Equity Meeting at Cambridge.

The Cambridge union of the A. S. OF
e. held a meeting at Blue Ribbon hall,
Rockdale, on Saturday afternoon. The
attendance was good, and the meeting
was interesting. j. @. Hanson acted as
chairman and J. K. Norgord as secretary
by appointment. The main discussion
at the meeting was concerning the pledge
that farmers are to sign, in regard to
holding their tobacco crops until fair
price is secured After various discus
sions of the question it was agreed upon
that a pledge to the effect that any
farmer wishing to sell his tobacco on the
A. S. of e. plan should agree not to sell
or give any option on the crop before
October 6th. At said date the tobacco
growers branch of the A. S. of e. holds
it's state meeting at Madison, and if the
prospects for fair price for tobacco at
the time are not good, further measures
will then be decided upon for storing
the present crop and holding until a fair
price is secured 1t was also agreed by
the society that anyoEe wishing his crop
sold by this proposed plan that he pay
fee of % cents per acre for the amount
of tobacco raised, said fee to be paid
when the pledge is signed, and the
money obtained in this way to be depos-
tied in the local treasury. George Gul-
lickson was appointed to solicit for sign
ers to the pledge. After the work of the
meeting was completed, a business meet
ing was held at which officers were
elected for the ensuing six months. The
following officers were elected: Pres,
l.. x. Lier: Vice Pres, Jas. Townsend;
Sec., John E. Norgord; Treas, Geo. 0.
