CONVENTION ON VESSEL

NEW YORK, July 2.-Having held
their tenth annual convention on the
deck of the Old Dominion line steam
ship jamestown, one hundred members
of the Tobacco Association of the I'm
tied States arrived here this afternoon
for a sightseeing tour. The business
transacted amid the cool ocean breezes
consisted chiefly in the election of Of
ficers for the ensuing year and the
reading of the presidents report.
One resolution passed and sent to the
department of agriculture asks that the
government send experts to test the soils
of Virginia and North and South Caro-
lima and recommend what kind of fer
tilizers should be used. 1t was also re-
solved to urge the tobacco growers Of
Kentucky Maryland and North and
South Carolina to curtail the production
Of leaf for the reason that at the pres
ent time there is such large surplus
of tobacco that the tobacco trusts has
caused the price of leaf to be reduced to
great extent. With check placed on
the production the growers and dealers
will be able to demand a higher price
for the leaf they hold
While the tobacco men may hold one
business meeting at the Imperial hotel
where they are staying they are all here
for good time and are not DESTROYS Of
attending any meetings while the pres
Ient heat wave lasts. They will return to
the south during the week.
T. M Darlington, or Richmond, was
reelected president. w. L. Petty was
reelected vice president. Other cleo
tions were: T. E. Roberts. first vice pres
ident; A. P. Watson, second vice pres
ident and w. T. Reed, chairman of the

The revelations of corruption have been

manly conviction?

When State delegates any of it's sovereign
powers or duties, it goes dead wrong, as was
done for years when Georgia committed to
individuals the right to exploit and abuse it's

Harvey needed no millions to discover the cir
