AN ASSOCIATION
WILL BE FORMED
Loose Tobacco Buyers Will Organize
Tomorrow.
TO CONTROL LOOSE SALES.
Mr.. Silas Shclburne Outlines His 20
sition in the Fi.ht for I. Charter.
Thinks His Action i'll Oppos-
ing Was Justified.
TO CONTROL LOOSE SALES.

An association OF the loose tobacco
BUYERS OF Richmond, to nave control Of
the sale of loose tobacco at the ware
houses, will be organized at meeting to
be held at II O'Clock tomorrow morning
at The place of Noting, Sons & Co., on
East Cary Street.
The formation of the association grows
out OF the recent agitation Tor d chaItef
for the Richmond Tobacco Trade, the
opposition to the measure and its defeat
The buyers are now going to take the
matter into their own hands, and, While
not wishing to appear antasonistic to the
trade, will take active measures toward
protecting themselves.
At the meeting tomorrow they will
form ulate a set of rules governing the
sale of loose tobacco and will nreSent the
same to the Richmond Trade. asking its
er.dcrsation. They will also ask the trade
to get a charter from the court without
further ado. II the propositions meet
with the approval OF the trade, the rules
will be embodied in the bylaws, and the
two-the trade and the aSsociation-Will
work in conjunction.
But if such is not the case the buyers
will get q charter of their own and will
act Independently Of the trade. A paper,
setting forth the idea as stated above,
has been circulated among them and has
received the Signatures of the most
prominent buyers in the city.
They are directing their opposition
mainly TO the regulation by which the
buyers pay s cents per hundred pounds
of loose tobacco sold them at the ware
house. The farmers pay a like amount
Now, the buyers say that they handle
their own tobacco after it is sold to
them. and that the charge is unnecessary
and UNJUST.

\ Pile Remedy Which Really Cures

:
Mr.. d. f. Collins, of Garrett. says: Il
commenced using the Pyramid Pile Cure
at a time when my case was bad.
thought nothing could cure it, but be-
fore L had used q tifty-cent package l
began to feel much better, and now
can honestly say L am entirely cured. 1t
is the quickest and surest remedy l have
ever tried or heard Of.
From Thomas Willison. of Port Jar
Wis: Just one package of the Pyramid
Pile Cure did wonders for me. and l lose
no opportunity OF recommending such a
remedy.
Amos Croker, of Worcester: after
having gone through an unsuccessful sur
gical operation for piles, and after trying
any number OF salves and ointments
without success, it is no wonder that
can find words of praise for the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure. One package did me more
good than all the remedies I had tried
before. 1t is SO simple and painless to
use that l felt no inconvenience whatever
while using It,"
1t has been thoroughly tested by ply
sicians in every State in the Union. and
the best authority recognize it as the
safest, surest and cheapest pile cure
known.
The Pyramid Pile Cure cures every
form of piles-itching, protruding or
Neutrality-suspicious. a particle of pain.
1T cures without detention from daily
occupation, being in suppository form and
used at night.
Its effects are lasting and not merely
temporary relief
More than all this. the Pyramid Pile
Cure is entirely harmless, containing no
opiate. narcotics or mineral poisons and
cannot harm the most delicate.

universal satisfaction wherever used.
