All memberi of the Cotton and To bncoo Grower* Cooperative Market ing Association* are reminded of and requested, to attend the regular Conn ty meeting1 to be held In Loulsburg on Baturday morning, May 24th, 1923 at 11 o'clock.

Let everybody at 4 an i\ TOBACCO GROWERS WIN JURY TRIALS Virginia Courts Hold Land lord Member Mu3t Deliver All Tobacco To Association The Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association wltMn a period of tec days recently won two Important le gal victories In Its first cajes before Virginia Juries. The first case of the tobacco co operative to be tried before a Jury re sulted In a victory only second In Importance to the recent decision of the North Carolina Supreme Court upholding the contract of the asso ciation. In this case before Judge K\indley at Charlotte C. H., the. as sociation wag awarded liquidated damages at 5c per pound, attorney!' fees and court costs for tobacco grown by a non-metnoer minor sou of a member of the association which was delivered on the auction floors. In holding a member of the asso ciation liable for tobacco grown by a non-member the court In this first Jury trial this month, strengthened the position tattn by association of ficials that every pound of tobacco grown upon amember's land, wheth er ha has tenants or share croppers, or whether he makes his cwn crop In 1923, shall be delivered to the as sociation. A still more striking victory" was won by the tobacco cooperative be tcre~ a Virginia jury last week at Rustburg In Campbell County, Va., in its case against V. W. Martin, when Judge Barksdale, ruled that the taking of the defendant's tobacco by a sheriff on levy was ne defense against hi3 obligation to deliver to the association. Judge Barksdale also ruled that the defendant was liable for damages on tobacco growji by his wife and minor children when it was deliverd outside the coopera tive association. In violation of the contract The Jury render' d a ver dict for the association of $70 In li quidated 'damages and $75 in coun sels' fees. Major W. T. Joyner, Assistant Counsel of the association, from Pal t igh. N. C., represented it in both of these important cases, which give legal backing to .the announcement made lkst year by directors of the to bacco cooperative that thoy would expect delivery to the association of all. tobacco grown u pun the lands of its members in 162$.
