TOBACCO GROW
ERS MEET HERE
Large and Enthusiastic Meet
ing at the Court House
Here Monday. t-

That the tobacco growers of
Weakley county mean to organize
into an association was evidenced by
their largely attended meeting of
prominent growers from every Sec
ton of the county held here last
Monday at the court house.
Chairman Gray presided and Sec
rotary Collier called the roll, practi-
cally every district committeeman
answering present. A poll of the
district pledges was taken, showing
2,791 acres of the growing crop
pledged. This is less than one-half
of the acreage, it is estimated, and
as full two-thirds must be pro-
cured before there is an association
having real sure-enough teeth, grow
ers are urged to get busy and line up
their neighbors. Some districts
have made poor showings.
1t was shown at this meeting that
tobacco growers who have their
1919 crop on hand, but no growing
crop this year, are privileged to put
the old crop in the association by
signing the pledge, a motion to that
effect prevailing. Before there can
be an association, it was shown,
there must be two-thirds of the to-,
bacco in the entire black patch
pledged to the association. Messrs
Kilgore and Collier and Messrs.
Wells and Hall filed applications
for pricing contracts, their houses
to be located at Martin. Judge R.
E. Maiden, by invitation, delivered
a stirring address to the growers
which hugely appreciated.
Growers, let your neighbors know
what you are doing by informing
them through the Enterprise. Have
your secretary call us over the rural

TEN PAGES OF
NEWS THIS WEEK

The Enterprise, to meet the de-
mand for the greatly increased vol
ume Of news, goes back to the 10
page form this week, giving its read
ers 10 pages brim-full Of county
news from every nook and corner.
Recently, due both to shortage
of news and a great rush Of job
printing, the Enterprise has been
issuing only eight pages, and several
times in the past few weeks it has
been necessary to leave out consid-
erably advertising in order to take
care Of the news.
It would be an easy matter toget
along now with eight pages by print
ing only the Dresden and vicinity
news, but the Enterprise is required
to give the county news and extra
pages are required. Just think of
10 big pages brim full of interesting
live matter for only $3.50 per yearl
It's really the only cheap household
necessity on the market today.
Ask your neighbOr if he is missing
this big value. He certainly can't
afford to be without his county
news.

MPORARY
LIBERTY BONDS
BEING CALLED IN

Mr.. R. L. Goolsby was here Mon
day from Greenfield and called our
attention to the calling in of the
first, second and third issues of
Liberty Bonds and their exchange
for permanent bonds.
The government is now taking up
these temporary bonds and replac-
ing them with permanent bonds,
and those holding Liberty Bonds of
the first, second and third issues
should carry them to their banks
and have them sent in for exchange
for the permanent bonds. The
banks make no charge for this. In
fact, they are glad to extend this
courtesy to their patrons. While
many have already had the exchange
made, there are numbers of people
who hold bonds who have not done
so, and they should attend to this
matter at once.

HEAVY DELIVERIES
At THE ASSOCIATION
Local Prizing House of Tobac-
co Association Getting in
Much Tobacco. /

The Dresden association tobacco
pricing house did a land-office bust
ness last week, heavy deliveries of
the weed being made. Samples were
taken from each crop and forwarded
to the salesman, Mr.. Brown, at Pa
ducah.
On last Friday growers from the
vicinity of Cottage Grove delivered
$4,000 pounds of tobacco to the to-.
baccO association pricing house in
Dresden, and it was stated to Mr..
Ezell, manager of the local house.
that there remained in the Cottage
Grove section no less than 10000
pounds Of tobacco, all of which, it
was claimed would be brought here
and put into the association.
The Enterprise is informed that
sales made to date by the associa-
ton salesman, Mr.. Brown, at Pa
ducah, have been highly satisfactory
to the growers.
1t is learned that full organiza-
ton has not been completed in the
18th and 18th districts, or rather,
that those districts have not pledged
IN proportion to their acreage along
with other tobacco producing dis
tricts of the county. This, no
doubt, is due to lack of canvassing,
and before the books are finally
closed those districts will be found
in line with other districts.
Word has gone out that the Eu-.
ropean countries consuming dark
tobacco are Over-stocked; that the
outlook for a ready market for our
@OSV SAVp 10 HOI pIOLlISluSJ anu 81
on. If the talk of growers really
materializes into fact, there will
be still further reduction in the
acreage to tobacco next year,
many farmers becoming discouraged
and disguised both with market
conditions and the trust" disease,
which this year has made terrible
on growing tobacco, result
ing in early cutting of premature
tobacco.
There is a growing tendency to
sow more wheat, since it is not prof.
table to grow cheap tobacco and
to buy high-priced flour, and fur
ther, since fall blowing is being done
by the tractor method, instead of
by mule and horse teams. Fall
blowing is difficult, but the tractor
makes it easy.

AUSP|C|OUs OPEN
ING, HALL-MOODY
All Departments Are Full.
Many Friends Express Com
fidence in Institution.

For days force of helpers had
been busy getting the college build
ings and grounds in condition fol
the opening of school. New shades
fresn paint and new opera chairs
for the chapel gave very pleasant
surprise to students and patrons
who assembled for the exercises of
Hall-Moody on Tuesday morning.
The devotional exercises were led
Rev. G. L. Ellis. His address,
though free from any effort Of
SHOW, was well adapted to impress
the audience with the Importance of
the occasion and the great necessity
for christian schools and christian
education. In fact, the whole pro-
gram had for its theme, education
without christian influences may
prove a snare rather than a blessing.
Rev. Terry Martin of Paducah,
the second speaker was likewise a
friend and patron Of the school.
He said his son was able to come by
himself, but that he just wanted to
be present and witness another
opening of the school.
At this point President Warren
called attention to the new seats and
expressed the opinion that the new
chairs would not be in keeping with
the old song books, whereupon
Brother Ellis and Mrs. T. H. Farmer
brought forward the necessary $25
with which to purchase the new song
books. This was but an incident in
the program, but it showed abund-
antly the interest the people of Mar
tin take in their schools. To show
their appreciation the audience sang
very heartily song led by Prof.
WitheringtOn.
President Warren then intro
duced each member of the faculty,
beginning with the two new mem
bers, Prof. C. G.. Truitt, the new
dean, and Miss Jane McCullOh,
teacher of Spanish and expression.
Each membered responded, to his
name with short but appropriate
remarks.
Announcements showed that each
of the departments will be crowded
to overlooking and unless some :
thing is done to check the increasing
more rooms will be abso-
lutte necessary at an early date.
The advance enrolment had gone
beyond one hundred and the num-
Der of bona fide students at the
close of the first day was more
than two hundred twenty-five, with
good prospects of more than two
hundred seventy-five before the
close of the first week. In fact, it
las been the history Of the school
hat more than two-thrids Of the
'irst terms enrolment is present
he first day.

honored with the place of vice-presi-
dent of the mems division and Mrs.
Allen Sharp president of the wo-

most worthily bestowed. Both were
in the program and gave interesting
talks. Weakley county was the

FINE POULTRY Elk.
H|B|T At THE FAIR
Mr.. Ezell Looking Forward to
Attractive Showing of Pure.
Bred Fowls Here.

Mr.. F. C. Ezell, manager Of the
poultry department of the Weakley
county fair, is looking forward ia
an exceptionally attractive showing
of fine pure-bred poultry at the
coming fair, which opens on We'd
nesday, Sept. %.
Breeders and exhibitors are urged
to cooperate and bring this branch
of the big fair up to a level with the
other farming interests mirrored at
the fair. Heretofore the bars have
been let down to foreign exhibitors,
but this year only Weakley county
owned fowls will compete for pre-
miums in the poultry department,
and local fanciers will in all prob
ability fill the space.
Last year, at an enormous ex-
pense the fair management erected
specially devised poultry show
house, which is conveniently To-
Gated and ideally arranged, and
still other Improvements are con-
templated. Poultry as one Of the
farming side-lines produces big
income at very little expense.
Every farmers wife has her flock of
poultry, and, what is still more
gratifying, most Of it today is pure
bred, being one or the other of
those many breeds which it is profit
able and practical to raise in this
climate.
Let all poultry raisers in the
county unite in one grand effort to
make the 1920 poultry exhibit at
the fair the best ever. The way to
do this is for each one to send a
coop of poultry to the fair.

TOBACCO GROWER LOSES
BARN AND TOBACCO BY FIRE

Mr.. Ollie McClain informs US that
Bob Caldwell, farmer of the First
district, lost a barn of fine tobacco
last Saturday by fire. Caldwell had
been firing the tobacco but 80 min
utes when it burst into flames and
was quickly consumed. He carried
insurance. 1t is stated by some
that the rust which is causing untold
damage to tobacco is responsible for
these fires, since it is already dry
and bursts into flames Immediately
there is a spark, and that growers
ought to be very cautious when first
firing.

PARISH CO. SALE AT
TRACING MANY BUYERS

Mr.. Lee Davidson, the hustling
manager Of the Parish Co., at Sha-
ron, informs the Enterprise that the
big sale at his store is a winner,
that large crowds of eager buyers
daily visit the store, but as the
stock is large and very complete
there remains a big supply of choice
merchandise. Mr.. Davidson states
the sale will continue until the
stock is reduced, since he is deter
mined to retire from business. He
says he had been the recipient of
many nice courtesies during his stay
at Sharon and that he loves those
good people, but that he finds his
health will not permit him to re-
maiA confined in the house, hence
his reason for selling. Deep cuts in
prices have been made in all lines.

Stability in Exchange
Bi-metallism would furnish another
advantage, namely, stability in ex-
change between the East and West.
Under bi-metallism debts can be paid
at fixed ratio in either metal, and
business can be carried on without
violent fluctuations in the charge for
exchange. No one can now doubt our
ability to maintain bi-meta1lism in
dependently of the act of other ma
tions, but bi-metallism would give us
such an advantage in trading with the
halves of the world that commercial
nations would soon be compelled to
join us.
Great Britain, no longer i'll control
of the credits OF the world, may find
it to her interest to propose inter
national bi-metallsm and such a
proposition, coming from such a
source. would doubtless find the rest
of the world willing to accept inter
national bi-metalism. If our nation
rejected such an offer the very COM
mercial interests that clamored for a
gold standard quarter of a century
ago would clamor as loudly for a
financial system that would give
them an equal chance with Europe in
the contest for Oriental trade.
China's development would be I'M
possible on gold basis-and China is
a growing factor that cannot be ig-
uored by those who plan for The
future
