Times-Dispatch Bureau,
100 North Sycamore Street,

Petersburg, Va, October Is
After an all night rain the clouds
cleared away this morning and the
day proved bright and beautiful, an
ideal day indeed for visiting the Fair
Grounds. The trains from all direc-
lions brought crowds of people to the
city, and the attendance at the fair
was large.
To-day was Childrens Day. All of
the public and private schools in the
city and in the near vicinity were
closed, and the little folks flocked by
the many hundred to the fair and spent
practically all day on the grounds.
Tomorrow has been designated as
Petersburg Day" and the people of
the city will honor it by attending the
fair almost in a body. All Industrial
establishments and places of business
Will be closed in order that all owners
and employees can attend.
The large buildings on the grounds
have their floors laid in smooth and
durable granolithic. The roadways
through the grounds are well laid off,
and visitors have no difficulty in NOV
ing about and finding what they de-
sire to see.
OF special interest is the great ex-
hibit Of modern and improved ma
chinery in operation, and implements

is given for their proper exhibition.

this country When the newspapers
first foreshadowed the proposed plan he
wrote Attorney-General Wickersham
American Tobacco Company should be
allowed to receive stock in all the less
er companies into which 1t is divided
in proportion to their holdings in the
American Tobacco Company. 1.-The de-
cision of the Supreme Court will not be
q thing OF value"
To this Mr.. Wickersham had replied
that ne knew OF no means absolutely
to avoid the difficulties suggested by
Mr. Beckett. but that ne had insisted
that preferred stockholders should be
given the same power as common
stockholders In voting. and rentured
the hope that potential competition
would soon develop.
Ten days ago, when the newspapers
carried fuller statement of what the
plan OF division would be, proposing
three smaller companies or parts with
stockholders interests in each the
same. the scheme impressed him as
patent farce, and he again wrote Mr.
Wickersham that such course would
afford no relief to the men who grow
tobacco. and that when these men see
a single aggregation of capital arbi-
trarily fixing prices of products of
their labor they are stirred By the feel
ing that produced the French Revolu-
ton. and that the night riders of Ken
lucky are the legitimate offspring of
commercial tyranny. He indicated a
desire to file protest and brief in
behalf OF the independent Tobacco
growers of North CaSolina, and his
purpose to interest the Attorney-G
eral OF South Carolina and Virginia in
such action, and said that their posi-
ton would be that the proposed plan
of division Is in no way q compliance
with the decision of the Supreme Court.
To this letter Mr.. Wickersham re-
piled that the newspapers had not pub
lished anything like an accurate ac-
count of the plan which he understood
the American Tobacco Company pro-
posed to submit, and that he could not
say in advance what his attitude with
respect to the plan would be. He pre-
sumcd the court would follow Mr. Bick-
EFT and those associated with him to
be heard orally or by printed brief.
Mr. Understands position. Mr. Bick-
EFT declares to be entirely proper. and
says that in the meantime he has ar
ranged for his conference with the At
torneys-General of Virginia and South
Carolina. beginning tomorrow He
cannot say what their attitude will be
until a careful study of the plan act
ually submitted is made by them. If
It does not show serious effort to dis
solve the combination and end the
monopoly, then, in behalf of the tobac-
co growers of the three States, they
will file a strenuous protest against
the adoption of the plan.
