The visit of Mr. Hell to Memphis ;bas been guarded with the utmost care. At the office of the Tom Mor ton Tobacco Company the Memphis if branch of the trust, it was asserted that Mr. Hill was not in the city, while at interested, banks the same assertion was made. The fact, remains, ..however, that Mr. Hill did come to Memphis Sun day and was assigned to room 505 at the Gayoso, where he still is. . Re peated efforts to see ihim were unsuc cessful, and the room was evidently vacant most of the day. Monday night and Tuesday morn ing a number of prominent Kentucky and Tennessee ttobacco men reached . .-.... the city, and the rumor was that they were the ones to. whom Mr. Hill had sent the messages for the conference. The impression prevails that the principal topic of discussion was the boldness of tire night, riders, and the wholesale destruction of fobac-jj co crops. It was said that on acdcu.nt f of the present inflamed condition of j affairs fn Kentucky it was deemed ad-j visabte to hold the- conference inj Memphis where no suspicion of any intended retaliatory action upon thej part of the trust would be aroused, j None of these storics could bi confirmed on account of an inability", t'o secure interviews witd those in-: terested. However, the Night Riders of the two states are going to cor.- j tinue to fight for the price that they think they deservt for their tobacco, as it is they are holding their crop to get a price above 4 and 5 cents when the same article is sjold in for eign, countries for 1.44 to 1.56. The 'difference is very noticable and whether the night riders can be blamed for tuc .oppressive action of the tr-,st is only a matter of opinion. DELTA COTTON OIL CO.
