POSSE KILLS MOB MEMBER
Attempt to Capture William Baker
II Repulsed By the officers
Guarding Him.

Jacksonville, Fla, Sept 17.-After
two days of quiet in the country near
Baxter, an attack was made late
Thursday night on posse which was
guarding the home of William Baker,
one of the participants in the alleged
Duncan-Altman feud. One of the mob
Ellis Bowling, was killed, and several
wounded, according to dispatches re-
ceived Friday. 1t was reported that
Deputy Sheriff Thrift, in charge of the
posse, was killed, but later advices in
dictate he was merely wounded. A
company of state militia was ordered
to the scene, and has already depart
ed for Baxter, which is about one
hours ride from Jacksonville.
1t appears that the posse, in the at
tempt to prevent further bloodshed
was resting on its arms, over Duncan's
store, when they heard the mob ap-
preaching along the railroad track
Deputy Sheriff Thrift put his head ou'
Of the window, and was wounded, but
not seriously. He then led his force
outside to repulse the mob. Severa
of the mob were wounded, and one, Ell.
lis Bowling 9 prominent farmer, was
killed. The mob then retired to the
home Of the Altman brothers, where, i
is said. they are preparing to resist al
attempts to arrest the Altmans.

To checkmate the Trust.

Word from the sixteen counties
of Tennessee and Southern Ken
lucky, which are included in the
great GAINESVILLE dark tobacco grow
ing district, is to the effect that the
farmers are becoming aroused as
never before over the necessity for
immediate organization, along sub
stantial business lines, for the pur-
pose OF combating the tobacco
trusts and agreeing upon plans for
holding their tobacco in the future
for better prices. 1t has been shown
that the tobacco crop of 1908 was
sold by many Of the farmers to rep
resentatives of the tobacco trusts
for less than the cost of production,
and hence at considerable loss to
the planters. This policy resulted
from the fact that the farmers con-
sidered that they were practically
at the mercy of the trusts and had
to accept their prices if they sold
their tobacco at all. 1t is under
stood that in some of the counties
interested the farmers are beginning
to form their county organizations
and will name delegates to attend
the meeting at Guthrie, KY, on the
oath instant, which is called for the
purpose of forming a permanent
organization and agreeing upon
plans for successfully fighting the
trusts and forcing them to pay bet
ter prices for tobacco.
The tobacco buyers deny that the
trusts have been attempting to force
down the prices of tobacco, and as
sert that the low prices of this year
are due to the fact that the farmers
seem bent on quantity rather than
quality, and that they offer the best
prices possible for the quality oe
tobacco they are offered. They de-
clare rat if the farmers will raise
a higher grade of tobacco than
formerly, then they may expect, and
will certainly receive, better prices.
However this may be, the farmers
propose to organize, and their lead
ers are adopting systematic plans by
which they hope to accomplish the
purpose intended, realizing that
theFscan not expect. totsuccessfully
cope with the trusts without thor
ough organization and a concerted
plan for action in selling their
crops. The outcome of the coming
Guthrie meeting is being awaited
with great interest.
