VOLUNTEER STATE
FARMERS WAKING UP
AS TO HOG RAISING
A TENNESSEE SHIPMENT BRINGS
$a.10 ON THE ST. LOUIS
MARKET THURSDAY.
The CROP OF FEEDERS SHORT
Record Breaking Price Comes at q
Time When the Products Of the
State Are Attracting Attention at
Many Market Places.


Tennessee has profited very ma,
terially the past six months from the
shortage Of hogs and cattle in the
middle western states and the con-
sequence high price for both cork
and beef.
Hogs from Gibson county, this
state, brought $50 hundredweight
at st. Louis Thursday. This was 10
cents higher than the highest price
paid there Tuesday, which was at
that date the highest point reached
at that market this year.
Farmers and stock raisers of the
Volunteer State appear to be waking
up to the possibilities in the way Of
livestock raising. The past six
months, according to private advices
from st. Louis the increase in cattle
consignments from Tennessee has
been 65 per cent. Shipments Of
hogs from this state to the st. Louis
market have increased 10 per cent.
il the same period.
Up to July there were 6,S57 mead
OF cattle and 1904 hogs shipped
from Tennessee to St. Louis.
Illinois and Missouri fell off dur
ing the same period to a startling
degree. The report says that the
falling off in those two states 10
shown by the fact that they have
not been able to furnish the st.
Louis market within 100000 as many
hogs as they furnished the first six
months of 1911.
The report from the st. Louis mar.
ket indicates serious shortage in
hogs, with no relief in sight. Con-
sequently, prices of hogs on foot are
not likely to break materially. Crops
in that section are reported as most
promising, but the supply Of feeders
for the market is very low.
The following special from st.
Louis, details the facts more parti-
cularly:
Hogs from Trenton, Tenn, sold
at the St. Louis stockyards today at
$50 per hundredweight That IN
higher by 10 cents per hundred
weight than the highest price yester-
day. The hog shortage here is grow-
ing serious. Some sections report
nc hogs at all, although fodder and
cereal crops are looking excellent
all through Missouri and Illinois.
The live stock prospects were mover
SO poor as they are now. The
Mississippi valley live stock show
TO be held here in September, for
the first time, is intended primarily
tc stimulate live stock production in
the states of which ST. Louis is the
NV SWIM ului hCI duu illus pTCFlu0
in future years against a repetition
Of the shortage Of the hog and cat
tie supply.
Tennessee increased it's hog and
cattle shipments to st. Louis the
first six months this year, thus Sc
curing largely increased profits from
the high prices prevailing here.
The increase in cattle consignments
amounted to 65 per cent and the
increase in hog shipments to 10 per
cent.
| "The number of Tennessee cattle
received here up to July / was 6,S57
head and 1904 hogs. The falling on
in the supply of Missouri and ILL.,
nois is shown in the fact that those
two states have not been able to.
furnish st. Louis within 100000 as
many hogs as they furnished the
first six months of 1011."

It was feared for time that the
S. A. L. depot, which stands just this
side of the burned district, would be
ost, and negroes with buckets of wat
er were kept on the platform and
promptly extinguished any sparks
which fell there. The wind was blow
ing directly that way, carrying cloud
of smoke and sparks. Barrels of oil
and other combustibles housed IN the
stores in the burning and threatened
area were hurried out and rolled to
places of safety, in the rear of the de-
pot.

The fire, as stated, was checked
when it reached the DuPre building
and although it was some hours later
| before all danger was passed, no fur
ther trouble was experienced. The
walls which were left standing of the
burned buildings, and which were
thought to be unsafe, were pulled
down by the fremen. Telegraph and
telephone wires running into the
buildings which were burned were
cut to avoid danger from live wires
! and considerable damage to these
companies will result. The street cars
on this end of the Gervais line were
blocked while the fire was raging.
Another Fire-Accident.
While this fire was at its height
the residence Of DR.. w. G. Mcmillan,
behind the State House on Main street,
caught on fire, but the flames were
eXtinguished with little difficulty.
While the people were all hurrying
to the scene of the confagration, and
it is estimated that over 5000 people
viewed the scene, a small boy On Main
street was run over and seriously
damaged by an automobile hurrying to
the fire. He was taken to a local hos
pital and given attention. His name
was not learned.
Many scenes, some ludlcrous and
otherwise, were witnessed while the
fire was at its height. A mans clothes
caught and the hose was turned on
him at once, promptly extinguishing
the clothing, but drenching the man.
Several times the hose would burst
and people standing nearby would
literally be 'soaked." A cold wind,
blowing while the fire ragged, added
to the discomfort of the people who
focked from all sides to view the un-
usual scene.
Arevised and careful estimate of the
loss from the fire places the loss at
about S225,00O, with about S189,000 in
surance.
Losses and Insurance.
AS near as can be estimated, the
losses are as follows:
Gibbes Machinery company, with
branches in Charleston, Wilmington,
Spartanburg and Augusta, is the heav-
lest loser, the estimate on their loss
being about s125,OOO, with $4,000 in
surance.
The Southern States Supply COM
pany, loss about $4,000, with about
$4,000 insurance.
H. c. Werts & Co., loss about $15,-
900, with about $4,000 insurance.
Armour & Co., loss about s11 1000,
said to be fully insured.
The Gayola company, loss about s3,-
600, insurance about $500.
Mofatt B. DuPre company, loss
about $4,000, covered by insurance.
T. B. Roach Provision company, loss
about $4,000, covered by insurance.
Dr. F. S. Earle, drug store, loss
about $1,000, not insured.
Swift, & Co.,. loss about $1,000
thought to be fully insured.
An engine in the Seaboard yards is
said to have been badly damaged.
The telephone and telegraph COM
panies also sustained some loss, their
wires having been burnt out in this
section by the fire. Other minor
losses, such as tenant houses, were
sustained, but is thought that $780,
900 is an outside estimate of the loss
from the fire. The fire was gotten
completely under control this after
noon and only smouldering embers
mark the spot where the conhagra-
tion ragged this morning.

AN UNAPPRECIATED PATRIOT.

United States Senator Jonathan
Bourne is a candidate for reelection
and, as such, has already filed his
declaration with the Secretary of
State. Accompanying it is a decla-
ration of principles for which he says
he will stand If elected In the first
place, he wants printed opposite his
name on the primary ballot "Advo-
Gates the substitution of the general
welfare for the selfish interests in all
governmental operations
This certainly should appeal to
everybody. Further, Oregon's senior
senator declares thusly:
oregon system of popular gov
ernment, giving equal opportuni-
ties to all with privileges to none;
popular election of United States
senator's; parcels post, including
rural delivery; federal control of
interstate commerce.; rigid exclus-
ion Of coolie labor; permanent nom
partisan tariff commission; liberal
appropriations for rivers and har-
Dor improvements; free tolls for
American shipping through the
Panama canal; enforcement of the
pure food laws; liberal pensions
for deserving veterans; fair share
of irrigation funds for Oregon; in
creased efficiency rather than false
economy in governmental opera
tions; national good roads legisla-
ton; use Of public resources with
intelligent conservation; honest
government, service and business"
Surely here is a platform upon
which all classes may unite and boost
for all that's in them for Jonathan's
return to the upper house of Con-
gress. The Observer feels that II has
been imposed upon by Jonathan's
enemies. Why, this man stands for
everything that's good, and why
shouldn't he be reelected? OF course
there are persons who will intimate
that the senior senator is making
this plea simply to succeed himself
