Wright Visits Dothan En Route to Marianna Rally
Governor Wright of Mississippi, a State's Rights Democrat candidate for vice president, made an unplanned stop in Dothan on his way to Florida speaking dates. He predicted 80 to 100 electoral votes for his ticket and defended the movement as national in scope. He spoke of party realignment and denied oil interests backing the campaign, insisting the soil lobby is not funding them. He traveled by car due to fog grounding his plane and dined with local State's Rights leaders.

Farmers question 1949 pig crop goal and hog market outlook
Iowa State College economist Carl C Malone told an Agriculture Department outlook conference that farmers may not meet the government goal of a 60 000 000 head spring pig crop for 1949. He noted many corn belt farmers rely on price support loans and fear feeding grain to livestock. The department observed similar skepticism among corn belt cattle feeders as uncertainty about beef prices rises. October hog marketings show farmers sending hogs to market at lighter weights and in larger numbers than a year ago, despite lower feed prices.
