COTIRAN WRITES ABOUT TOBACCO OUTLOOK IN COUNTY (Continued from Page 1) ,'he Germans, and it is very sad that he youth of our country has to go and fight our battles while we rest secure ly at home "in the land of the free and the home of the brave." If we want to keep them secure it behooves us to do our little bit in the way of contrib uting, and consider ourselves very 'fortunate indeed that we are getting off so light. It makes my heart sad to think that other people arc dying for me evbry day, and this is what they are doing-dying for America, England, France, Belgium, and in fact the entire civilized world. You will pardon this digression, and not think it out of place, as I can not let an op portunity pass without mentioning a matter that is of such vital importance and great moment to us all. Coming again to the tobacco situa tion, I expect to be in a better posi tion than ever to serve the people. I ,pm having my house built much larg er, which I stood so much in need of last season, as you will recall. I could at that time have handled at least two or three hundred thousand pounds more tobacco than I did had I had dmple room.

I want to 1 see us sell at least three and one-half 1 million pounds of tobacco this year. I You can bet on me doing my square< best to this end. Let's do our best to grow a good crop and get all the col- t or we can. An early crop usually I ieans a good ripe, colory one. I want 1 every man that grows tobacco in Clar endon county this year to make up his mind to sell in Manning this year, and thus protect his own home market. t You will find me on the job, if I am living, ready to stand by your interest c to the last limit.

'riday Morning ., NEW SPECIAL BAR( IE WRE( ;ales for the week have been very b ;mall, amounting to less than one n >ne hundred thousand pounds, and con- ii ;isting of very common stock. In an- t >ther week the loose market closes t or the season. f It is probable that the exporters : if ave a good many orders on their t ooks which they hoped to fill from a he loose sales. Very few of these can a e filled from the stocks held by deal- e rs, as their holdings of redried tobac os are very limited, and the assort- t, nent small. Judging from the prices . it which these are helk with confi- i lence of realizing, it appears that ' armers may expect as high average n >rices next season as they realized P or the 1917 crop. The world's supply o if tobacco is equally as short as many I c >ther commodities and it is certain t hat the demand for cigarettes of Vir- s minia and Carolina brigits is growing t vith leaps and bounds.

Rap I selling-no let-up in demand-en husiastic bidding-have characterized he crop movement. It is a settled act that the crop was not a large one pounds, taking the world's produc ion into the estimate, and it is also fact that the consumption is gerater fact that the consumption is greater ver before. And now while we are to some ex ant enjoying the fruits of a prosper us season, we can contemplate and peculate as to the future. From all ,e can gather, the crop next year will ot be an extra large one in acreage. armers are awake to the importance f producing all the foodstuffs they an; and then labor is scarce, and iese facts, togethe with other con derations, will check any tendency on ie part of farmers to plant an abnor mal crop. With a demand that can 2arcely be supplied, with a rapid in rease in consumption, and in the face f what we ebelieve will be a decrease i the world's production-we predict at prices next season will, if any 1ing, exceed the prices of the crop 1at has just been sold. And now while we are discussing iese things in connection with the to acco trade,. let us not for a moment arget the most important thing in all ie world today, and that is the great rorld-wide war.
