WILL FIX PRICE OF 1907 CROP.

Winchester, Ky, Aug. 1.-THE
Burley Tobacco Society will hold an
important meeting here this after
noon. The principal subjects fol-
discussion will be that pertaining tC
placing the crop of 1907 on the
market. 1t is being rapidly packed
and will soon be ready for market. II
is estimated the crop will amount OF
20, 600 hogheads, and is of a much
higher grade than that of the previ-
Gus year. Some members wish to
put a much higher price, clsimi 2
that the law Of supply and demand
justltes so doing.
On the other hand, it is asserted
that the Burley Tobacco Society was
not organized to take advantage of a
situation to expect higher prices but
merely to secure for the grower fan
price for his crop. 1t will probably
be graded along the lines OF the pre-.
yious year, but of being better quail.
ity will make the average price
greater
Another thing to be considered al
this meeting is whether or Dot those
who have raised a crop in 1905 over
the protests of the society shall be al.
lowed to pool their crop or not.
II is said that many Of the grow
ers desire to enter the pool. 1t i.
also probable that some steps will be
taken relative to the future course OF
the society The fall of the year i;
nearly at hand when farmers make
contracts for the following year, and
it is desirable to know what to do.
Other questions relative to the fnanc'
ing of the crop will also be discussed

REASONS GIVEN BY CONDON FOR
NOT BUYING POOLED CROP.

Guthrie, KY, Aug. Sin a let
ter addressed to the Tobacco Planter
and published in that newspaper,
Martin j. Condor Of New York
president Of the American Snuff
Company, denies that his company
has taken any steps toward attacking
the Planters Protective Association
by RETAINING from buying tobacco
pooled with the organization.
The denial from Mr.. Condor came
as the result Of a statement appear
ing recently in the Tobacco Planter
that officials Of the association at
Guthrie were generally of the opin.
ION that the present slump in sales
Of dark tobacco was due to a precou
certed effort on the part of the buy
ers to break down the organization.
On this point Mr.. Condor says
We are buying now, aud have al
ways bought tobacco absolutely in
dependently and with no connection,
understanding, cooperation or agree
ment between us andany other buyer
Of tobacco. The reduction in our pur-
chsses at the present time Is not part
ef suyplsn to do anything embarrass
the dark tobacco planters organiza-
ton, but it is simply and only due
to thu fact that we have already on
hand a larger surplus Of tobacco suit
able for our needs than we usually
have, and as large a surplus as our
business warrnats US in carrying.
This condition naturally diminishes
our purchases for the time being
ana our action in this respect has
been without any agreement, under
standing, cooperation or consuta-
ton with any other buyer of tobacco
whatsoever.

LYDIA e. PINKHAM

Nature and a woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandcst
reaedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old fashioned days Of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia Z. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
oious than any combination ofdrugs.
Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of SIS NC. St,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
Complete restoration TO health

of other suffering women ! am willing

LAND SELLS At
$2,5oo PER acre

J. Dougherty, a prominent
banker of Norcator, Kan, and
son-in-law of J. II. Sayles of Pal
isade. has bought young 5-acre
peach orchard from J. s. Carson

The orchard lies on north Main
street of Palisade toward the
mountain. Mr.. Carson has an
other 5-acre tract for which he
asks $4,000 per acre. Several
buyers have been figuring with
him. Mr.. Dougherty has also
purchased 90 acres of apples
near Fruitvale for $500 per acre.
He will make his home in this

The damages in the condemnation
right of way case of Fannie Was
son VS.. Geo. E. Harris ct al, were
called into the court room by
Judge Shumate and questioned as
to the probability of verdict.
The judge was told that an agree
rnent seemed impossible. He sug-
gested that the six good men and
true partake of breakfast and
then make another effort to ar
rive at verdict.
About 9:3O the Judge again
sent for the jury but was inform
ed that the jury was about to
take another ballot. 1t was after
10 o'clock when an alarm was
sent to the bailiff, who was in
formed that a verdict had been
reached.
Judge Shumate was quickly in
his place and Foreman Barlow
handed him the verdict, which
was to the effect that the land ac-
tually taken for the roadway was
valued at $25, the damages at
S275 and the benefits at nothing.
This made the total damages
1900.
From this verdict Attorneys
Dollison for the petitioners and
Darrow for the respondents took
exceptions and gave formal no
tice of a motion for new trial.
although both attorneys admitted
that there would probably be no
further action.
The history of this case is a
long story. This is the third eff
fort of the Wassons to secure a
right of way through respond
ents' property. On a former oc-
casion commission was appoint
ed which awarded Mrs. Wasson a
right of way over another por-
tion of the rahch for $3.50. but
this did not seem satisfactory t.
the lady although it is said it was
Il shorter and better course than
that asked for in the present ac-
tion. 1t is estimated that the to-
tai cost to petitioners will be
from $1,000 to $500, while re-
spondents have lost in time and
attorneys fees over $500. all of
which illustrates the folly of liti-
CATION when it can be avoided.

This is Announcement Made
by Treasurer Of Company
in Grand Junction
CONFIDENCE RESTORED

Grand Junction, Mar. 5.-That
the Western Sugar and Land
company will retire at once the
$15O,O0O in scrip issued to the
beet growers during the financial
depression several months ago
was the statement made by j. II.
McKinnie, treasurer of the com
pany, last night.
An immense amount OF sugar
was stored to secure the scrip is
sued in default of actual money
and, though large amounts of the
scrip have been taken up from
time to time, the sugar has re-
mained intact. The amount i'll
money due the growers, together
with the interest, will be paid iii
cash at once.
The chief mission Of Messrs.
McKinnie and Davie to Grand
Junction was to request the re-
ceiver, w. S. Wallace, to order
all the scrip extant to be brought
in at once. This action on the
part of the sugar company is a
final proof that the effects Of the
financial panic have entirely van
ished. In conversation last night
Mr.. McKinnie said:
"The official call will be mail
ed the growers tomorrow and in
snort time we expect that the
entire amount will be in orr pos
session. There is probably AN
amount in excess of 100000 out
at the present time, but Mr.. Wai-
lace will begin Immediately to
gather it in.
