Washington, N. C. August 12. 0"
The J Retail- Grocers and General
Merchants Association met here to
night to discuss the move of the to
bacco trust In putting down prices
andjto pass resolutions defining the
oosition ofythe gmerchantshere to
wards this trust.
Such resolutions were written in
addition by President as, F. Tay
loe, of the Association, and these
were adopted without material change
They are as follows.
'Resolved, we, the members of the
Retail Merchants and Grocers' Asso
ciation, of Washington, do hereby
pledge ourselves, that we will no
longer act as distributing agents for
the American Tobacco Company
as against, our farmer friends. In
o
our judgment this strong and over
beaiing corporation has taken undue
and and mean advantage of the to
bacco farmer by putting the selling
price of leaf tobacco below the cost
of production. In our judgment, if
we can get the cooperation of all the
Merchants' Associations thoughout
the South and the cooperation of the
farmers, who are largely the consum
ers, by handling brands of tobacco) President Tayloe speaking to

Hiilsboro, N. C, August 13. Thet

sion just closed acre, spoke out in 00
uncertain tones with regard to the
situation brought about by the low
price being paid for tobacco.
Resoltuions condemning the Tobac
co Trust were adopted, the Gover
nor was requested to act with the Gov
ernors of Virginia and South Caro
lina in regard to the 'monopoly and
national legislation, and a great meet
ing of tobacco farmers endorsed.
The resolutions on the matter were
adopted with unanimit) and are as
follows.

judgement there is no cause Jor the

the executive of Booth Carouru and
Virginia, to use his best eDdwror3
to induce the President of the UnJ
ted States lo enforce any law now
in existence for the suppression of
monopoly in the purchase ot tobacco.
Third. That in our judgement
with the present outlook fo high-
priced cotton, the American Tobac
co Company, would not put the price
of leaf tobacco below the cost of
production at this time but for de

force warehousemen and independent
buyers to sell at a ruinous sacrifice
their present holdings of tobacco.
Fourth. That the president
of this body appoint a committc with
