said the Association was a business
proposition, and that 1t had proved to
be success was evidenced by the
prices of tobacco today, towit, from
So to $40 for Jugs, and ST. for good
tobacco, as against an average price
of 81 per hundred in 1903 before the
organization of the Association, and
he advised Association members to
not only preserve this successful con-
tinuation by being law-abiding clti-
zens but to keep It out of politics In
any form whatever. He said that
politics had been the rock upon which
many an, organization. with, good In
tentions had been wrecked.
