May Loiter in Plainfeld.

A sensation was sprung in court at
Plainfield when Judge William n.
Runyon instructed the Police Depart
ment to disregard the ruling of the
Common Council against street loiter-
ing. He warned the police that ar
rests of taxpayers standing in the
streets of the business section would
be made at their own peril. Barnard
Tracey. who was accused of lettering,
was h~onorably discharged, Judge
Runyon saying: 81 regard the resolu.
ton pursuant to which this arrest
was made as peculiarly ill-timed,
even If it had merit. With so many
good citizens and workingmen out of
employment there is naturally a large
number of men to be seen about our
streets, and this resolution pretends
to deny to them in q certain the
right of liberty. The streets are ded-
Icated to the public, are public prop
erty, and any man has the right to
use them in any manner he may see
fit, so long as his use of them does
not in any way interfere with the
rights Of other citizens"

The Man of Prayer.

No words can describe the bless
ingness of a soul which lives in COM
munion with God; asking and receiv-
ing, seeking and finding, knocking
and having the door opened. wrote
Thomas Adam, over a century ago.
For what is happiness but this? Or
how can we describe it better than by
saying that a man wishes for the
very thing he sought and is sure to
have it? And such is the man of
prayer, the Christian. He chooses
the fountain of all happiness for his
portion, and can not be disappointed
of his desire. He is happy in the
very act of prayer, knowing it to be
the right frame of his mind, the proof
of his renewed state and his capacity
for receiving blessing from God.

PURCHASE OF TWO CROPS
MAY END TOBACCO WAR
Trust Said to Have Agreed With
Society of Equity.
s14,0OO,OO0 PAID FOR PRODUCT
Take 1906 Crop at Sixteen and 1907
Crop at Eighteen Cents, OH
Agreement That No Tobacco
Will Be Grown in 1908.

Cincinnati, Ohio.--The American
Tobacco Company has surrendered to
the Kentucky white hurley tobacco
planters; associated as the American
Society of Equity; which has been
waging a strenuous war upon the
trust for more than a year. 1t is said
in an unofficial report of the settle.
ment of the controversy between the
planters and the trust that the trust
has bought the pooled crops of 1906
and 1907 at prices far above those
dictated by the buying corporation at
the time of the split between them
and the planters. The total amount
to be paid for the tobacco that the as
ISOLATION has in warehouses aud
which 1t was holding, refusing to sell
at the prices offered, is s14, 1000, 600.
The prices to be paid for the 1906
crop is sixteen cents a pound, and for
the next years output eighteen cents.
In the settlement the planters decided
not to raise a crop this year.
h report, which comes from
members of the Planters Society and
has not yet been fully verified by the
other side, is discredited by many
conversant with the situation because
of the fact that the White Burley
Board of Control has heretofore
asked only fifteen cents a pound for
both the crop of 1906 and 1907. The
higher prices I explained by the
agreement to carry out the mo crop
for 1908" idea as part of the consid-
Grafton to the American Tobacco
Company. The agreement as report
ed only affects the White Burley dis
tricts, and has nc relation to the dark
tobacco districts in which most of the
night riding outrages have taken
place.
The light OF hurley tobacco district
covers fifty-fye counties in Ken
lucky, several in Ohio and two or
three in West Virginia. The region
in Kentucky is in the northern and
central part of the State. This dis
trict is the only place in the world
where this class Of tobacco is grown.
The weed is used in the manufacture
of the finer grades of both chewing
and smoking tobacco. The dark to-
bacco district embraces fourteen
counties in Western Kentucky and
several in Tennessee. The product
of this district is nearly all taken for
eXDOrt.
