The Louisville and Cincinnati Tobacco
Syndicate.

The Farmers Home journal says
the big deal by which the Louisville
and Cincinnati tobacco warehouses
were to fall into the hands of an En-
glish syndicate, has fallen through,
but in its place another scheme has
appeared more dangerous to farmers,
if possible, than the syndicate. The
plan is to form gigantic stock com
pany with capital Of $4,000, 900, II
certain amount of the stock to be is
sued to the present proprietors of the
warehouses, which will be preferred
stock, the remainder of the stock to
be put on the market and sold. The
entire leaf tobacco business of the
two markets is then to be managed
and controlled by this company
through a board of directors. and it
will be a matter of indifference to
the company whether tobacco is
shipped to Louisville or Cincinnati.
They will sell tobacco at any ware
house they may choose, and under
such rules and regulations and with
such fees and regulations rs the VIII
of the company may dictate; and it
is their intention to load the princi-
pal buyers and manufacturers pretty
well with stock. 1t will be in their
power to "freeze out" any proposed
competition. The Journal further
says the consummation of this
scheme depends only on their ability

BILL FLOYD THE PHOTOGRAPHERS.
A Dyed-in-the-Woo scoundrel in the
Clutches of the Law.


There was some mistake in the
LEAF-CHRoNICLE's notice of VIM.
M. Floyd's robbing business the
other day. Instead of Daniels store
in Dickson it was t. V. Eskridge q
Co. at Bald Springs, Humphreys
county, that he robbed, as is learned
from the Dickson Press, and he is in
jail at Waverly. The bold william
drove a cart to the store and loaded,
and the trail of the cart led to his
detection and arrest. This man
Floyd is the same rascal who charged
10. and William Dean with burning
Mrs. Marable's stables in 1887. Floyd
was then keeping the ferry here and
married a respectable lady on the
south side, which in connection with
the trust of the ferry, gave him some
standing, though he was stranger
here. He concocted the story of the
Deans burning the stable and told
what he pretended to hear them say in
discussing the matter while crossing
on the ferry. The Dean boys were
prosecuted and would have gone to
the penitentiary, but being able to
give bond they set to work to discov-
er who Floyd was and brought up
the testimony proving that he stole a
mule in Hopkins county, KY, where
he was raised, and ran away to keep
out of the penitentiary. This proof
was SO clear and stlong that it
destroyed Floyd's testimony and
Squire Bailey discharged the Dean
brothers, but it cost them nearly 5000
to make the defense. The Rose wife
he married on the south side soon
died and later he married daughter
of Riley Slayden, of Woods Valley,
an excellent lady of good family,
who was visiting her father at the
tine of the last robbery, and that is
where he carried the stolen goods,
and was captured at a hrandance in
that vicinity. The Press says he has
two or three other wives in different
parts of the country, and that he has
served two terms in the penitentiary.

Fine Wheat.

a. Y. Goodpasture, of st. Bethle.
hem, made an average of 235 bushels
OF wheat to the acre, the best aver
age that we have heard of in this
section this year. lie has sold l5O
bushels of the crop to the State Agri-
cultural department at Nashville for
distribution az seed. 1t is of the
Tulcaster variety.
Mr.. GoOdpasture has one of the
finest wheat farms in the country il
has been made SO by system of fer
tilizing and changing crops just
what every farmer should do. This
is regarded rs an extraordinary yield
for the season, when the best lands
that yield - bushels in good wheat
years, have dropped down to 10 and
II bushels. There is, no doubt, some
virtue i'm the character of wheat aud
quality Of the seed sown. 1t certain
ly pays to seed good grain.
