Wilson, Dec. 14.-This, the second
day of the convention of the Farmers
State Union dawned with threatening
weather, but it takes more than q
rnurky atmosphere to dampen the ar
dor and enthusiasm Of Wilsonians in
their endeavor to make the stay OF
the horny handed sons Of toil' pleas

This is one Of the big days for our
guests seeing the tobacco industry
OF Wilson," This end Of the program
is under the direction of r. p. Wat
son, the gentlemanly president of the
Tobacco Board of Trade, who is as
sisted by other gentlemen who are
thoroughly conyersant with the culti
xation, sale and manufacture Of the
golden weed that has made Wilson
the largest bright leaf tobacco market
in the world. And without doubt,
when those farmers who know moth
ing about how tobacco is handled
when they return to their homes will
remember for all time the busy times
on the floors of the warehouses as the
double sales progressed, and the
timber -tOngued auctioneers knocked
off the weed to this or that buyer
Every warehouse was filled with great
golden piles-from every section or
Eastern Carolina-brought here to
compete for the many handsome cash
and other prizes which will be award
ed those with the best grades. Hun
dreds Of prizes were awarded by the
Judges: Messrs T. M. Darlington, Of
Richmond Va; A. T. Thorpe. OF
Rocky Mount, and E. Y. Webb, Of
kinstOn.
1t is estimated that there are on
the market this morning four
hundred thousand pounds-and take
il all in all, the finest tobacco ever
brought to this market.
Yes, this is big day for the farm
ers, and besides those from a distance
they are here from the surrounding
country-coming in all sorts Of vehi-
cles from a carry-log cart TO the
