GRAVE DANGER IS THREATENED

Special to Times Republican.


jefferson, Sept. 9.-What promises to
be one of the grave dangers here IN
local grain, lumber and coal business
to the local managers, Is the fact that
the farmers elevator company which
was recently organized, has formed q
trust among the farmers of this coun-
ty. who it is stated, viii do their buy
ing from their own coal bins. Henry
Tucker. manager for the farmers con-
Germ, stated recently that the farmers
were the ones whom trade is expected
the most from, and IL this is true, tho
other companies located here will UNI
doubtedly suffer The company Is
formed of the most prominent farmers
in Greene county and they are using
every means available to secure the CO.
operation of the rural districts. A fight
is being waged against the new COM
pany by the other dealers, who prom
ise to lower prices and in so doing Kill
the new concern. The new company
have. however. men back OF 1t who are
wealthy, and who are determined to
use every effort In getting trade. 1t has
been stated that a local trust has been
formed within the county among the
farmers. who will deal only thru the
farmers company, and fix prices as
they see fit.
II this report is true 1t will mean q
serious undertaking for the other grain
companies to buy and sell grain and
coal at prices given them by Chi
cago concerns If the new company
has thousand members back OF 1t,
sworn to buy and sell only by prices
fixed by their own company. tnde-
pendent Of the markets in the east,
and they in turn sell to concern
which is backed by farmers in some
other district, 1t Is obvious that the
plan is destined to be one Of the
strongest trusts in this country.
Turnout the state 1t is reported that
farmers are combining and forming a
trust. and that every small town and
hamlet is building farmers elevators.
This is true in the east In the larger
citnes, where before the prices were
fixed by Wall street. but now as soon
as the farmers get into power they
will buy and sell from prices fixed by
themselves.

s.. Gilgen, who reported to the police
Friday night that he had been robbed
by two negro women OF $40 In cash,
and $4,000 in certificates of deposit
was not touched at all, but had lost
his wallet. The wallet was found late
Saturday, quite distance from where

claimed was in it, but $s5 in money,
and all Of the certificates Of deposit
From all appearances the wallet had
not been touched.
B. f. {Fitz found the purse, which
was lying in the yard of Mrs. 4. S. Gill;

the purse Saturday morning, but did
not think much about 1t, altho ne did
what 1t contained later in the day. He,
