Tobacco Organization Call For County Growers Meeting
A call is issued for a county tobacco growers meeting at the Court House on Saturday at p.m to discuss raising prices. The Lexington gathering formed The Burley Tobacco Union with June W. Gayle as president and T Scott Mayes on the executive committee. The group favored reducing the 1911 crop using hoes, not switches, with officers serving sixty days while county conventions elect advisory board members and later officers. Washington county was well represented by Mayes and W C Metchard. A Louisville Times notice features Miss Dorothy McIntire, daughter of James McIntire, as the finder of a 1892 bravery medal later restored to Edwin Cleary, a noted cosmopolite in Louisville.
