FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER i, 1924 mxbrk ? ?#* TOBACCO GROWERS EXPEL PLOTTERS ENDORSE ASSOCIATION Payment of $2,300,000 Sept. 15 Followed Soon By Settle ment On 1922 and 1923 Crops (S. D. Frlssell) Farmers from many counties of Vir ginia and North Carolina filled the largest theater In South Boston last Saturday and without a dissenting vote repudiated the promoters of a plot to discredit the Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association, demanded the expulsion of W. E. Hazlewood and W. L. Seymour, the disloyal members of the association and alleged promo ters of a plot to stir up friction and litigation against it and endorsed the tobaoco association and its directors in the most remarkable demonstration in favor of cooperative marketing seen in Virginia this year. Mayor Wilburn of South Boston who stated that 110 business men of South Boston have signed a resolution de nouncing the plot to damage the good name of the tobacco association, de clared that the efforts of tobacco spec ulators in Danville and Wilson, N. C? to retard the progress of cooperative j Marketing in Virginia have acted as i s:imulus to its increasing success s i r.r.med several well known tobac co :..s! i who he stated, he had reason to irt-.eve were the real instigators of I he petition which appeared over the i : me* of two young men from South Boston, and between them, have not delivered two hundred pounds of to bacco to the association. The tobacco association which pays j $2,300,000 on September 15 to Its mem bers who delivered bright tobacco of | the 1923 crop in the old belt of Vir- 1 ginia and North Carolina, will make i a final settlement on the 1922 crop of bright tobacco to all of Its Virginia I and Western Carolina members within the next sixty days, according to Uu statement of Richard R. Patterson, General Manager of the association In his report to the association members last Saturday. A complete statement oh the 1923 crop of bright tobacco will be made j to the members very shortly after the final settlement for that of 1922 and according to Mr. Patterson the demand for the association's stocks of the 1923 bright tobacco have been so great that there Is very little left on hand. ' j Hotly resenting a statement recently I published In the Dally Times of 'Wil son, N. C., that the Imperial Tobacco I Company of Oreat Brltlan and the Ex -port Tobacco Company did nok- wi?h to take advantage of the tobacco farm er by buying from the association, Mr Patterson expdMd what he termed a malicious falsehood, by stating that the largest sale of Virginia and Caro Una tobacco ever made, took place when R. C. Harrison of the Imperial Tobacco 'ComjMipy bought 14,180.000 pounds of tobaco from the association. The thousand farmers who voted for the expulsion of two trouble mak ers at South Boston also made it clear that they were not deceived as to the real instigators of this effort to re tard the success of cooperative mark eting by the following statement in the resolution which was unanimously adopted: "We very seriously doubt *b?t the mens' names that appear in this supposed contract were the origi nators of It and we believe that there is behind these men an interest that does not have the welfare of tfie grow er of tobacco at heart but has the In terest of the speculator in tobacco at heart and is willing to go to any lengths to prevent the success and de velopment of the Tobacco Growers Co operative Association. Members of the tobacco association in Eastern North Carolina whose mark ets opened this week are now getting 76 per cent of the bankers' valuation on their deliveries by means of loans made available to every member thru the North Carolina Agricultural Credit Corporation. The Eastern farmers in the associa tion will receive a final settlement on their 1922 crop within thirty days and a payment of $600,000 this month which will bring their receipts on the 1928 crop up to seven eights of the bank ?rs valuation.

October 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and from the preparation that has been made it bids fair to be the moet beneficial and In teresting ever held In the county. Special effort Is being made to have the 1924 fttfr the most educational In the history of the county and already many people in all sections of the coun ty are preparing to have exhibits. There are but few changes in the premiums so until the new premium list is out, the 1923 list will serve as a guide. The Narder Bros. Shows will furn ish the amusements for the midway and will consist of shows and rides that are new and up-to-date. The fair is just a few days earlier this year, but as the crops are early it 1b hoped that there will be enough harvested to have the largest exhibit In the his tory- of the fair.
