Something Doing In Tobacco
Circles, But What
Is It2
BIG MEN MEET HERE.
Great ReticenCe AS to What
Business Brought Mr..
Ferigo to Kentucky.

The city was full of tobacco men
Tuesday, representing the largest
interests in the country, and includ-
ing the highest officials in the Dark
District Association.
In the Reggie party at Hotel Lath-
am were Messrs. Joseph Ferigo and
w. P. bennington, of N. Y; E. R.
Tandy, of GAINESVILLE; VIM. McMur-
ray, of Springfield, and w. C. White,
of Cadiz.
About the same time another
party arrived, representing the
planters Organization of the Dark
District, In this party were Col. F.
G. Ewing, President; C. P. Warfeld,
Salesman; c. 7. Young, Inspector,
and j. 7. Edwards and Thos. Ed
wards, assistants. Here they
were joined by Mr.. C. F. Jarrett,
local salesman and other prominent
tobacco men.
1t is not known that the Reggie
people and the District Associations
leaders had a meeting. The utmost
secrecy is observed. Both sides per-
sistently deny any knowledge of a
meeting between Mr.. Ferigo and
Col. Ewing, but the fact remains
that they are the recognized heads
of the two tobacco organizations
with interests directly opposed tc
each other. The one has tobacco to
sell and the other is bound to buy,
in order to fill existing contracts. 1t
is a principle of mathematics, that
when 2 and 2 are added together the
sum is A.
Col. Ewing and his associates left
Tuesday afternoon, but Mr.. FerigO,
who is accompanied by his wife, is
still at Hotel Latham and seems in
no hurry to leave, while there is a
persistent rumor that Col. Ewing
has not yet concluded the business
that brought him to the city Tues
day and is daily expected back.
Out of all these visitations and the
excellent opportunities for confer
ences between the buyers and the
sellers, the interests of the holders
of tobacco are not liable to suffer.
Something may or may not de-
velop before many days.

any. 1t will take only a few days
more for the painters to get through.
