The price Of tobacco has doubled.
Not the price to the consumer who
buys It by the packet or the can or
the plug. but the price paid for the
leaf to the growers Of the South The
price Of tobacco has doubled within the
last six months. and the statement Of
that fact is the opening Of story that
brings golden hope to many an old
Commonwealth and promises vast
changes In the lives OF their people.
Last year. and for many years before
last year. the selling price to the
grower Of ordinary tobacco for plug and
pipe stood at an average Of 5h cents
the pound; today that price has gone
to TN cents. and It promises to stay
there.
Last week q farmer Of North Caro-.
lima sold to the buyers in winston

for N.7O0. and In every marketing cen-
ter Of the South the buyers arc watch

they have not yet reached the top.
Competition IL Keen.
Lest year. before the American To-
baGco Company had been dissolved by
th( order OF the Supreme Court, the
warehoused reserves Of tobacco stocks
were high. the American Tobacco Com
pany had on hand 100000 pounds Of
cured leaf. Today the reserve stocks
have diminished and the competition for
the new growths Is sharp. Also It
seems that this competition is an ac-
tual fact because the dissolution order
Of the court was substantial and far
reaching in it's effects and where pre-.
At,< k,nl pt, ,loP
customer to sell to they now have four
and those four are in the market to
bid against each other.
When the order Of the Supreme Cour:
dissolving the American Tobacco Com
pany was first made known there was
an inclination to take It in a cynical
spirit. 1t was regarded, without any
disrespect for the decision Of the court,
as an order that could never become
actually effective. 1t was thought that
way wa Of getting round it or some de-
vice or secret understanding by which
It could be evaded. Public opinion had
become SO Injured to the methods OF
the trust. and the successful way in
which other trusts have escaped the law
for wears. that people did not imagine
that the four concerns which had origl-
nally pooled their properties to form the
trust would have to do business as ac-
lively Independent and competing enter
prises.
Unexpected Has Happened.
But in this case the unexpected has
happened again. and the grower OF the
South has four big and alert customers
for his leaf where previously he had
only one. and that one able to make his
own price. The competition Of those
four big buyers has become keen: they

One Mans Life Lost.
All buildings Of the three institutions

An attendant said that the madman
