A SUGAR BATTLE.
Beet Factory Men Up Against the
Trust.


San Francisco, Oct 7.-Commentlng
on the reduction of the price of sugar
in the Missouri market by the sugar
trust. Henry T. Oxnard, president OF
the American Beet Sugar association,
defined it as a move to crush out beet
sugar production in order that the
trust might have no opposition.
"If they can succeed in the Missouri
valley" said he, they Will then turn
their attention to the beet factories IN
Michigan and other sections and by
the power of concentration capital
crush out successfully and indlvldu-
ally the beet sugar producers. The
trust tries TO deceive the public by
claiming that the beet producers can
still make money at the low price 1t Is
trying TO establish.
But this particular move on the
mart of the sugar trust will fall fiat.
The beet sugar factories will not sell
their sugar in the Missouri river valley
at ~ cents under the market when
a fraction o. that L 2 cents will move
their sugar to every other market II
the United States. What the next
move of the trust will be remains TO
be seen

Armenian Lecturer Says Turks

Kansas City, Oct. 9.-Dr. NJ. Mesro-
plan of this city, a physician and a
native of Armenia, who has lectured in
eastern cities on the atrocities prac-
ticed upon the Armenians by the
Turks, declares that the abduction of
Miss Stone, the American missionary,
by brigands in Bulgaria, was the work
of the sultan Of Turkey.
Il am sure it was he who ordered
the brigands to carry off Miss Stone,
said DR.. Mesropian. "He ordered her
to be taken across the Bulgarian Dor
der, so as to divert suspicion from
himself. 1t is a move in retaliation
for the enforced payment of the $780,

entry of the publication to the second
class. Postmaster Coyne forwarded
a copy of the paper containing an ar.
ticle by Goldman on the assassination
Of President Mckinley, for ruling on
the question of its re-entry to the
mails under any classification. The
department will call for further infor.
nation from Postmaster Coyne and
probably test the subscription list of
the paper by addressing persons on
the list furnished by the publisher
and asking them whether they are &C.
tually subscribers. This is the usual
procedure in determining a papers
eligibility to the second-class rates.
There is no law, according to the
postal officials, by which a paper can
be barred merely on the ground that
it is anarchistic in its utterances.

. Tenn, the Scene.
FOUR MEN WERE KILLED
The Feud Had Been of Long Standing

menced-More Bloodshed Feared.

Knoxville. Tenn, Oct SIN a
bloody fight at the Union Baptist
church at Big Springs, 10 miles from
Tazewell, Tenn, Sunday, four were
killed, two mortally wounded and
three wounded less seriously. The
killed are:
Tip Caldwell, John F. Caldwell,
Rush Morgan, Henry Morgan.
Mortally wounded: John Morgan,
Asa caldwell.
Wounded: - Jones, leg broken;
- Neabley, flesh wound; Sheriff
Brook, Slight.
There was preaching at the church
and about 500 people gathered. Just
before the IL o'clock service Tip Chad
we'll went to the spring, 90 yards from
the church. Rush Morgan was at the
spring and began firing at Caldwell.
Both factions Immediately gathered
and the fight lasted half an hour.
Sheriff James Brook attempted to
arrest Asa CALDWELL who resisted.
Both Brook and Asa Caldwell were
wounded.
The feud between the Morgans and
the Chadwells has existed a long time.
They met at Walnut Hills, Va, last
Christmas, when a pitched battle en-
sued, in which several were killed.
Eighteen months ago they met near
the Hancock line. Fighting followed
and one was killed. Both the Chad
wells and Morgans are prosperous and
influential and have large families.
All their members are fearless.
Middlesboro. KY, Oct. S.-The stu
alton at Big Springs Tenn, where at
the Union Baptist church Sunday four
members of the Caldwell and the
Morgan factions were killed and five
wounded, is gloomy and it is the gen.
eral opinion that more bloodshed is
certain to follow.
A report reached here today by way
of TaZewell, Tenn, that second
clash between the factions had oc-
Cured late yesterday afternoon, but
the story is as yet unconfirmed. At
noon when a horseman arrived here
from Ewing, Va, five miles from Big
Springs, no more trouble had oc-
Cured, although the feeling was at
high tension. Both factions were bar
ricaded in their homes and were
armed to the teeth. Many believe
that they are only waiting for dark
ness to renew the trouble. Two mem
bers of each faction came to Cumber-
land Gap yesterday and secured large
supplies of ammunition.

Of Interest to Farmers.

AS the spring has opened and crops are
being planted insects are again becoming
numerous and their ravages will soon
begin. We wish to urge farmers not to
wait until a crop is ruined, and then
write for Information. but as soon as an
insect enemy is detected. send some speci-
mems to this office, SO that they may be
identified, and remedies suggested. The
Importance of the work against injurious
insects is becoming more and more ap-
parent. Everybody is invited to make
free use of this office to obtain informa-
ton regarding insect friends and foes.
