RAISE PRICES

TIE daifsmen Of Danville aud vic.
unity have decided " advance the
price Of milk aud cream, the change
~ 90 into effect on September 18TH
Infthe following communication one
of tile dairymen has set forth the rea.
sons for the increase n price
Editor American -
At the request Of the dairymen Of
Montour county. who sell milk Ia
Dauville, South Danville. and River.
side, ask space tn your excellent pap.
er, to submit to the public matter
which is Of interest TO the entire com.
munity.
About 10 months ago the dairymen
found Il necessary, owing to the adj
vance in grain aud scarcity of hay. TO
advance the price of milk one cent per
quart Several of the milkmen who
purchased their milk AZ the 3 cent per
quart rate were able 90 continue at the
g ccut figure. When spriug came the
dairvmen thought it fair to their Gus
toners TO drop again to the old price,
q cents per quart. not thinking that
the strangest season known in our
generation was to alter the entire pro-
gram
During the summer months the cows
are either turned into the fields to nip
the fresh pasture, which yields an
abundance Of rich milk. or else fed
daily with some of the several legumes
which are usually raised for the purpose
by the farmers and dairymen. Owing
to the peculiar season the grass did
not materialize. neither did the clover,
peas, sorghum. ETC., amount to any
thing consequently owners of cows
have been compelled to substitute the
different mill feeds which have been
steadily advancing in price, not a cent
or two at time but by leaps of 3
cents per hundred every fews days and
no one can predict when it will end.
Corn is failure throughout the en-.
the second crop. which lis usually
harvested about this season, is like
wise failure. Corn is now bringing
so cents per bushel and is forcing oats
to double its value. At this writing
the dairy man who does not have his
bran and middlings set aside day or
in % il fn haa
the miller say I've have not a pound
Of feed in the mill. "
This is the situation at present and
in view Of the growing scarcity of
milk, the dairymen met at Mausdale,
some days since and were unanimous
in declaring that cent must be added
to the summer price, even though it
be early in the season. 1t was then de-
cided that for the present the price of
new milk be fixed at cents per quart,
pints being sold at 1 cents Skim milk
cents per quart and cream is cents
per quart or 10 cents per pint. These
prices will go into effect on September
10TH, and will be strictly adhered to
by all the dairymen. II feed still con-
tinues to advance another meeting
will be called at the beginning of win
ter.
This communication will prepare
the good housewives of Danville for
the change in price and that these
ladies will not place the blame for the
advance upon the milkman, who. in
fact, is not making the extra cent, but
is Just holding his own through a
peculiarly disappointing season.

Then telegram was sent. urging the
necessity Of his attendance, and asking

CuIberSOn Declares Discharge
of Negro Troops Justified
BY EVENTS AND LAW
Cites Attack on a woman--C Comedies,
However, That Deprivation of Civil
Rights Was in Excess Of
Authority.

Washington, Ian. Ain the Senate
yesterday Senator Forker's resolution
ordering an inquiry by the Senate into
the discharge OF the negro troops Of the
Twenty fifth Infantry on account Of the
Brownsville, Tex, episode, was called
up for debate, and Senator Culberson Of
Texas took the floor He strongly de-
Tended the course Of, President Roose-
welt, and declared that great injustice
had been done the people Of Brownsville
IN regard TO this matter adding that
while ut first he intended to be silent
be now felt inmpeIled to speak.
Senator Cuiberson began outlining
the history III the events al Browns
vile. He declared the negro troops
stationed there had been ignorant,
disrespectful, and insolent,' that they
had engaged in riots and disturbances
at other places, eliminating IN murder;
that after being stationed at Fort Brown
one Of them on Aug IL had criminally
assaulted one Of the most respected
women Of Brownsville, aud that this was
followed BY the ''stootine mp Of the
town BY fifteen 81 twenty of the c0lUred
troops
The senator warmly upheld the course
of the people Of Brownsville, who, be
said. had been most mjustly assaulted.
He commended Capt. Mcdonald Of the
Texas Rangers, Major Blockson, and
other officers who had been criticized,
and followed this with lengthy legal
argument unfolding the Presidents
course in diseharging the troops. He
contended, however, that the President i
order depriying the men Of the right to
re enlist and attempting to cut off a
part Of their civil rights was in excess
Of his authority.
The defense Of Capt. Mcdonald was
especially interesting, inasmuch as Sen
ator Foraker had attacked him because
OF Major Bloekson's reference to him as
man who was 80 brave that he would
not hesitate to charge he'll with a bucket
Of water"
The speaker denounced as false the
assertion that the troops were discharg-
ed because they were negroes. They
were discharged. DC declared, because Of
criminal odenses; and their discharge
without honor" was within the Presi-
dents discretion, while ''dishonorable
discharge could only result from a
court-martial
