A RESOLUTION.
(By Delegate Emmett r.. Shaw, OF
Clay County.)


Whereas, We represent the vari-
Gus counties of Georgia, and the al
most solid citizenship of Georgia who
are Democrats, and whereas, the
Democratic Administration should
listen with patient ear to the voice
of a State, which has been Demo
cratic in every election since the
Civil War,
Be it resolved, and it is hereby re-
solved, that we request our Congress
men and Senators to use their every
effort to get the administration to
give to the Farmers Of Georgia the
South and the West, the Rural
Credit legislation which they have
expected since the adoption Of the
Baltimore platform four years ago.
Be it further resolved, that we in
behalf of the white democracy of
Georgia, urge that only white men
are Democrats be appointed to fill
important offices in this Govern
ment, especially where white men and
even white women. have to be en-
ployed under them.
Be it further resolved, that the
Democracy of the country be put on
notice, that Georgia's Democracy
protests with all it's might, against
such appointments as Robert Terel.
Judge of the City Court of Washing
ton (the Capital of the greatest gov
eminent of the earth) who wears
kinky hair, black face, and whose
veins hold ethiopian blood.
Be it further resolved that it is
with regret that we feel it our duty
to call attention to the above and
that we do so that pledges may yet
be carried out, and amends made,
before disappointed independent
people who love truth principal and
right to go to the poles in November.

NEW YORK, Dec 2, 1916.
The last month of the year just en-
tered into sees no abatement in the
buoyancy of the leaf market. Leaf in
yestments are being constantly made,
packers and dealers being just as anx-
ious to replenish their stocks as manu-
facturers. The question of damage
seems to be much less of drawback
than it is in normal times. Report has
it that lot of Wisconsin, infected
with black rot, was sold by packer
to dealer price prevailing in for
mer years for sound goods and was i'm
mediately sold to another dealer at a
considerable profit. And where mar
ketable stocks are lacking to be dealt
in the investing spirit concentrates it
self on the new crops. The demand
for our Shadegrown leaf is extending
now also at livelier ratio to the Flor
ida and several considerable transac-
tions of that type have lately taken
place. In Sumatra the demand is still
in preference of the fincr marks re-
gardless of price. The Havana market
shows an increasing activity. AS the
new crop is still rather tardy in matur-
ing on account of the prevalence of
heavy leaf, the old stock is rapidly
vanishing into consumption. It is hard
ly likely therefore that the balance of
the year will witness any dullness in
the leaf market. journal.

IDGCR1ONs w 49, DCC. >, 1OlO.
The tobacco growers are somewhat
disappointed that they were unable tc
remove from the curing sheds more of
the crop during the late casing wealth
er. Only enough has been taken down
to start the stripping quite generally
except in small acreage lots. With the
larger crops the outside tiers of the
sheds reached casing condition so that
most growers have some portion of
their tobacco stripped but not enough,
except in few instances, to make COM
plete delivery on. The present pros
poets point to but little warehouse
handling at the packing points before
the holidays for we hear of only one
concern in the state that has this work
under way.
Since the tobacco came into case a
few of the unsold remnants have been
lifted, few samples Of which are:
George Barthe, one crop at 1880, an
other at 14&5c; Sever Johnson, 14&5c;
Alfred Tverberg, 10a at 14&5c.
In cured leaf nothing has developed
in local circles, but from New York
comes the information that the Rosen-
wald firm has disposed of several large
lots of Is Wisconsin.
The shipments out of storage reach
$50 cases and six cars of bundles from
this market to all points for the week.

L4ANCASTER, FA., NOV. 70, 1910.
Just now the lack of cigarmakers is
about the only thing that limits the
output of our leading factories. Some
of them have had to call in their trav-
cling representatives., as it was useless
to drum up more orders, while plenty
of mail orders have had to be turned
down
Some of the local packers who waited
to the tail end of the season to buy of
the new crop managed to pick up some
goods at l53 and 16 cents, but the total
amount is not large. Indeed, the total
1916 holdings of local packers is COM
paratively small. 1t would be useless
to question the merits of the new crop,
which has cured nicely, for it has
color, burn and bouquet. A longer
period of cold weather than we have
had is desired before stripping really
begins, though growers are even now
beginning to take down the tobacco.
Stripping will not be delayed very
much longer, as the growers want to
pass over the crop to the buyers and
get the money

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Nov. %, 1916.
The heavy rain of last Thursday af-
ternoon and night, with the accompany
ing fog, produced a damp which en-
abled growers to take down a consider
able quantity of tobacco. The amount
of tobacco which the damp made avail
able is, however, disappointment.
Just at present the warehouses are
Shaded crop ready for market The
outlook is that 1916 Shaded Connecti-
cut tobacco will begin to reach the
manufacturer not later than January,
1917, and that the output wrapped with
consumer early in the Spring.
One of the best informed tobacco men
in the Connecticut Valley estimates
that 60 per cent of the 10000 bales of
1916 Shaded tobacco will be wrappers.
The remainder will be high-priced bind
ers.
Notwithstanding high prices paid for
the new crop, many growers are COM
planning that the margin of profit is
small. Farmers who have received as
high as 20 cents pound contend that
they have not more than broken even,
if allowance is made for their own SER
vices and the value of the land, build
ings and other capital invested. Il
Massachusetts, the high prices which
are being paid for onions is tempting
many tobacco farmers to plant more
onions and less tobacco. It is pointed
out, however, that onion growers have
their ups and downs no less than the
tobacco farmers, and that no more than
two seasons ago the Valley was filled
with respondent onion growers who
were on the point of abandoning onion
culture and centering their efforts on
tobacco.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

1t is seldom that tobacco growers
have been favored in late fall with so
long a spell of near casing weather as
during the past two weeks. Mild tenn
peratures nave prevailed throughout
and almost every day the hanging to-
bacco came very close to being in con-
dition to take down. But even after
one Or two days of fcggy weather the
leaf in the interior Of the barns was
hardly moist enough to suit the ideas
of many farmers so that the bulk of
the crop is still hanging, though some
portion Of nearly all crops has been
stripped. A larger portion might have
been taken down were growers not
afraid of heating in the bulks while the
warm days continued. The stalks of
the late tobacco are still green and
exude moisture so that stripping must
be done Immediately after taking them
down or a stained leaf will result, which
is another reason why more of the crop
was not removed. Colder weather has
since e#arrived and the opportunity for
early stripping and marketing of the
crop is apparently gone for the pres
ent. Whether there will be enough
full crops ready for delivery in time to
start warehouse handling with the be-
ginning of the new year is a question.
The packers do not generally care to
start this work until enough tobacco is
in sight to keep the force steadily en-
ployed, SO when their labor force is
once. organized there may be no inter
ruption until the close of the season. ~-'
