 STATE TOBACCO GROWERS
Reviews History Of Business From Early Times When Leaf Was

 Hartford. Jan. 9.-About 500 growers
 of tobacco from varlous sections of
 the east where the weed is cultivated,
 assembled in Unity EIalf today for the annual convention or the New Eng land Tobacco Growers association.
 President Joseph Alsop of Avon pre- sided and Governor Baldwin. May or Louis R. Cheney and other prominent
 men are among the speakers. In introducing Governor Baldwin, President Alsop said 1t would be a novelty for the governor to speak be- fore the only agricultural association in the state which has not asked for a state appropriation and will never do so.
 Governor Baldwin is going to talk about the only Connecticut product he has never used and never will use, said Mfr Alsop.
 Governor Baldwin said, in part: ssConnecticut has very deep inter est in the work of this association and I am glad to welcome it to her borders this year.

 @sTobacco in early Virginia, because 1 1t was the best thing for market that she produced. was made the basis of her monetary system. It took the place, for this country, of gold. They | had their troubles in those times over currency questions as we do.
 "The first representative parliament tary body on this continent, you know, was the Virginia legislature of 1641 and one Of the first things they did was to pass a currency bill which made a currency of tobacco. It was taken kF,~ c1,41 7I11d for the best quality and half that for the second best.
 ssrwo things that have had a very important influence upon the life of mankind were American productions; tobacco or, as the Indians called it, uppowoc, and the potato.
 Tobacco early got the lead and | has kept 1t up. Tn fact, Virginia soon found raising it too profitable
 There was an over-production. They lhad no trusts in those days for a. Iregulative force and so the three great tobacco raising colonies formed | a combination for the purpose. In l. Elinas held 8 convention and agreed I that for one year no tobacco at all should be planted in any of them The three legislatures voted this through but the governor of Mary 1 land vetoed the Maryland bill and the scheme fell through.

fully for many years. The early edu- cation of some of the prominent men in that city was carried on under her direction and all renember her with the highest esteem. Her many friends and acquaintances will regret very much to learn of the death of this most excel1entrvoTnan.
 She had a~ffne disposition which made her a. very popular teacher and evoking the love and respect of her pupils The principles for good which she inculcated in the minds of her pupils remain an evidence of her great work which was built on en- during foundations. All of the people down town had the highest respect and esteem for this good woman.

The English Suffragettes

England's militant suffragettes are few in number compared with the great mass of women of sane views and orderly conduct, but they have been noisy and violent from the start, and their vandalism becomes more startling as time goes on.
 It was bad enough when the mili- tants attempted arson and when they sought to injure property owned by men in official life. But when they in vaded churches and interrupted relig- ious services the boldest step of all had been taken. A still greater shock to the British public, however, was the dynamite explosion in Westminster abbey. Nothing short of murder could seemed more criminal to the people of the English speaking world than the dissertation of the historic old pile.
 Some of the militant leaders say that their work of agitation is just getting good start. They threaten all sorts of violence within the next

 canvass for subscriptions within the next few days. The president of the club says they are hoping to receive rom the Birmingham Railway. Light ana Power company the same sub scription that was made last wear $750 With the subscriptions which oth-
 CT corporations will make and with the help of the city band of 26 or 97
 musicians can be employed to play six

 When the city of Birmingham is
 able to foot the entire music bill we
 should insist upon the concerts begin

 In about three years from now Bir

 liberal in supporting municipal music
 In the meantime the concert fund must be gathered from various sources Nashville maintains a fine municipal band-30 men-and the summer season lasts 12 weeks. Nashvilles summer mu- sic costs s10,O00 and this sum is de- rived, I understand. indirectly from public service corporations. I may be

The County High School

It seems almost a certainty that Jefferson county will secure a high school building for the vicinity of Boyles and Tarrant City. Such sub- stantial offer has been made by those communities that it seems scarcely possible the state high school com mission will turn the proposition down. It is proposed to donate a site worth $10,000 and to supplement that gift with a bona fide subscription of $10,000 toward the erection of suit able building.
 Authority to locate high school for each county is vested in a com mission consisting of the governor, state superintendent of education and the state auditor. The law makes a number of requirements, one of them being the donation of site. The citi- zens promoting the Jefferson county high school movement have, it is said, met all requirements. The site con- tains ten acres of land admirably To- cated for the purpose in question, and in addition practically enough money has been pledged to erect the building.
 While other communities have made bids for the county high school they have not offered the inducements set forth by the people of Boyles and Tarrant. The commission will meet in Birmingham today and will be shown over the proposed site and SUD- piled with the full details.
 Whether the state commission ac- cepts the offer or not there is one thing certain, the need of a high school for Jefferson county is inn perative. At the close of the county schools recently over 150 pupils re- ceived high school certificates. Many of them were eager to attend high school, but were barred for the reason that no such institution existed Many other counties of the state have hac high schools for several years and the imperial county of Jefferson cannot afford to lag behind in matters o1 progressive education.
