year, and we have absolute proof that he is the

TO testify 10 and prove Meyers Chicago record"
Mr.. Pinkerton says the chief means OF lden-
tthcation is a small scar the inner side of the
left hand, caused by bullet wound. The mark

Tertiary. That of Meyer, Of the Western Fed

THE GREAT FIGHT OF THE To-
BACCO GROWERS AGAINST
THE TRUST.

Friday, August %, will be remem-
bered as red letter day for the farm
ers of Prince Edward.
Fifteen hundred sturdy men and
fair women gathered on that day in
Richardson grove near town, and
but for the threatening clouds this
number would have been doubled.
The picnic was given by the Dark
Tobacco Growers Association of the
county, and nowhere could there have
been selected more beautiful place
for the occasion. The orators Of the
day were Congressman Flood, of Ap-
pomattox, and Hon. Joel B. Fort, of
"Black Patch" fame, Of Tennessee.
Preparations had evidently been made
for the feeding of twice the number
