| At the meeting of The County Union
of the A. S. of E. held here last Sat
urday, there seemed 10 be a general
demand that Mr.. M. F. Sharp, a del
egate to the National union, give a
history of the convention and the
facts leading up to the turning down
of Everitt as National President. Mr..
Sharp responded prefacing his discus
sion by the statement thai probably
every delegate in attendance had with
in the past year or Two had heard
| it rumored that there was something
wrong about the National manage
ment of the A. s. off This SEEM
ed to be the universal sentiment of
the delegates. But in the face of this
continued the speaker, I'VE all ad-
mired Mr.. Everilt as the originator
of the great plan of the American
Society of Equity and were ready
and willing to overlook and forgive
few short comings In him." This
spirit he said prevailed and dominat-
ed the mind and action of practically
every delegate to the convention when
it first assembled, but when it was
made clear 10 the delegates that Mr..
Everitt had used the order and The
position as President thereof, to ad-
vance his own personal cudes the del
egates clamored for some other as
the head of the organization and IL
was in response to this public demand
that MIR. Everitt publicly announced
that he would not permit his name
to be offered for reelection. Mr..
Sharp read memoranda of specific
charges against Mr.. Everitt to the
effect that he turned over to his news
paper Up-to-Date Farming, slips on
each yearly dues sent in by members
of the A. S. of E., at large, that
should go to the National Treasury,
thus appropriated hundreds of dollars
yearly to his own use and benefit
that belonged to the American So
ciety of Equity. He said that it was
proven by overwhelming evidence
that Mr.. Everitt in conducting his
seed business had sent to Southern
Indiana and bought carloads of No.
2, common wheat and had it shipped
in and sold it as fine seed wheat, at
three or four dollars bushel.
Many other discreditable things he
said were proven against Everitt, all
Of which led the delegates to be-
seech him not to permit his name to
be presented 10 the convention for re-
election, all of whcih MR.. Everitt did
with seeming satisfaction and after
all the National officers were elected
Mr.. Everitt expressed himself as be-
ing well pleased with the selection.
1t was not said MR.. Sharp until
the fifty year contract for the pub
lciation of the official organ, which
he as President, made with himself
publisher of the Up-to-Date Farming,
was repudiated by the convention that
Mr.. Everitt kicked out of he harness.
and it could be plainly seen ere the
vote was taken how the people stood
on the matter. A rising vote was TAX
en- and not a one present rose in op-
position to the proposition to indorse
the action of the recent National Con-
vention.
1t was announced that during the
meeting that all inferior tobacco such
as trash and few other grrades,w will
this year, be priced and shipped imme-
diately after its receipt and sold on
the market just as quickly as posi-
BILE. The reason is that these low
grades mixed among the Green River
very much lessons the opportunities
for the sale of same and will bring
as much put on the market when re-
ceived as it will to hold it over, re-
dry it and hold with hte Green River.
