growers OF Kentucky and the warehouse
trust o.! Cincinnati and Louisville held
separate conventions here Thursday and
Thursday night. OF this month, and there
was great excitement among the 600
tobacco men here. The growers insisted
that the consolidation of Cincinnati and
Louisville warehouses was for the purpose
of controlling prices and product. The
warchouscmcn laboyed all day to convince
the producers that they were work ing only
for their good, but they failed to see it
that way.
The producers were in session all day,
and late AT night adopted :, series Of rcsolu-
tons, which, ii carried ont, will establish
producers warehouses in Lexington, Mays
vile. Henderson and Greensboro. The
adoption of these resolutions appear to
have disconccri ID the warchouscmen, who
lost their bearing and did not appear
to know what to do The tobacco growers
convention was presided over by Hon.
John b. Harris, of Madison county, for
merly State senator. Ex-senator John 5.

governor of Kentucky, and many other
