SITUATION OF BRACK-
ENRIDGE GROWERS.
John E. Monarch Says Primers
Will Stand Together. But
Sell When They See Fit.

John E. Monarch, formerly secre-
tary of the Daviess county union of
the American Society of Equity in
discussing the situation in Breck-
enridge county, said: The or
ganization sentiment is stronger
much stronger-than is has ever been
before, but there has been a decided
change of front. The tobacco growers
of Breckenridge county came to the
conclusion that they were not getting
proper results from the Louisville War
house system of storage and finance.
In other words, they thought that
they were not being fairly treated by
those who managed the affairs of the
organization.
When they had reached this con-
clusion, they then determined to
sell their tobacco direct to the buy
are, but to sell as a unit. They aban-
doned the scraps of the 1905 and
1906 crops to the tender mercies
of those having them in charge, and
proceeded TO sell the 1907 crop. They
made this sale AT good prices, got
the money without waiting and are
satisfied with the result. They will
stand together this year, and all the
rest of the yearsin my opinion but
will reserve The right TO sell their
tobacco as they see fiji"

ganiza ion. 1t is charged (and | know
thai 1t is true i'll some cases. that the
Trust Offered inducements 20 them so
S ay out by agreeing to buy their TO-
bacco first at greatly enhanced prices,
and giving some leading farmers big
wages TO buy for them. There was to-
bacco enough KEEP out of the Associa-
tion in this way 10 largely supply The
Trust, and they would MOI buy pool
ed tobacco as long as they could help
it. SO you see chat The farmers hem
selves were partly the cause Of the
trouble, by not sall going into the AS
ISOLATION. Ii was lfnwise in thenG not
TO do so, for they could get an adj
vance of about as much on their tobac
co when delivered at the pooling hous
as IL was selling for before the AS
sociaIion was formed.
This unhappy procedure brought
abDsiL trouble in neighborhoods and
counties. First they got TO destroy
ms 'flOu Olh'lp plttsil DtuS, lilcI W
beating down crops in the fields, then
burning farm tobacco barns, and fl
rally 10 the deslrution of large ware
houcses in towns and cities. We are
now in the midst of that, and no one
knows where Il will end.
These men fear neither law nor
death when liberty is at stake. II
seems TO me that the best timing thai
Gov. Wilson could do would be to
treat the American Tobacco Co. like
Texas did the Standard OIL Co., put
them out of the State. They both use
the same tactics TO destroy competi-
ton. About the frs. thing that Gov.
Wilson said about the trouble was
find cause and remove H." The cause
is plain. Why don't he remove il?
Do you remember how We stopped the
toll-gatc raiders a few years ago? Re-
move the cause.

his own store.

his own store.
For six solid months he did not dare
leave the arsenaled rooms of his gen
eral store, eating, sleeping and spend
ing his entire time within its brick
walls. He did notdare visit his own
residence adjoining his store, lest he be
assassinated. few times he had oc-
casion 10 leave Jackson. and was then
escorted TO the railway station by a
heavily armed guard.
"A few newspaper men had dared to
invade Jackson to investigate the
Cockrill and Cox murders, but they
were treated so cordially by Hargis
and surrounded so continually by the
element of personal danger that they
were glad enough to leave the crime
ridden town without attaching too
much suspicion to any clique.
Finally, Marcum was assassinated
just as he had predicted a score of
times he would be. For printing these
predictions several newspapers were
sued and indicted for criminal libel,
but the cases never went TO trial.
The whole world now knows how
Marcum had delayed the mo-
ment of his assassination by carry
ing his baby in his arms and by sur
rounding himself with the women
members of his family.
Despite these precautions he was
finally assassinated in the door of the
court house at o'clock one bright
May morning four years ago.
Jim Hargis and Ed Callahan, the
County Judge and the County Sheriff,
stood in the stores and watched the
murder as Curt Jet slipped up behind
tie hated lawyer and fired two shots
into his brain. Hargis' money was un
able to clear Jet, Jim Hargis nephew
of the crime, and he was sentenced
to life imprisonment, as was alsoT ON
White.
Hargis, his brother Alex. Hargis;
Ed Callahan and some others were
indicted TWO years later for this
murder. Jim Hargis and Ed Callahan
were acquitted in Lee county under
rather peculiar circumstances. Jim
Marcum was tie uncle of Mrs. Alex.
Hargis.
Hargis paid the expenses of the de-
Tense OF Tom White and Curt Jet in
their two trials; paid the expenses Of
large number of witnessey who We're
afterward indicted on charge of sub
ornation of perjury growing out of
those trials.

IS. The wise man endeavors

ness. The wise man endeavors
to avoid both extremes, praying
the old prayer, ''Give me neither
riches nor poverty"
The rich man does not neces-
sarily enjoy a rational living
more than his neighbor who has
a mere competence. We can
wear only so much, we can eat
only so much and enjoy good
health. Can not the man who
has mere competence have his
rational wants supplied? Any
thing beyond this is a burden to
bear, a burden which wears out
life. Hence, the Master said,
Blessed are ye poor," blessed
in comparison with the rich who
never know when they have en-
ough.
In Darke county we have no
millionaires, but have we not
known greedy land owners who
add farm to farm until they be-
come land poor? Are they as
we'll off as the man who owns
one farm, manages it wisely, and
is content? We trow not.
The plea is often made that we
must provide for the children.
And this is all right within Ger.
tain bounds, but too much pro-
vision of that sort turns out a
bane rather than a blessing.
Had Harry Thaw been a poor lad
he had been better off. He might
have been a useful man in some
association, and not a pleasure
seeker and murderer.
Solomon tells us, "A poor man
is better than a liar," suggesting
the idea that a poor man is more
likely to be in harmony with
truth than the rich. The man
who owns his millions may be a
true man in spite Of his riches;
but he will have his temptations
to dishonesty more often than
the poor man.
We cast no reflections on the
man who tries to acquire COM
petence for his own comfort and
that of his family; but we have
little patience with men who toll
and moil to acquire wealth which
they have no use for. Better a
little with peace and contentment
than great riches with corroding
cares.
