HOLD BIG MEETING
Reports Received From Lexing-
ton Meeting With Satisfac-
ton

The meeting of the Madison
county tobacco growers Saturday
Afternoon at the court house, to
hear reports from the meeting at
Lexington held on Wednesday
was largely attended, and there
was general satisfaction express
ed by producers over the fact that
the cut-out for next years crop
had been voted down. There
were a few discussions regarding
the future movements, however.
the details of a permanent organ
lzatlOn were not gone into, since
there was, in way, considerable
unfinished business.
The chief object was to hear
the progress Of the meeting at
Lexington, the reports of which
were listened to with unusual in
tercst. The court room was
filled with growers from every
part Of the county, since all are
interested in the movement.
Many wer Elm favor of the organ
ization for the local growers. and
that affiation with those Of other
counties in this and other states.
The aim is to produce, first. as
valuable d crop of tobacco as pos
slblc, then to protect the price of
same. One OF the most interest
ing talks OF the afternoon. was
that of Mr. Jesse Cobb, who fav-
ored the organization and who
expressed the opinion that next
years crop would be duly raised.
and prices properly regula ted,
with the hearty cooperation of
others Waller Bennett took an
optimistic view of the situation.
stating that he had great faith in
the growers Of this as other
counties. and believed fair price
would be procured for the pro-
duct next year. There was no
future meeting set. but one may
be called at any time The
of the big organiza-
ton perfected at Lexington will
be watched with interest.

SILVER PREDICTS
BUMPER CROPS NOW

Q. Silver, of Brassheld, came
to Richmond bright and early
Saturday morning and reported
that if there was not Il bumper
crop of corn. he missed his guess,
and admitted that he was some
gucsscr. Mr.. Silver said that the
conditions were such as to put all
farmers in a good humor and said
one more rain, just one more
good rain would place the tobaC-
co in condition for cutting III the
near future, apd predicted this
work would beT1nder way soon.
He stated that some Of the best
corn seen III Madison county for
years was to be found i'll the vi
cinity OF the Madison -Estill line,
and there was no kick coming on
the part of the average farmer
over the crops. While some of
the tobacco has suffered as Il re-
suit of rust or blight, Mr.. Silver
declares the crop Will average
pretty good. and far better than
was expected some time ago.

In an eloquent and forceful ad-
dress Saturday afternoon at the
Madison county court house to al
audience which well filled the
county court room. Hon. Alben
w. Barkley. Congressman from
the First district, informally. as
he stated, opened the Democratic
campaign i'll Richmond and as an
exponent OF Democracy touched
upon the vital issues of the day.
Describing the issues i'll clear
manner, easily understood, he
was interrupted repeatedly by ap-
plause.
There was liberal attendance
of ladies i'll the audience. and this
fact was not overlooked by the
speaker. One of the chief attri
butes of Congressman Barkley, as
a political. speaker, and one that
appeals to all fair minded persons,
is his almost total absence OF
harangue relative to the opposing
party. When he drives home his
point, he strikes from the should
er, and there is something coming
in the way of Republican short
coming. This ends the CRITICISM.
He turns the discourse dii c ctly to
the many big things accomplished
by the Democrats and draws Il
vivid word picture of their accom-
plishments then turns the pic
ture upside down, SO to speak,
showing the daubs presented by
the Republican brush. He drew
comparisons of the principles OF
both parties. using as illustSat tons
such powerful subjects as the
League of Nations, the unprecsA
dented financial situation and
banking systems; the slogan OF
the Democratic party. which,
summed up, is Equality to all,
special privilege to none" the
federal banking system
mense farmers loans etc. In
controvertible evidence of the
CONSTITUTIONAL powers OF the
Democratic party. the increase i'll
wages, recognition of the work
ing man, wherein he has been
drawn from the mire, the inn
mense sums being paid today by
corporations or companies who
heretofore laughed as the petition
Of the workingman for an ad-
vance in wages.
Another phase of his speech
was the cry of the Republicans
which was to the effect that there
was lack of stability marking
every phase OF any Democratic
venture in the financial wordl.
THE absurdity of this was illus
trated by the statement of the
fact that there has not been Il h
ancial crisis, nor scarcely single
bank failure, since the Democratic
reign.
The spirit of true democracy
was never more clearly portray
ed than in the principles it advo-
Gates today, fact, touched upon
by Judge John c. Chenault. as
chairman of the Madison County
Democratic Campaign Commit
tee, in his Introductory remarks.
The presence of SO many ladies,
as was alse mentioned by Judge
Chenault, who stated that the in
fluence as we'll as the preserving
qualities of the women were need
led and welcomed in the campaign.
The Importance of this tremendous
influx OF votes was characterize
