DISTRICT ATTORNEY FILES
4 SENSATIONAL SUIT

District Attorney McLaurin is a
painstaking and conscientious prose
cutting attorney, one of whom the dis
trict justly feels proud, and the action
he is taking in enforcing the law to
the letter will be commended by all
law abiding citizens.
Yesterday at an early hour he filled
two very important papers with the
clerk of the circuit court which will
more forcibly than, ever demonstrate
that he is a fearless and conscientious
prosecutor.
One of the papers is quo warranto

He charges the said company with
having begun the sale of liquor in
their club rooms on May 1, in viola
ton of the state, county, and natiknal
government as well as in violation
of their charter.
That he will prove the charges goes
without the saying as he is no doubt

SHERLOCK HOLMES
TAKES BACK Seat
MAN WHO STOLE TELEPHONE
WIRES TAKES CAKE.
Telephone Manager Has Mysterious
Visitor, But the CIew Which He Di-
vulged Proved to Be Another Cold
Trail-Mystery Deepens.

The place of concealment of the
copper wires recently stolen from the
Cumberland Telephone company, re-
mains secret though there are a
number of theories as to who got them.
where they are and all about tn
matter.
Monday afternoon as the manager
was seated in his office trying to
revolve some scheme into his mind
by which he could catch the rogues
he had a very mysterious visitor who
desired a private audience with the
representative of the company.
The audience was granted and
when the two were cioseted alone the
mysterious one said that he knew a
party who knew where the stolen wire
was buried and gave the manager
the name of the party who possessed
the much coveted information.
Later the manager called upon the
second man and asked if he knew
where the property was concealed and
the party said that he did not know
anything about the wire but he knew
where lot of brass which had been
removed from freight and passenger
cars was buried but as the manager
was not out to hunt up railroad prop
erty he did not worry further along
this trail.
Up to the present time there has
been no tangible clues secured
though alto ne time it was thought
that they had the RICH trail only to
learn that such was not the case.
Many theories have been advanced
in regard to the matter, some suggest
ing that the wires might have been
cut by parties who desired to cripple
the service and with no intention of
stealing them, but the absence of that
large amount of wire would indicate
that they were after the copper.

Indianapolis, Ind, October "a
With the object of creating a trust
which will absolutely control the
prices of all the agricultural products
of the country, delegates from SO
states, representing present member
ship of 100000 farmers, assembled in
Indianapolis today for the fifth an
nual convention of the American So
ciety of Equity. Already the society
has succeeded in greatly raising the
price of tobacco and other minor pro-
ducts, and plans will be completed at
the present meeting to extend its in
fluence over all commodities raised
on the farm and in the orchard and
garden. Great gains have been made
in the last year and the officers of
the organization are now predicting
that within a year one million active
farmers in the central west will be
banded together in an offensive and
defensive warfare for higher prices.
The time of the convention, which
will last four days, will be devoted
largely to transacting the business of
the organization. Aside from the an
nual report of President j. A. Everitt
the convention will not listen to any
set speeches. No practical politicians
singing the praises of the "horny
handed sons of toll" and with al
eye out for votes, will appear before
the convention. The meeting will b,
strictly business one. The member,
of the American Society of Equity ar,
"on the make" They want plan
that will put money in their pockets
not platitudes.
In his annual address, J. A. Everitt
president and founder of the society
will recommend the establishment o
marketing system for the society

thoroughly armed with all the neces-
sary proof.
The other important paper filed is
civil action against Pauline Miller.
a denizen of the under world, and her
two sureties, and the state asks for
$500 damages in lieu of the Just nav
ment of forfeit of 1901.
The case is very complicated one
and in many features sensational in
the extreme. Pauline Miller was CON
'victed upon a very serious charge and
fined 5000 April, 1906, but the fine was
RENTED conditional that she reform
and give two sureties, good and true.
that she would live up to her obliga-
ton.
She furnished the sureties, two very
staid citizens of this city, and went
her way rejoicing, but only to fall
again and with this fall the district
attorney claims that her sureties be-
come liabe for the original fine.
In his declaration he claims that
they have refused to pay the amount
and in view of the necessity for a suit
the commonwealth of Mississippi asks
for damages in the amount of $500 =

Farmers May Form a Trust
to Control Prices of All
Sorts of Farm Products

whereby its members may dispose of
their products direct to the consum-
ers in the large cities, thus eliminat-
ing middlemen. Up to this time the
efforts of the society have been large
ly directed toward education and or
ganization, and it is now said to be
in a position to install a machine for
marketing that will bring home to
members the material benefits that
such a plan promises.
"The present convention will be
the most important and noteworthy
gathering of the agricultural interests
OF the nation ever held" declared
President Everitt. I'VE are now in
position to bring to the farmers of
the contrary, 1t is our intention to
open the eyes of all of them. By Sc
curing better prices for the growers
of farm products it does not mean
that the consumer will have to pay
advanced prices for his supplies. On
the contrary, it is our intention to
eliminate some of the toll-gates that
now stand between the producer and
the consumer. The middlemen are
now getting more than they are en-.
titled to. Our society intends to di-
vide some of the middlemen's profit
in an equitable manner between the
producer and the consumer"
The plan OF the society is to control
the supply of agricultural products in
the hands of the first owners and
hold it until the price demanded is
paid. Up to this time the most ag
gressive work has been done in sec
lions of the country producing large
ly of certain crop, as in the tobacco
growing districts of Kentucky, Ten
nessee and Virginia. There the so
ciety is in almost absolute control
and the tobacco trust" is forced to
pay the price asked The plan has
also been worked successfully by the

Farmers union Of the South in con-
trolling the cotton crop.
At the present meeting minimum
selling prices will be established on
all farm products and the members
will then pledge themselves to hold
their stores until the market price
reaches the coveted figure. Already
the society has established commits
sion houses in st. Louis and Kansas
City and the wheat growers of the
southwest are patronizing them liber-
ally. Through the society's agency,
members of the organization who are
not in a position financially to hold
their crops until the price advances
to the official figure are enabled to
store their grain in the society's
warehouses and have money advanced
to them within 20 per cent. of the
current market price. 1t is the inten-
ton of the society to open such com
mission houses in all of the large mar
kets of the country.
The indications are that ]. A. Ever
lit, the Indianapolis man who founded
the society, will be reelected to the
presidency at the annual election to
be held Friday.
Today's session was devoted largely
to the presentation of the reports of
the national secretary, treasurer, di-
rector of organization and board of
directors. The reports of the various
affiliated departments including those
of the tobacco growers, fruit and pro-
duce, grain covers, peanut growers
and essential oil producers, will be
read tomorrow. The state officers
will also report progress in their Sec
lions. President Everitt will deliver
his address Thursday. The grain
growers department will hold its an
nual meeting Friday.
