The tooacco growers Of Guilford met
in Greensboro March Srd. Reports

townships.
A delegate submitted an amendment
to the Jordan plan, providing that any
farmer who may sell his tobacco to
any other than the Jordan
syndic4te shall forfeit his entire crop
and subj9c5 him to indictment for
fraud. Toe amendment was defeated.
The meeting was we'll attended and

One Of the county's tobacco growers,
Mr.. w. J Groome, has received let

man of the D mocratic National Execu,

plan is the most practical method of
dealing with trusts he has yet heard Of.
He says:
1T ia practically the same thing as
has been adopted with very satisfRc-
terry results by ike grape growers in
Western New York. Prior to their
ado Otion of this scheme they were oil
at sea about prices, and nobody was
making any money. Now, instead Of
selling the grapes in a miscellaneous
way, they are turned into the mutual
company which they have organized,
There they are Grated and sold by the

The reason may be divided into two
parts. First, White Lad on account

the eff )rts of all weuld-be paint sui
stitutes are directed. Second, the cost
