MUCH TOBACCO IS
Being STRIPPED
Weather Conditions Ideal and Ex
tensive Work Is In Evidence
Report of Blight Attack

''The greatest ever" said number
of tobacco men when asked regarding
the stripping of tobacco these days.
The work is said to be more exten-
sively in evidence than at any time
since the weed was cut and placed in
the sheds. The prevailing damp wea-
ther has added much to the working
forces. since there are many who
have failed-thus far to make much
headway regarding stripping 1t is
said there has been more tobacco
stripped during the past ten days
than during the previous month and
conditions indicate a continuation of
the work For some time the wea-
thcr was such as to cause the weed
To dry to an exceptional degree and
some was damaged by the wind
where not completely enclosed. How
ever, the period of wet weather had
enabled the owners to get thier crops
ia good shape, since the beginning
of the annual sales is not far off.
There is much grading of tobacco
this year; in fact. more than the US
ual attention is being devoted to this
III order to enable the owner to at
once grade his product upon looking
at il after it has been prepared for
the market This has been advocat-
ell oy some at the head of the bur-
ley association who have taken much
Interest in the preparation Of the
crop for the year. The graduation
will also enable the purchaser TO at
once realize the condition as well as
the grade of tobacco and eliminate
much chance and waste of time in de
Gliding upon the quality. Thestobacco
is said to be very good, medium and
bad While these elements are usual
ly in evidence, they are attracting
more than the usual attention since
the scare from rust and blight Gre
.ated some time ago caused much
speculation regarding the outcome.
Some report their crops untouched,
and claim the quantity of injured to-
bacco will be very small, while 9TH
ers say they will lose considerable
good quality product as a result of
the blight.

VAN Benton WILL
RUN FOR SHERIFF
Popular Democrat Announces His
Candidacy For Office He Fill
ed Before So Well

Van Benton, who nearly four years
ago, made one of the very best sher-
ifs that Madison county ever had,
nomination for sheriff, subject to
the action of the Democratic party
next August.
For some time his friends hav-
been urging Mr.. Benton to become a
candidate, and although it is under
stood that he did not care to go into
a hard primary fight, assurances of
such strong support all over the cour.-
ty are said to have come to him un-
solicited, that his friends are salts
fed that he will have no opposition
within his own party. A number OF
his friends are said to feel that his
personal popularity and his record of
service to the people of Madison coun-
ty before was so good and made him
so many friends regardless of party,
that they hardly expect the Republi
cans to seriously oppose him.
Mr.. Benton is one of the best known
stock and cattle dealers in Madison
county, and one of its leading Demo-
Gratis. 1t is perhaps not an eXagger-
alton to say that he is probably the
most popular man in Madison county
personally. If he has an enemy, ny
one knows who he is. Straightro--
ward, the soul of honor in all his deal
ings, honest as the days are long. anC
with good word for every one, Van
Benton is respected and beloved by
all. He will be the next sheriff OF
Madison county. Stick pin in thac.

be q general disposition upon the part
of the younger men to acquire these
honors. Richmond is already well
