WANT UNBIASED FACTS
AS To- THE ADVANCE IN THE PRICI
OF FERTILIZERS.
IS 1T DUE TO FERTILIZER TRUST
Or is il the Result of a Legitimate Advance in
the Price of Raw Materials Which 60 In
to the Make up of Fertilizers?
Meeting of Committee.

The committee named by the State
Board OF Agriculture to examine into the
recent advance in the price of fertilizers
with a view to locating the cause and
suggesting a remedy, if possible, met
last night at the offices of the depart
ment and considered plan of action un-
til near midnight.
After mature deliberation the commit
tee came to the conclusion that if is
quite useless to spread the net in the
full view of the octopus and so decided
to go on still hunt for it, with lib
eral allowance of salt to sprinkle on it's
tail if they shall be able to come to
close quarters with it, In other words
they propose to creep up on the mon
ster and swat it when it's not looking,
though the experience with it thus far
gives room to doubt that it will attempt
to hold the kopje against determined
bayonet charge,
A member of the committee said last
night after adjourning that the COM
mittee had addressed itself mainly to
mapping out a plan whose definite fru-
ition is to be determination whethe i
there are causes outside of an unlawful
combination of manufacturers sufficient
to account for the recent remarkable ad-
vance in the price of fertilizers.
For instance, a prominent farmer APP
peared before the committee last night
and stated that the price of phosphate
per ton in Baltimore had been quoted to
him as 5000 while simultaneously the
price of the same grade of the article
| had been quoted to him in Wilmington
| as $1450 a difference of 81 per ton.
| The committee is unable to understand
| why there should be SO wide a discrepan-
| cy in quotations from the two places
| and proposes to see whether the 1.-THE
| tentacle of the octopus aforesaid does
| not figure more or less extensively in
the mystery.
The committee after going over the
| ground, is not of the opinion that in or
| der to vex the monster it will be neces-
| sary to take trips to the phosphate
! mines of Tennessee, South Carolina and
| Florida, but inclines rather to the opin-
ion that it will be able to tease it suffi-
GENTLY by correspondence, which is much
| less expensive.
| The plans of the committee will not
| be made public until the next meeting
| which occurs on April ~, as publication
would tend to defeat the end at which
| it is aiming. BY that meeting it hopes
to have such data as will settle definite
! ~ the question as to what part, if any,
| of the advance in fertilizers is warranted
| by commercial necessity

Waco. Texas, July 31.-The double
murder yesterday morning and the sensa-
tional developments last night, resulting
in the arrest of Duncan McI,ennan. sr.
aged 70 years, father OF the boy of the
samle name who was murdered and
father-in-law OF the other victim, cast a
pail over the entire city. The McIennan
family were the pioneer settlers OF this
part of the State. Neil McLennan. de-
ceased, brother Of the accused. was enc
of the first white settlers of the county
and this county Dictionary was named
for him. The family connection is extern
sive throughout McLennan, Falls and
Milan counties and the very best pep
pie boast of the kinshlp.
The shocking tragedy and the implica-
tion of the aged pioneer Duncan McLen-
nan in the crime has astounded the COM
munity. Duncan McLennan himself. who
does not deny the killing, is silent as to
the cause save that he had been financial y
embarrassed by Kingsbury. The latter was
indicted some months ago for forgery; it
was charged in the indictment that he
forged the name Of Duncan McLennan to
several notes. Just what amount the
elder McLennan paid OIL these alleged
forged notes could not be ascertained. but
1t is said he was involved by the trans
actions more than $4,000. 1t Is also said
that in addition to the amount already
paid there is a judgment for $4,000 against
McLennan.
Kingsbury was accidently shot few
months ago, and as result one of his
feet was amputated. He carried heavy ac-
cident insurance and had Just returned
from New York with part of the money,
said to be $4,000. McLennan, so the story
goes, had been urging Kingsbury to re-
lieve him of that $4,000 Judgment, but his
entreaties were fruitless. With his farm
mortgaged for $4,000 and judgment fer
$4,000 staring him in the face McLennan
became exasperated and in company with
his son came to the city at night de-
termined to have settlement When
Kingsbury's room was entered he awoke
and the struggle began. Whether the
McLennans made any propositions for a
settlement or not does not appear.
A neighbor testified before the coroner
/ that he heard Kingsbury cry for help and
somebody said Spit it up youl
1 Tell it," There was terrific struggle
going on for a few moments thereafter,
then all was still until Mrs. Kingsbury
began screaming.
| 1t was believed by Kingsbury's family
that he had the insurance money in the
house, but no one seems to know whether
/ he did or not No trace OF it has been
found and Its disposition, if he ever had
1 it, is left to conjecture
Duncan McLennan is in Jail. He was
taken to the Kingsbury residence this
morning to see his wife, who is stopping
with her daughter. Mrs. McLennan was
very i'll yesterday and last night, but is
much better this morning The aged

the absence of the negro. Occasionally

attention during the fair as some Of the

to the time when the negroes first moved
into Washington county. One old NAH
in particular, with his family, purchased a
little cabin and prepared to settle down.
Within few days he was ordered to move
at once. This he refused. and the story
handed down says that he mysterlously
disappeared No one ever had the tenn

the current rumor To the effect that he
was put out of the way was generally ac-
copied, There are many, however who
