ting them to sell at the lowest prices
possible. 1t is estimated that there are
estimated that there are 10000 barrels
of apples IN Jefferson county this fall,
and probably more than half Of the
crop has been already sold. Dealers
are paying from $3.50 to 1915 barrel,
and are putting up strong bluff that
this is the top price. On the other
hand, ii is claimed that in the Staun.
ton neIghborhood higher prices are be.
ing paid, and it is said that the big
Winchester growers are expecting bet
ter figures.
Charles d. Wysong has the largest

thought that he will get from $500 to
1900 barrels from his two orch ards
east of town. Jacob S. Osbourn esti-
mates his crop at $500 barrels; DR.. A
S. Reynolds may get 1900 barrels from
his two orchards; Henry w. Potts will

fields orchard. Other crops IN this vi.
cinity are estimated about as follows
H. G. Marshall, 800 barrels; Harmon d
heirs, 800; WHIT. McQuilkin, 800 to
500; Geo. w. Osbourn, 500 to 800; w.

Milton s. Miller, 500 to loo; E, H.
Reinhart, 800 to 8O0;J. P. Kearfott, 800
The largest crop in the county, pro
badly, is that of the Fairview Orcha I'd
Company near Kearneysville, includ
ing the Border and Jones orchards
which is placed at 5000 barrels. s. s.

VILE REPORTS ABOUT SOUTH
LABOR AGENTS STORIES ARE
SUPPRESSED BY THE sEcRE-
TARY OF COMMERCE.
Revolving Stories About Private Lives
OF People in South Told in
Reports.

Washington. That Secretary Ma
gel Of the department OF commerce
and labor has suppressed much of the
reports of agents of the labor bureau,
because of their revelations concern
ing the private lives of people in
North Carolina and other Southern
states, was asserted in the senate by
Senator Overman He said some of
the reports were so revolving in char
acter that, if printed, the law prohib-
iting the circulation of obscene liter
ature would prohibit thehir transmits
sion through the mails.
The statement followed an inquiry
by Senator Beveridge as to the pub
LEGATION of the investigation into the
employment of women and child la
Dor made a few years ago by the
bureau Of labor.
1t was at this juncture that Mr..
Oyerman made mis- statement concern
ing the course of Secretary Nagel.
Il heard OF the vile character Of
some of these reports" he said, "and
went to Mr.. Nagel about them He
told me the revelations were such that
he felt called upon to suppress them.
Tt would seem that some of the agents
nad gone into the mountains and had
taken it upon themselves to investi-
gate the private affairs of the people,
when the law authorized an inquiry
only into labor conditions
"Just So" commented Mr. Bailey;
whenever we allow one of these med
dlesome officers to get their noses
into the front doors of the homes of
the people, they are liable to go far
tner than they should"
The inquiry in question was made
at a cost of 100000.

DEMOCRATS CELEBRATE.
Meeting Was a Celebration and No
Great Political Significance At
tached to Proceedings.

Baltimore. Content during the
lean years OF defeat to dine at dol
lar dinners" with "hog and hominy'
as the central theme and spring water
on the side, the militant Democracy
OF 1911 sat at a feast in this city,
where the exclusive diamond-back ter
rapin Wed with the aristocratic can
vas-back duck and the epiourean
Smithtield ham in the courses Of a
banquet celebrating the Democratic
victories of 1910.
The banquet was the closing fea.
ture Of day given over to harmony
conferences among the Democrats
from various sections of the country.
Governor Harmon Of Ohio and Champ
Clark of Missouri were the central
figures in the doingS
Contrary to the general impression
the meetings constituted celebration
rather than conference, and no great
political significance attached to the
proceeding.
The banquet was the most elaborate
affair ever held in Baltimore. The
preparations for it have been under
way since soon after the ballots were
counted in November last and in the
wealth of floral decorations, in re.
pleteness of service and in the choice
of viands and vintage wines, it ranks
with the most notable feasts the Dem
ocracy has ever known.
