NIGHT RIDERS OPERATIONS
Extend Their Field to Lancaster
County, Pa, and Burn Sheds.


OXFORD, Pa, March aS-Seven inn
mense tobacco sheds burned this year.

convinced the tobacco raisers OF lower
Lancaster county that the night riders
of Kentucky have extended their opera
lions into this territory. and that a night
to the finish is on. In the domestic tobac.
CO war against the trust. the Lancaster
field is most powerful factor in favor
Of the trusts, because many Of the tobac-
co raisers are Dunkards and refuse to
form any agreement whatever as to price
They insist upon selling whenever 1t
suits them. and by some tobacco men Al
is held that they do more than any other
agency to thwart the efforts Of the Ken

price for their commodity. All the VIC

cannot be imagined that the fires were
the outcome of personal enmity. They
carry no insurance and never go to law
about anything. SO that the firing of their
barns was a comparatively safe under
taking.
For some time strangers have been
noticed in the vicinity of the various
fires and this lends color to the theory
that the Kentucky raiders are at the bot
tom of the trouble. Wednesday night

In both cases every evidence points TO
incendiary origin.
Outside of the Dunkards. who take
everything as a matter of course, there
Is considerable unrest among the tobac-
co raisers. and there is talk of forming
an organization to run down the incendi-
aries. They will not permit any such
war as is now going on in the south to
get foothold here. and II will go hard
with the night riders if they are als-
covered.

BANKERS AT MEETING
FRANK A. VANDERBILT GUEST
OF LOCAL ASSOCIATION.

The Bankers Association of the District
of Columbia held a meeting last evening
at Rausoher's. Frank A. Vanderlip. for
mer assistant secretary of the Treasury.
was the principal guest. Currency leeas-
iation was the main topic discussed, and
1t was also the subject Of addresses by
Mr. vanderlip and Representative Hill.
Mr.. Vanderlip said he favored the estab-
lishment Of central reserve bank. He
added that he thinks 1t wise to have
special examiner representing the clear
ing house. He pointed to the manner in
which this was tried in Chicago during
the recent panic. when the stringency was
easily COPIED with in that CITY,
Mr.. Vanderlip further said that the rail-
road interests of the west felt greatly de-
pressed because of the unprecedented
falling of in traflc. both freight and pas
senger. He pointed out also. that the
labor problem was proving serious men
ace to railroad development. He ex-
pressed doubt as to the wisdom of enact
ing emergency currency legislation.
Views Of representative Hill.
In his address Representative Hill op-
posed the Aldrich financial measure now
before Congress. and said that it was
ridiculous in many Of its essential fea-
lures. He said the fundamental feature
Of safe banking is the gold reserve He
declared there was a heavy deficit in the
Treasury now. To adopt a system OF
money imitation he said, would be exceed
ingly dangerous to the business interests
OF this country.
William Barret Ridgely. controller
of the currency, who Is leaving Wash
ington to accept the presidency Of a
Kansas City financial institution, was
called on by President Cox. Mr.. Ridsely
took occasion to express his gratitude for
having been associated with those pres
ent during his six years Of official serv-
ice. He was given a hearty reception.
Mr.. Ridgely said he did not know how
soon he would leave the city, but he took
occasion to bid every one present good
bye.
Oppose the Plan.
1t was remarked that the meeting last
local bankers have taken up the discus
sion Of the clearing house examiner
question. The consensus of opinion was
that Washington bankers are opposed to
the plan. for the reason that If such An
official should sever his connection with
the clearing house to later accept off,
cial place In a bank he would have at
his finger tips the secrets of almost every
banking institution in the country, which
knowledge might thereby be used for
selfish purposes.
President Cox addressed the members
of the association relative to the plan to
erect monument to Alexander Hamil-
ton. The association approved the plan
and expressed a desire to lend financial
support TO the movement.

BIG BOOM IN SHOPPING
is ABOUT TO BEGIN
To AmeriCuS the Shoppers
Are Coming.

Americus will be the Mecca this

have a few fills" tomake-and other
thousands who invariably put of
buying until the last few days before
Christmas, when the stores are jam

The week-the last before Christ

terday. Despite the drear cold wea-
ther hundreds of people, many from
other towns, were buying here.
1t was easy to identify them; there
We're numerous visitors from the
nearby towns, and they could be
spotted by the numerous packages of
easily discernible Christmas shapes as
they hurried to catch the outgoing
trains. Moreover the merchants tes-
titled to a very good day.
With but little more than a week
before the rush days preceding the
Christmas holidays the merchants are
preparing for business during this
week. Extra clerks have been en-
gagged and the real holiday shopping
will begin early in the week and con-
tinue up to the night before Christ

The fact that the numerous "cut
price sales" are still on at many of
the leading stores in Americus is of
advantage to buyers coming here
from other towns.
For they get new, desirable goods
at just half value.
