DEPUTY SHERIFF
SLAIN ON STREET
B. S. Moore Shot to Death
While Begging for
Mercy.
SUSPECT YOUNG MAN
Cecil Mallory Said to Have Made
Threats Against County Officers
In Forrest City.

Forrest City, Dec. 1S.-Shot to death
while pleading for his life was the
fate of Deputy Sheriff b. S. Moore,
one of the most popular officers ever
placed in the service of this county,
immediate eye witnesses to the trag-
edy, but several persons were near
the scene and heard the offer beg his
assailant to spare him.
For Christ's sake. don't shoot! For
Gods sake don't kill mel" was the
appeal made by the officer.
But it met with nothing in the way
of mercy. Four shots were fired, two
taking effect in the face and one in
the side, either of which would prob
ably have been fatal He sank to the
ground and expired almost by the time
the first person reached the scene.
August Vogel and Charles R. lizard,
who live near the corner where the
tragedy occurred, were the first to
reach the dying man. He was unable
to make any statement as to his as
sailant. The killing occurred at about
2:45 o'clock at the corner of Forrest
and Garland streets.
Mallory Suspected.
A man was seen running Away from
the spot, but owing to the darkness
Identification was impossible. How
ever, suspicion settled on Cecil NAL
lory and officers at once went in
search of him. Mallory is under in
dictment, it is said, on several charges
and warrants are out for his arrest.
1t is stated further that he had made
threats against the local officers and
that he had a pitched battle with a
constable some timesago while resist
ing arrest.
Officers in search of Moore's MUIR
derer went Immediately to the home
of Mallory's grandmother last night
and they state that Mallory had been
there and had changed his shoes about
3 o'clock, leaving at once for parts
unknown. No one at the home could
tell anything about where he nau
gone, it is stated On their way to
GERS found where a revolver had been
emptied of it's cartridges. These were
found about a quarter of a mile from
the scene of the killing.
Had Been Hiding Out.
1t is stated that since the warrants
for Mal!ory's arrest were issued he
had been hiding out from the officers
hut that he had recently been seen in
this city. 1t is said that he was seen
last night, but so far as known did
not encounter Deputy Sheriff Moore in
the eraly part of the night. Mallory
is described as about twenty-four
years of age, light complexioncd and
under 6 feet in height.
This city is much excited over the
killing, as this is the second tragedy
to occur here within the past two
months, both of which have an air of
mystery about them. The other was
the killing of travelling salesman in
local hotel. So
Moore was decidedly popular of.
ficer. He had served under three
sheriffs and was regarded as man
Of much integrity. He had lived in
Forrest City for six years and was
unmarried.

The visiting leaf men from the west
haI e inspected the leaf tobacco offer
ings of the market, and most of them
have returned home without having
purchased heavily. They were partic-
ularly interested in binders and such
binders as are available are held at
prices that do not admit of their being
resold again at profit. The general
market has not picked up as it had been
hoped it would.
Sumatra. The first Of the fall in
scriptions takes place next Friday.
Nineteen thousand bales will be offered
at the first sale. The belief here is
that the quantity suitable for the
American market that will be offered
this fall is very small. The purchases
at the spring inscriptions amounted to
81, 800 bales.
Havana Business has been quiet To-
cally. In Havana the presence of a
number of American buyers has stim-
ulated business somewhat, and reports
are at hand of number of good sized
sales. Shipments from Cuba to this
country have been heavy.

EDGERToN, Wis, Sept. 20, 1912.
1t would seem that for the present
buying was at standstill in this as
we'll as other tobacco growing sections
in the state. And yet it is probably only
lull, for considerable portion of the
later fields has not been bargained for
and the recent cool, damp weather has
not aided in bringing them to maturity
Wednesday afternoon a hail storm
passed through section of Dane
county, covering strip about mile
and half wide from Cottage Grove to
Deerfeld. The damage, of course, will
be comparatively small as the earlier
and best crops have been harvested.
There is nothing of Importance in the
way of transactions and the shipments
to all points reach only 400 cases.

NEW DIRK, Sept. IA, 1917.
A seasonable stir of activity is pre-
vailing in the leaf market, limited by
the lack of such leaf as is most in de-
mand. This refers chiefly to the binder
stock, the scarcity of which is most
pronounced. Such of the out-of-town
buyers as are in the market are pick
ing and choosing the broadleaf which is
undergoing sampling but are not great
ly elated at the price asked for the Sec
onds, which is stated to be 35c. Trans
actions are readily made in the primed
leaf and in the new Florida, which has
turned out exceptionally WE'LL Sumatra
is also selling at quickened pace as
our cigar industry seems to be in better
condition than for the past few years.
From all trade centers the United
States Tobacco Journal is in receipt of
reports telling in glowing terms of the
quickened conditions of the trade and
the fast increasing consumption of ci-
gars. Cigar factories all over the
country are reported to be buster than
at any time during the year, which nat
urally means also larger consumption
of leaf.-Journal.

PRINGFIELD, MASS, Sept. 10, 1912.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Sept. 10, 1912.
The end of the Connecticut valley to-
bacco harvest is in sight. All harvest
ing records have been broken the past
few days. Incidentally the Sabbath
which was a perfect day for getting to-
bacco under cover.
Some growers are already through
and it is safe to predict that the major
ity will finish this week. The damp
weather the first of last week enabled
growers who are priming their crops
and who are short of shed room to take
down their first printing, thereby af-
fording room for housing their unhar-
vested tobacco.
There were hundreds of blue tobacco
growers in the Valley week ago. Cold
and rain did not promise well for to-
bacco still in the fields. Monday and
Tuesday saw rise in temperature
which brought humidity which threat
ened pole sweat. Wednesday was fine,
but Thursday night brought more rain.
Growers were able to work in the fields
part of Friday and Saturday, while
Sunday was perfect day and was
made the most of.
BY the close OF this week the amount
of unharvested tobacco will be incon-
siderable and so much transient labor
will be available that the printing or
cutting of the last acre will be mat
ter of few days.
The large tobacco barn of Charles F.
Austin in Westfeld, Mass, filled with
tobacco of unusually good quality, was
burned to the ground last Wednesday.
There was charcoal fire burning in
the barn as pole sweat preventative,
but Mr.. Austin is positive that the fire
originated from another cause. The
loss of $500 is partially covered by in
surance.

Commenting on the condition of the
tobacco market, resulting from the dis
solution of the American Tobacco Co.,
the Springfield, Mass, Morning Union
makes the following observations
"While Colonel Roosevelt continues to
sneer at President Taft's prosecution
of the tobacco and Standard Oil trusts
and to assert that mot one particle OF
benefit to the community at large has
resulted from the dissolution of these
trusts, the tobacco growers of the Con-
necticut valley are experiencing the
benefits of competitive buying and are
receiving the highest prices for their
crops since 1892. There is real COM
petitive buying this year, for the first
time since the organization of the to-
bacco trust in 1894. Representatives
of the former subsidiaries of the Amer
lean Tobacco Co. have been in keen
competition among themselves and with
the independents. The buying started
almost a month earlier this year than
usual, and the best prices in twenty
years have been paid for the tobacco in
the field, although the crop is an unus-
ually large one.
The statistical division of the Bureau
of Insular Affairs has just tabulated
the statistics of the imports and eX-
ports of the Philippine Islands for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1912, and the
trade will find much food for reflection
therein. 1t is true that the exports of
cigars to the United States have not
yet reached even one-half of the limit
of $50, 900, 900 imposed in the Payne
Aldrich bill, but it increased 200 per
cent in 1912 over 1911. In other words,
the exports of cigars from the Philip
pines to the United States during 1912
was three times that during 1911. So
tremendous was the increase and the
total value of the cigars sent to this
country in 1912 that it almost equaled
the value of the entire cigar exports
from the islands the preceding year.
In 1911 the total number of cigars eX-
ported was 1872, ,217, 900, valued at 81, 700,-
712 Of these the United States took
%, 947, 900, valued at S625, PA. In 1912
the total exports increased to It's, 320,
600, of which the United States took
81, 692, 900. The total value of the CT
gars exported in 1912 was 81, $50, ,061,
while those going to the United States
were valued at ST, $40, 724.

LANCASTER, Pa, Sept. 8, 1912.
The new crop of Lancaster county
has been growing under conditions so
favorable, of late, that person can
almost see the plants grow. Ii the
frost season holds off long enough our
growers will have very nice crop to
offer to the trade, and as the 1911 pack
ing is being sold, the growers can very
confidently count on seeing our packers
among their customers, just as in for
mer years. The topping of the crop
may be said to have just about been
finished, for good deal remained dur
ing the past week to be topped.
Considerable cutting has been done,
but it will not become general until the
month is well advanced. Very fire.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

The tobacco taxation issue which for
years has been a source of spirited con-
troversy between tobacco packers and
town assessors in several states, more
especially in Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania and Connecticut, is working itself
out in New England along lines which
promise to eliminate the friction which
has existed between packers and town
authorities. Last winter the relations
between packers and assessors became
so strained that at the annual conven-
tion of the National Cigar Leaf Tobac-
co association in New York in May,
resolutions were adopted protesting
against local taxation on leaf tobacco
and calling upon members of the asso-
citation to withdraw tobacco on storage
and cancel leases of warehouses, wher-
ever possible, in towns in which tax
of this nature was levied. The attitude
OF the National Cigar Leaf Tobacco as
sOciation is based on the contention
that the packing houses in most in
stances are merely branches of large
firms which pay a headquarters assess
rnent upon their gross assets. 1t would
be equally logical, the assessors main
tain, for the New York authorities to
pldC0 q lax upon IdIlu anu UulluIIlSS Ill
the Connecticut valley which are owned
by New York firms and corporations.
The writer is not attempting to argue
the merits of the question. the fore
going being merely statement of the
position of Massachusetts and Connec-
ticut town officials. The important
phase of the matter at present is that
packers and town authorities in New
England are getting together. Each is
conceding little and definite under
standing will, it is expected, remove
cause for future disagreements. In
many Connecticut valley towns, mem
bers of the boards of assessors are
either directly or indirectly interested
in tobacco and there is no disposition to
crowd outside packers. So promising
is the outlook for harmonious under
standing in New England that we ad
wise other tobacco growing sections to
watch the proceedings there closely.
If the tobacco trade and the authori
ties can get together in Connecticut,
they can do so in other tobacco centers.

lnc Agricultural Department reports
the condition Of the United States to-
bacco crop on September l, as 1914 per
cent of the ave- age condition (not nor
maD on the same date of recent years.
The actual cond tion of the tobacco
crop at the begi ming of this month
was 81 per cent Of the normal condi-
ton for ten years. The condition fig
ures of the crop were 82.8 per cent on
August 1, 1912: Ill per cent on Sep
tember l, 1911, and SIG per cent an
average for ten years. The acreage of
the tobacco crop this year, according
to the latest figures, is l, 1874, 200 acres,
an increase of 17.9 per cent over the
1911 acreage. The estimated yield Of
tobacco per acre this year, as inter
preted from condition reports, will be
817.1 pounds, compared with the final
figure of yield per acre for 1911 of
1897 pounds, and 828 pounds the aver
age annual yield per acre 1906 to 1910.
The total production of tobacco this
year, as interpreted from condition re-
ports, is estimated at $4,000, 900
pounds, compared to 9O5, 900, 900 pounds,
the actual production in 1911, and l, 103,- :
900, 900 pounds in 1910. 1t is estimated
that there was decrease in prospects
for the tobacco crop during August
amounting to 4-10 of l per cent.
