There is much being said now
about Col. W. ]. Bryan and the
part he will play in the June
Democratic National Convention
which will be held in San Fran
cisco. Some writers are claim
ing that he is a candidate for
the nomination for the Presiden-
cy. The News believes that
Mr. Bryan is heart and soul for
the Democratic party, and it
does not believe that he is a can
didate. His chief interest is, in
selecting an available man at
San Francisco. Mr.. Bryan, not
withstanding he has enemies,
has more influence than any 9TH
er one man now looking to the
interest of the party. We fur
ther believe that he will name
the Democratic candidate fol
the Presidency at San Francisco.

They both were verv we'll
pleased with the sale of tobacco.
If the weather is suitable we
take it that the larger part of
the tobacco crop in this section
will:lbe marketed. Farmers are
daily pricing and hauling their
crops to the market while the,
grade of tobacco that we make
in this section is not selling On
the market as high as it was
earlier in the season, but at the
present prices we can make
money by growing the weed.
Our fathers when we were
boys raised it for 4 and 5 cents
per pound, they thought they
were getting good money for
their tobacco. If our farmers
would adopt the plan of our old
friend, Ed Whitlock, who beyond
a doubt was one of the best
farmers that ever lived in this
section of the county, who was
the first to get his CROP trans

AGREEMENT NEARS
ON RAILROAD BILL
Conferees Certain to Report
Compromise Measure to Re-
turn Lines on March 1.

A nnai agreement by Senate and
House eonterees on railroad legisla-
tion is near, Il was learned today.
II Is now believed TO be virtually
certain that the railroad bill win be
passed early next month. so that
there VIII be no hitch In the Presi-
dents announced plan to return the
lines TO their owners March I.
The overwhelming majority OF Con-
gress still favors the return OF roads
TO their owners as soon as possible,
despite efforts OF labor and other or
control two years, In the hope that
the Plumb plan can then be put into
effect.
Republican leaders are determined
to push the railroad bill through as
soon as possible, and TO do this some
features Of II may be left for later
legislation.
Anti-strike legislation probably
will not be in the conference report.
Senate leaders, by a recent canvass.
have found that the majority IL the
House 10 still opposed to such action.
The difficulty now between the con-
ferees Is on section o. OF the Cum
Minis bill. which provides that rates
shaii pc duJusttu 90 tHat the foooo
shall be assured of a fixed return OF
6h per cent on their aggregate prop
erty value. with the provision that
the Government may divide all profits
above this percentage for the beneft
OF the weaker roads.
The Senate conferees are under
stood to have agreed to abandon the
provisions OF the Cummins bill, pro-
viding for o Federal transportation
board. compulsory consolidation of
the lines. and possibly the anti-strike e
provisions. IL the House Will accept
section 8.
The House conferees are now work.
ing for a modification of the section.
and IL has been suggested that a
compromise be arranged.
Both conference committees have
now decided II will not be necessary
to return to the respective houses for
further Instructions.
