W. Bemis has an unusually severe

him, the doctor says. No complica-

anxious only because OF Professor

NOT BUYING HERE

Interesting Situation for Indcpend-

10 Hopkinsvilic.
EFFECT ON EUROPEAN TRADE

Inquiry among the local indepen-
dent tobacco warehouses fails To sub
stantlate the rumor that they are
buying tobacco aeound Princeton
and Kuttawa. . the withdrawal Of
some of the Independent buyers
from those towns. and the refusal
OF many Of the farmers TO enter the
Dark Tobacco association, has re-
suited in an interesting situation.
What they will do to market their
tobacco gave rise TO the rumor that
Independent buyers from Paducah
were stepping in and absorbing the
surplus
The Imperial Tobacco company Is
surrounding the difficulty by ship
ping the tobacco loose in cars by
rail from Princeton to their rehand-
ling warehouse at Hopkinsville.
There they prize 1t for shipment
abroad. 1t is probable that such ac-
ton will be the solution OF
all the marketing problems of
the Independent farmers. But Padu-
cab buyers have never bought to-
bacco in the Princeton market and
Il would be too costly TO ship II here
loose. II is said that Ciarksville buy
ers are making purchases in Prince
ton and Kuttawn.
The Dark Tobacco association has
obtained a foothold in Lyon county
with the organization there yester-
day OF a county association. w. ].
Stone was elected chairman. The re-
port says about one-half the tobacco
in the county was pledged.
