MEEK WRITES ON
 TICK ERADICATION

| Gainesville August sO.-(Special.)- )-The
 following letter has been addressed by | J. NJ Meek to John A. Rogers:
 "Gainesvile, Ala, Aug. 2S, 1911 |" MT. J. A. Rogers.
 Dear John: As it will hs impossible
 for me to be in Livingston to appear in
 the called meeting l most especially re-
 quest that you cast vote for me every | opportunity presenting itself, that will
 aid in getting rid of the tick officers and
 the tick lacers if possible, or such steps
 leading up to dispensing with such off
 cers forever It is beyond question the
 most outrageous imposition on law abid-
 ing citizens I have ever known of.
 am 56 years of age, never lost cattle from ticks. I have a large family of children
 to furnish with milk. Have been forced by the officers to put the six fine Jersey
 COWS through vats every two weeks, re-
 sulting in ruin to my cows as to produc- ing butter and milk, reducing flesh on the cows, and each time having more
 ticks than to begin with, while they have access to a fine Burmuda pasture.
 Even in my absence I hope there
 may appear enough sensible cti-
 zens to cast the votes that l may never
 hear of another tick officer in Sumter county. My God. it has arrived at d critical time when our little buddies, number of them not owning or dipping a COW shall have the authority to write, vote talk, agree, ready enforce such an outrage on us. You shall take those cows sir! Go jump them in the poison or I will see that you are punished by our law Now l fully empower you and place that trust, praying you may be able to cast such vote to help cleanse and rid forever such officers, hoping we may be able to kill such law. Yours truly J. NJ. MEEK"

MAN TO BE TRIED ON
 CHARGE BLACKMAIL
Jesse Rhodes Is Charged With Writ ing Threatening Letters to
 Express Agent

Montgomery, August 30.-(Special.)- J.
 Jesse Rhodes, a white man of Wetumpka
 has been arrested by the federal gov
 ernment on the charge of writing a
 threatening letter to J. l.. Hayes, express agent at Mlstead In Macon county. The accusation against Rhodes Is closely al-
 lied to blackmail, and preliminary hear
 ing will be given the accused before
 Judge John H. Fillmore, United States
 commissioner. in this city at noon
 Wednesday. Rhodes is under a $500 bond In his letter to Hayes, the government alleges that Rhodes threatened the ex
 press agent with the loss of his job
 if he was not paid certain amount of
 money, declaring in the letter that Hayes had been making overcharges. Rhodes said in his letter that he had caused oth- CTS to lose their jobs under similar cir
 cumstances and if Hayes did not respond
 he would take the same course in his case The letter is in the possession of the government, and will be withheld from publication until after the case has been heard on Wednesday.
 | The specific accusation against Rhodes | is that he devised a scheme of artifice | to defraud one J. l.. Hayes by means of
 the postoffice establishment of the Unit ed States" in violation of section 54s0
 of the revised federal statutes as amend ed.
 The postmaster at Milstead, the post mistress at Tallassee and the rural car rier who Is alleged to have delivered the l letter to Hayes have been summond as witnesses. The contention in the ease will hinge on whether Rhodes was trying to
 exact certain sum from Hayes to seal
 his lips. or whether he was merely ask ing for the return of alleged overcharges on express.
 Deputy Federal Marshal Alex Kelly ar rested Rhodes, and when arraigned the accused pleaded mot guilty" Rhodes has employed counsel and will fight the
 prosecution. District Attorney Warren
 s. Reese swore out the warrant against
 Rhodes

 WHEAT MARKET Longs Had Eyes On Deliv- cry Day-Short
 Selling

Chicago. August 30.-wheat was liquidated heavily on the Board of Trade today. September in particular and the close was F 1a@B@1c under yesterday. Corn and oats found mar row markets, but while corn sold off b@Ac to ss o 1sc; oats closed un- changed to shade up. Provisions suffered from liquidation, closing from 7k @1Oc lower in lard and ribs to 62hc for September pork.
 The liquidation in wheat was led by September longs, who had an eye on delivery day next Friday and did not want the wheat. There also was more short selling in the pit than for a time was off nearly a cent and closed with a loss of fsQac. This option was picked up by elevators and cash houses who have sold December at 4%c premium. The Canadian north west reported clear skies and warmer weather with harvesting in full blast. Liverpool and Paris were weak. but other foreign markets ruled steady. The cash demand was slow. Decem- Der wheat touched bottom at 93B O t9SA c and closed 1sc under yesterday at 93h @935sc. May options at one | time were off 1s G1$sc, but the close showed slight recovery, 7s @1c under yesterday at 9sh @999sc.
 Cash corn to the extent of a half million bushels was sold today, but the markets for futures was narrow and the tone easier Spot sales so far this week aggregated 1,SOo.000 bushels, and In addition today new corn was sold for January and Febru- ary shipment. December prices fluctu- ated within range of A c and the close was Is O 54c off at 62A @62 ssc. September closed as @ 1ac down at 64h @64ssc.
 Oats were dull, the range narrow and the tone firm, although cash prices were off A e F Elevators took Sep tember and sold the deferred futures. December sold between 45lsc and 44Bc, closing unchanged at 45@45 1s c.
 Cash trade in provisions was normal for this part of year, but futures dropped off on liquidation and in sympathy with wheat and lower hogs. January was the favorite sale. Sep tember pork at one time broke IT F c and closed 62ac under yesterday at $15.75. January closed 221ac down at $1610. January lard closed 10c lower at s9.021a, and January ribs 71ac@10c depressed at sS.271a @SSO.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. August 30.--(Special)-As the date for the publication of the bureau ap- breaches the market slowly relapses into quiet, awaiting the effect of the report upon the spinners. The trade believe this document will be a bullish one, though at the same time they are looking for a large crop, believing that the recent rains will be very beneficial. Liquidation of in- terests continues, but no large buying by spinners or spinners' brokers has been in evidence during the day. The fluctuations in August were due to the liquidation of the small remaining interest on tender of the spot cotton for delivery. We expect that tomorrow will be quite as dull as to- day The weather continues favorable for the crop.
