FIGHTING A TRUST WITH TERRORISM.
Kentucky Tobacco Planters Have Started a Cooperative campai
End in a Great Feud.


which is doing the work. has about
261.000,000 pounds of tobacco in its
control. This represents sixty per
cent. of the 1906 crop and eighty-fve
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 beenfpaid for only
one-half of the tobacc5 they have put
in, and unless the society succeeds
there is bound to be a terrible slump.
Prof. ]. D. Clark, n of the lead
ing men in the society, who has just
returned from the meeting Of the
leading tobacco men Of the country at
Louisville, says:
First, it is proposed, to declare
the tobacco now controlled by the
society of the market, then to organ
ize a cooperative stock company for
the manufacture Of the tobacco on
hand and it's distribution direct to the
retail merchants. 1t is proposed to
capitalize this company at S10,000..
900 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 s5,000,-
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-
cial 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-
ent companies had about a years sup
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
is 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 fnanciers for money
they met the opposition Of the To-
bacco Trust, 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 mar
ket price, one-half in cash and the
other half in stock in the society,
with the further agreement that he
is to share in the profits realized.

Finds a Monkey Man.

An interesting discovery has been
made by the w%ell-known Heidelberg
scientist, Professor Klaatsch, who is
now pursuing anthropologieal stud
les in Australia. The professor says
that while examining some Austral-
asian natives arrested for killing a
white man in Port Arthur, he found
that one of the men. had feet and
hands Of exactly the same shape and
appearance as those If monkeys. The
natives, on his inquiries, stated that
In the hitherto unexplored regions
between the rivers DAILY and Victoria
numerous people have similar hands
and feet, and otherwise bear a strong
resemblance to large monkeys. This
Is the first time that these character
lstics have been discovered in a hui
man being.-London Daily Mail.

CLASH OF COURTS IS ACUTE
Threats of Armed Force in North
Carolina R. R. Row.
State Fines Railway 100000 and It's
Agent $50 Despite Injunction
Federal Judge Backs Down.

Asheville, N. C.-Virtual civil war
exists in the conflict between the
State and Federal courts over North
Cardinals new railway rate law.
State Judge Reynolds is threaten
ing to put Federal Judge Pritchard
in jail for contempt, the railroad in
terests are trying to force Judge
Pritchard to imprison Judge Rey-
nolds, Governor Glenn threatens to
call out the militia to resist such
action, and Judge Pritchard says he
will call on the President for the pro-
lection of Federal troops.
The present crisis was brought
about by the action of Federal Judge
Pritchard in signing writs Of habeas
corpus at 2 a. M, directing Sherln
Hunter to produce District Passen-
ger Agent J. H. Wood and Ticket
Agent o. G.. Wilson, Of the Southern
Railway, charged with disregarding
the new passenger rate law. Wood
and Wilson were convicted in police
court here, and are now under SEN
fences of thirty days each on the
chain gang, although out on bonds.
Judge Reynolds refused to honor
the habeas corpus writs, and held
the prisoners in the State courts.
1t was shown that Judge Reynolds
had threatened to put Judge Pritch-
ard in Jail for contempt for his inter-
ference with his court. Thereupon
the railroad lawyers appealed to
Pritchard to arrest Reynolds.
eff he tries that I will protect
Judge Reynolds with armed forces"
said Governor Glenn, "and call out
the militia"
I shall appeal to President Roose-
Welt for armed forces to protect me
and to enforce the rights of the Fed
eral Court" said Judge Pritchard.
The Southern Railway Company
was fined $4,000, and Thomas E.
Green, ticket agent Of the company,
fined SIS in the State Court at Ra-
leigh, thus adding further fuel to
the flame, for selling railroad tickets
at a rate in excess of that provided
by the new law for a uniform rate OF
two and one-fourth cents a mile in
North Carolina.
The court required Green to prom
Use not to sell tickets at the illegal
rate. Green made the promise and
paid the fine.
The Southern Railways attorneys,
fearing that a serious and possibly a
bloody situation might be precipi-
tated If United States Judge Pritch-
ard attempted to seize Ticket Agent
Green from the custody of State
Judge Long by means of a writ Of
habeas corpus, withdrew their de-
mand for such a writ, which would
have required the armed force of the
United States to serve, and allowed
Green to be tried and fined.

MEAT OR CEREALS
A Question of Interest to All Careful

Arguments on food are interest

THOSE SUDDEN TWINGES

Pain Is natures signal of distress, a
warning that must not be ignored.
These sharp twinges in the back. those
stabilize pains that follow any sudden
twist or turn. are simple signs OF hid
den danger in the kidneys.
No trouble starts more easily, gains
ground more rapidly. nor proves more
often fatal than any disorder Of the
kidneys. All the outward appearances
OF health may remain until n terrible
disease has taken root.
1t is best to learn the duties of the
kidneys. to watch for early signs or
trouble. and to correct any irregularity
before its serious stage begins.
The blood goes TO the kidneys in an
incessant stream. to be cleared of poi
son and relieved of surplus water. This
is passed Off by the kidneys in the
urine It is the retention Of poison in
kidney trouble that breeds fatal dis

Don't walt The moment you feel any
uneasiness. lameness or pain in the
back. the moment the urine shows

or in the quantity or number OF the
passages. begin with Doan's Kidney
Pills. This remedy has been curing kid
ney troubles for seventy-six years, and
never yet has failed to give relief. il
