When the movement was started,
about FIVE counties in Tennessee and
as many in Kentucky were all that
we had in mind. We organized
these solidly and without difficulty.
getting far more than the 20 per
cent required under our constitution.
After this we consented to take in
other counties, and have from time
to time done this. | am told one
buyer is attempting to make it ap-
pear that we have not the requisite
seventy per cent. We have far
more than seventy per cent. but of
course this buyer, who thinks, or
pretends to think, he knows more of
our affairs than we, for his own pur-
poses, would like to embrace the
whole tobacco area Of the u. S. and
say we have not the seventy per
cent of that. However, | do not
think he will deceive many people.
His maneuvers are easily understood.

HOW SEEDS TERMINATE.
Writer Describes Method by Which Plum and Apricot Tree Enter
 on Stage of Life.

"The method by which 8 plum or ap- ricot tree makes it's entrance upon the stage of life Is interesting" says Pear sons. ''The hard shell of the plum stone splits it into halves through the stren- nous power of the embryo within. Out of the kernel the little root emerges and grows fat, while the nutty kernel also divides into it's halves, and each grad ually transforms itself into thick fieshy green leaves which show above the ground, while between these peculiar leaves two pretty, bright, ordinary pairs of green leaves above ground-one pairs of gren leaves above ground-one pair fat and full of food, which they keep passing on to the plum infant, the other pair thin and delicate, but daily growing stronger to take up the task of manufacturing food, not merely handing on stores, so that the plant may grow and flourish when the stores are fin- ignn nd p

MOE HARRIS IN HARTFORD
Former Boxing Promoter Sees NOth-
 ing in Sight There.

Moe Harris, who runs a summer park in Waterbury, was in this crty yesterday, says the Hartford Courant. When Harris lived here he was a boxing promoter and he pulled off the first fight in the Coliseum. He was also the first manager to offer big purse for a fight and he gave $2,OOO to Tommy Ryan and Dick O'Brien when they fought in the Coliseum. Dick Roche refereed that go and Ryan chopped O'Brien into ribbons.
 Harris said yesterday that the out look for the revival of boxing in this state was very poor. He has talked with a number of men interested in the sport and they do not see any thing to encourage them. He sard Harry Durant framed a bill for the last general assembly, but as he did not meet with any success before the committee the matter was dropped. Since then nothing has been done and there is no likelihood of anything be- ing attempted in this line.

RAGING.
GREAT SPORT ON THE
 PROVIDENCE TRACK

Providence, R. l., Aug 30.-The fea- ture of the opening day of the grand circuit meet here was the mile paced in 2:02% by Dariel, who thereby re- duced the worlds pacing record for mares, without n wind shield, held by herself, from 2:03A. Weather con ditions were excellent for the attempt and the track was fast. On the sec ond score Alta Mcdonald nodded for the word, and the little mare was off She made the first quarter in O:3l nat and the half in 1:01A. Here the runner began to pick up, and at the three-quarters was alongside, the time being 1924. Dariel flashed un- applauded wildly when the figures were hung out. .s-
 There was a card of four races, the 206 pace being the one in which the most interest was shown. Nathan Straus was the favorite in the field of sevne starters and justified the confi- dence placed in him by winning in straight heats, though in the first he had to reduce his own mark from 2O5h to 2:O4%. The second heat was stepped in the same time, Aristo, the favorite, had an easy time of 1t in the 2:1S trot and was never hard pushed. Morning Star was looked upo mas the only thing in the 2:20 pacing event and won handIly ill straight heats. ".~-i
 A crowd of 4,000 persons saw the races, a good number for the opening day. John Splan matched Dan R., 2O1A, yesterday against Major C., handled by Geers, the race to take place at the Indianapolis State fair, September 12-16, for a purse of $2,- 500.

AT OLYMPIC GAMES
Great Records Made at the
 Worlds Fair Stadium.
EWRY BEAT WORLDS BROAD JUMP
Athletes From Many Nations Met the Pick of American Sprinters, Jumpers, Distance and
 Weight Men.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 3o.-One worlds record was broken, two Olympic rec Ords were lowered and one Olympic record was equaled as result of the first days events in the Louisiana Pur. chase exposition revival of the Olympic games.
 Athletes from many nations met the pick of American sprinters, jumpers, distance and weight men in the first six events of the card that will last all week. There were also four handi- cap events that resulted ill more even competition and gave several close finishes.
 Although the earlier part of the day was threatening, when the games be- gan there was nothing to be desired from a weather standpoint. While the clouds may possibly have kept the att tendance down there were about 5000 spectators present when the first heat in the fifty meter run, the opening event, was run.
 A burst of cheering followed the an- nouncement of the time in this heat, 2 seconds, as it equaled the record es- tablished at the Paris revival of the Olympic games in 1900. The second heat was also run in record time, as was the final.
 The first Olympic record to go was broken by John Flanagan of the Great CT New York Irish Athletic association, the holder. His first essay with che sixteen pound hammer resulted in q throw of 169 feet inch, exceeding the record made by him in Paris by nine inches.
 The standing broad jump brought out field that has never been euualed in the history of American athletics. The first jump, that of 0. N. King of Mckinney, Tex, exceeded the Olympic record by three-fifths of an inch. Ray Ewry of the New York Athletic club, holder of the Olympic and worlds rec. ords, followed, and on his first jump beat, the Olympic record and came within two inches of equaling the worlds record with jump of Il feet 2 inches.
 Ewry demonstrated that his cham | pionship form had not deserted him, and he established a new worlds rec ord of II. fleet 47s inches. His jumps were as follows: Il feet 2 inches, Il feet PA inches, Il feet A inches, 1 breaking his own worlds record of II feet inches and Il feet 5Ts inches. 1 While the record established at Paris by G. w. Orton of the University of Pennsylvania for the 2,500 meter steeplechase was not seriously endan- gered that event proved one of the most interesting of the days sport. John J. H. Daly of Ireland got off in the lead and ran a magnificent race, but was headed by James D. Lightbody of the Chicago Athletic association on the last lap and beaten to the tape by a scant margin.
 The steeplechase was novelty in this part of the country and awakened great enthusiasm among the specta- tors, especially when the contestants negotiated the ten foot water jump. Several of the tired runners failed to clear, and each splash was greeted by prolonged cheering.
