HAGERSTOWN, Md, Sept, 21-Mc-
KinIey viii lose the vote of one Hagers-
town Republican because of the favor
able attitude of the Republican party
toward the trusts. The voter in ques-
tien is grocer. He stated today that
the trusts are causing him the loss of
many dollars, and he proposed to stop
supporting a party which aided and
abetted the trusts.
He explained that many articles in his
store were now controlled by trusts,
which had arbitrarily advanced Pr.ces, in
some instances SO high as to practically
Curtail sales.
He stated there was less profit now in
the grocery business than before the
trusts forced up prices, the proportion of
profit always being greater when goods
are low. In many cases the trusts had
raised prices, but the retailers had not.
and the retailers were, of course, the
losers In other instances where the re-
tailers had also put up the prices the
sales on these articles had fallen Cff.
On account of the higher prices con-
sumerS bought less and tried to ecLnO-
mize, consequently fewer SALES were
made, there were made there were fewer
profits and the retailer was again the
sufferer.
Among the trust-governed articles on
which there had been conspicuous al
yances i'll price were sugar, meats, coal
oil. tobacco. soap, matches, syrups, nails
glassware, crackers. etc, all articles of
daily consumption
The grocer stated that his customers

living now costs about oGe-third more

number of unique features in con-
nection with the ugly lynching of the
two men at Empo-ia, on March 24th,
attracted little attention at that time,
owing, to the excitement on the scene OF
the tragedy, and, up to this time. no
reference to them got in the papers,
Some of these incidents are of some
what humorous character, if there can be
such thing as h;ln1,r in pubic hanging.
When Major Cutchins and his sixty
well-drined soldiers appeared in the
County Courthouse and reported to Sher-
in Lee, Of Greensvile, that they had
come in answer to his request and We're
at his service, Sheriff Lee was sitting
in the Jail door. He locked up in sleepy
way, and said: .'Wcll. Cap. I guess you
had just as we'll take charge OF the
ranch,'' and Major Cutchins assumed
control. A little later on fellow was
seen coming across the Courthouse
yard, followed by three citizens carrying
three jugs of what might have been
moonshine liquor. One of them went up
to Major Cutchins and said: Cap, we
have got some of the finest stuff ever
made round these parts, and we want
yer to let the soldiers hit it a few times;
it will do them good" Major Cutchins In
dignantly refused, and ordered that none
of the LIQUOR be given to his men.
short while before the lynchtng. and
after the military from Richmond had
been sent back home by order of the
Sheriff and the Governor, Sheriff Lee
was seen saunterinS leisurely across the
Courthouse yard, and was asked if he had
sworn in guard to protect the jail.
He replied. ''No, there amt any use
