Jordan's Hot Speech Be fore the Tobacco Qrcwers MR, JORDAN PROPOSES TO CORNER WORLD'S TOBACCO MARKET He Supplies the Sensation at Today's Session of the North Carolina To bacco Growers Association . The North Carolina Tobacco Growers" Association met (it 12:110 o'clock this iiftcrnoon in i he House of Kppivontn t ivos. -V liiuntii'i of delegates, representing farmers, lent' dealers ami warehousemen were present from several counties ill the Slate and also Virginia. The nn-eting win calleil to order by Commissioner of Agriculture S. I.. Pat terson. Mr. Patterson slateil that he had been asked to call the im-cling t order by President .1. Bryan Crimes, who wias de tained from attending hy the death of his wife. Mr. I'allcrsnu said: "XVc meet under pi-culinr and singular conditions; of af fairs. Ii js a serious problt-iiu which confronts one of the greatest industries of the State, in which millions of dol lars are invested. "Lot tis examine the sales of this fall ami ten years ago, and you will find the money you an- receiving is much snutllcr year aflei' year. Examine the official ri cords 'at XX'ns'h inglon and you will find some striking ligurcs. In 1KOO the total tobacco produced was ."iJL. til KM Hill pounds, mid the amount brought was .$4:i .( N II l.l K H I. average price S' CCIIIS JHT pound. In lN'.H, the number of pounds raised was 40:i.(HKl.lKK. The amount this crop brought Wis .SlM.tHNI.IMHl. .average price ahoiil ti cenfs per pound. So you see that not withstanding the crop was smaller the price has declined l!it -r cent. This crop has 1101 followed ilie usual law of suply and di'io iml. for ihe price is lower while the prodncticii is also less. .Hid there has been no doorc-.iso in the de nl forv tohaceo. He cited some cotton figure to show how n short crop raised I lie price. It is a serious proMcin ih it confronts you. (Jive it careful research. Mr. .loci Phillips, of Nash, was per manent chairman of ihc m.oting. Said he hail no 'ails yet. and invited suggestions from ihe i!eleg:iis preseul. President Winstnn. .,f the A. an.l M. College, was present, and invite. 1 the lirctnlwrs to visit the college. The invitation was accepted, ami the honi of the visit set for o'clock. On motion of Major Orahain the liody expressed iheir sympathy for President Crimes in his sad bereavement. Chairman Phillips suggested in the ab sence of President (trimcs thai the meet ing adjouni without taking any steps ami meet again for definite action in March. This did not nii'ct with favor. Mr. .1. F. Jordan. of (ireon.-horo, suited that he had heen in the tohaceo business for sixteen yen's ami that the price had been forced down by 'the trusts. II,- stated that he was working on a plan to remedy the evil. He urged no post ponemeni. Colonel Toon, of Ibt'oson county, made an at lack on tin- warehouse system and thought there ought to be some way to rid ihe farmers of having to pay 1 per cent, to si ll their tobacco. Major Orih.im suggested that sonic ar rangement be UKide to sell Ihc leaf to bacco dirt-el lo foreign markets. Mr. .1. I". .Ionian, by ivticst. gave his views on huw the price could be I aiscd. lie gave figures showing how the trust has forced down the price year after yon r. My remedy is to have county conven tions to meet ami elect delegates to m general convention of growers from North Carolina. Virginia. Etst Totinos see and South Carolina. I will make a proposition to buy nil tobacco -at an ad vance of 1.1 jK-r cent., but you must enter into an ironclad contract. 1 will have two leaf buyers on every market and the fanners to be represent ed by (wo farmers. It is absolutely a shame to sit still ami allow the trusts to rob us yinr after year. Take ciguretus: it takes just Sit cents lo make a thousand, and the trusts sells tilt? in at !js!..0. The most damnable and diabolical methods are practiced hy the Anwriean Tobacco Company. 'Hie Dukes cam- in for a warm roast. He stated that the !0,(l(tO given to Trinity College had linen . robbed from Ihe farmers. "It will lake S7.MI0.(MM per year to handle the tobacco crop, but i. is easy enough to gi t the money. I: now ro inein for you to say whether you will go Into this contract w:ieh wili remedy tin- evil." On motion of Sir. .

WHAT THE DICKEV BIRDS SAV They Flutter and Chatter and Gossip and Philosophize on a Crisp Morning. The dickey birds were in assembly this such spirits as battering, coin As usual, they morning, i liey were in I to inspire much noisy nicul and observation. talkinl of many matters which, accord ing lo custom, must be kept sub rnsa. but tliey also made remarks that may bi ll repeated. Here are some thai collided wuli tile reporter s ears: That some old stagers and ynuug woubl-be mashers an- learning that they may blow in cash lor flowers for, and send billet dollX to the prelly cllol'lls girls of an amateur company, and yet bo distanced by dudes who know how lo slick their noses light in the faces of said chorus girls when talking to them. That some "jokes" and "sayings" which are freiiuenily fulmimiied in tli parlor of a pretty hostess are about as hollow ami empty as the shells of ;i certain refc. tory which is sometime servi-d by the aforesaid pretty lmste. That a certain young lady in the city who cullivati's doubt concerning nearly everything that is told ought to take a few lessons in the art of accepting some statements for what they may prove to be worth. That ihe singer of topical songs in the comic opera ought to have raspisl t he belated arrivals at receptions as well as She late coiners at the opera. That people who keep callers wailing for threo-ipiat'iors of an hour cannot hope to have a continuous run of callers of either desirable or uninteresting quali ties. That there is some speculation as whether tin-re will lie any change, ami if so. what kind of change then- will ho in the tactics of war on certain aiuuse-nu-nts with the incoming of new monitors of public morals. . Thai a certain Sunday evening con cert in this city can show a record of aiii-ndaiice on the pati of its meinlH-rs and patrons that cannot be ciiialhil by any other Sunday i-vi ni now being con ducted. That if tin- went her man ever makes such another blunder as occurred Friday night by which the opera attendance was dccit asoil t w o-t birds ami ihe trnuspnrtn lioii expenses of those who had "previ ous engagements" was increased three foiirths. In- will be wailed on by a special commit tec. That the young geiillcnuin who com plains thai he i-auuot pay up his sirmne r lri expenses before he is foiil-iacklcil by Christmas, is being niik4i sy mini thy zed with by the "there are others." That the presence of a big bass violin al a theatrical performance may be de sirable, but when il manages to obscure about one-third of the stage, it is per forming much iiiot'c ihan its proicr part of ihc programme.
