FEEDERS COMBINE TO
FORCE GROWERS
TO LOSE
Proposes That Sheep RdiSerS
Send Their Stock 10 Dem
YER Markets TO be
CAUSES PRESENT
DULL MARKET
1t Is Argued That Complying viii
This Proposition Would Cause
Growers 10 Lose Heavily
and They Intend to
Stand Against It

The sheep feeders of Colorado and
eastern states, who usually buy lambs
and feeders in New Mexico and Ari-
zona for feeding purposes, have come
forward to the sheep growers Of the
two territories with a proposition that
sounds very much like the PROPOSE
tion the spider made the fly when he
said, Come into my parlor and We
will eat some, you and l." The grow
ers were wary of the proposition and
have failed to bite up to date.
The proposition is that the growers
ship their sheep to Denver to be sold
by stock brokers to the feeders on
commission and TO be sold by weight
The proposition shows on the face of
1t that a combination has been made
between the feeders and the broke rs
against the growers. The shipping
of unsolicited stock to Denver would
place the growers wholly at the mercy
of the parties to the combination.
The feeders would select the tops Of
the shipments and the growers would
have to take whatever they were Of
fered for the culls or else ship them
back to the range, which could not
be done without great loss. The sheep
, growers realized this the moment the
proposition to ship to Denver was
made and as far as can be learned
the Denver market is without New
Mexico sheep. at least. 1t Is under
stood that the growers OF Arizona re-
allied the conditions, also, and they,
, too, have refused to ship any sheep
to Denver.
This condition of affairs Is the
cause for the present stagnation IN
! the movement of sheep, and II the
growers hold out It is believed that
/ feeders will soon appear ready to take
the stock off the range. The feeders
have the feed and they will not 60
! without the stock.
! The leading sheep growers of the
J territory say that II the Denver COM
: oination can be broken in its infancy
/ they believe they will not have any
| more trouble with It. but II once the
growers begin to ship to Denver or
/ consignment they may have to keel
| 1t up for all time. The details Of the
combination have been well circulated
! among the growers of New Mexico
! and the indications are now that the,
will stand pat on insisting that thu
feeders take the sheep off the range

Hitchcock and President Roosevelt et
Sycamore Hill 1t was developed that
the concensus of opinion was favor

present when Sherman stated the re-
suits of the conference and assented

which should be imposed and calls
upon the court to do so in case 1t
adheres to the view that Judge Lam
dis abused his discretion In imposing
so large a fine.
The petition concludes:
ut is therefore respectfully SUBJ
mitted:
That the opinion of this court is
based upon a misconoeption OF the
record with reference to the rulings
q the trial judge as to the admission
Of evidence tending to show want of
knowledge, and with reference to his
construction of the statute on that
subject, and the theory on which the
case was tried; that the evidence of
Bogardus which II Is claimed show
ed want of knowledge was admitted,
that it was overcome. however by
the facts and circumstances of the
case, and that the evidence as an en-
tirety as sufficient to show actual
knowledge, or what in law was its
equivalent;
THAT the Interpretation of the
statute by this court. imposing no
duty on the shipper and permitting
defense of ignorance to be made
! without regard to the negligence of
the shipper, is contrary to the Lam
! guage of the statute and to Its pur-
pose. and seriously impairs the effic-
iency of the act:
That the ruling stated In the opin-
ion as to the basis for determining
the number of offenses involves an
erroneous construction of the statute
| and fails to take into consideration
that the thing which is prohibited by
the act is the transportation of prop
erty at the unlawful rae;
THAT the criticism of the trial
judge for abuse of discretion rests
| upon a wrong assumption of what
the trial judge actually did and as
sumes that he attempted to try and
punish the Standard OIL company of
New Jersey, when in fact, as appears
from the record, the entire proceed
ings were directed against the de-
| fendant the Standard Oil Company
of Indiana;
"That the ruling stated in the
opinion to the effect that a fine is
excessive when It exceeds in amount
the ability of the defendant to pay Is
an innovation in criminal law and II
generally applied would prevent the
practical enforcement of most Grim.
inal statutes;
THAT, in short, the opinion as II
stands enormously states materia
portions of the record; does injustice
to the trial Judge; leaves doubtful
in a new trial the rule or law to bt
applied, both as to knowledge on The
: part of the shipper and as to the
number of offenses; appears to be II
: conflict with the language of the su
preme court and with the previous
} language Of the pIes.ding jwdge o.
this court, and with the great weigh
: of legal authority; and, II permitted
to remain unmodiied, will tend t.
encourage disobedience to law, I,
impede the enforcement of salutar!

purpose.
For the reasons stated we respect

GRADING OF new ROAD
BEGINS IN EARNEST
Buena Vista to Connect
With A. B. & A.

Americus' little neighbor, Buena
Vista, evidencing decidedly more en-
terprise than her larger sister in
the way of getting railroads, began
work yesterday upon the short line
which will connect that town with the
independent A. B. & A. system
1t is only seventeen miles from
Buena Vista to the ABB. & A, and
the plucky citizens of that town have
put up the $50O00,-to in
sure the building of the road.
1t is only twenty miles from Ameri-
Gus to the A. B. & A., and-lAmerlcus
sits supinely.
Citizens of Buena Vista here yester-
day stated that work upon the con-
Meeting link of seventeen miles had
begun, and that Marion's little capi-
tai would soon be in touch with the
outer world by new railway line
The Buena Vista extension will tap
the A. b. & A main line few miles
west of Oglethorpe. 1t will be com
pleted early in the new year.
The A. B. & A., it is suspected, con
templates still further extension of
this branch line. 1t is suggested that
it will be pushed on to Richland, on
the Seaboard and thence to Cuthbert,
where it Will connect with the new
G. F. & a. road
The Georgia, Florida & Alabama is
already completed to Carabelle, Fla,
and the A B. & A will thus secure
an outlet to the Gulf.

FOLLOW THE CROWD
TO ANSLEY'S SALE

Ansley's great sale is proving the
sensation of the city in commercial
lines. Yesterday showed no diminu-
ton in the eagerness of buyers to take
advantage of the ruthless cutting OF
prices. The store was crowded at
times and the remainder of the day it
was well filled. Passersby can testify
to the presence of throngs of shop
pers inside the store. Additional help
was engaged to wait on the custom
ers, but often buyers were compelled
to wait for their turn The opportu-
nifty to buy seasonable goods at such
prices has been irresistible. On yes
terday a number of customers from
other counties came in to get chance
at the bargain counter Shoppers rec
ognize the values they are getting for
their money, and hence are determin-
ed. once inside the store, to buy ey-
erything they need. It's risky to
take more money into the store than
one expects to spend, for the chances
are largely that the brake cannot be
put on in the presence of such tempt
ing offerings AS yet the store'c
huge stock seems almost untouched.

SOUTH TAXES HOPEFUL
VIEW OF THE FUTURE

WASHINGTON, Nov president
Finley, of the Southern Railway Com
pany, who has just returned to Wash
ington from an inspection trip of two
weeks over the lines of the system,
found evidences of Improvements in
business conditions and of general
disposition on the part of business
men throughout the South to take a
hopeful view of the future. Speaking
of the information he had gathered
on his trip, Mr. Finley said:
Prices for pig iron are firmer.
eSouthern furnaces, as a rule, have
sold their product up to the end of
the year, and the increasing number
of inquiries for iron warrant the ex-
pectation that orders will soon be
placed for business during the COM
ing year.
Lumber is more active than for
some months past Especially is this
true of the grades shipped in box
cars. The present demand will be
augmented by increased require
ments from railways, principally for
car repairs, as some of the railways
are contracting with car companies
for some of their heavier repair
work
''One of the most encouraging signs
of reviving industrial activity is the
increasing movement of steam coal
to industrial centers The unusually
warm weather of the present fall is
retarding the movement of domestic
coal.
The cotton crop is early, and the
fibre is moving to market in larger
volume than at this time last year,
although, as a result of the stagnation
which has prevailed in the cotton
goods market, prices are lower than a
year ago. The demand for cotton-seed
products is good and they are moving
freely.
The domestic market for cotton
goods shows indications of gradual
improvement. Owing to the accumu-
lations of large stocks and to other
causes affecting that market, there
is at present little demand for cotton
goods in northern China Aside from
this, the export demand is fairly good
and those mills interested in the
north of China trade are looking for
ward hopefully to a renewal of sales
| for that market
Grain traffic in the South-espec-
ialy corn-is light This is due, in
part, to the relatively high price OF
corn and the low price of cotton, and
in part to the fact that at this season
of the year the South is consuming
its own grain.
Merchandise stocks which had
been permitted to run low during the
