In on interview ? with Mr. T. J.

zation of the Farmers' Union of
Franklin County, In regard to the to
bacco warehouse pfojcct, we learn
that it will be run on the co-operafgfe
fr'jyn Hf Mt-.tn? Hint t'-n nhlii i u? Am
warehouse plan Is tQ give back to the
grower of tobacco the-profits derived
hfrom the sale of his tobacco. At
present they have not decided wheth
er or not they will purchase the
building but have leased same with
that privilege, so after closing the
season all expenses will be paid from
the incomes' from the sales which
commissions and charges will be the
same as other houses, rents or first
installment of the purchase price and
interest will be paid. Then a reason
able interest will be'paid to the stock
holders after which the remainder will
be prorated to the growers who sole*
with them in proportion to the amount
I of their sale. Bythis plan those who
| want *to avail themselves of the ad*
v antunes uf-it can have their tobacco
sold lor the actual expense of the
eeiling. The organization Will take
[placr, no doubt, after the?raeet
