A REPLY TO PLANTER.
Editor Reflector a recent
issue of the Reflector is a can signed
by in which he says that a
brilliant future is in store for the
Greenville tobacco market. Now. Mr.
Editor, while I thank heartily
for his history of tobacco culture Pitt
also for the good he speaks for
Greenville, still I do not agree with
views of the situation. seems
to doubt that there will be the proper in-
Greenville as a tobacco market
and says that everything depend-
F. Evans. O. L. Joyner and Alex
Now, Mr. Planter, this is nut
right. I think to secure the Greenville
market's success depends equally as much
on the of Pitt and adjacent
ties and on the citizens of the town as it
does on those directly Interested In the
tobacco business. Mr. Planter need have
no doubts about my doing everything in
my power to make Greenville the best
market in the east, unless Mr. Joy-
and Mr. Evans arc different men
than I think they are they will also work
exceedingly hard for the same purpose.
Not only this but there is not a
or Greenville who does not
want Greenville to stand as
n tobacco market and these same citizens
will exert their influence and abilities to
accomplish that end. Who can
that such men as C. W. M. R.
Lang, Alfred Forbes, S. M. Schultz. W.
S. Bawls. J. B. Cherry, R. J. Gaffe, E.
A. and I might mention every
citizen of the town, will assist to make
the Greenville market a whooping
No, Mr. Planter, let the planters
of Pitt and adjacent counties but lend us
their assistance and will in a short
time show them the possibilities of the
Greenville market. When a planter
brings his tobacco to Greenville want
him to feel that he is selling his tobacco
at home, my word for it, Mr. Plan-
you promise all your friends
that the Greenville market will be fore-
most among the best markets of the east
during coining season. Want of
space forbids my writing more on the
subject, but if will make him-
self known to me I will point out to him
the advantages of Greenville and a home
market. Alex
