two games behind thb Lanks and
the lead may be easily overcome

Today Lancaster plays at Lima and
the Cigarmakers should take two

The club is fighting hard to win

county Judge and court officials noti-
fed Gov. Wilson that a special term
of court will be called to consider the
evidence brought out by the investiga-
ton and that extraordinary efforts
will be made to apprehend and punish
the guilty parties.
The most disturbing news of the
day, following, as it did, on the heels
of the Russelllville raid, was the fail
ure of the Burley Tobacco society and
the chief buyers for the American To
bacco company to agree regarding the
marketing Of the 1907 crop held by the
society. The parties met at Winches-
ter in accordance with the terms
of compromise agreement recently
brought about by Gov. Wilson. The
Burley men wanted the company to
buy $4,000 hogsheads Of tobacco from
them, while the buyers would agree
to take but 10000 hogsheads. The
Burley men consented to sell the
smaller amount. The tobacco had al
ready been inspected and graded. The
Burley men fixed minimum price of
Is cents pound. The company buy
ers refused to give more than IL
cents.
