TABER DENIES

MERCHANTS THINK THERE IS ONE
Legislative Committee Concludes Its
Work and Adjourned.
Much of Interest Brought Out In Last
Days Testimony, But 1T acIked the
Intensity of Preceding Days
psap Session.
MERCHANTS THINK THERE IS ONE

Beginning with brief executive ses-
sion during which E, r. Taber, mana
ger of the Virginia. Carolina Chemical
company in Montgomery is supposed to
nave testified about his conversation
over the telephone with Lee Ashcraft,
OF Fiorencs. In regard to the state
ments L. l.. Long, of Jasper, accused
him of making, the Legislative Fertil-
izer and Cotton Seed Oil Mill Investigat-
ing Committee completed it's examina-
ton OF witnesses in one sitting yester-
day and adjourned to June A.
Besides Mr.. Taber, the witnesses ex-
amined were seven merchants and one
mixer, practically all of whom stated
that they received rebates and that
they believed in the existence of an
agreement among manufacturers and
dealers to fix prices
TWO witnesses testified that they had
been told By representatives of various
companies that there existed an agree
ment among some of the manufacture
ers.
Though much of interesting evidence
was brought out at yesterdays ses-
sion 1t lacked the intensity that had
marked previous meetings. Mr. Ia
ber's evidence. aside from what was
given in the executive session, was
heard with the closest attention by ey-
cry member of the Committee and he
was queStioHeu more widely, perhaps,
than any other witness, be ause he was
better informed upon general conditions
than any of those who preceded or sue
ceeded him upon the witness stand. But
upon the alleged trusts or agreement
his testimony was not startling.
He denied the existence of any COM
bination of fertilizer manufacturers to
fix prices and after relating at length
the method of organization of the
Southern Fertilizer Manufacturers AS
ISOLATION. he said the purpose of the AS
ISOLATION in raising funds was to adj
vertise the use of commercial fertf1iz-
ers and by other methods to encourage
farmers to use it,
What Mr.. Taber said in general to
the conversation he hal with Mr.. Ash
craft may only be conjectured. A
chance remark by member of the com
mittee indicated that ne talked with
Mr.. Ashcraft not because of anv IL
financial relationship between himself
and Mr.. Ashcraft. or between tbeir
companies. but merely to learn If Mr.
Ashcraft had made statements which
Mr.. Taber considered unusual, If moth
ing more.

Two Hundred Pickers Are Thrown

Because his hops are becoming af-

day morning discharged his 200 hop
rickers and decided to discontinue
picking.
Mr.. Schott has five year contract
for his hops, the contract being for
between IS and Is cents. At the
present time this contract is con-
sidered to be an exceptionally good
one, considering the fact that hop
prices have been SO low that t has

TO discontinue picking altogether.

PLUG HAT

ington state, entered the house cloak
room at Washington one day, and
was hanging his slouch hat on its
accustomed peg, when a brother
member from Pennsylvania entered
and gave his silk tile tenderly into
the keeping Of the cloak room porter
The Keystone statesman asked,
"Cushman, you never wear plug
hat, do you?"
A very peculiar and quizzical ex-
preston crept over Cushman's thin
facet would have been called a
blush If he had been a girl--as he
replied,
Say. nobody has been talking to
you about that, have they"
