TOBACCO GROWERS
OF Virginia and North Carolina Called
To Meet in DanvilIe, Va, Tuesday,
Nov. Fl, 1903, to Consider Plans for
State Or2aniZatiOn.

The Progressive Farmer knows as
yet nothing more of the plans for the
meeting called in the following adj
dress than is given in the address it
self, but we commend the idea to our
readers and shall be glad to have
them discuss it in our columns:
'TO the Tobacco Growers OF Virginia
and North Carolina:
From the best information, we be-
lieve that the present tobacco crop is
an average one in quantity, and a
superior one i'll quality, but the pres
ent prices offered are far below the
cost OF production. We urge the
farmers in every county of the State
to meet and elect delegates to Il
State Convention of Tobacco Grow
ers' Association TO be held in Dan
vile. Va, on Tuesday succeeding the
third Monday in November, which
convention will consider plans for Il
State organizations to be adopted in
each county and district in the State,
so that the interest of the producers
will be protected.
We urge all tobacco growers
to hold their crop of tobacco and not
offer it for sale until after the State
Convention above called.
''}. That Il committee of five be
appointed, whose duty it shall be to
take all necessary steps to extend
and advance this move and to make
all necessary arrangements for hold
ing said State Convention.
Il. That we urge the tobacco grow
ers of our sister State, North Carroll
nA, to join with us in this move and
send delegates to said convention, to
be held in Danville, Va, as above
mentioned

Other Judges Responsible.

\ The Spartanburg JOurnaIspeaking
bf the Tillman jury has this to say of
the other judges who had a share in
the case before Judge Gary was ap-
tOinted:
| There is a heavy responsibility
resting back of this on those who
allowed the determination of this
grave and important case ever to
gtt into the hands of these men,
There is Judge J. c. klugh, of Able
Vile, who, at the April term of Rich
land court, granted continuance
on no showing at all and took the
first step in allowing an outrage to
be committed on Justice.
There is Judge ID. A. Townsend, of
our own circuit, whose conscience al
lowed him to transfer this case to a
county where he knew the people
we're preiudiced In favor of the fami-
lyof Tfllman and against the politi-
cn faction with which the deceased
intimes past had affiliated. There
is q great weight of responsibility for
this rape of justice resting upon the
shoulders Of Judge Townsend.
1t sounds like the methods OF an
Italian vendetta to suggest it. but
theae is good reason to suspect that
ond of the ubiquitous witnesses for
thessdefense who saw everything and
heard everything and was at all
times conveniently V on hand just at
the proper moment was actually en-
gagged i'll advance to go to Columbia
and be prepared to act as Il witness
in sthe tragedy that was already
contemplated and designed. There
were Others on the stand whose tes-
timony was so manifestly perjured as
to be clearly apparent to any intel
ligent person.

Vagrancy Laws.
Concord Tribune.

concord lflDune.
Says the Winston Sentinel:
''Thereis is a suspicion that the vagrancy
law on the statute books of North Caro-
lima may be made to procure just as
good results as that one Georgia enacted
The proper enforcement o the law is the
thing and Raleigh is Il adin a movement
to bring this about We have in the
State counterparts of the idle classes
which Georgia has set to wOrk-mainly
darkeys living on petty thefts and white
men in the cotton mill towns subsisting
on the labor of their wives and children.
Raleigh III taking initiative steps in this
matter, is doing North Carolina a real
service
The .SentineTs suspicion is we'll
founded, the vagrancy law is all
right if properly enforced. There is q
vagrancy law in Concord; we never
heard of itsbeing enforced, other than
once or twice it has been directed
against a few idle negroes.
The idle negro and the white man
who lives off his children's earnings
are not the only ones to be consider
ed. not by n long shot.
If the vagrant law were enforced
it might surprise many OF us to sec

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

1t never Injuries an orchard to ma
nure 1t.
Judicious annual pruning is essential
with the peach.
Low headed trees resist the wind
better and the fruit Is more easily
picked.
In grating large tree it is best not
to try to graft the whole tree in one
season.
Budding on certain slow growing and
somewhat incongruouS stock is the
best way of dwarfing.
In most cases the cause Of moss ap-
pearing on the stems of apple and 9th
er fruit trees is wet, cold, undrained
land.
The soil for roses should be rich and
of such tenacity that it will hold TO-
gethcr when pressed. Sand and clay
mixed is good.
All wood that IS more than two years
Old should be cut out from the currants
and GOoscberries. They will produce
more fruit, even if the vines are not so
large.

The Intelligent Juror.

Some of the people who sit on ju-
ries in this country determine prop
erty rights and, what is far more
grave, pass upon issues of life and
death, haven't sense enough to tote
entrails to bear. Indeed, if they
had they would not be allowed to

OF lawyers who have the selection of

them from the most ignorant and
therefore the most impressionable

ing said as Introductory o the fol

STOMACH TROUBLE CAUSES
HEART TROUBLE.

Heart trouble is almost always caused by
stomach trouble The stomach fails to di-
gest all the food, and the residue ferments,
forming excess OF gas. which distends the
walls OF the stomach. causing a pressure on
the nerves and arteries that lead to the heart
This causes the heart to palpitate or skip a
beat occasionally, or both. which is usually
very alarming, causing grave apprehensions.
Rydales Stomach Tablets will prevent
this trouble They digest the food and pre-
vent gas from forming in the stomach. If
there is no gas In your stomach your heart
