tended by about two hundred people,
many of whom were business meo Sew
eral business houses were closed at
the hour of the sale by request of the
city council, in order that the EN-.
ployers and employees might attend.
The sale began about / As o'clock
1t had been announced for 10 o'clock
but was postponed on account of the
rain which fell in the forenoon. The
SELL ng was brisk, some investors buy

in Lynchburg, Va, November Il
and 10, 1904, and recommended that
no 1904 tobacco should be sold for
less than an average cf eight and
Snine cents. These prices have since
been realized in many instances and
the general average for tobacco dur
ing the past year has been much
higher than in 10000. The coming
convention intends to declare the
minimum prices at which each class
and grade of the 1905 crop should he
sold. This convention will be COM
posed of the leading tobacco. growers

Growers branch of the American

Letter TO Farmers.
''To the Tobacco Growers of Breck-
enridge County: 1t is fact, now
openly admitted by the leading to-
bacco trade Journals that surplus
stock of tobacco in warehouses and
factories has nearly all been brou hit
into consumption. This has been the
result of the increased demand during
the past year, and the fact that much
of the 1904 tobacco is still held by
the growers The statement so largely
circulated year ago, that there is a
Fwo years surplus on hand, is no
longer credited nor is 1t true 1t is
also generally admitted bv the tobacco
journals that the crop of 1904 was
much below a normal crop, aud that
the crop of 1905 will be little, if any
larger. 1t is evident, and the evidence
is more evident to the tobacco dealer
than to anyone else, that before the
crop of 1906 can be placed on the
market. every pound and scrap of 1904
and 1905 toDacco in first hands Will be
sought for and gobbled up, and il the
growers hold the crops back and mar
ket slowly, prices will be much higher
than those now offered.
Tine organized tobacco growers are
desperately in earnest in their de-
mands for fair prices and the coming
convention which will extend over a
period of three days will be the lar
gest, most important gathering of to-
bacco growers ever known in this
country. Capable committees will ar
range plans for handling the crop from
the time it is put in the barn until it
is turned into cash at the prices asked
by the farmers. Pre- cmiuent tobacco
growers will attend and fire the zeal
of the farmers with strong speeches.

Should be Represented.

Every county that produces enough
tobacco to make a smoke should have
delegation at Owensboro, whether
they are organized or not. If they are
not organized they soon will be when
they learn how many of the organized
farmers saved more money through
their organization than soine others
made. The growers In many counties
of Kentucky and Tennessee have held
their 1904 crops and ere making full
preparations to hold their crop of
1905.
THE wheat growers of Kansas,
many of them. are dumping their
wheat at So cents per bushel. In In
diana the farmers are partially organ
lied and better educated along the
lines of controlled marketing, and
are marketing more wisely, receiving
65 and 80 cents. The farmers of Vir-
gina and Kentucky, where they are
thoroughly organized, are in some
cases being offered 80 cents to 81. 90.
This shows how much wheat is
really worth. 1t shows what it ought
to sell for, and why it does not in all
cases. More than all, it shows that
when the farmers want ANYTHING and
demand it comparatively, they get it.

tobacco for less than the Owensboro
co INVENTION will say it should sell fOr,
will be robblng his family to make a

ut is said that the tobacco trust

DESIRE FOR DEATH.
Distressing Suicides in
German Schools.
Causes are Exceedingly Subtle. Econ
omic Conditions, Absence OF Faith
ane Over Stimulation are Sug-
qested Causes.
(By the Associated Press.l

Berlin, Sept. 23.-Several distress
sing instances of childrens suicides
have occurred since the autumn
school term began. This has brought
on discussion of the conditions of
school and home life and endeavors
are being made to trace the causes
of that increasing feebleness of the
desire to live which it is affirmed the
1900 suicides of 1908 indicate.
The causes of suicide in Germany
are regarded as being exceedingly
subtitle and in the current discussions
the personal views on the subject
have generally been decided by the
observers opinions on other qucS-
tons The socialists accent suicides
by economic conditions making it
harder to get subsistence, darkening
life generally and throwing over the
lives of the children.
The clerical view is that the abb
sence of faith, the increase of ire
ligion and the growth of sensual ma
terialism explain the weakening de-
sire for life and that revival of spir-
itual aims would lessen suicides by
increasing the serenity of living.
Critics of the school systems as
sert that children are forced too
much: that they are over-Stimulated
and given tasks which are impossible
for accomplishment for those slight
ly below the standard of capacity
and that punishhents, the fear of re-
proofs and injury to self pride push
the child towards the suicide. to
which he often hears his elders refer
as a refuge.
An instance is given OF twelve
year old boy who had failed to do a
Latin exercise properly and was sent
home to his father. The boy the mo-
ment he entered his fathers room
shot himself. In identical circum-
stance another boy threw himself out
of window.

cides in Germany during eighteen
