MAI. GINTER RESIGNS.
Ill Health the Reason for Leaving the
American Tobacco Directory.

<bhChiSoh AOCttCCO oitCSoOlfs
Richmond, May 1.-Maj. Lewis Ginter,
the millionaire cigarette manufacturer,
has just resigned his position rs direc-
tor of the American Tobacco Company.
He confirms this tonight, and says that
his reason for doing so is on account of
ill health. Mr.. Ginter is now 75, and his
retirement from the diectory of the Amer
lean Company is accepted as practical
withdrawal from active business. His
present step does not, however, affect,
nor will it affect his connection with that
great corporation. He is IL large holder
of it's stock, which he will retain.
1t is Mr.. Ginter's habit to 20 to Europe
or abroad elsewhere almost every year
He will no doubt follow this practice this
year. Mr.. Ginter is the wealthiest man in
Virginia, If not the whole South. His
possessions are variously estimated at
from $5,000,000 to SO, 0D0 600. All of this
fortune was made in the cigarette bust
ness here. His Success was the most
phenomenal of any in the South since the
war. Maj. Ginter came here from New
York about 1871 with but little capital.
He joined Joseph Allen in the manufac-
ture of cigarettes. The business grew
from that insignificant step to it's present
immense proportions. 1t is not known
who will succeed Maj. Ginter In the
American directory.
