FOR TOBACCO MARKET.
D. IL. NJ. Motley Working for Maycs-
Villc-CrOps in Fair Condition.

Mayesville. June 18.-J. r. M.
Motley of Danville, Va, who is one
or the lessees of the tobacco ware
house here for the coming season.
has arrived and is engaged in adver-
Using the market through the sur
rounding country. Mr.. Motley is an
experienced tobacconist and was To-
cated last year at Lake City, and he
VIII do all in his power to boost the
Mayesville market and the town. J..
+. McElvecn, the other manager OF
the Warehouse, who will serve as
auctioneer, is well known throughout
this section and he is doing some
good advertising among his many
friends who are planting the gold
en- weed. A large force of BUYERS is
expected and from the present out-
look or the crop the quality of the
tobacco should be good and the
prices correspondingly high. The
acreage is larger this year than in
many seasons, and while in this i'm
mediate section there is not a great
deal planted. yet i'm the regular to-
pacco section the yield will be heavy.
The owners of the warehouse proper-
ty are putting everything in good
order for the opening of the marekt
and the buildings will be in thorough
repair and as convenient as anv tn H..
found anywhere else.
All crops are in very fair condition
around this section but the cotton j.
not SO promising in some places, the
stands being poor. Much of this
crop had to be rcplanted and while
there is time probably for il to como
out, yet the yield will necessarily be
cut off to large extent. The acre.
age in cotton is less this year. as MANY
OF the larger planters have gone in
FOR more grain. The corn crop is
very satisfactory at present and the
harvest should be good. The. oats
crop was exceedingly good this sea-
son. r. j. Mayes, Jr., and j. F.,
Bland, two of the leading farmers
around here, produced probably rec
ord yields for this section, some fields
averaging from 80 to 100 bushels to
The acre.
The new board of trustees of this
school district is composed now of
IL. L. Thomas, r. f. DesChamps
and j. F. Bland, three prominent
business men.

CALLS ON GERMANY TO AID EX.
POSITION.
Bryan Urges That Country to Partici-
pate I'm Panama. Pacific Show.

Washington, June 1S.-Another
precedent was set by the administra-
ton when Secretary Bryan appealed
to the German ambassador, Count
Bernstorff, to have the German gov
eminent and people represented at
the approaching Panama Pacific ex-
position. The ambassador appeared
at the state department after a visit
to the White House and it was under
stood that President Wilson expressed
a desire that he call upon Secretary
Bryan
This move on the part of the ad-
ministration was inspired by the hos
tile attitude toward the exposition of
several Of the great European powers
This attitude is credited to apprehen-
sion as to the adverse effect upon
trade Of certain features Of the admin
istrative section Of the pending tariff
bill. especially the socalled inouisi-
torial section, as we'll as to desire on
the part of some nations sympatheti-
cally to support the British govern
"cn' in its protest against exemption
OF American shipping from tolls in the
Panama canal
Representations similar to those
submitted to Count Bernstorff may be
made later to the representatives OF
other governments.

aDiest fnanciers aud publicists. The
plan in theory. is unassailable. and we
do not believe that the most cautious
critic would venture to assume the
position that the indefinite increase
IN the number of independent small
farmers Is not to be desired, but the
practical working out of the plan Of
fers so many and so great difficulties
that we have little hope that it will be
undertaken on a large scale or given
the sanction of State support. If the
plan can be reduced to a working ba-
sis and is given a fair trial on a small
scale In one neighborhood or one
county its successful operation will
ce followed by its extension in all sec
tions. One man who has holdings of
land and the patience to make such
an experiment for the public welfare,
and is willing to forego more than a
reasonable profit on the actual value
of the land would be a public bere-
factor for he would be far more apt
TO make the undertaking a success
than If II is promoted and put into
operation as a Statewide policy un-
der the regulation of a special law.
1t has now been written into the re-
cord that powerful and insidious
lobby exists i'm Washington and has
been exerting a pernicous influence
upon legislation and public sentiment
for many years, as charged by Pres!-
dent Wilson. and 1t is put squarely be-
fore Congress to find a remedy for
the abuse. The issue cannot be dodg-
ed on the time-worn plea that the lob
