Fight Against Iavemeyer.

Oxnard said he tried to place his sur
plus product in the Missouri river dis
trlct but found competition by the Have
meyers that finally resulted in them re-
ducing the price to 81 cents a pound in
that territory. The OXnard company
then began TO ship California sugar to
New York at the New York price, send
Ing 1t by rail- TO Galveston ana New Or
leans and trans-shippng thence to New
York by steamer. This war lasted four
or five weeks.
The witness said that his company took
care of their surplus product by making
future contracts with the jobbers A
maximum price was paid on the day OF
sale, and the sugar was guaranteed
against decline up to the day OF delivery,
The iobber was to get the benefit Of any

LAST STAND OF THE
CONFEOERACY OVER
Old Glory Waves Again in Liberty,
Missouri, After Absence Of
Fifty Years.

LIBERTY, Missouri, November g.
After fifty years Clay County, Missouri,
has come back to the Union. For the
first time since the beginning of the
War the American flag is flying over
the courthouse here, and South and
North are one again. The same man
who pulled the Stars and Stripes down
from the flagstaff in 1861 raised them
again in 1912, and the war is over
In the first year of the Civil War,
John w. Hall, a soldier in Gen. Ster-
ling Prices brigade, hoisted Confed-
crate flag over the courthouse at Lib
erty. Liberty, while north of the Mis-
souri, river, was in Clay County, settled
largely by Kentuckians, and named for
Henry Clay. The people were intensely
Southern in their sympathies, and hun
dreds of them enlisted in the Southern
armies.
They were too far North, however,
and too close to Kansas and Fort
Leavenworth to be allowed to secede
from the Union, and shortly after the
Confederate flag was raised body of
Federal troops swooped down on the
town and drove the rebels out, The
Stars and Stripes again were hoisted on
the courthouse and few there until the
Federal troops had left. Then the flag
was hauled down, and from that time
until now never was raised again. The
old flagstaff weathered the storms of
many years. The halliards rotted away
and finally the staff itself fell and was
not replaced.
Recently the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution in Liberty, nearly all
of them also members of the Daughters
of the Confederacy, noted the absence
of the flag from ,the courthouse and
took up the matter with the county
court. They persuaded the officials to
purchase new flagstaff and buy new
flag. An old-time flag raising was
planned and the event was made holi-
day for Liberty.
fall still lives in Liberty and now
is state commander of the United Con
federate Veterans. To him was dele
gated the honor of raising the new flag
and as he slowly hauled up the ensign
the loudest cheer that Liberty has
heard since the days when the rebel yell
echoed through Liberty's streets rent
the air.
General Halls eyes filed with tears
as the red and blue folds of the flag
swung out in the autumn breeze and
there were plenty of other eyes that
moistened as the crowd, among which
were many gray-haired veterans of the
North and South, sang the "Star
Spanged Banner in bass that broke
often into the same treble that came
from the school children gathered
around.
''Glory to God, Liberty's come back
into the Union!" shouted an old Union
veteran, and chorus of "Amens"
came from the ex-Confederates. And
now that Liberty and Clay County are
back again in the Union, the county
court has promised that the flag will be
raised every holiday.
