The buying movement is steadily com.
ing to close. Buyers are yet out gath.
ering in the scattering remnants and
probably will continue in the field until
the crop is lifted, but only small frac-
tion remains unsold and the volume oi
transactions of the week have materially
declined over the previous ones. Prices
show but little change; except for some
of the better lots of assorted goods, the
figures are still low. The following re-
cent sales show the range taken:

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

The prevailing complaint of growers
reg arding the low prices of tobacco this
season has prompted the inquiry as to
where the blame lies. 1t cannot be
charged that those growers who were
not adverse to putting labor to their crop
in preparing it to case, pack and hold it
il necessary have been able to obtain
reasonably fair figures for their tobacco.
One reason why so large per cent of
the crop was disposed of at bargain
prices was that growers held their to-
bacco in bundle until we'll into spring
when they had no time left to prepare it
for market and accepted the best offer
that came to them. An advantage OF
the situation was taken by the buyers
and after the ice was once broken and
the low price established the crop was
lifted before the farmer had an oppor-
tunity to calmly think over where his
mistake lay. In our opinion this system
of marketing the crop is all wrong. The
successful tobacco grower is one who, it
he cannot sell advantageously in the
bundle, will put his cropin cases and
await better conditions. He will not al
low himself to be pinched or needlessly
sacrifice his profits. The tobacco farm
ers themselves cannot escape a good
part of the blame for the sacrifices made
this season, however much they would
like to shift the responsibility. They
will be more to blame if they let it occur
again.

A bill to do away with the secrecy in
the holding by the so-called tobacco
trust of the stock of the subsidiary COM
panies was introduced in congress by
Representative Boutelle of Illinois. It
provides that on each package of manu-
factured tobacco and snuff shall appear
the name of the owner of the producing
plant, as we'll as the name of the pro-
ducer and the place and date of produc-
ton. Some years ago the Ways and
Means committee had under considera-
ton the Often Tawney anti coupon BILL
At that time we received great many
protests against the bill from SO called
independents, and gave them due con-
sideration. Later we discovered that
many of these so,called Independents
were really braches of the tobacco trust,
and we're masquerading. | do not say
that the same is true in regard to the
opponents of the present TaWney bill,
but I do think that all tobacco products
should be correctly labeled with the
name of the responsible producer. This
is in line with all the internal revenue
regulations applying to liquor, beer and
oleomargarine and in line with the pure
food bill. In other words, if the Ameri-
can Tobacco Co. owns factory or con-
trolling interest therein, its name should
appear on the tax-paid package as the
manufacturer.

An article purporting to give the real
cause of the tobacco war in Kentucky is
being published in the. local papers OF
this state under sanction of the Society
of Equity. The gist of the article is
defense of the crime, incendiarism and
outlawry practiced there under the
guise of night riding, as the following
paragraph will show
1.-THE men who are back of the So
called night riding, while deploring the
conditions, claim they have been forced
to take matters in their own hands be-
cause the laws give them no protection
tion against the trust. They are bright,
we'll educated, intelligent men of Ken
lucky, who under ordinary conditions
are it's most law abiding citizens For
several years they have tried to regulate
the trust, but without avail, so now they
are going to meet the trust on it's own
ground and regulate the price"
The writer cannot allow this matter to
pass without entering our protest against
the spread of such doctrine. The men in
terested in the Equity movement in this
state can in no manner aid their cause
by connecting themselves with the dis
semination of such literature. We be-
lieve the people of Wisconsin have too
great respect for law and order to fra
ternize even with those whose hands are
red with the blood of crime Isn't it
time to part company with such people,
rather than defend their disregard for
law and government?

RANDOLPH
Death of Mrs. clarissa Lamb Saturday
Night.

The death of Mrs Clarissa Lamb oc.
cured at the home of her dauhgter,
Mrs. Justin Holman, at ~ o'clock Sat,
urday night. Mrs. Lamb had long
suffered from the infrmities Of age and
a slight cold taken about two weeks
ago was the direct cause Of her death,
II is thought, as her strength was not
sufficient TO rally from it. Mrs. Clar-
issa Rice Lamb was the widow Of Al.
den Lamb of Granville who died in
August, 1872 and soon after her hus-
bands death she came TO Randolph and
daughter, Mrs. w. B. Wall. Two weeks
ago she went for short visit 10 Mrs.
Holman's and from that time has
steadily failed till the end came. DR..
ceased was IS years OF age last April,
and was one Of our oldest people. Six
daughters were born to Mr. and Mrs.
Lamb, three OF whom survive her. Mrs.
Justin Holman, at whose home her
death occurred, Mrs. w. b, Wall with
whom she has lived so many years and
Miss Sadie Lamb of Northheld, who
was also with her when she died. Mrs.
Lamb was for many years constant
and loyal member of the Baptist church
in this town, and It's interests were
ever dear to her. In her long years of
residence here she has formed many
friends who win cherish her memory
and strive to initiate the many graces
Of life and character sine so strongly
exhibited.
The funeral services were held from
the home Of Mrs. Holman on Monday
morning at 10 o'clock, and the inter-
mont will be in Granville. Rev. DR..
Cooper, a near neighbor of Mrs. Hol-
man, will ofliciate.
