NATIONAL TOBACCO GROWERS.


Will Meet In Ocala, Fla, Early In Jan
'uary.
Jacksonville, Fla. Nov. 25.-The Ma
tional Tobacco Growers convention, that
will be held in Ocala, Fla, January II,
gives promise of being one of the most
important gatherings ever held in Flor
ida. Secretary Williams, of the Ocala
board of trade, received letter Saturday
from the Governor of Indiana stating
that he. had. appointed. eleven delegates
from the state, all of whom have signi
fed determination to attend. The Gov
ernor of every state in the union will APP
point, If be has not already done so, SIM
liar delegates, and representatives from
every tobacco growing state in the union
will be present. Mr.. Williams is daily in
receipt of letters from tobacco men from
all parts of the country who will attend,
whether they are delegates or not. The
convention is being thoroughly advertised
in all the tobacco journals, and Is arous-
ing a far greater interest than was an
ticipated by the most sanguine. 1t now
looks as If there would be at least 500 del
egates and visitors present from outside
the state. In addition to this, every,
county in Florida will send delegates. z
The Ocala board of trade is making
preparations to entertain. One result of
the convention will be to place promi-
nently before the growers of the country
the adaptability of Florida for tobacco of
all kinds 1tffaV Tf,N

DEMOCRATIC RALLY.
AT Seals Hall Last Night-Sneeches By
Underwood, Altman and Lowe
Ringing sRebiike to Demo-
- cratic BacEsndorg. -

Notwithstanding the short notice given
there was a goodly gathering of city vo-
ters at Seals~ hall last night to hear
speeches in behalf Of city democracy by
Hon. Oscar w Underwood congressman
elect; Hon. id. Altman and Hon. Robt
j. Lowe, ,chajr;nap of the city democratic
campaign9eotnmittee
Mr.. Lowe was the first speaker, and in
a clear, concise and convincing way pre-
scented the issuelbefore the people, point
ing out the truth Chat the best business
government obtainable was a govern
ment created by the voice of democracy.
Following Mr.: Lowe Hon; Oscar w.
Underwood spoke. He made a speech
characteristic of the-loya democrat that
he is declaring it to- be the duty of every
democrat to follow the banner of his
party through ! every contest-national,
state, county and city He spoke highly
of the personal character of the demo-
cratic nominee for mayor, and warned
the democrats in his hearing of the dan
ger to the general good of the party in
even hesitancy In a municipal campaign.
1t was as muchythesduty of democrat
to stand by the NOMINEES in a fight like
this as in national contest.
Hon. J. j. Altman, member of the leg
fslature and nominee for alderman in the
Sixth ward, was next introduced. Col.
Altman spoke on the same line as did
democracy because organized democracy
gave to the people the very best repre-
sentative government He could see no
difference between boilers, and pointed
out the necessity for state legislation for
the better government of Birmingham,
and was of the opinion that this legisla-
ton could best be obtained from demo-
cratic legislator by a democratic city
administra ton. Col. Altman spoke In ex-
allied terms of the democratic nominee
for mayor and expressed the belief that
he was by far the best qualified man in
the race for mayor, aside from his availa-
bility as the regular nominee of the party.
In his forceful style Col. Altman paid his
respects to the white republicans of the
city who are supporting an opposing
candidate, and was glad to see that the
better class of colored men who want
peace, order and good government, de-
cline at this time to follow the lead of
those who seek 10 deliver them to the
enemy.
Each of the speakers was repeatedly
cheered, and the meeting was enthusiast
tic.

SUGAR TRUST IN TROUBLE
Baltimore Refining Board Pro-
nounCed illegal.
MINORITY STOCKHOLDERS
Kick and Say that They will Take Legal Steps
if The Refinery is Closed-legal -
Opinion of the Affair.

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 25.-The Sugar
trust has encountered an unexpected OBJ
stacle to its control of the Baltimore
Sugar Refining company. Lawyers who
have been studying the situation claim
that the recent election of directors,
which resulted in the defeat of the old
board, composed of Baltimorans, and
the substitution of a board in sympathy
with the trust was Illegal
The old management was unanimous
in favor of starting the plant at Curtis
Bay, which is the best equipped plant of
its size in the United States, as soon as
possible and had made arrangements to
begin the manufacture of sugar by the
middle of December, providing work for
800 men. The sugar trust wanted the
plant to remain idle and at the annual
meeting about two weeks ago showed
that it owned a majority of the stock of
the Baltimore company and therefore
elected successors to the Baltimore di-
rectors. c. Morton Stewart was the
only resident of Maryland elected a di-
rector, and as the laws of Maryland re-
quire that majority of the directors be
residents of this state 1t is the opinion
of several lawyers who have examined
the situation for the minority stockhold-
erS that the election is void.
The sugar trust is now considering this
phase of the situation and it is reported
that it will call the stockholders together
again for the purpose of increasing the
Maryland representation in the board and
avoiding the legal complications, which
would almost certainly ensue.
The minority stockholders have not
abandoned the movement to have the
works operated, and IL the sugar trust
does not issue orders that will start the
plant up and enable it to earn returns
upon the quarter of million dollars or
more stock, held in this city, within rea-
sonab BILE length of time, legal steps will
be taken to enforce the right of the local
interests.
A large minority stakeholder, speaking
of the situation said today: 1--WE have
no desire to go into court and we earn
estly hope that the sugar trust will not
attempt to close the refinery. We will
not resort to law unless we are driven to
1t, but if we are forced to the wall we
shall protect ourselves. We are advised
that any efforts to freeze us out for the
benefit of the trust would be quickly dealt
with by the courts and that any minority
holdings cannot be destroyed for the
benefit of the sugar trust"

New York, Nov. 25-Omcials of the
American Sugar Refining company say
