kentucky Farmers Hold Tobacco and
Get Good Prices.
Monday. July 10Th, it was an
nounced in Louisville that the To-
bacco Warehouse Company had dis
posed of all save 1900 hogsheads
of the 5000 hogshead lot of dark
Green River crop of 1905, stored by
the Greenville branch of the Ameri-
can Society of Equity. Top price
was also received for the tobacco, as
it was held until the purchasers came
to the terms fixed by the Equity
people. The consignment was a
mixture of leaf, Tugs and trash, and
the average price per hogshead
amounted to slightly in excess of
S1OO. The leaf brought from $40
to $1,000, while the Tugs and trash
ranged from $3.50 to 1915 per hun
dred. When averaged at $40 per
hogshead, the total amount involved
in the sale is nearly 100000, which
is the largest sum as we'll as the lar
gest consignment Of tobacco ever
handled in local deal. The tobacco
was held by the farmer in contest
with the Tobacco Trust, and the sale
is considered great triumph for the
tobacco growers.-Home and Farm.

PROSECUTING THE TRUSTS.

Judge Lands, of the Circuit Court
of Chicago, has imposed fine of
500, 24O, 900 against the Standard Oil
Company for violating the Elkins
anti-rebate law. This Ia decidedly
the largest fine ever imposed in any
one case. The officials of the Stand
ard Oil are disposed 70 make light
of the fine and feel confident the
Supreme Court will not uphold
Judge Lands. The law under which
the Company was fined was passed
by Congress composed largely OF
able lawyers, and there is no visible
reason for believing that Judge Ian.
dis will not be sustained by the
higher Courts. While it is very
large fine it will not bankrupt the
Oil Company, but will probably
cause them to obey the law in the
future. There are 10000 Other
counts against the Company yet tt
be tried. The government Officiall
state that the railroads which gave
the rebates will now BIZ tried ii

riman, the railroad king, will b.
brought before the bar of justice
and will receive a heavy fine 70

Anothe! Joke on Vance.

The late Senator Vance enjoyed
telling jokes On himself. When he
was prscticing law he occasionally
attended Union County Courts. Ga
one visit, just as he had arrived at
the hotel at Monroe and was In his
room brushing off the dust, an old
litigant entered and placing bill of
money on the table, told Vance he
wanted to employ him in a case that
would be called soon after court
opened. He went on to explain that
he had a lawyer, but didn't like
him. "Who is he, and what is the
matter ?" asked Vance. "Mr,
Ashe," said the client, shut he
don't manage my case to suit me-"
swell, now" said Vance, "Mr.
Ashe is one of the finest lawyers in
the State, and is perfect gentle
man besides, and if he can't please
you I cannot hope to-" "Oh, I
know all that" replied the client :;
'I know that Mr.. Ashe is a gentle.

THAT LOCAL sELF-eovERNMENT.

During the recent rate controversy
there was much said by certain
Democratic papers of the State in
favor of local self:government that
the will Of the people in the State
should be permitted to rule, etc. If
these Democratic newspapers were
consistent in this position, then they
would not further deny the people the
right to rule In County affairs. The
man who says that he is in favor of
the people ruling in the State is not
telling the truth except when he has
a selfish interest in taking that posi-
ton, unless he is equally in favor of
the people in each County electing
their County officers and controlling
their County affairs.
How could a greater outrage be
done the State of North Carolina by
the Federal government than the
Democratic party has done to Coun-
ties in the State when they have
robbed the people Of those Counties
the right to elect their own officers
and to regulate their own affairs?

The Republican State Committee
Of Ohio last week gave Judge Taft
an overwhelming endorsement for
President. 1t appears that the sem
timent of the people of the State is
even stronger for Judge Taft than
the vote in the committee. AS mat
tiers now look, unless the people can
prevail upon Roosevelt to accept an
other nomination, Judge Taft will
be the Republican nominee by an
overwhelming majority.

JUDGE pRI1cHaRp AND GOVERNOR
GLENN.

In certain quarters there has been
an unusual effort made to misrepre-
sent and discredit Judge Pritchard
and TO give undue praise and credit
TO Governor Glenn over the recent
rate controversy.
The CAUCASIAN was advocating
the establishment Of a Railroad
Commission and the regulation OF
the freight and passenger rates when
Governor Glenn was an attorney of
the Southern Railway, and opposing
the efforts of THE CAUCASIAN and
others who were trying to bring the
Public Service Corporation Of the
State under proper State control and
regulation. 1t is understood that
when Governor Glenn was elected
Governor that he had the support OF
the Southern Railway and other cor
pOratiuns. However, we are glad TO
see that he is now taking the stand
that his oath of Office and duty re-
auire him to do, with reference to
the enforcement of the State laws
on the subject.
While the sympathies of THI
CAUCASIAN were not with Judge
Pritchard in this matter, yet WE
have today as great respect for hi
integrity and his courage to do hi
duty as he sees it, whether popula
or not. Judge Pritchard knew i
would be more popular for him t
have refused to issue the injunction
and yet, when he felt that it was hi
duty to do 80, he acted then as h
has always acted in the past, face'
the situation and did what b
thought was right, regardless
whether it would be popular or no
The CAUCASIAN greatly regret
this temporary clash between tn
State and Federal authority, and W
and all good citizens of the State r.
iOice that the matter has been s
adjusted as to reach final decisiO
in peaceable and orderly way.
