Tobacco Here Has Been Weighed
Correctly and Everything is
Satisfactory.

Erecently sold to the independent buy
ers they are experiencing some trou-
BILE on account Of alleged shortage in
the weights and revenue agents are
now in the different. counties and
have the matter under investigation.
There has been no complaint made
on the weight ofsthe tobacco shipped
from this county and there win prob
ABLY be. none as every precautiQn
was taken to get the weights accurate
Lere. In most of the counties the
tobacco and the hogshead were
weighed together and a certain
amount knocked off for the weight
of the hogshead and this is what is
causing the trouble.
In this county no. tobacco was
weighed in the hogshead, the hogs
head was removed in every case and
nothing but the tobacco was put on
the scales and the hogshead was
weighed separately.

''fre case7 of the Montgomery Blue
Grass Seed Co and various insurance
companies against the c. & o. Rail-
road Company which has been on
trial in the Federal Court at Rich
mond for the past week, resulted in a
hung jury. The jury was discharged
by Judge Cochran at noon today and
stood nine for the plaintiffs and three
for the railroad. Mr.. j. M. Pickefel,
o fthis city was member of the firm
of the Blue Grass>Seed Company and
the fire which occurred in Mt.
Sterling on the morning of October
IA, 1905, was caused as claimed by
plaintiff by sparks thrown from an
engine belonging to the c. & o. Rail
road Company. All of the seed in
the warehouse was destroyed and
the insurance companies paid the full
amount of their policies, amounting
to .about $4,000 and then instituted
suit against the railroad, alleging
that the fire was caused by its care
lessness and negligence. The case
was one of the most bitterly fought
legal contest that has been tried in
the Federal Court for years and had
the same law. prevailed in the Federal
Court as does in the State Court, the
nine jurors could have made YER
dict. As it is the case will have to be
tried over in April. Uncle Sam is a
pretty good old fellow, but he should
follow the State law and adopt the
nine juror verdict in civil cases.
Plaintiffs asked for sec han instruc-
ton but defendant objected.
