We have no desire to play th demogogue and no desire to flatte tobacco farmers with false hop< from impractical schemes. We d hope, however, to see the time whe the Tobacco Trust will be brough under control and some metho oe+aKlicVio^ Ku menns nf whif*h th farmer may be in a position to d< mand what his tobacco is wort! Some relief may come from the e) pected decision of the Suprem Court; but that is too uncertai for us to hang our hopes on it a this time. The one hope of su< cess lies in the fact that th farmers in our tobacco-growin I territory need not depend upo: tobacco for a crop nor upon th . the Tobacco Trust for their monej If the white man had never learr ed to smoke the red man's tobacc \ or chew the leaves, the tobaccc growing region of Virginia an > the Carolinas, Kentucky and Tennei see, would nevertheless be to-da ' a prosperous agricultural sectior t We believe the chances ar i that these tobacco-growing district ' would be more prosperous tha: i they are to-day. They would hav won this prosperity by growin; > corn, hay and stock, and other pre 1 ducts for which they are natural! 9 r adapted. Now our point is, that this terri j tory can start growing these crop now just as well as they coul have started with them in the be ginning if tobacco had never bee; ' < thought of. And in addition t i these crops they can grow tobaccc [ which addition is a decided ad > . vantage. We do not advise our farmers t quit tobacco. Let every acre sta . in tobacco where that crop will pa; better than any other crop. Ther are thousands and tens of thousand d of acres in Virginia and adjoinin, States, however, of which this i not true, and it is these acres tha y ought to be planted in corn or othe r grain crops or put to growing hay ?_ pasture or live-stock. Most o f our tobacco-growing section ha e better advantages for raising liv< 0 stock than the West and most o: e this tobacco territory has ad 3 vantages over the rest of th< South in that it is free from cattl e quarantine. The thing to do is to put ever acre of land to corn, grass or pas ture that will pay as well in thes L_ crops as in tobacco. The hig price of meat offers a brilliant oj portunity for tobacco farmers, an g as they begin to grow stock an l_ grain, prices for tobacco must g j up at the same time because of th ^ shortened production. And you can apply this methoi this year without waiting for any body to bust the trust.?Raleig (N. C.)

Carter-Jones. e Lake City, April 9:?One of the r prettiest weddings of the season was ?s solemnized here Tuesday evening at o the Baptist church, when Miss Edith n Margaret Carter became the bride it of Mr J Frasia Jones. Promptly at d 8 o'clock, to the strains of Mendelsie sohn's beautiful wedding march,ren j- dered by the skilful fingers of Miss i. Dora Hinnant, the bridal party, prec ceded by the ushers, Dr Alva Weaver e and Mr S L Courtney,entered as foln lows: Mr J Lenwood Richardson with ,t Miss Margaret McNeill of Conway; > Mr V Glenn Arnette with Miss Loula e Chandler; Mr J Peter Matthews g with Miss Irene Rodgers. Then a came the dame a^vior, Mrs H W e Carter, si step--1 r. Berth a-^f^rris, maiu i- took their stands on eit? o the . ?autiful arch, whi. >. fr f the chancel. The bi?^ .,-pon d t. of her brother, Mr T Lide 3. Carivx, then entered and was met at y the altar by the groom and his best u man, Dr Clarence David Rollins. e The words which. made them one s | were very impressively spoken by the n Rev H F Jones, brother of the e groom. g The bride wore a lovely grey cosh tume and carried bride's roses. The y bridesmaids were daintily gowned in white lingerie dresses, with black . picture hats, and carried white carg nations. The groomsmen wore full j evening dress. The decorations of the church were in white and gold n with background of ferns. The 0 bride is the youngest daughter of Mrs Delia D Carter, of this place, [. and is a graduate of the Memorial Hospital Training school of Richo mond, Va. The groom, who is the y son of Mr J P Jones, of Mecklenburg y county, Va, is demonstrator of anate omy at the Medical College, Richs mond, Va. The many presents res' ceived attested the wide popularity s of this young couple. ,t Immediately after the ceremony r Dr and Mrs Jones, with good wishes , from a host of friends and amid a f shower of rice, left for an extended s Southern tour.

D C Scott. ii "One-School" DistrictsFor several years I have urged the forming bf "one-school" disla tricts and the levy of a special ^ school tax. To my previous reasons J' for advising this is added a recent and strong one, viz: The policy of ll the Legislature to give aid only to those weak schools that levy a ,r special tax, and the regulation by } the State board of education allowl~ ing aid to only one school in a dis'* trict. I believe this plan will be n permanent, and sincerely hope that * our patrons in the large school disn tricts will take steps at once looking t towards one school district and the i- voting of a special tax. The plan is e simple: Outline in a petition to the s county board of education the terri?. tory desired in the new district(which e should contain from 15 to 20 square a miles), having it signed by one-third r or more of the electors and free> I holders in said territory, and unless t there are special reasons against the d forming of such a district the petition will lw crrnnfpH Tn siifh His (> ww~.. ? fr tricts the State aid will be as much e as they raise by special taxation, but not to exceed $100.00. I will be glad to attend any meet. ings called for the purpose of cond sidering changes along this line. 1- J G McCi PLOUGH, 3- Supt Education Williamsburg Co. 3-31-3t < J HveryEH writes Lola P.
