Robbins is regarded as having some
very strong support. All of the can
didates for the presidency are from
the west this year, since under the
plan of organization followed the
presidency alternates from east to
vest.
The position of national committee
woman on the national executive COM
mittee of Young Democrats will also
go west this year, while the post of
national committeeman will come to
the east this time. Miss Winifred
Baggett, of Ellington, is the present
national committeewoman, and Judge
Sam Cathey, of .Asheville, is the pre-
sent national committeeman.
The only candidate in the field at
present for the post of national COM
mitteeman is Wade H. Lucas, man
aging editor of The Raleigh Times,
who has been active in county and
state Young Democratic circles since
the Young Democrats were first or
ganized by Tyre G. Taylor some five
years ago. Lucas was floor leader Of
the Young Democrats in their annual
convention in ASheville in 1884 and
was largely responsible for the adop-
ton of the resolution calling for the
adoption of an adequate liquor con-
troll system in North Carolina. In the
convention here last summer Lucas
was chairman of the resolutions COM
mittee which brought out a similar
resolution with regard to liquor con-
troll, which was also adopted. Lucas
was vice president of the Wake Coun-
ty Young Democratic Club from 1882
to 1884. He has never before sought a
State office.
"Win or lose for national commit
teeman, I still think North Carolina
should have a decent and adequate
system of liquor control and I shall
continue my efforts for the adoption
of such a system" Lucas said when
asked if he were going to keep up his
fight. 1--WE should have adopted a Ii
quor control system long ago instead
Of holding to the bootlegging system
which has come into being under So
called State prohibition"

DER q Durham dateline, appeared in
the June II issue of TOBACCO. ma
tional trade journal, of New York, as
furnished by the Venable Tobacco
Company of Durham).
lFrom all information available, it is
the general consensus of opinion that,
bv reason of fairly favorable wealth
or in the Georgia belt, the crop has
made normal progress, and 1t is rea-
sonable to assume that due to some
increase in acreage planted, we may
expect an increase in poundage of
around fifteen to twenty per cent IN
the Georgia type.
Because of urfavorable conditions
in the South Carolina section, long
spell of very dry weather, with prac-
tically no rain until the past few days,
the situation is quite different from
that prevailing in the Georgia Belt.
There will be less acreage because of
inability of planters to set out their
intended allotments, and, also by rea-
son of the percentage of missing
plants which have died in the field.
1t is believed by most reliable autho-
rites, that, even with favorable wea-
Their conditions for the balance of the
growing season, the yield in South
Carolina wild, perhaps, not exceed
sixty-five per cent of last years and
may fall even lower. Also, it is fear
ed that the quality will not be good
Eastern North Carolina has also
suffered very greatly from the long
spell of dry weather. Although there
have been some scattered rains dur
ing the past few days, and, in certain
sections, fairly heavy precipitations,
it appears that, even with favorable
seasons from now on, the estimated
production will fall considerably short
Of last year in pounds, the general
opinion being that a yield of, perhaps
seventy-five per cent of last years
may be expected.

Tobacco Outlook

resOrting to availing themselves of
the u. S. Governments soil conserva-
ton plan, by accepting a flat subsidy
on acres of tobacco which will not be
planted. 1t is difficult, at this time,
to estimate the acreage or the prob
able yield in these Belts. Our guess is
that the acreage will be cut some
what, and that final pounds will be
anywhere from ten to twenty or TWEEN
ty-five percent under last years, the
figures depending largely on wealth
er conditions during the next three
weeks.
Total Bright Belt
Georgia, being the only section
showing an increase, and, with con-
siderable prospective curtailments in
South Carolina and Eastern North
Carolina, the largest producing sec
ton, we think it reasonably safe, at
this time, to estimate q final yield of
bright tobacco for the 1886 season
at not over seventy-five per cent Of
the total of last year
By reason of the continued unfavor-
able conditions during the past week,

American manufacturing companies
have been buying very heavily from
Enthusiastically of medium to good
tobaccOs. This activity has also re-
suited in rapidly expanding sales to
foreign interests and small manufac-
turerS.
Within the past ten days we esti-
mate that, perhaps, twenty-five to
thirty million pounds have been sold
by bright belt dealers. Prices are
gradually climbing, and it is now be-
lieved that we may look for an aver
age, during the next season, which
will range higher than the 1885 crop
average and if crop conditions should
again turn unfavorable, would be con-
siderably higher. With such prevail
ing conditions it appears, advisable
for any parties who are in need of
further stocks, for the protection of
their future requirements, to hedge
by making necessary purchases at
this time, rather than risk holding off
too long.
