intention TO enforce rigilly the anti
graft section of the Carcy-C Cothran
Act. This section is very rigid and
far-reaching in its provisions and is
intended to do away with whiskev rep
rcScntatives soliciting orders from or
even talking to members of the var
i"uS county boards of CONTROL
The first ease WAS brought a~ainst
Il MIR. Solomon for talking to a men,
brr of the county board of Beaufort
county. The magistrate dismissed the
ease. cndcav"ring at the same time to
interpret the intention Of the lc~isla-
lurc. Another case is brought before
Magistrate Rowles in Greenwood
county against w. IT. Stallworth. As
this case before Magistrate White was
only preliminary hcarin" we rather
incline to the opinion that Ma.iStrate
White has undertaken to decide q
question which was not before him,
and that it was his duty to have bound
the party over to the circuit court for
trial. Magistrate White, in rendering
his opinion, stated that he considered
what he believed to be the spirit Of
the law rather than the letter of the
law. That might be question for a
jury to consider, but it does not seem
to us that it was proper question for
magistrate in preliminary hear
ing.
The section of the law know as
Section 4G. under which these cases
are brought, is as follows:

STANLEYS
STATEMENT
Explains His Evansville
Interview Recently
Published.
ANSWER EVENING POST.
Promises a Detailed Defense
in His Speech of This
Week.

Henderson Evening Journal, Aug.
Is, 1904 short time ago while in
Evansville, on important legal bust
ness, and while at dinner, / was APP
preached by a representative of the
Evansville Courier, who, among 9TH
er things called my attention to an
article which recently appeared
in the Saturday Evening Post, on
August 3, and to other similar arti-
cles usually emanating in the East
portraylng in lurid colors a state of
anarchy and warfare in Kentucky.
These papers have claimed that this
deplored state Of affairs exists all
over the dark tobacco district of
which my Congressional district is
part. In describing this horrible
condition both the New York Sun
and Saturday Evening Post use this
language, Because Of it men sit by
night with rifles in their hands to
guard their crops and barns; because
of it, cities have been called to arms
to resist threatened attacks and des-
truction of property; because of it
every night in nineteen counties in
Kentucky and Tennessee men sleep
with bolts drawn, windows barred
and weapons within reach. 1t has
created unrest, suspicion and terror;
in a word it has driven peace from
the land"
In speaking of such illusions as
this / said:
THAT the many stories of that ma
ture which have been sent over the
country were written by the subsi-
died agents of the American Tabac-
co company, that that company is
controlled by the same clique who
own the Standard Oil company, and
is in fact part of the Standard Oil
company's holdings" In a word, l
now charge that such articles as that
contained in the Saturday Evening
Post of August 3, and the recent edi
torial of the New York Sun, and 9th
err similar articles in as far as they
describe conditions in my district
and in my State are gross exaggera-
tons and that the Standard Oil COM
pany is the power behind the throne
in the American Tobacco Trust, by
both of which statements unequivo-
cally stand.
The statement that the Standard |
Oil company is one of the heaviest |
holders in the American Tobacco !

FARMERS UNION A REALITY
Farmers of Middle West Decide TO
Cut Cut Middlemen.

Years of dreams in which farmers of
the middle west have seen themselves
thoroughly Notwithstanding with
the consumer in Chicago through the
agency of local unions without the as
sistance from the arbitrary middle
man, are to bo realized within thirty
days.
The plans for the beginning of the
experiment were practically complet-
ed by representatives of the American
Society of Equity, the Farmers Union,
at meeting of the Chicago Fedora
tion of Labor. Under these plans the
promoters of the scheme expect to be
in "a position within month to ship to
Chicago, hay, butter, and eggs and
such other farm products as are to be
found in the country at this season CT
the year.
The Federation of Labor is acting
as the clearing house for the farmers
produce.
The executive committee of the
Federation of Labor and the Farmers
Union representatives met and decided
that the Chicago clearing house should
be in charge of a man appointed by
each body. Several grocery stores,
in every quarter of the city, will be
as tho representatives of the clearing
house and they will be permitted to
sell the products at profit of 10 per
cent.

GROWING WHEAT PROTECTED
Blanket of Snow Covered Ground
During Cold Spell,

Duling the recent cold spell a blan-
ket of snow covered the ground aud
afforded protection to growing grain
against freezing out.
Those who examined grain after
the snow went off reported it to be
thrifty and in good condition.
At the present time every indication
goes to show that winter in this Sec
tion is by no means over and anxiety
is felt for the future safety of the
growing crop. Alternate freezing and
thawing is said to be disastrous to the
tender roots of the wheat plant, and
another fall of snow would be well
coined.
Had the winter weather held on for
two or three weeks longer, with its
breaking up then, the opinion is
expressed that an early spring would
have been the result, and consider
able farm work could have been done
during the latter part of February.

Effort for a Large Commercial
Association
SOCIAL FEATURES TOBE ADDED
Interest is Centered in the Matter
Which Will Be Taken Up at
the Meeting of Feb. 5.

A movement for larger member
ship in the Athena Commercial Asso-
citation is we'll under way.
AS an inducement to increase the
mem bership roll by securing new men,
bers, and enthusing interest in the
Association on the part of old mem bers,
as stated in the Press some time ago,
it is proposed to add social and amuse-
ment features, in the way of providing
reading matter and card tables at
which social games may be played by
members.
1t is believed that by following this
method, as employed by the CONNER
cial leaders OF other towns and cities,
and which has been found by them to
be success, and which has been the
means of attaining and keeping to-
gether a large membership, the Athe-
ma Association will be greatly benefit
ed.
With an open town--that is, the
Commercial Association rooms always
open to members--i interest will neces-
sarily be more keen in the regular
meetings, and attendance will be
letter and more regular.
The matter will be discussed at the
next regular meeting, which takes
place on Tuesday evening, February B.

IS AFTER THE WEEDS
Representative Barrett Would
Eliminate Field Pest.
INTRODUCEDB|LL FOR PURPOSE
Law Needed to Compel Concerted Ac-
tion Humorous Sketch By
Salem Correspondent

The spread of white mustard in the
fields northwest of Athena has spurred
action on the part of 9. A. Barrett to
the sxtent of preparing bill for the
eradication of the pest. This weed is
serious menace to future production
of grain in this part of Umatilla county,
and before it can be controlled, law
enforcing its destruction will have to
appear on the statute book and be
strictly enforced.
Last season farmers in some instances
employed extra help to pull these crop
destroyers, but little was accomplished
in the work of determination for the
reason that other farmers did not pull
weed and these going to seed, were
blown helter-sk elter across fields that
had been worked over, thus seeding
them again to weeds.
The Salem correspondent of the Port
land Telegram writes the following
humorous sketch of Representative
Barrett's bill to eliminate the pest of
the wheat fields:
Representative 9. A. Barrett of UNA
tilla county, is anxious to siLg a
solemn high requiem over the remains
of Oregon's 8 faithful friends Sesquib-
rum Altissimom and Atriplex Argenta,
at least that is what the reading clerk
of the house said when announcing
the nature of the bill as it was thrown
into the hopper.
"As one of the hewers of legislative
wood and drawers of Salem water,
Barrett believes it would be for the
good of the commonwealth to perform
the aforesaid funeral service. Sequib-
rum and Atriplex are better known to
the farmers of Oregon as White
Mustard and Silver Salt Brush.
Very pernicious and quickly spreading
weeds, With them Barrett would
do to death the truculent Russian,
Canadian aud Chinese thistles.
He suggests that every road super
visor in the state, when he takes his
early morning walks, stroll OUT through
Neighbor Jones' and Brother Smiths
pasture lots and search for the hum

Epidemic Records Broken.

All epidemic records for period
of twenty four hours as far back as
the typhoid plague of 1898, were bro
ken Sunday in Chicago, when 100
cases of scarlet fever and forty five
cases of dyphtheria, total of las
were reported to the Chicago Health
Department. Besides these were re-
corded twenty cases of other conta-
gious diseases. The increase in dyph-
iberia was considered alarming. In
the weekly bulletin, issued by the
health department, strong emphisis is
laid upon plea for the ablishment
of a regular inspection of the schools.
1t includes an assertion that the in
spection made possible by the emer-
gency appropriation of $15, 900 should
end the present conditions within a
fortnight.

before, but instead of killing the weed
the measure has died itself.
If the callow youth who penned the
above could be forced to wear callous-

facetious humor would doubtless be
dampened somewhat. If he would
climb out of his narrow rut and take a

he would find something to write
about which would be of real interest
to the readers of his paper.
