Some of the few newspapers of
the State that are so strenuous in
their contention for Democratic
platform convention after the pri-
mary instead of before, are even 60
ing to the extreme of charging ul-
terror motives TO their party breth-
rem who differ from them. Accord
ing to the latest dope. those who ia
for a convention before the primary
are all liquor men. OF course there
is no truth in this charge. and it.
only arouses bitterness in the ranks
to make It. II is pity that party
matters cannot be settled amicably
without resort 10 inuendo and abuse.

IL seems that there is little de-
pendence to be placed ia tobacco as
a profitable farm product even in
what is considered the best of years.
When the present crop was harvest
ed it was generally understood TO be
not only adequate in quantity but
excellent in quality. The outlook
was auspicious but the final result is
discouraging. Only in some in
stances have prices been satisfacto-
ry. II all goes TO further illustrate
the ACCESSIBILITY OF diversified farm
ing. There are a dozen other crops
the farmer can raise besides tobac-
co. He should remember this and
govern himself accordingly.
