WILSON TOBACCO MARKET
DIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS
AND LAST YEAR.
Sales Not Near as harGe and Prices
in the County to Nothing.
Especial to The Messenger.)

Wilson, n. c., September Mr..
George Dew, supervisor of sales for the
Wilson tobacco market made his report
for the month of August on last Sat
urday. This report shows a total sale
for the month of August of 100000
pounds with al average of about 4 l.
cents. When this is compared with
sales and average of August of last
year, the great difference IN the market
can readily be seen. The total for
last August was 4 million ana a nail
pounds. The average was nearly IL
cents. During the past W weeks the
average on this market has been
downward. AS the Imperial Tobacco
Company did not come on the market
at the opening it was hoped that tney
would strengthen the market after they
began TO handle tobacco. but this has
not been the case. While they are now
buying tobacco in a small way there has
been no strength added to prices as a
result of their entering the market.
The American Tobacco Company is
buying a very small per cent. of t.
offerings, and are showing no desire to
have tobacco bring a better price.
The farmers movement III Wilson
county has fallen fiat. The speech Of
Mr.. Cunningham has had very little
influence. While a great many of the
large tobacco raisers are holding their
tobacco for higher prices, he general
impression is that the crop will be
marketed regardless of the low prices.
Ip many cases, spurred on by the high
prices of last ear farmers have plant
ed tobacco entirely. In such instances
the farmer is compelled to sell because
all he has is tied up in topacco. The
merchants will not run him any longer
because of the low price of tobacco and
as a result much tobacco is o coming
in
prices on the Wilson market are
much higher than they are in South
Carolina. This fact is evidenced by the
amOUn of tobacco which is being ship
ped here from all of the South Carolina
markets. Many spectators are buying
tobaccOS on these markets and are
shipping it to Wilson to be resold. In
almost every case a nice profit is real
lied. While this is a very good show
ing for the Wilson market It is a bad
indication for the South Carolina
farmer

Will Harris the negro outlaw from
Mecklenburg county, seems to be head
ing this way. Chief of Police Scott re-
ceived a telegram yesterday afternoon
from Sheriff Julian of Rowan county,
saying, Look OF local freight for VIII
Harris" Mr.. Scott went to the sta
ton to inquire what time the train
would reach here, at the same time
telling the dispatcher his object in
meeting the train. The dispatcher SAID
the negro supposed to be Will Harris
got off the train at Lexington, so MIR.
Scott did not hav the chance of max
ms his aqcaiutance.
Sheriff Julian not only wired here to
look for Harris but also sent messages
to the larger towns between here and
Salisbury. When the local freight
pulled into Lexington yesterday about
twenty-five citizens heavily armed
with shot guns and pistols met the
train at the station with the intention
of taking Harris dead or alive. Har-
ris was too shrewd to be caught in
this manner
He had gotten off the train before
reaching Lexington but a negro who
had been with him remained on the
train. The negro was arrested by the
crowd. At first he refused to talk,
but later said that Harris had been on
the train with him and got off before
they reached Lexington. He Wouldt
tell where the desperate negro got off
and refused to give any information,
or ALI further about the matter.
Harris was outlawed several weeks
ago and a reward of $3.50 has been of
fered for his capture dead Or alive.
Later-Chief of Police Scott received
a message from Lexington last night
about ten o'clock, saying that Will
Harris left Conrad, a small station
three miles this side Of Lexington, yes

EFFECTS OF STRIKE.
Consequences of Difference Be,

Marshalltown, Dec. 30.-The effects
of the strike among the Iowa Central
switchmen in this city have practical,
~ all been obliterated, by the hard
work put in by the mel. since the set.
Element vas reached. YardmasteI
Minrus Swan was discharged by Sup.
erintendent Davis for refusing to as.
sist in the work in the yard while the
men were out. Tom Van Draska, the
former night yardmaster, was adyanc'
ed to the day position. Mr.. Swan will
be placed in charge of one of the day
engine crews.
Terms of Settlement.
The agreement reached was largely
through the efforts of Grand Master
w. Hawley, of the Switchmen's Union
of North America, who, as arbitrator,
arranged with Mr.. Sweeney the scale
of wages agreed upon that granted to
the strikers an advance of 2 cents per
hour. This makes the new scale
which will go into effect Jan. /, 1908,
% cents for day s%witchman and %

switchmen will receive 25 cents and
the foreman q cents. This is practi.
cally what the other roads are paying
in this city, yet is two cents under
what the switchmen demanded. Ten
hours is to constitute a days work and
all overtime TO be paid for at the reg
ular rate per hour. The men Of the
Oskaloosa yards will also be affected,
the same increase being granted to
them,
Dodge Turned Down.
A rather peculiar turn in the affair,
which may not be exactly clear to the
public, and is not to many of the train
men, was reached at about noon Sun
day, when Vice Grand Master G.. w.
Dodge, of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen, Chicago, made the demand
before a meeting of about twenty
brakemen employed by the Iowa Cen.
trail that they go into the yards here
and do switchmen's work. This he
claimed to be in accordance with the
bylaws of the organization, and he as,
serted, in view Of t he fact that by
going out the switchmen had disre'
garded the schedule, which he claim
ed to be a contract, issued by General
Supt. Sweeney last summer, the switch
men could not expect aid from the
trainmen, and the latter, in view OF
the conditions, should fill the strikers
places. Regardless of the implied
threat that they would be ousted from
the union, the entire body Of brake
men refused to move a hand, organic.
alton or nc organization, that would in
any way tend to weaken the u OF
the strikers. Mr.. Dodge was under
the painful necessity TO report to Mr.
Sweeney that his efforts to secure mer
from among the train crews to fill the
strikers places were In vaIn.
