LEXINGTON KY, Sept, s.-Although
the officials OF the Buriey Tobacco So
ciety decline 10 affirm or deny the re-
port that the remaining 11S. o00, zoo
pounds Of tobacco in the 1903 pool had
been sold to the American Tobacco
Company, IL is understood that the
deal. which has been pending for the
past two weeks, has been eonsummat-
ed
The reason. 1t Is said, that the Of
ficfals are holding back the news OF the
sale OF the pool is to be able to have
sufficient money on hand to pay Off the
growers on the delivery OF the tobacco.
For nearly two years the growers
have had their crops tied up without
being able 10 get but about one-fourrh
OF the value of the crop through the
warehouse receipts of the Burnley socio-
ty. Many of the small banks through
out the state have loaned to a constd-
cradle extent on these receipts. and as
the consequence have been calling for
ala from their correspondents IN the
cities
The sale of the pool means that s21.-
100000 will be received by the growers.

{ NEW SoBk, jung Il; iTo show by
their enthusiasm that the panic days
are past and to sdoom business to
greater proportions, thousands Of
members of the, eUnited Commercial
Travellers Association are gathering
to-day at Manhattan Beach for pros
perity parade and celebration. Her.
man A. Metz former controller of New
York, is at the head Of the prosperity
movement, which has extended to the
trade drummers all over the East.
The chief feature of the celebration
will be grand parade through Broad
way, tomorrow, when fifteen hundred
men will march from the Battery
north through the financial and COM
mercial districts of the borough. This
evening, there will be a banquet in the
Manhattan Beach Hotel, where the
salesme1 will be addressed by men Of
national Importance. 4rs@
The flower OF the profession Of
salesmanship will attend the con.
gress," said Mr.. Metz, in discussing
the affair 'and 1 guess, we will show
the town that business conditions in
this country are good enough for any
one, for the travelling salesman is the
back bone Of commerce in this cen.
fury, and II he is satisfied there's no
room for any one else to kick. Re-
member that during the last panic the
power of the salesman was felt
through the nation as the result of the
organized effort of the men to restore
confidence. among the great and small
business interests of the nation.
II was in public life at that time,
and was in a position to understand
the benefit Of this quiet crusade. This
year we intend to show that the ma.
tional questions that have stirred the
minds Of the people for the last year
or more have had no direct depressing
effect on the commerce Of tie. country.
and that there is no Hal reason why
business should not be better than
ever, If the various elements OF the
nation will only look on the situation
fairly"

rAEREAL nArrLE,

Republicans must not forget that
iighting each other. is a very different
kind ot battle from fighting Demo
Gratis. Khen'Sthe primary battle is

ct IS VALID, then. viii come the tug of
war with the ancient political foe
which for years, domineered over the
Republicans;in this county and cheat
ed them out of elections time and
again These same Democrats are
now allied With the trump element for
purposes best known to themselves.
They know that in union there is
strength and in division there is
weaIsnessls They realize that so long
as Tie Republicans are at war with
each other theyahaye better chance
again gain the ascendency and that
this il d good year to get control.
With one member Of. the county court
ready to do the bidding of the Demo
cratic leaders and with a chance to
ret another they are more than con-
tent. The foes Of tax reform and the
corporation serving politicians are
looking forward to placing three cor
poEation men from this county in the
House of Delegates. There is much
more al stake IN, the primaries this
week than many unthinking Republi-
cans are aware Of: The settled poll

would be no laughing matter II. the
r Pl9oTell.Flenfng candidates should be
declared the Republican nominees and
the Democrats get similar corpora
ton lineup. If both parties should
get corporation candidates on the tick
etsthere would be no chance for the
people to get a representative in the
legislature. Tie battle for the peo-
pie can only be won by getting the
proper men nominated on the Repub-
lican ticket. This thought is worth
pondering over. II it is disregarded.

When the Democrats assail our can

are over we shall be sorry if We have
failed to put our best man in the field.
Every Republican has a right to exr
press his preference on the candidates
for Congress by going to the primary
on Saturday and voting. A vote in the
rump primary on Friday will not count
in the race for the congressional nom!

STOLE FROM NECESSITY
A Stranger Took Trousers From Tailor Shop Because He Needed Them
 Fined Sl0 and Costs.

Friday afternoon P. J. Car ran, who is a stranger here, walked into John Pfinning's tail- or shop and picked up a pair of trousers. He was about half way down stairs when Filming, who had been talking to a friend on the street, started up stairs and met him.
 The man gave up the property without any trouble aud MT. P6nning let him go. Later he told Chief of Police Joplin about the affair and he soon had the man under arrest. When taken before Police Judge Alexander he was fined Sl0 and costs, a to- tai of $l3.30, which he could not pay, so was put to work on the streets. His excuse for stealing trousers was that he needed them, and his appearance verified the plea. Before he is released he probably will be provided with another pair.

Man Held for Cutting in Stilwell Park Bound Oyer to Grand Jury
 Victims are improving.

Richard Doran, who was ar. rested for the cutting of Oar Williams in Stilwell Park or Sunday March l3, was given hi: preliminary hearing Thursday afternoon before Squire s. H. Smith. He was charged with as sault with intent to kill.
 After hearing the evidence of the injured man, Billy French, who was also badly cut and Clar. euce French, brother of Billy, it was very evident that Doran was the man who did the cutting. He was drunk when he did is and claims to know nothing about it. He was bound over to the grand jury under bond of $500 which he was unable to get.
 Williams is still tar from being well and during the examination became so weak that doctor was called. He was assisted to his room. French, who was not as badly cut as Williams, is doing nicely, though not yet we'll. The man who cut him has never been caught.

STOLE GRIP FROM HOTEL
William Taylor Took From Room of Stove Agent-Held On Grand
 Larceny Charge.

William Taylor, a stranger ia Mena, was arrested Friday night by Deputy Sheriff Ben Gipson and Nightwatchman Ali Walker, for entering the room of ]. o. Duke at the Dickson Hotel and taking grip containing among other things, $324 in notes, and a Win chester rifle. When taken before Justice of the Peace s. H. Smith, charged with grand larceny, he waived examination and was bound over to the grand jury. He was unable to get his bond of $500, so was committed to jail. He said that he was drunk and did not know that be was taking anything that did not belong to him. He was sitting under a tree on Stilwell Hill when arrest ed and was starting to open up the valise.
 The fact that he picked out the valise that contained the most valuable things, was somewhat against him.
 Mir. Duke is the agent of the Range Stove Company of Fort Worth, Tex. He has been Tn the county for several weeks selling stoves.

Chicago. Mar. 23.-Peace is assured in the controversy between the 32'OUV locomotive firemen of 49 western rall- roads and the general managers. Ihe result is a most effectual result Of the Erdman act, which provides that the chairman of the interstate com merce commission and the commits sioner of labor shall act as mediatoFs in all disputes where the public will be inconvenienced by stoppage Of in' terstate commerce.
 After nearly five days of pleading by the mediators basis of settlement was reached that assures a settlement. This was not accomplished without a struggle but the general managers and fremen were told, according to their statements, that something should be done to end the controversy and that unless either side made some con sessions they might as well break of negotiations. The following basis of settlement was then proposed and accepted by the general managers and afterwards tentatively by the fTemen.
 That the request for an increase Of about 13 per cent in wages be arbi' trated. That a settlement of the two rules governing seniority and repre- sentation be disposed of outside of the arbitration proceedings on the follow. ing lines.
 Seniority-There shall be uniform promotion rule for the whole country. for locomotive fremen that can not be juggled. Those promoted will not be disturbed in their position. The ques- ion of representation, which means that any member of the brotherhood of locomotive fremen and eiginelnen with a grievance shall select his repre- sentative before the general man agers, shall remain in statu quo. This means that satisfactory settlement will be reached in the future between the railroad officials and firemen.
 These recommendations of the mediators were accepted by the gener- al managers and firemen. The latter, however. made one condition. This was that the details should first be :orked out satisfactorily. This will be done in conferences to be held later. It may require two or three days to settle this question, but it is ex- pected that the firemen and general managers will be able to get together soon and adjust all differences.
 The outcome of the work of the nnediators was apparently satisfactory to the firemen and railroad officials.
 So far as the wage question is con cerned, the flremen are anxious to get more money. The seniority proposi- ton is serious one but the plan pro posed by the mediators appeared to be satisfactory. The hremen met and discussed the proposition until mid night. The former evidence of a di- vision fin the committee were lacking The settlement means that 40,000.000 people west of Chicago will not be af tected by a gigantic strike. The loco motive firemen involved in the con- troyersy are employed on all lines west of a line drawn from Duluth thrnueh Chicago to New Orleans
