APPEAL OF FARMERS UNION.
People of Cotton Belt Urged to Hold
Their Cotton-Convention Ad-
journs-Urgent Plea for
Better Prices.

New Orleans. La, November 13.-'
With stirring appeal to every inter-
est. in the South-agricultural, finan-
cial and commercial cooperate in
holding cotton for higher prices, the
joint conference committee Of the Ma
tional Farmers Union and financial
interests of New Orleans. adjourned
today. The appeal is addressed to the
people Of the cotton belt and is as
follows:
''We, the joint committee Of the
National Farmers Union and Of the
financial and commercial interests Of
New Orleans realizing that conf
dence in cotton market conditions has
been impaired, and the apprehension
thereby engendered has caused more
rapid marketing Of cotton than has
ever been known, and believing that
the holding Of cotton at the present
time will permit the healthy assimila-
tion of temporary superabundance
and restore normal conditions under
which renumerative prices may be OBJ
tanned, hereby earnestly appeal to ev-
cry farmer, merchant and banker and
. other holders and owners Of cotton, to
hold back, so far as they can, their
present holdings and not sell unless
absolutely compelled to do so, un-
til the price of cotton shall have
reached a substantially increased fl
CURE.
"We especially request all .mer-
chants and bankers of the cotton belt
to extend the obligation Of the cotton
grower, when called upon to do 50,
for a reasonable period, and to do all
other things in their power to aid and
encourage such growers and holders
Of cotton, believing, as we do, that all
the business conditions Of the world,
especially Of the cotton world, stead
1ly polnA toward better prices than
now obtain.
"We believe that such concerted
and determined action will logically,
and in all probability, increase the
present inadequate price paid for
cotton.'
Committees were named to invest1-
gate the public ware house plan,
which calls for quasi public COM
mission, appointed by the State OF
Louisiana, to control the operation of
large ware house to be built on the
river front at New Orleans. The
proposed ware house is destined to
hold from 100000 to 100000 bales
of cotton.

DIsPENsARY ELECTION LEGAL.
Laurens Election Board Decides
Against Contention Of Rhett
Coleman-May Appeal.

Laurens, Nov. 12.-The dispen-
sary election held Tuesday Of last
week was this afternoon declared le-
gal and in accordance with require
ments. The official count showed $50
Evotes for sale and 1880 against sale.
As announced in a previous dis
tch, the election was contested by
orney G.. P. Sims of Spartanbu, :,
behalf Of Mr.. Rhett Coleman. pc.
TONER, but the allegations set forth
the petition were not sustained in
my particular. At the hearing to-
day, resumed from last Tuesday, a
number of witnesses were examined,
chiefly from among the managers O.
the election, together with Supervis-
or Humbert and Mr.. ". T. Crews,
summoned by the petitioner.
It appears from the testimony, and
was so argued by Mr.. Featherstone
for the respondent, that not single
allegation set forth in the petition
was substantiated by the testimony
introduced, not even that Mr.. Cole
man, the petitioner, was a qualified
elector and a taxpayer. Further, ev-
cry manager examined testified that
the law was complied with in every
detail, while the petition alleges
that there were numberless irregu-
larities. Mr.. Sims refused to make
any argument because all three men,
9 bers Of the board were not present
and left for home at 2 O'Clock, while
Mr.. rherstone's argument was
not maxi until 3 o'clock. Mr.. Sims
contended that the two members
present could not pass upon the mat
ter. TIE board ruled otherwise.
Some days ago Mr.. Sims stated that
he would carry the contest before the
State board, so it is presumed the
matter is not ended.

Rural Telephones.
Rome (Ga.) Tribune Herald.

Rome (Ga.) Tribune Herald.
The question Of rural telephone
communication has assumed large
proportions. The time has come for
the farmers to realize the great bene-
fits that would result to them by the
establishment Of rural telephone lines
that would put each in direct COM
munication not only with his neigh
bors, but with the nearest towns and
villages in his section. Rural tele-
phonic communication and the honey
combing of the rural districts with
trolley lines, will do a great deal to-
wards relieving the isolation that now
exists in an agricultural life and a
great deal towards making the lives
Of the farmers more pleasant and sat-
isfactorv. In addition to this by
keeping in close touch with the out
side world, the agricultural classes
will be able to enjoy many Of the
benefits Of city life. and at the same
time preserve to themselves the man.
fold advantages Of country life.
The matter OF rural telephones Is
being exploited in the magazines. and
its advantages are no longer expert
mental; actual practice has proved
that A trial in rural. communities soon
renders it a necessity. We are glad
to note that movement is on foot to
establish more rural telephone sys-
tens in this section. It is a most ad-
mirable movement and can hardly
fail to succeed if begun and operated
along proper lines.
Already there are many farms con-
nected with each other by telephone,
and with nearby cities, and wherever
tried it has proved successful. All
that is necessary to make our rural
telephone systems completely success
ful is to enlarge and perfect them 50
as to take in practically every village
community and farm house. Once
the farmer has tried a telephone III
his house, it is hardly probable that
he would consent to be without it. On
large plantations series Of tele-
phones would be of great advantage,

Scene OF MURDER
UNDER MARTIAL LAW.
GOV. PATTERSON is MAKING EVERY
EFFORT to PUNISH TENNESSEE
MURDERERS


MEMPHIS, Tenn, October 30
Tomorrow, with the converting OF
the court for Ohio county in special
session at Union City to investigate
the death Of Quentin Rankin, who
was killed by a "night-rider" band in
the vicinity of Reelfoot lake last
Monday night, that region will be
under the complete domination of
military rule.
Five companies of the State
National Guard will be at the
disposal of Col Tatom to enforce
martial law, and it is purposed to
gather in every member of the band.
To aid the militia, the adjoining
counties have been drawn on for
armed bands of picked men.
Should this this force be inadequate
to cope with the situation, it is
declared that the entire military
force of the State will be concen-
trated if necessary.
In the Reelfoot lake region, the
lake itself is the source of contention
which brought fourth the activity of
the night rider organization. 1t was
contended BY those living near the
lake that it was their right to ply
their vocation as fSherm en- III its
waters without molestation, while
the owner of the land on the shores
Of the lake took an opposite view.
In the courts the latter, the Western
Tennessee Land company, of which
Capt Rankin and Col r Z Taylor
of Trenton were the organizers, was
Upheld.
T1en ensued night-rider warnings
threa tening death to those who op-
posed the wishes of the members OF
the band. 1t was on the first visit
10 the lake region in many months
that Capt Rankin Was killed. Men
connected with or supporting the
landowners have beer forced to leave
their homes, and others, who re-
fused to obey the warnings, were
punished corporally. Notwith-
standing the efforts of the local
officers the depredations continued
for year. The situation became more
and more and more serious, until,
with the killing of Capt Rankin, it
proved necessary for the State
officers to act from Nashville. Two
companies of troops were sent for
ward the day following The lynch
ing and Gov Patterson went to the
scene to direct the work of ferreting
ont +be members of the mob.
Two other military companies
went from Memphis. Of number
of men arrested 10 are held and ii
is promised that when the grand
Jury is convened tomorrow sufficient
evidence will be furnished to bring
about the indictment of every mem
Der of the night-rider organization.
The court will be under the pro
lection of company of militia that
will be sent from Nashville TO-
morrow.
Governors of several States have
approved of a suggestion of Gov
Patterson that a conference of the
executives of the different States be
held and plans devised whereby they
can act in concert in an effort to
destroy night,rider organizations
Gov Noel of Mississippi, Gov
Pindall of Arkansas and Gov Wilson
of Kentucky have already expressed
themselves in approval of the pro.

NEWS NOTES.

Demand for BroiIers.-According to
Ralph Burch, of Burch Bros, poultry
dealers, this is the time to ship broil
ers, especially those ranging in weight
from a pound and a half up. The
market is firm on broilers at present
and the price good but the height of
the market has been reached and if
shipments are not made at once,
growers will realize poorer prices lat
er on. All poultry is bringing a good
average price for this season of the
year. Prices are firm and will prob
ably be well maintained for some time
unless unfore seen competitive price
cutting should demOralize conditions.
Dressed veal is moving freely, the
price having reached a level that ap-
peals to consumers. Shipments are
plentiful, but the demand is sufficient
to hold the price firm. Mr.. Burch
says that, owing to the falling off of
Eastern egg shipments, the price will
probably stiffen.
Dairy Products.-The Miller-Reed.
Pease Co. report favorable conditions
in the dairy-products market. Cream
Is bringing 25 cents butterfat, and the
butter market is firm at "a cents

| liven up what would otherwise be a
dull market on Western Avenue. 9th
er markets are not active at the pres
ent time, but the opening up of navi-
cation into the Tanana, the increas-
! ing trade with Southeastern Alaska
and the approach of the Nome season
have resulted in considerable market
activity. dealers making heavy pur-
chases in anticipation of this trade.
The apple market remains about
the same. The shipments into the
Tanana country and to Nome will be
heavy, which will serve to clean up
present supplies and will leave an
opening for further shipments from
the producing districts, but, on the
other hand, the arrival of strawber-
ries and other fresh produce will serve
to distract the consumers attention
consideration.
The potato market is still badly de-
moralized. Shipments continue to be
heavier than the demand warrants
and prices remain at low level. The
choicer, graded potatoes are moving
readily but these are almost impos-
sible to obtain.
The poultry market is at present in
firm condition, and brOilers are bring
ing fancy prices. Another fight be-
tween two Eastern shippers is threat
ened, however, which may serve to
run prices to a lower level again This
is the time to ship broilers, as later
on the price will drop considerably.
Strawberries are beginning to reach
the market from the early-producing
irrigated districts, and in about two
weeks will be coming in in quantities
from the Puget Sound country. A
good market is predicted for early ber-
RES, and the local crop is said to be
of good quality and quantity.
The veal market is fairly firm, both
the demand and the supply being good.
Veal has reached a lower level which
has served to stimulate consumption,
so that the trading being done is said
to be on very satisfactory basis.
The same may be said of dressed
hogs, the price being we'll maintained
in spite of liberal shipments.
Shipments of Eastern eggs are grow
ing lighter as the weather grows
warmer, and the prospects are that
| the market will stiffen during the next
week or ten days. Local production
is LIBERAL but is expected to decline
as the moulting season progresses.
With the decline of both Eastern ship
ments and production in local terri
tories, the price should grow consider
ably firmer.
