A meeting OF the farmers Of the
county has been called for Saturday

casion. Colonel Benehan Cameron,

will preside at the meeting.
At the last session of the Legislature

ment OF these schools. The state
agrees to give s2.5oO per year for the
support of the schools. provided the
county in which the school Is estab-
lished agrees to give an additional
S2.500 and provide site and build
ings. The act OF the legislature limits
the number to be established to ten
In any one year. Three OF this mum
Der have been taken up by counties
In the state, and il seems that 1t will
be only short time before the re-
mainder win be established by the
different counties which are now agi-
tating the question.
A meeting Of the farmers OF Dur
ham county was to have been held
last Saturday, but on account of the
very favorable weather Tor plowing
only few came to town. and no meet
ing was held.
Better results are expected from the
meeting Saturday. and 1t is hoped that
several hundred farmers viii be in at
tendance.
The meeting will be held al II
o'clock Saturday morning. The CEN
tral highway through Durham county
will also be discussed at the meeting,
and steps have been taken to have the
road put In first-class condition.

TENTATIVE PLANS
OF ORGANIZATION
Submitted by Attorneys Of ihe
American Tobacco Company
TO COURT ORDER
II the Plans Submitted Prove Accept
able TO the Government and Direc-
tors of the Tobacco Company They
VIII Become Model for Organiza-
tion of Other Large Corporations.

Information was received here
Tuesday afternoon that tentative
plans for the organization of the
American Tobacco company to con-
form with the decision of the su-
preme court were submitted to Attor-
ney General Wickersham Monday 6y
the attorneys of the company.
1t will be remembered that the
company was ordered by the supreme
court to change its present form of
organization so as to conform to a
certain standard that has not been
clearly defined. This plan of organ
ization was to be submitted to the
circuit court of appeals and to Attor-
ney General Wickersham for APP
proval.
Immediately after the decision was
handed down the attorneys for the
company began work on the forma-
tion OF plans. A tentative plan was
finished last week and this submitted
to Attorney General Wickersham for
his approval Monday. This plan has
not been subrlitted to the board Of
directors of the company and will not
be until the attorney general passes
upon Il. Attorney General Wicker
sham approves the plan. II will be
submitted to the board OF directors
and then to the circuit court for final
approval.
No details of the plan will be given
out undl 1t is approved by all parties
concerned. The plan submitted is
only tentative and may be changed
considerably before Vt passes the
careful scrutiny of the department
of justice.
Much interest centers in the fral
plan Of organization that will be
adopted. This plan will serve as a
model for the organization of all of
the other large corporations through
out the country which are engaged In
interstate commerce. With the APP
proyal of this plan the American To.
bacco company win be put upon
firmer besis than ever before, and
the world wide business In North
Carolina products can be carried on
without the shsdow of uncertainty
that has been hanging over the opera
tions Of the company for some time
before the decision Of the supreme
court.
