The Ledger Appreciated

While the Ledger falls heir to lots of
abuse from those whose tempers are
ruffled and whose plans are disturbed
by its uncompromising attitude in
fighting local graft, the sentiment of
the true citizens is overwhelmingly
with it. Even were it not so, we
should continue in the same path, be
cause it is right, and for the best in
terest of the community. We fre-
quently meet with encouragement of
the practical kind, like the following.
Enclosed find check for S6 to send
each of the following persons one
years subscription for the Ledger.
Told them the good work you were do
ing for the taxpayers, and induced
them to subscribe for the Ledger"

Forced TO Quit

The new moving picture show, be-
longing to Richards of Angels Camp,
which started up in Sutter Creek. with
the intention of permanently locating
there, was compelled to quit, owing to
the unfavorabe conditions presented.
The three identified with the outfit
passed through jackson last Saturday
on their way to Calaveras county.
The handicap of $3.50 per night that
they were required to pay for license
while Ratio was allowed to run by the
free grace of the Amador county
authorities, was too much for them to
buck up against. They exhibited an
attachemnt for SIP levied against
them by the local electric light and
power company for electric power.

weeks, and of course the electric SER

poor opinion of the 'square deal" as
dealt out in Amador county.

Fire Causes Excitement

A fire that for a time, threatened
the home of VIM. j. Nettle, who re-
sides at "A Broadway, was discovered
last night and hastily extinguished by
a water bucket brigade. The blaze is
supposed to have started in a woodpile
in the rear of the building, and the
flame was eating its way along the
Joists between the weather boards and
the ceiling. Doors were torn off and
the interior of the home pretty badly
wrecked by use of picks and axes in
trying to discover the burning sec

BIG TOBACCO DEAL.
Green River Association Sells TO-.
100000 Pounds. Brings 50,
So and s..

Owensboro, KY, Nov. 2.-One Of the
largest tobacco deals ever consum-
mated in Western Kentucky was closed
TO-DAY in Owensboro, when the Green
River Tobacco Growers Association
disposed of practically 2O,0OO,OOO
pounds of dark tobacco, ranging in
prices of from SO to So for leaf and
Tugs and S. for all trash.
The purchase will amount to about
l,275, 900, and has oeen pending for
some time. A meeting has been called
of the growers for November II, at
which time the action at the board of
control will be ratified or rejected. If
1t is ratified the deliveries Of the weed
will begin on November Is The board
of control is of the opinion that the
price this year is an Improvement over
last years figures. The purchasers
are the American Tobacco Company,
Imperial Tobacco Company, James
Hodge, Richard O'Flynn, S. T, Burns
and the Gallaher, limited.
The American Tobacco Company is
the largest purchaser. 1t Is TO receive
nearly 10,0O0,OO0 pounds. Daviess
county is credited with having 10000
600 pounds pledged in the pool; Ohio
county 2,0O0,0O0 pounds; Mclean coun-
ty 100000 pounds; Hancock county
100000 pounds.
The Daviess county Burley growers
today also closed deal with the Amer
can Tobacco Company for the sale of
100000 pounds of Burnley at price of
$14 for leaf and lags and 81 for trash.
The district meeting of the Ameri-
can Society Of Equity was in session
behind closed doors in greensboro this
afternoon. The Equity Society some
time ago fixed the top price for leaf at
$40, but it is thought that a meeting
of the growers will be called at an
early date and they will recede from
the former action. The Home Ware
house Company, of Daviess county, and
the A. S. of E. control 1000, 600 pounds
of tobacco, and it is believed they will
close a deal within the next few days.
