SKY-A|GH PRICES
PR VAIL FOR ALL
KINDS FIELD SEED
RYE AND CRIMSON CLOVER TOUCH
HIGHEST MARKS REACHED
IN YEARS.
DOUBLE ACREAGE OF CLOVER
Many Farmers Planting This Instead
OF Wheat-Sonae Frightened by High
Prices, Which Are Due to Bad Con-
dtions at Threshing Time.

Field seeds, especially rye and Grim
son clover, have advanced to new high
points on the local markets. Rye is
higher than it has been for many
years, at present being quoted at $140
to $150. Crimson clover is at present
selling at $S.75 to $500, as against
$500 to $500 for this time of last
year. Other field seeds have advanced
at almost the same rate.
In spite of the sky-high prices, the
acreage which will be sowed in field
seed will, this year, in all probility,
be much greater than the county has
ever known before. At present there
is little demand for anything but Grim
son clover Seed. for the other seeds
will not be sowed until September l.
The market is just opening on crimson
clover, which will this year be most
popular for producing winter pastur-
age. 1t is estimated by seed men in
Columbia that the acreage sowed this
year will be double that of any pre-
vious year Although few farmers
have been frightened by the high
prices into sowing some other kind Of
seed, the majority have bought Grim
son clover. A number of farmers are
sowing this fall crimson clover instead
of wheat.
The high prices are assigned by
seed merchants to the bad weather
conditions that prevailed at threshing
time. Rain ruined large part OF the
seeds, and therefore that which was
kept intact is worth more to the
sellers.

FIRE DESTROYS
NEGRO DWELLING
FIFTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS Is
THE AGGREGATE LOSS OF
FOUR HOUSES.

Two fires occurring in rapid success
sion Saturday destroyed three negro
houses and damaged another. The
first alarm, sounded at two-thirty, was
occasioned by blaze in a small negro
cabin near the ice factory on East
High street. The cabin was destroyed
before the fire department could reach
the scene; it was located out of the
corporate limits.
At three-fifteen the engine made a
quick run to East Hill, where the
house belonging to Will Moore, COL
ored, was almost consumed before the
alarm was sounded. The house next
door, owned by viii Keelo and occu-
pied by Charles Stocker, both colored,
quickly took fire. Sampson Browns
house also burned for few minutes.
The first building to catch fire was
completely destroyed with a loss of
approximately $500. Only $500 in in
surance was carried. Half the furni-
ture from this house was saved. Will
Keelo lost his dwelling, which was
ruined by fire and water: three-fourths
of the furniture of Charles Stocker
was saved. The loss here will total
$500. The third dwelling was only
slightly damaged. Some trouble was
occasioned in making the connection
between the hose and one of the n.y.
drants.

NUMBER CHANGES SUGGESTED
Adjournment Is Taken Until The Third
Monday In September to Give Better
Opportunity for Study of Points

over, section by section, the greater
part of the road law, the joint commit

The meeting was attended by eight
of the members of the Joint committee
as follows: Judge Mcknight, Justice
English, Jackson, Davis, Webster and
Messrs. Hayes, Brown and Petty.
The committee took up the existing
road law by. sections and many
changes and amendments were Of

upon the really important changes
suggested, it was agreed that final &C
ton would be deferred in order that
the members might have the oppor-

1t will probably require several long
sessions before the committee can
complete its labors, because of the
magnitude of the task undertaken and
the divergent views Of the members.

different idea upon some proposition
it takes some considerable time to
whip things into shape.

from the striking sectionInen. These
men we're sent up from Columbia as
special watchmen to protect negroes
working as strike breakers from sew
enty-fve section hands who had quit
their Jobs and refused to allow other
hands to come in.
According to the officers, they did
not know their destination until they
were put off the train at Petonia, four
miles from Covington, KY, and were
told that their job was to protect the
negroes who had been imported. In
ordinary times, no negroes are allowed
in this section, and with the whole
country in sympathy with the strikers,
the situation was much worse. For
the first few days there was no real
trouble, the strikers doing a good
deal of talking but no shooting. But
soon difficulties began. The strikers
retired to the hills, and whenever q
negro or guard was seen, began to
fire on him with long range rifles. The
CARDS were armed with Winchesters,
but on account of the concealment
of the strikers, were unable to do
anything but shoot at random in reply
to the scattering fire to which they
we're sometimes subjected.
The crack of bullets by their heads
and the whine of the spent balls be-
came common occurrences. On one
day the strikers got better ranges
than usual, killing one negro and
wounding another. Great difficulty
WAS experienced in getting the negroes
to 60 back to work, as they had be
come terrified, and at the slightest
sound would take to the bush for
cover.
No harm is being done to the pass
enger trains, the striking sectionmen
confning themselves solely to the
strikebreakers According to the
officers, the strikers have no organi'
zation, but are running a private
strike. It is said in the district that
the men want a 10 hour day instead
Of an II hour one, and $1.75 day
instead of s1.40. However, no offers
Of any description have been made
TO the railroad officials.
Perhaps the worst thing that the
Maury Countians had to contend with
was the intense sympathy of the PEG
rle for the strikers. According to
one of the officers the BARRIERS did moi
want to shave a guard, because they
were heart and soul with the strikers
In some places, no articles would be
sold the officers. All of the watchmen
seen by The Herald representative
expressed themselves as oeng very
glad to get back to the peace and
prosperity Of l-Aury county.

portant factors TO be considered In

The statement carried in reports
from Vienna follows:
During war time 1t is impossible

tive OF the people. Meanwhile. II is
our right TO give expression in behalf
OF the Polish nation OF its aspiration
to a re-establishment OF a permanent
Polish state. This establishment
must be accompanied by guarantee
ing equal rights TO all citizens. We
realize II is now impossible TO de-
lineate the frontier. which can only
be decided in accordance with the in
terests OF the central powers and the
conditions under which the war Is
brought to a conclusion"
The delegation recommended the
following:
Appointment Of regent with full
power OF government in the work OF
civic rehabilitation.
Abolish lines OF demarcatlon be-
tween the section OF Poland occupied
by German forces and that occupied
by Austrians
Calling OF provisional council
