To the Tobacco Growers of Nortb
Carolina: -
At a meeting of tbe Executive
Committee in tbe city of Raleigb,
May 24, tbe Secretary of tbe Nortb
Carolina Tobacco Growers Associa
tion was requested to iesae an ad
dress to the tobacco growers in the
bright tobacco belt, calling their
attention to the Association, its
scope and purposes. The necessity
of an organization of the tobacco
growers of tbe State was discussed
at some of the agricultural meet
ings during tbe State Fair in Ral
eigb, October, 1899. From this
a call was issued by Mr. J. Bryan
Grimes who bad been chosen Presi
dent of the temporary organiza
tion, for a tobacco growers conven
tion lo meet in tbe city of Raleigb,
December 6th, 1899, and another
convention was held at Raleigb,
January 17th, 1900. ;
This convention in January was
well attended by i growers, . ware
housemen and others interested in
tobacco from this State and Vir
ginia. At this meeting a permanent
organization was effected, and the
Nortb Carolina ; Tobacco Growers
Association sprang into existence
witn wen aennea puuposes, not a
rival : but an ally to tbe other
farmers organizations in the State
The tobacco growers were ably
represented and the personnel of
the, convention was strong.
The grievances of the tobacco grow
ers were set before tbe convention,
and with singular unanimity 'it
was agreed : that tney could be
remedied. The consensus of opin
ion was : That there are no in
flaencea set in motion by man, that
can not be met and remedied by
men. The present low prices of
tobacco and their causes were dis
cussed. While it was shown tba
tbe acreage bad materially in
creased during tbe last decade

bacco bad kept apace with the in
crease, and in fact if sucn a tning
were possible; that the next few
years would see the consumption
outstrip the increase in yield. New
territory has been invaded and
manufactured North I : Carolina
bright tobaceo is no longer . a
stranger in tbe Orient,: nor if tbe
islands of the Pacific ocean, while
South Africa and other new -territory
are asking : for our golden
leaf. With the increased demand,
and the limited area : that ' grows
bright tobacco," the growers could
see no just cause for the present
low prices. In fact could see no
cause at all except sucFas has been
brought about -by the f American
Tobacco Company. "
It is alleged that this company
gets as much per pound or per 1,
000 for its products now as it did
ten years ago, when they paid two
or three times as much for tbe raw
material as they now pay. This
has been made poesible with them
by organization and -controlling
the situation. They saw the neces
sitv of controlling the output of
manufactured tobacco, as well as
the price of the raw material... To
this effect they have purchased or
otherwise silenced '-. nearly all
strong competion. By this means
ihey - have taken ' buyers off ; the
warehouse floors, as well as sellers
of manufactured tobacco from out
of the markets. In this way they
have shown us the power and ef
fectiveneBS of organization. They
have given the growers an object
lesson that-they should not be
slow to profit by.. The interest
that was eyinced at the January
meeting of f the tobacco . growers
showed their zeal and determina
tion . in the matter. Tbey have
been working for the enrichmen
of the trustB, and to tbe impover
ishnent of their own fares ana
iammes, until they decided to
make a change to find a remedy
for the low prices dr make one, as
President Grimes So well said in
bis address betore that body.
Some insist that jf the remedy lies
in organization, we will neer get
it, as the organization of the farm
ers is an impossibility. :
Old armv officers laughed in
scorn a the idea of Napoleon cross
ing the Alps with liiaarmy. Some
thing that bad never been done
and was considered by them im-
I possible. Not bo with Napoleon.
He said: - "Impossible is a word to
te found only in the dictionary of
ools." He charged the mighty
peaks and crags, where armies and
cannon had never been. Within
a few days the 'impossible" bad
been accomplished and he and his
army of sixty thousand bad cross
ed the Alps, and were marching
throngh the plains of Italy. The
possibilities of determined men
have never been measured. Tbe
organization of tbe farmers the
tobacco growers, is a Dossibilitv
born of necessity. Have the farm
ers less at stake, le?s to accomplish
than other claeses? The verdict of
tbe public is that no class can be
benefitted more than they, by dis
ereet, compact organization. The
motives that impel them, the neces
sity that drives them, are factors
that will give them strength. Tbe
American Tobacco Company or
ganized for the added accumula
tion of wealth. Tbe farmers need
to organize for self preservation.
Which shall outweigh, the love of
the dollar, or a desire to perpetuate
the freedom and liberties that our
fathers gave ns as an inheritance?
Which should make tbe strongest
appeal to man, the enriching of the
few at the expense of the many or
the giving to our families the com
forts of home, educational and
other advantages that - rightfully
belong to them. Shall the love of
money make a stronger appeal to
the Trust than the love of borne
and all that the name carries with
it does to us? As men . we shontd
spurn tbe thought. We can master
the situation. We can ; cross the
"Alps." It is not impossible.
Nothing that is possible, is impos
sible to determind meu. We do
not lack tbe strength, but the will;
for we are as strong as we are de
termined. The impossible belong
to the weak and vacillating.
By organization, such as the To
bacco Growers Association is work
ing tor, tbe tobacco growers can
maintain their manhood. With
out it, in a few years with present
tendencies, they will have lost
much that our forefathers held
dear independence." Tbe pictorn
is not bright, to be sure, bnt it
would-be folly for us to
spread a veil over its bideonsness
thereby biding tbe troth and de
ceive ourselves.
The Association asks the support
of the tobacce growers in the
bright tobacco belt. It wants
your support. Can it have it? Tbe
strongest appeal that I could pos
sibly make to yon would pale be
side the appeal that comes to you
from your own home, from . those
who are dependent on you for the
comforts and advantages that an
industrious life in a civilized coun-
ry entitles them to. "Neither
ould it strike yon with the force
that your disappointed hopes do,
when on the warehoos9 floor your
obacco is knocked off to tbe only
bidder for that grade of tobacco,
at a price that barely covers the
eost of cultivation and often fails
o do that well. You are asked to
give your ibfluence to the Associa
tion and help restore the tobacco
grower to the same prosperous con
dition that they occupied ten years
ago .when they were reckoned
among the most fortunate farmers
in the State. Will not this appeal
from the farmers, for the restora
tion of the prosperity that marked
tbe tobacco grower find a respon
sive chord in your heart? To say
that nothing can be accomplished
is to surrender without effort, an
unconditional surrender.
The "plan" is to organize every
township and county in the bright
tobacco district, and to get every
tobacco grower in the territory an
active enthusiastic member. In
territory that has been partially
organized we ask that thorough
organization be pushed to com pie
tion. In counties where there has
been no organization, we ask that
the tobaceo growers call a conven
tion and organize nnder the plan
adopted by tbe State Association
Put organizers in the field and
cease not until every township is
thoroughly organized. Is the task
stupendous? Not as large as some
may tMnk.for there will be will
ing helpers to encourage the or
ganizers. But there must be lead
ers in this, as in all successful
movements. Now is the time . to
do effective work. As soon as an
organization is effected, notify the
State Secretary, giving names aud
postofGce addresses of the Presi
dent and Secretary. It has been
said that tobacco can go -lower,
which is true and may he verified
mi less the growers say: It shall
not go lower. In their determina
tion lies the secret of their success.
The reports coining into this office
show that there has be6n a de
crease in the acreage of "tobacco
planted this year of not less than
25 per cent, possibly more. That
should mean better prices for tbe
crop. Will you help to make it
bring the increased price that a
short crop should bring? Organize,
co-operate. Success depends on
these coupled with determination.

. Be fore this country was through
with its contest with the mother coon

N. C, an infant girl whose maiden
name was Pitchford, whose life was
destined to remind her sex that they
too-coold make their lives sublime,
and leave behind them foot-prinis
on the saods of time. After having
almost comprehended a century within
the, scope of her life this person) sister
Rebecca P. Davis, reached the mortal
end of a most eventful life, in Louis
burg, N. C. May mh, 1900, having
lived 88 years, 4 months and 19
days.
When about 16 years old, on De
cember 23rd, 1829, she was led to the
marital altar by Edward Davis, one 6f
Warren county's noblemen, who a
few years ago preceded her to the
world of immortal spirits. Of this
happy marriage were bom eight chil
dren, five of whom, one daughter and
four sons, still remain to bless and
honor their family name.' Four of
their sons volunteered their services in
the bloody conflict of 1861-65, two of
whom, Capt. Weldon E. and Thomas
E. Were martyrs to "the lost cause."

it shall be to stand before the throne

in white robes and palms in their
hands, wnere they shall ascribe the
honor and the glory of their salvation

church.
She had twenty-six grand children,
together with twenty great-grand
children all of whom, who are old
enough, to far as I know, are religiously
inclined. One of her grand sons. Rev.
E. H. Davis, now the faithful and be

Conference. One of her grand-daughters,
Miss Lizzie R. Davis, is now pre

Don't Tell M other.
It is a sorrowful day in . the life of
any boy or girl when he or she has
done something that mother roust not
know. Many a downward career,
many a life ended in sin smd sorrow,
many a bad beginning can be traced
to the first deed that mother or father
must not know. When strict confi
dence between a boy and his mother
ends, something wrong begins.
A young man hardly out of, his
teens was sentenced to the peniten
tiary for ten years for assisting in a
bank robbery." His first words after
the sentence was pronounced were:

There had been . a time when there

were now that he would not have her
