other than TO obey the law when
once the law was interpreted and
defined. All who have taken any
thing like sane view Of the situa-
ton have believed that the plans
submitted to the court were an hon
est attempt to comply with the
mandates OF the supreme court. The
acceptance OF the plans In toto as
drawn by the attorneys for the COM

intention in submitting the plans
