' As a result of the merger of tbe Imperial and American C jmpahies, those who, for sundry reasons, failed to sell their tobacco have seen a rapidly declining market, many holders having felt severely, a drop of from 28 per cent, to 83X percent, in the price. . With these trusts the apparent masters of the situa tion, controlling as they do, the manu facturing markets of the world, buying up by force and otherwise tobacoojnann facturlng industries the world over, they begin to show that their infant days are of the past, controlling both the raw as well as the manufactured product, with the manufactured product higher while yet the raw product Is lower, lower, tower. To meet these conditions at the instance of certain of tha largest and most successful growers of the weed In tbe State, 'President John 8.Cunlngham of the Tobacco Growers Association, Is sued the call for a convention. Every Important movement takes on the char acter of the Initiative, hence,; the work of today la but the begtnning'of a deter mined effort on the part of the tobacco growers of the State to protect their in terests. The war against the trust la on, Not forgetful of the victory won In the fight against tbe oppression 'of the Jute Bagging Trust, the tobaeco farmer, backed by the warehousemen and tbe Ixf- dependent manufacturer has take cour age and his groat weaponbrain Is prs- pvinsf for the fray.1" Will the? succeed? On the principle, In union there Is strength,' i the farmers will organize and there be hearty co-operation on the' par of every grower warehousemen,''1 manufacturer and sympathetic Interest, success is s spred. .
