The first distribution OF money
secured from the sale Of the Mont

last week to the growers who are
happy at the prospect of receiving

cut-out pledge will be continued
and those favoring it state that a
large majority of farmers will
join their movement. This will
not effect the farmers wanting to
grow, however, as one man put it
at the meeting, Tobacco will
either be grown in Montgomery
County, or He'll will be raised"
CUT-OUT MEN WE'RE NOT INVITED.
The independent call was as
follows:
I'VE, the undersigned citizens
and farmers Of Montgomery
County, believe that the meeting
,, held in Mt, Sterling, January IA,
1911, of persons desiring to cut
out the raising of a crop of To-
bacco during the year 1911, did
not and does not represent the
real wishes of a large majority of
the tobacco raisers of the county.
now for the purpose of ascertain
ing Just what the people want, we
request that all tobacco raisers of
Montgomery County, who desire
to raise crop this year, meet at
the Court House in Mt. Sterling,
KY. at 2 O'Clock p. m. on Satur-
day, January %, 1911, to deter
mine what should be done that
will rebound to the best interests
of all the people of this county"
The men who had charge of the
meeting say their call stated plain
ly that the meeting was for those
who wanted to raise and that the
people who did not want to raise
had no business there, unless it
was for the purpose of starting a
disturbance or breaking up the
meeting. They say that when
those who want to "cut, out" the
crop had their meeting that those
who wanted to raise did not attend
the meeting or interfere in any
way and they think they should
be given the same treatment.
Those who are for a cut-out are
determined to cut-out and those
wanting to raise are equally deter
mined. Several hot arguments
occurred on the streets after the
meeting and it looked like serious
trouble would occur.
The situation is worse in the
county than ever before, and in
tense bitterness AND feelings
shown.

most remarkable act ever seen on

people are on the stage, Richard

characters in this overwhelming,

love, the husband assisting his
wife in removing her wraps pre-

velops until the wife, questioned
by the husband as to the source

get the sense of the tobacco grow
ers regarding the cut-out of the
1911 crop in Montgomery County.
English Anderson read the call
and was made chairman of the
meeting, with j. S. Bogie Secre-
tary. j. r. Hobbs was called on
and made an appeal for cut-out.
He was followed by George Nc
Cormick, who begged for a cut
out for all the time, saying the
farmers could raise something else
that would make more money. A
vote was again called for and those
in favor of growing were placed
on one side of the courthouse and
those for a cut-Out on the other.
Yells were frequent for a cut
out while tellers were appointed to
take the vote on the resolution
which was as follows:
Whereas, the question, as to
whether or not any tobacco shall
be grown in this county during the
year 1911 has been widely dis
cussed and this meeting having
been called for the purpose of as
certaining the wishes of the ma
jority of tobacco growers in this
county upon that question. now,
therefore.
BE it resolved by the citizens
and tobacco growers of Montgom-
cry county, Kentucky, in conven-
ton assembled it is the sentiment
of this meeting and we believe of
very large percentage of that
citizens and growers of this coun.
ty, that it is for the best interests
of the land owners, the tenants,
the laborers, the merchant and in
fact for every business.interest of
this county that tobacco crop be
grown during the year 1911"
j. M. Pieratt and James s.
Bogie were appointed to take the
count. Heated arguments resulted
and no count could then be gotten.
The proposition was then made to
count the men at the door as they
left the room, but this was aband
oned.
At this juncture Mr.. Nick Had
den, county member of the Bur-
ley Union, pleaded for a count of
fairness" but there was such tur-
MOL that nothing could be done.
Seeing that further efforts to get Il
count on the resolution was use
less. q. l.. Kirkpatrick made the
proposition to MADDEN that a can
vass be made of the county and
that the actual acreage of the to-
bacco growers, be taken by acres,
and if the largest majority in
acres was in favor of cut-out, the
independents would abide by ii,
but if the majority in acreage was
in favor of growing Il crop then
the men whom MADDEN represent
ed should abida by chat and grow.
Hadden made a motion of Kirk
patrick's proposition. and stated
that it was fair, but the men on
his side rejected the proposition,
many voting against it. Seeing
that men on both sides were get
ting hot-headed and that nothing
could be done at the meeting to
get the sense of the people, a mo-
ton was made to adjourn, which
carried.
Much bitterness was manifested
during the meeting and hot words
uttered and had an adjournment
not come when it did there prob
ably would have been trouble. 1t
is said that the Independents, and
those who want to grow a crop
will hold no further meetings but
will 90 ahead and start to raising
crops while hundreds will cut-out
in the county.
