Cobb Talks
Prominent Local Member Of
the BuneY Tobacco So
ciety Gives out inter-
view.

Mr.. Jesse Cobb, the Madison county
member OF the District Board of the
Burnley Tobacco Society was at Lex;ng
ton on last Tuesday and Wednesday 10
attend the important meeting of the Elk
ecutive Board of the Society, and al
though the Board decided TO throw the
pool on the market and sell to the high
est bidder, Mr.. Cobb is still holding out
hope that those growers who have held
back and are responsible for the state of
affairs as now exists, will come forward
within the next twenty-four days and
save it. Mr.. Cobb is one of the best
posted tobacco men in the state and in
conversation with representative of
the Climax he said if this pool went
down it would be the greatest calamity
the state has ever suffered. as well as
portions OF adjoining states, in which
tobacco was raised.
AS is stated in another part of this
issue, the Board decided to begin the
sale at auction of the l20, 900, 900 pounds
of the 1909 crop on next Thursday in
Lexington, and if the growers fail to
come to the rescue, not over cents will
be realized for the best grades. The
resolution as adopted is as follows:
Resolved That the Executive Board
of the Burley Tobacco Society proceed
on the 9th of October, 1910. at Lexing-
ton, KY, to sell the l20, 600 pounds
of the 1909 crop now in the pool to the
highest and best bidder by sample in 10
hogshead lots, unless sold privately
between now aud the 9th, and continue
said sales from day to day as in their
judgment they think wise and proper
with the right to reject any and all bids. |"
Mr.. Cobb said that the Board had sta
tistics to show that in Ohio, West Vir-
ginia, Missouri, Indiana as well as Ken
lucky there were 256, 900 acres of the
1910 crop and of this number $50, 900
would make winning pool.
The prediction by the members of the
Board. that s cents would be best price
offered, has been proven true by the
interview given out Thursday at Lexing-
ton by Vice President Toewater of the
American Tobacco Company in his bold
statement that the trust would not pay
more than cents for the average crop.
Mr.. Toewater stated that they were
willing to pay fair price for the to-
bacco, but that it all depended upon what
a man considered fair price; that some
people considered 10 cents fair price, but
that they considered 10 cents prohibi
tive price. Mr.. Rees then asked Mr..

GOING After En-.

County Attorney o. P. Jackson is
going after the property which the
county bid in for back taxes, and he
will ask the court TO transfer the deeds
to the state. There is lot of land and
town property, which the county bid in
at the sheriff sales heretofore, and
under the law if the owner does not
come up and redeem, by paying off the
lien and the penalty, the county attor-
ney, acting for the state, shall ask the
court to make the state deed to the
property. OF course an owner can, at
any time, redeem his property, which is
done in nearly every case.

Red Men.

Richmond is the home of probably
the most fourishing of all tribes of the
Improved Order of Red Men in the
country. Floating Canoe tribe has
among its members number of the
most substantial citizens and they are
always hustling for the good of the
order" 1t is an old custom that wher-
ever ten pale faces are captured and
shown through the mysteries Of the
Order and are found TO be worthy to
wear the tomahawk, belt and feathers,
it is to be followed by a smoker, when
the pipe of peace is passed around the
circle and good fellowship is the watch
word. The tenth pale face has been
captured and the final initiatory work
will be done this week. Big lnjuns,
Thomas Vaughn and John E. Sexton,
Chief of Records, are expecting a big
Pow-wow as the result of capture of the
pale faces.
