James Sullepgcr, an aged citizen
OF the lrma vicinity, nearing the
three score and ten years allotted to
mao, was cruelty murdered, at his
stable when he returned Friday night
from Lola, in Livingston comfy,
where be had been on a business
trip. His death was brought about
by q blow in the forehead with some
blunt instrument which probably
killed MIN the first stroke, cutting a
deep cash and crushing the skull.
The body which was then strapped,
with pillow lines on to pole OF sassA'
fras which had been in his barn FOR
a quarter Of q century, vas then car
ned 10 a cistern at the old Irma
school house, which is nov abandon
ed, and thrown into II, after two
planks we're prired up to permit the
body to FALL through. The pieces OF
rope which bound the body to the
pole we're found in the e,ssern and
the pole bcsmeared with blood "a.
fou nd far under the school house, q
few drops Of blood here and there
told the story OF the awful crime.
The pole was readily recognized .,
having been taken from the barn and
also the pillow lines. Marks on the
plsnks over the cistern showed plain.
~ where they we're prired of to
make an opening. Blood on the els.
tern arch running down to the
ground was the cause Of the old
cistern being dragged for the body.
The last seen Of Mr.. Sullenger
alive was about 7:25 p. m, Friday
evening riding toward his home from
Lola and about one and oue-hal!
miles from home. The family retir-
ed early and while his wife felt some
uneasiness quite naturally, no search
or inquiry was made until morning,
when a telephone message to Lola
revealed the fact that be left there
before dark and should have reached
home about eight O'Clock p. m.
This alarmed the family and the
neighbors were notified and a search
instituted with the result that hi.

R. |. Barnett Declares Statement that Farmers
Union Agreed to Handle No Tobacco For
Two Years Strictly False.
Farmers Union viii Handle all Farmers Union Men To.
bacco Grown, Not Being Pledged to the Association
or Other Organization.

this end Notwithstanding the SEEM
ing selfishness of the Association
officials to ignore the real farmers,
who actually grow tobacco.
The Farmers Union officials and
members did pass and act, to allow
all Farmers Union members to place
their tobacco wherever it was to their
best interest, where the Union had
no Institution or means Of handling
of Farmers Union tobacco, and the
same resolution carried with . clause,
requesting that no Farmer or Far
mers' Union man sign any pledge
or contract for more than one year.
This idea being based upon . logical
point Of reasoning, that the same sys.
tenn Of management, that will sell to-
bacco for this year will sell it again
another year. Then why should any
organization ask any farmer to sign
any contract for more than one year2
II any member Of the farmers Union
who has not already pledged his to.
bacco to the Farmers Union, or the
Association, may have, and does
have, the right, where the Union
can not handle the Union tobacco,
to pledge his tobacco to the associa-
ton, or any other organization where
his interest is best protected, until
the Union is prepared to handle Far
mers' Union tobacco, but l pause
hare to say that the Farmers Union
will handle all Farmers Uuion to-
bacco grown in Kentucky that the
members Of the Union desire that the
Union shall handle. And that the
Union will have all Necessary arrange
ments for the handling and selling
all Union tobacco on its merits raised
during the year Of 1908. And As
for the sale Of the Union tobacco
recently sold sold, l refer ell parties
doubling the satisfaction of the peo-
pie who sold tobacco, to the people
who raised and sold the tobacco and
who now have every dollar for their
tobacco in their pockets. that their
creditors have not received since the
sale. And as to the prrtles to whom
We sold, | am sure our people receiv-
ed fair treatment and appreciate the
same very hugely.
For any Further information re-
garding the tobacco sale, refer the
public to the Union People in the
Pool, and also to the buyer. Mr..
Hanks, whom We have found to be q
gentleman in all Of our dealings.
Respectfully submitted,
r. l.. BARNETT.

| regret that it has become nee
essary for me to correct some false
that | have been Informed
has been circulated by certain Asso-
citation Leaders, with reference to the
action Of the Farmers Union in the
handling of tobacco grown during
this year Of 1908.
The statement is to the effect that
the Union has agreed to not
handle tobacco for the next two
years. Now be it forever under
stood that no such an agreement was
ever made between the Union and the
Association or any other organization
or individual whatever, but such
statements are strictly false. and in.
tended to mislead the grower Of tobac-
CO, but to the contrary, the Farmers
Union does intend, and will handle
all tobacco grown by Farmers Union
men not pledged to the Association
or any other organization.
Again / have been creditably in
formed that the Union members who
we're in the Farmers Union Tobacco
sale, which was consumated by the
committee, Of which was chairman,
consisting Of about $50, 900 pounds
Of tobacco. is also very unsatisfactory
to the member in that Pool. / wish
to state as chairman Of the sale com.
mittee, that such statements are ut.
terly false, and if there was any man
in that Pool who was not pleased
with that sale, it was some one
whose name was overlooked, and did
not get in the sale and get the bene-
fits Of the price paid those in the
bool.
l further state that such state.
ments are made by designing parties
% hurt the Union and to further a
condition that the people will not
stand for. The conference of the
Farmers Union held on the l4th
inst. to which the Tobacco Associa.
ton officials we're invited was intend
ed to get a unanimous agreement be-
tween the 800 organizations, where
by, prices on tobacco could be es,ab-
lshed and maintained by a joint and
unanimous action on the part of both
organizations. But since it was the
part of the Association officials to ig-
more any unity Of action in setting
and maintaining Of prices on tobacco
the Union like the Association. is
not bound by any agreement or other
wise 20 support any system except
that, that is the best interest TO ev-

The Washington Herald (Rep.,

The Washington Herald (Rep.)
says: "Bryan's third nomination is,
in any aspect, n momentuous thing
which testifles to pervasive influence
which it would be folly to ignore.
Bryan il not to be disposed of by
calling him charlatan and an adj
venturer. He has not lifted himself
by his own boot-straps. He has
been borne aloft by a great wave Of
discomfort and desire for radical
changes, which has swept over n
large part of the country. No intel
ligent survey of the nations defenses
against Organism can blind the truth
that they have been greatly weak
ened during the past four years. A
party that has appropriated Bryan's
ideas cannot, with good effect, at
tack his person"

Railroad Talk, Like Dream.

1t is almost impossible to read of
the possible changes and proposals in
railway building, which are being
outlined for Colorado, through the
new Harriman-Gould deal, without
feeling that we are dreaming.
The next few years will see Won
derful changes being made in Colo
RADIO railroading. Places that have
been almost inaccessible for years,
will be brought in close touch with
one another, through the ramifica-
lions of railway development. To
those of us who have lived for many
years in considerable isolation in the
extreme western part of the state,
the program mapped out will give
the highest satisfaction.
We shall not expect that all the
proposed extensions and new roads
will be built in year or two years,
but we believe that every line pro-
posed will eventually be built.
When we stop to consider that our
state has Il population Of slightly
over half million and the vast room
for development, there is nothing
extraordinary in the fact that rail-
roads see the possibilities of a great
population and of intense develop
ment in those sections of the state
that have been far removed from
trade and commerce and that their
proposal to bring them within the
pale Of wonderful development, is
not unwise or even to be considered
with any great surprise. = Grand
Junction Sentinel.
