Private John Allen, Of Tennessee,
and CONGRESSMAN Stanley Are
the Speakers.
MR., ALLEN AT FIRST THOUGHT
FARMERS COULD NOT ORGANIZE
Declares They Have Succeeded thoroughly and
"liavs Astonlshed the World"

"liave Astonlshed the World"
--
There was some confusion in
the public mind as toi the princi-
pal speaker who wasN advertised
TO appear at the meeting Of to-.
bacco growers called ITO assemble
at the court house en- Madison
vile on Monday. because of
the lack of general announce
ment through all the newspapers
of the county there " as rather {.
small gathering and the meeting
was held in the County Court
room, which was overlooking
with farmers principally. Some
who attended the meeting
thought they were to hear Priv
ate John Allen, of Mississippi.
The speaker was Private John
Allen, Of TennessIee.
Before Mr.. Allen was lntro-
dpced Senator Edwards made a
short talk in which he endorsed
the movement jfor organization
along the line1 Of protection for
the farmer AID announced that
Aqll probability he would soon
e LOCAL organizer for the
nCSociety Of Equity, for
County.
Allen then spoke at length
4 the course of his remarks
ae some telling points. He
said he was here at the request
of Felix G.. Ewing, the wealthy
Tennessee tobacco grower who is
responsible for the organization
of the Dark Tobacco District As
ISOLATION, which he said now had
control of 80 percent Of all the
tobacco of the Clarksville dis
trict and was in position to sell
all of it at an average of 10 cents
or to arrange FOR sales on CON-
mission with a wealthy German
capitalist, of New York city. He
told of the srduous work he had
been doing on behalf of the As
ISOLATION during the past two
weeks, saying that he had made
two speeches daily and had not
: averaged four hours sleep IN the
twenty-four. He referred to his
military record, saying he had
served four years as private ia
the Confederate army. He said he
was in this present fight to win;
that his services were free; that
he had refused to accept pay for
the work he was doing in this
organization. He said ne had
always believed that a soldier
who had to be paid to fight would
run away when the shooting be.
gan. He said: eff you think
Pm going to make you politi-
cal speech you are mistaken !"
and insisted there was no room
for politics. in this movement.
Referring again to his record as
a Confederate soldier, he said:
81 have been a Democrat all of
my life, but / haven't a darned
bit of politics. When it comes
to two parties with no difference
in policy, / don't know who's
right" This remark created
considerable merriment among
his hearers. Mr.. Allen said he
represented about p, 900 tobacco
growers in the Dark Tobacco AS
ISOLATION. This was based on. an
estimate of three men to each
farm represented in the organiza-
tion. Out of this 1000 men he
asserted there had been but sew
enteen assertions. All the rest
had stood by their contracts with
the Association and were reaping
the benefit. He painted a pros
porous future for the farmers

and said: ga contented rural
population is the basis Of ma
TONS strength" The speaker
assumed the attitude of denunci-
alton and declared there were
not enough honest men in the
Congress Of the United States to
give relief through legislation.
He also asserted that the Tobacco
Trust had controlled the Senate
and there secured the pigeonhoI-
ing of bills passed through the
House of Representatives by
Congressman Stanley, Congress-
man Gaines of Tennessee, and
others. He spoke favorably Of
the American Society of Equity,
but thought their plan was not as
practical as that Of the Dark To
bacco Association.
Mr.. Allen admitted that it was
an hercuIean task to bind the
farmers into a business organiza-
ton and that doubts as to success
of the movement had been enter
tanned very generally. He said
81 myself thought it a hopeless
undertaking to organize the
farmers, but we have astonished
the world.n He said they had
put their tobacco in the hands Of
their executive committee and
that the committee now had a
man who would take "every
pound at the price the committee
put on it." The prices, he said,
would average 10 cents. He said
they were sampling and prihng
honestly and declared: 81 never
saw an honest hogshead of tobac-
co packed until this movement
started"
The basis of acreage for the
reduction of the crop in the
GAINESVILLE district Mr.. Allen
stated to be seven and half
acres of tobacco for the first fifty
acres of land, and two and half
acres of tobacco for each addi-
tionsl fifty under cultivation.
There has been in Hopkins
county some confusion as to be
proposed basis for the reduction
of acreage and Me-. Allen ex-
planned that this was the basis
adopted, but that while it would
not result in reduction of acre
age in Hopkins county it would,
whea applied to the entire dark
tobacco district, have the effect
of reducing the total crop sharp
ly.
He closed by saying that Con-
gresham A. o. Stanley would
address, the meeting and that
after Mr.. Stanley was through
he would organize and give
those who desired a chance to
sign the contract and agreement
with the Association. He said !:
"Get into the band wagon if you
want to ride. Now's the time.
But if you won't ride, then you
can walk
Mr.. Stanley paid tribute to
Mr.. Allen in beginning his
speech and spoke well of both
the Dark Tobacco Association
and the Society of Equity. He
said that all semblance of poll
tics must be Keep out of this
movement saying, "You can
make no graver mistake than to
allow politics to enter into this
movement" He said: "You
don't owe anything to anybody
in Hopkins county or anywhere
else in this matter.'' He said
further: "You are not here to
oppose any organization, any
man, or any trust, if there be
any, in Hopkins county," and
went on to emphasize that the
movement was solely and dis
tinctly to effect an organization
of farmers along business lines
for their own protection.
