Carthage courier. (Carthage, Tenn.) 1913-current, 1920-02-19

In this issue of the Courier will be
found an article written from Hop
kinsville, KY, concerning the slump
in the tobacco market. This condition
is not only prevailing in Hopkinsville,
but at Carthage and all the other
markets throughout the country, and
the article is being printed to show
that the slump is not due to any local
conditions but that the slump in to-
bacco prices is general, and from read
ing it a good idea can be obtained as
to why the slump. In this connection,
however, it is but just to the manage
ment of the warehouse at Carthage
to state that comparison of the prices
paid at the warehouse throughout this
section shows that the Carthage floor
has been able to get at least an aver
age of $500 more for the farmers
than other floors. Also it is noted
that the greatest slump in prices has
come to the poorer grades of tobacco,
the prices of good and choice leaf
holding up fairly well. For this reas-
on. the farmers of Smith County for
the past few weeks have been urged
to raise Burley instead if so much
dark tobacco. Helpful articles on
this subject have recently appeared
in the Carthage Courier, and there is
no doubt but that this is wise solu-
ton for the farmers. The demand for
Burley and light types of tobacco is
still great and indications are the de-
mand for this type of tobacco will con-
tinue strong, as that is what the trade
is now calling for. 1t has been proven
that Burley can be successfully and
profitably raised in this County, and
to say the least of it, the farmers will
lose nothing by giving it a trial.

DIARY OF MARRIAGES

The following is list of the names
and dates of marriages as recorded in
a diary kept by R. L. (Lee) Kemp.
While this is not all the marriages
that have occurred in the Defeated

it is a good number of them and Mr..
Kemp was acquainted with all parties
at the time of the marriages.

TOBACCO MEN MEET,

LEXINGTON, KY. August 1s-Dele-
gates representing hurley tobacco
growers of three states met in Lexing-
ton today to decide whether $4,000 bur-
ley growers, producing an average of
soo.ooo,oOe pounds of tobacco annually,
will cut out the crop in 1921.
Delegates at this meeting were Sc
lected at county conventions held
throughout the hurley district of Ken
lucky and in the hurley producing sec
tons of Ohio and Indiana
General opinion of Kentucky farm
ers is that a crop cutout in 1921 not
only would give the manufacturers a
chance to dispose of their excess of
low grade weed. but would also put
the tobacco land in much better con-
dition for future crops of hurley.
Most of the opposition to the cutout
is expected to come from the Blue
grass section. of which Lexington is
the center, where much high-grade
hurley is raised.

marine worthy of the name. Inland
waterways development is a step in
the right direction. 1t is logical way
of relieving the congestion that now
delays overland means of transporta-
ton. We want to encourage the devel-
opment of Richmond as an inland
port. 1t is contemplated that as soon
as business warrants two additional
ships will be put into service"

"It is hardly an exaggeration to say

in regard to the rights Of sailors to quit

can be detained by force, be arrested

their clothes. Shipowners, on the other
hand. suffer merely civil punishment If
they break their contracts. They can
discharge a man before his time simply
by paying him two or three months ex-
ira wages. We demand that sailors
shall have right to quit in any port oy

wages. We demand that the barbarous
punishments now enforced against them

I'VE shall use all possible peaceful
means to persuade the governments to
