Major n. A. Gregory addressed the assembly
81 follows:
Before starting the sale l would like 70 say
lust . few words somewhat in explanation OF
tlis work We are abont 70 begin. We have come
Gown here for the purpose OF making nh euort
10 establish bright loose leaf tobacco market
an your city. We are making this oifort al the
t,uince-of parting with some OF the best peo-
pie and leaving one OF the best bright tobacco
markets in North Carolina. However this may
Do OF no interest 10 YOU but Will say Tor our
solves and the little party We bring that wo have
come 10 cast our lot with the city OF Richmond
hnd that We intend 10 sink or TO swim upon the
success Of this enterprise. We did not. come
mere 70 run any educational campaign IOr sne
business men OF Richmond Far from IL. we
anything which Richmond already has. we
haFo como, bringing vi h us a comparatively
lew enterprise FOR your city; an enterprise
iacked ana sustained not only by farmers
tyInpaihy anu farmers patronage, bat by farm
tls money a. well We have come here IN ooe-
fence 70 an ldea which some OF tho farmers
t)"h ia ouf section have. that they wonld Ike
he privilege OF selling their tobacco in
me Kocd OLD North Carolina way, and
mlght say IN the good old Virginia way,
- they DO In South Boston in Danyille and IN
Iyncbburg, and under which these places have
- grown and prospered. SO then | may say
mat the farmers are virtually knocking 1T the
yates OF your city asking the privilege Of aces,
90 your great manufacturing establishments
ana OF sellnR thelr tobacco in the way in which
they prefer. We think we can add interest TO
your city "a several ways Down IN North Caro-
.1a during The last season we employed
rom 10 70 100 hands IN picking and a.
b"Iing toDacco sent W by farmers.
