TERRIBLE TOBACCO
WAR IN DARK DISTRICT
Independent Farmers OBJ.
jet of Attacks.

PRINCETON, KY, Dec. 27-(Spe-
ciaD Reports that the grand jury
was preparing to go vigorously after
the might riders" has caused large
exodus of members of this band
which has terrorized the tobacco belt
of this State and Tennessee for some
months.
When the fight started the sole
object of the tobacco growers was to
control the production of tobacco and
maintain prices Now the matter
has become so complicated that ev-
cry form of business is affected.
In the BLACK Patch" men are
afraid to express an opinion. No
man in the "Black Patch" feels safe.
No one knows when the Might Rid
ers" will swoop down upon him and
burn his property. Property worth
hundreds of thousands of dollars has
been destroyed as a result of the fight
of the tobacco Trust, and several lives
have been sacrificed.
By combining capital the buyers
were controlled and the counties We're
divided into districts, and agents for
the so-caIled Tobacco Trust were
named for these districts. The price
of tobacco came down to 3 IL cents
and the farmers say that tobacco can
not be grown for this price.

COUCH IS IN RAGE
 AGAINST PERUVIAN
CITY ELECTION WILL BE HELD TODAY AND IDENTITY OF THE
 RUMoRDED DARK HORSE IS MADE KNOWN, IN WooDLAWN.

Woodlawn's dark horse has been thor oughly whitewashed, and the person of J. P. Couch appears to face w. E. Per- lyman in the election to be held in Wood lawn today. Couch is an alderman under the present administration who has a strong following of friends. They held a quiet meeting last night in his interest and claim to have good chance to elect him.
 The entrance of this candidate at such late hour Is apt to bring a full vote to the polls, and at the same time the sen- timent of Woodlawn on Greater Brming- ham will be tested. It is generally be- lieved that Woowlawn will declare unan- imousy in favor of the greater city.
 There is no other opposition to the reg ular ticket except in the fourth ward, where T. F. Green is out against E. Y. Lawley. While Lawley has been a mem Der of the past board, Green Is the can didate of the administration. The oppo- stion rumored against J. B. Gibson failed to develop.
 The polls will be opened at an early hour this morning at the city hall, and the voting will probably continue lively all day,

 The Motor club is always willing to lend its assistance this subject not only IS to building and maintaining good roads, but in securing the necessary legislation that will aid the county officers in their efforts to give the people good roads.
 In addition to the subject of good roads, the Motor club will probably decide upon a site on which to erect club house, as the committee at the last meeting to inspect sites is ready to report with rec concentrations. This will be a very im- portant meeting and all of the club mem bers are urged to be present.

The city of Birmingham entertained the month of June. To be exact. the city had TAG boarders in all. 326 whites and 420 negroes, and there were about 200 arrests made and not recorded on the docket at the city wardens office. on account of the fact that the guilty. or mot guilty" parties made bond and were not taken to jail This runs the entire Lumber of case heard by Judge Feagin in the police court. to about 950. The month as a whole was not an ex- citing one In police circles While the number of arrests was large. very few of the offenses committed were serious, am the number of cases bound over from ths police court to the city courts was comparatively small.
 The docket for the month of June was headed by a drunk, and similar charges filled the larger part of the remaining space on the book Joy spreaders" were quite numerous, there being an average of about fourteen trunks each day, and the total number of those who appeared at the bar of justice, charged either with being drunk or dsorderly was 405.
 There were fourteen arrests made for the violation of the Sunday law, and when violators were caught most of them were, n the words of Judge Feagn dis pensing intoxicants with a gusto that would be bibulous to Monte Carlo" There were only one or two of those arrested on this charge who proved their inno- cence and escaped fines.
 Seven arrests were made for assault with irtent to murder and most of these were bound over to the criminal court. One arrest was made for murder the prisoner being apprehended for the sher- iff. and afterward placed in the county jail. One arrest was made for highway robbery.
 Another important feature of the months docket was the small number of arrests made for gaming.

They were caught Sunday morning at railroad camp on Eleventh street. No arrests were made in regular gambling houses. as no attempt as far as is known, was made to open them.
 There were se:en persons apprehended on warrants from the sherff's office.

To Establish City Hospital.

The next most important action was the adoption of resolution and the appoint ment of a committee looking to the es- tablishment of city hospital, and to in- vestigate the appropriation of county and city funds to sectarian purposes
 The Rev. II. P. Mccormick called at tention to the fact that 1t Is against the state law to subscribe county money to sectarian institutions, and he wanted he union to stop the continual subscription of money to St. Vincent's hospital. Tt ought to be stopped so that until the end of time no body of people can get their ecclesi- astical fingers into the treasury bag Of Jefferson county. The impression is abroad that St. Vincents hospital is in dulging in charity, which is not so. it is not charity to use county money for so- called charity purposes, and the 800 which the institution gets will twice pay for the care of the county's charity patients. It is against the law and should be stopped"
 pr. A. J. Dickinson expressed his ap- proval of the plan. and the committee was appointed consisting of the Rev. A. J. Dickinson, the Rev. A. R. Moore, the Rev. s. J. Foster.
 Legislators Are Introduced.
 The two legislators were then introduced and MT. King assured the pastors that his Greater Birmingham bill looks after the moral interest of the city. He said that In no section of the proposed addition in which liquor is not sold at present would there ever be a saloon.
 MT. Lovelady asked and secured the in- dorsement of the union for his bills pro- hibiting the sale of hop jack where liquor Is not already sold, and the promiscuous. indiscriminate prescription of liquor by physicians on Sunday. He would make it unlawful for a druggist to sell more than one-fourth of pint on Sunday, and would force him not only to keep record of the name and address of the person and the physician prescribing, but the disease for which the liquor is prescribed.
 He also said he is doing all possible to stop the promiscuous and infamous sale of cocaine and morphine, and might at some future time attack the sale of cigars and soda water on Sunday. He told them they would have to be shrewd politicians
