Tobacco Growers Meet.

Shelbyville, KY. Oct. 31.--(Spe-
cial. More than 5000 tobacco
growers from all parts of Kentucky
and Tennessee were here today at the
meeting of the National Tbacco
Growers association and the greatest
enthusiasm was manifested by the
large crowd. The old Shelbyville fair
grounds was the scene of the meeting
and in addition to the business of the
day there was grand barbecue with
the feast prepared by Gus Jaubert,
the master of his profession.
One of the chief features consld-
cred at the meeting was the question
of whether the hurley crop should
be dispensed with in 1908 and a par
ticular stress was laid upon that
point. Before the meeting it was ar
ranged that all of those in attend
ance who favored a crop in 1908
should wear a blue badge while all
who opposed crop in 1908 and who
were against lawlessness in any form
should wear the white badge. 1t is
needless to say the white badge Is
iourishing in all its glory, while the
blue badge is not TO be seen.
b The action of the executive COM
mittee of the Burley Tobacco Crow
ers' association at Winchester last
night in approving the plans for doing
away with the 1908 crop was up for
ratification and the situation in the
dark belt as well received a large
amount of attention, the growers
from that section of the state report
ing that the conditions we're favor
able to their organization and that
even the stemming district has about
been brought into the fold.
In addition to business of a regu-
lar order a number of speeches were
made by orators of exceptional
ability.
Shelbyville, KY, Oct. 31.-(Spe-
cial) AT the national tobacco grow
ers' meeting today report of the
secretary showed 600. 100000 pounds
of tobacco of all kinds pledged by all
associations, leaving only 20O,OO0,-

The National Tobacco Growers
adopted a resolution, endorsing the
action of the hurley men to eliminate
the crop of 1908. The action will
