LAKE AND LEARY
In Town Endeavoring 10 Break
 Up Freight Jam.

The freight strike at the local
 houses. though first regarded as q small affair, proved to be such a set
 back for the company that after two
 weeks of endeavoring to make prog ress the company saw that something
 must be done. When the representa-
 lives Of the road were notified by ooionel Burpee, acting In the inter- ests or several Waterbury concerns. .Hat more progress must be made in hancling their freight, a reply was sent to Colonel Burpee that in a few aays M. J.-I-eary, the travelling agent. anu the new superintendent, Lake. Wouio come to town in a few days 10 look after the situation in this clty. When the item appeared in tha Democrat many wondered if tha company would make good it's prom ise. It did all right, for this morn ing Messrs Lake and Leary were in .his city doing their utmost to re-
 leVe the congested conditions. They came to town yesterday afternoon and Superintendent Lake, after heinz shown around by MT Leary. decided to remain in this city for a few days uhtli some progress is made in un- loading the cars that are now in tha yards and placing freight where it belongs.
 c. s. Lake has just come from the south, where he was superintendent or the Danville division of the South- ern Railway Go. He was surprised at the condition of the local houses ana yards and saw that freight was pilng up so rapidly that if the strike continued many days longer the situ- ation would be something awful. pro- vlding things went along as they nave the past two weeks. Tbia morning Lake went from house to mousse. When speaking concerning the outlook, he said that the public Will see big change at the yards in lew days. Tt is our intention to get tnls matter righted and will not rest until do so. I never imagined things were in such bad shane. but with the aid of my assistants I will do my utmost to eliminate the tie- up now existing"
 MT Leary when seen this mornine was directing the loading of a trans Ter car Goods which have been on the platform many days and that were not assigned for this city were Deing looked after. He did not care 70 discuss the situation, but stated that MT Lake was in charge and he was working under Lakes orders.
 Assistant Superintendent Dunn was on hand to-day and was just as busy as though Mir Lake and Mir Leary were not in town. With tho whole force of officials, or at least the Dig fry, 1t was only natural that something would be doing. They went at the cars this morning with a vengeance and as there is twice as many men now employed as before the strike, not to mention the freight that is being handled at the new station, which has been n brick to the company, it now appears as though the blockade will be broken m short time with the new men at the head. The old men must realize by this time that the company sadly them, for though statements were given out daily that matters were fighting themselves, these stories were knocked sky high by re- cent happenings, and the coming to town of Lake, Leary ct al proved without doubt what really serious condition existed in this city.

FIGHTING A TRUST WITH TERRORISM.
kentucky Tobacco Planters Have Started a Cooperative Campaign That
End I'm a Great Feud.
hoNOpoLrs AGENTS DRIVEN OUT and FARMERS SOCIETY in POSITION TO START Ma

which Is doing the work, has about
261 ,000, 600 pounds of tobacco in its
control. This represents sixty per
cent. of the 1906 crop and eighty-f1ve
per cent. of the. 1907 crop. The far
mers who subscribed to the stock
Of the society to enable it to carry
the tobacco have been paid for only
one-half Of the tobacco they have put
in, and unless the society succeeds
there is bound to be a terrible slump.
Prof. J. D.. Clark, one of the lead
ing men in the society, who has just
returned from the meeting of the
Louisville, says:
First, it is proposed to declare
the tobacco now controlled by the
society OF the market, then to organ
ize q cooperative stock company for
the manufacture of the tobacco on
hand and its distribution direct to the
retail merchants. 1t is proposed to
capitalize this company at 100000
600 and erect big manufactures in
the various districts.
Half of the capital stock, of $5,-
100000, is to be taken by the grow
ers who are members of the society
and paid for in tobacco to their credit
in the pool. The remaining $5,000,-
900 is to be preferred stock and will
be sold to banks, business men, and
investors who in many sections are
already interested in the movement
and who have demonstrated their
willingness to give the society fnan-
ciai backing. With the stock thus
| placed it would be an easy matter
for the company to issue bonds for
the erection of factory buildings
"a trust agent stated to us only
a few days ago that the trust had
| enough tobacco to keep it running
for two years, and that the independ-
emit companies had about a years SUPP
| ply. With this supply exhausted and
the Equity Society in control OF the
market, the trust would have to close
up shop, and the producers, being
their own manufacturers, would
make the twenty cents on every
pound of tobacco sold which now goes
to enrich the trust magnates. This
lis in brief the plan which Is being
| considered by the Equity Society, and
which appears practical"
Trust Made to Pay More.
The black hurley people have been
far more successful in organizing
than have the planters of the white
variety. In the dark belt for the
last four or five years the trust has
| been compelled to give advanced
prices for the weed. Many attempts
were made before a successful plan
| was found to finance the tobacco as
| ISOLATION. When the company went
to the Eastern financiers for money
they met the opposition of the To-
bacco Trust,S and their plans. always
miscarried. In the last two years,
however, the county banks have ia
ken up the paper, and the society has
been able to pay for the tobacco sub
scribed, giving the farmer the a
ket price, one-half in cash and-the
other half in stock in the society,
with the further agreement that he

Lexington, XVIII: the Ken
lucky tobacco planters be able to
command their. w price for the pro-
duct of their lands or will their fight
with the Tobacco Trust result in a
great feud in which many lives are
to be sacrificed? This question is
agitating Kentucky farmers at pres
ent.
The producers of Blue Grass seed
have formed. a pool and sold their en-
tire crop this season at a greatly ad-
vanced price, but this will be sold
back to the other farmers, and they
must pay the farmers who harvested
the seed the additional profits. The
growers of wheat have attempted a
pool with some success, and the
breeders of thoroughbred horses
have a tacit understanding SO that
prices are enhanced.
In Western Kentucky the planter
who will not join the Tobacco Asso-
citation fears to close his eyes lest
some of his property be DESTROYED by
might riders" In Central Ken
lucky there are some planters who
say the men who are building up the
tobacco pools have objects of graft
before them. and they will not go in.
The trust buyers are having a hard
time. They dare not reveal them
selves in the black tobacco district,
for the tobacco planters In that end
of the State fear no law. The Fire
Marshal and the Governor have each
taken a hand in trying to suppress
lawlessness, but it is increasing with
alarming rapidity. The Grand Juries
will not act, nor will the Sherifs of
the counties investigate the lawless
deeds of the night raiders, either
through fear or sympathy.
Work of the ''Night Riders"
The disorder specially centres in
Trigg, Caldwell, Todd, and Hopkins
Counties, which are infested with the
~so-called "Night Riders" The work
was first confined to threats and in
timidation, but when it was seen
that these methods did not have the
desired effect violent methods were
pursued. It is now a daily ccur-
renee for farmers to be taken from
their homes at night and severely
dashed by masked men or to awake
and find their barns destroyed by
fire or dynamite. A new scheme was
discovered by laborers on the farm
of DR.. Work in Trigg County, who
were seriously injured by a discharge
of dynamite placed in wheat SHOCK
during the night. The dynamite
exploded when the wheat was passed
through the machinery.
That the influence of the associa-
ton Is spreading and has reached the
whit4 Burley district was shown In
the last week, when the farmers OF
Mason County were unable to get
hands to thrash their wheat because
they were not members of the associ-
alton, and thousands of bushels will
spoil as a result.
Strong Antitrust Organization.
Meanwhile the efforts to organize
the tobacco people have advanced
rapidly, and it is now estimated that

CHILDREN STABBED BY RIPPER
Eerin Fsrents Tenorized and German City
Intensely Excited.

Berlin, Germany Unparalleled in
this country for brutality are the acts
of a man who slashed three little
girls in this city, cutting open their
'stomachs with a sharp weapon and
then making his escape before an
alarm could be given. The entire
police force of Berlin is hunting for
the man and the utmost excitement
has been aroused among the resi-
dents. Posters describing the fend
have been placed on all the advertis-
ing pillars and a reward of $1,000 has
been offered for his capture.
The crimes of the man have struck
terror in the hearts of all parents in
this city. The deeds caused almost
every mother in the city to keep her
little ones of the street and to watch
them at home. Hardly a child could
be seen playing in the street after
news of his acts became known.
In a few hours the assassin en-
ticed three girls, the oldest only five.
years old, into doorways of houses
and stabbed them several times in
the abdomen with a sharp instru-
ment. As a result one OF the chill
dren is dead, another was fatally
wounded and the third dangerously
injured.
