I Describe the el a He the But of Relief for the of the Weed. On the 13th day of October, 1908, there in the Warehouse in Greenville. N C , eighteen or twenty farmers who by mutual agreement had come together for tin purpose of organizing a farmers co operative warehouse coin having for its the making of money for its stockholders, but ultimately for the purpose of bringing the tobacco growers into a successful business organization. unsuccessful attempts had to organize tobacco farmers, and naturally enough these gentlemen felt that many obstacles would Lave to be removed before a successful station could be effected, therefore in the beginning they moved with caution and prudence. They zed that in employing the long es- warehouse business business supported absolutely and by the tobacco as a means to bring about the of the tobacco growers, th-y were invading a field of hither to disputed territory. They fully that every step they took would be stubbornly contested In the and others whose interest it always is to throw ling blocks in the way of movements, and that every effort would be employed to defeat the of therefore, it was of utmost importance that their every move should be carefully studied and that no mistake be made. After carefully and minutely going over the situation thoroughly in its every detail, a plan of procedure was decided upon. First of all. it agreed that tin organization was to be a plain open mil shut business proposition; no appeal was to be made to the farmers ii any . point Of view; no to be played on Ii u is simply and purely a business matter. In adopting this plan, under- stood fully that more time would be required and the exercise of more patience would lie necessary; bill they were deeply imbued with the fact such a foundation and with such and lusting organization could be effected. In drafting the charter special care WAS taken In see to it that it was sufficiently broad and liberal lo serve the purposes the votaries. yet sufficiently strong and to protect it from designers and schemers who might want to use it for selfish ends. Under the plan of organization ad by this small but determined number of it required a of stockholders to e it- policies, in most incur companies it is a majority the money resented that controls While from a strictly modern a m of view this is seemingly an objectionable feature for the purpose of the organization it i-1 of its strongest safeguards. I r this plan it is well nigh impossible for any man or set of men arbitrarily to get control. Again, under the plan adopt no one person is allowed to own more than a certain number of shares is the maximum at the par value of f In, and tho largest stock- holder is allowed no more voice in voting at the meetings of the com- than the smallest one. If at any time a stockholder should want to dispose of his stock, the or- requires him to notify the directors, and if the intended purchaser is objectionable as a stock- holder, then the directors have a right to purchase the stock for the organization. Thus by this means the company is at all times able to protect itself against those who might have corrupt purposes might buy the stock in order to interfere with or control the policy of the organization. The foregoing features constitute about the only inn provisions of this company not usually found in incorporated companies. preliminaries being arranged, lb company purchased on easy terms from Joyner Pail their entire warehouse property and good will, and employed these gentlemen to in conducting the business. The company is controlled by elev i n directors elected by the stock and the officers of the com- are a President, Secretary, Treasurer and Auditor, elected an- by the directors. The com- was chartered to do business 9th, 1903, and on the day of that month sold its first load of tobacco. The company began business at the busiest season of the year without a dollar in the treasury. Messrs. Joyner A I the company their banking i and thus is was that the Consolidated Tobacco Company had its As was expected, just as soon as this movement became known such i broadside attack as had never be- fore been known was made, me and then another charge was rumped up and used against the company, The motives of the pro- were attacked and the chase price of the property was her aided far and wide as outrageous this, too, notwithstanding the fact that the price agreed upon for the property was twenty five hundred dollars less than any similar pro- could have been bought before the organization of the ed Tobacco Company. Everything that could be thought of was done to keep farmers from joining it, and it must be admitted i hat the opposition found many billing listeners; but as this was only to be expected, the fact that more determined opposition was not developed is really the The purpose of this is not to light or antagonize anyone but simply to use the organization to promote, protect and advance the general well being interest of the tobacco growers. Viewed from the standpoint self-interest, it is amazing why any tobacco grower, be he ever so poor, should not become a stockholder As a simple means of making money, there is no business more sure than this single id. a that tin promoters of this movement rely ultimate general and widespread Farmers have failed in r forts to get together so often that tin y have come to look with doubt on anything his fin its object solely the of the therefore while the ultimate aim and e of the Consolidated Tobacco Coin is to draw the farmers for their general universal good, yet in order to cement and solidify the organization they have gone ml. the warehouse business simply and as a means of making money, which is the surest and safest way of securing the undivided interest support of its members and then to use the organization thus as means of accomplishing I he numberless advantages that ways result from well organized and disciplined effort. When the company was only one year old they were offered another valuable warehouse property on similar terms, which they purchased, and n w for two years we have been operating two warehouses. The first year in consequence of the combined to defeat the organization, a great many farmers wore kept from i stock, but at the end of the season a dividend of per cent was declared. The next year the crop was cut about one-half and the stock- list was more than doubled, in consequence a matter of the dividend was not so large as the first year. Still a dividend of per cent in cash was paid, very much to the of the majority of the stockholders. During the past summer, and up to this time, the farmers all over the country tributary to this mar- have purchased stock, and there is hardly a section of the country within a radius of twenty-five miles of Greenville a-here there are no stockholders in this company. Up to this time the company has done nearly three times as much business as it did during the same period last year, and unless some unforeseen event should happen, it will this year reach almost one thousand members. The company owns two very able warehouses in Greenville, and if the interest continues throughout the season as it has for the past sixty days, it will be able by the spring to pay off all its outstanding indebtedness, and the property today- is worth per cent more than when it was purchased. As a matter of course, the rapid access of the company depends largely on the stockholders, mid while will naturally resist and vigorously resent this intrusion on what they feel is their preserves, yet if this company gives the as good service as they can get elsewhere, and in addition pays them large annual dividends, in the course of time the movement will over-ride all opposition. And while just at this times warehouse- men are not to believe it, yet in the end they will suffer very little in consequence of the change. On the other hand the great benefits that will come to the thous- and- of tobacco farmers if the move- widespread and thorough will, in my opinion, out- weigh by far the result, of any previous L.
