Tobacco revival spreads in Decatur county Georgia fields
A Bainbridge reader credits Decatur county tobacco's revival to local efforts and the Bainbridge Democrat. He cites Fenton of Florida Central and Peninsular, R. A. Lytle’s leaf house, and buyers who opened a packing plant in Bainbridge. He notes 500 acres planted this year yielding about 500 pounds per acre at around 35 cents and predicts rapid growth as expertise and markets expand locally and to New York.

Tariff reform urged to curb wealth concentration
A discussion on tariff reform argues it is a heavy indirect tax that drains the public, benefits protected classes, and stifles competition. It contends removal would lower prices for goods, boost mass wealth, and reduce dominance of Wall Street style monopolies. The piece ties the tariff to broader calls for economic reform and democratic accountability.

Stray Dog and Man Die in Indian Well Ambush
A dead man and a dead dog were found in a dry well in India after a panther emerged from the night. The dog apparently fled into the well chased by the panther, and the man, hearing the dog, went to help. The panther killed both, and in the morning a rope lowered with a noose dragged the panther to the well mouth where a policeman shot it.
