"O'wad some power the
giftie gle us,
To see oursel's a. others
see vi"

The human family presents to our
minds an interesting but very COM
pick study.
1t is thought by many that events
move in cycles, and that history re-
peats itself. 1t looks as IL this might
be true.
Go back nineteen hundred years
or to the first century A. ID. and con-
slider the conditions then existing and
see how they compare with events
taking place to-day.
The Pharisees were the governing
class then and with their prohibitions
almost throttled freedom of speech,
and freedom Of action. This more
holy than thou element would not
tolerate any measure of change or
reform if antagonistic to their views
and opinions, so when the Great
Teacher appeared upon the scene,
with a new doctrine which was to re-
deem the world they would have
none OF Him and sent Him to the
Cross.
This same element has again APP
peared. We have them among us
to-day, and they never let an oppor-
tunity pass without telling you how
good they are and how unlike other
people-They are thoroughly salts
fed with their social. religious and
political opinions, and like their
prototypes become peeved if one
should give utterance to an express
sion that differs from their precon-
ceived opinions. The Golden Rule
like the Key Stone to the principle
Arch of the Temple, has been thrown
among the rubbish.
Verify it looks to me like the time
is propitious for some great change.

H-C-L
SUGAR REPORT
Are Concentrating their
Efforts on the Sugar
Situation.

The High Cost of Living Commits
sion is still receiving a great many
complaints about the high price Of
sugar. The price of sugar in the
city Of Louisville ranges all the way
from IL cents to 20 cents per pound.
The dealers who sell the high price
sugar claim that the wholesaler can
not or will not furnish Eastern sugar
and that they are charging from 1sc
to zoe per pound wholesale, for the
Louisiana sugar. We cannot under
stand why they cannot get Eastern
sugar at Eastern prices in this dis
trict. A great many of the com
phinants seem to feel that there is a
Justification somewhere and that the
scarcity of sugar as heretofore sug.
gested so artifically was for the pur-
pose Of selling the high price sugar
in this market, therefore the Commits
sion has started an investigation
which will reach from Louisville to
Washington and will report the re-
suit to the people of Louisville
through the Press as it develops. We
note an erroneous statement has been
circulated with reference to the Su-
gar Board. The Sugar Board still
has jurisdiction over sugar and sugar
prices and we are going to request
that said board take up the Louisville
situation and use our best endeavors
to get Eastern sugar into this mar
ket if the wholesaler can be induced
to handle it. We do not believe
that it is impossible to get Eastern
Sugar that can be sold at the usual
sugar profit, for 12c a pound there
fore we are in hopes of being able to
fix a price at not more than ~ cents
within the near future.
1t is only fair to state that the re-
tailers, we find from our investiga-
ton, are not always profteering in
sugar and other staples but are OBJ
liged to pay, in many cases, these ex-
orbitant prices to the jobber, and that
the jobber in some instances in turn
are not profiteering but likewise have
to pay exorbitant prices to the pro.
Queer making it necessary that the
will have to take place at the source
corruption of the present condition
of production making it exceedingly
difficult for this Commission as they
are most always outside Of our juris-
diction but where local profiteering
is prevailing or where prices are
charged or based on replacement
basis instead of the actual cost, the
District Attorneys will begin prose
cutions.

HORRIBLE
ACCIDENT
Mr.. William Ray Loses
Life At Railroad
Crossing.
Auto Hit BY Local Freight

The crowd Of Christmas shoppers
in Lancaster were thoroughly shock
ed last Monday, when IL was announc-
ed that Mr.. William Ray, one OF Gar
rard countys most prosperous and
popular citizens, had been killed at
the railroad crossing on Richmond
street, the fatal accident occurring
about twelve o'clock that day.
He was returning TO his home on
the Richmond pike in his Ford tour
ing car and at the first crossing just
in the edge Of town his machine was
struck by the incoming local freight,
with engineer Tom Bess at the throt-
tie, resulting in totally wreeking the
machine and fatally injuring Mr.. Ray,
tire only occupant, he dying from re-
suit Of the accident about four hours
later. Approaching the railroad as
was Mr.. Ray at the time OF the acct
dent, one can see up the L and N
track for n distance Of one half mile,
and why the incoming freight was not
seen by him will always remain
mystery. The collision was what
might be called a head on" the car
being n total wreck. was carried a
distance Of 100 yards down the track.
Mr.. Scion Henry who standing in the
cemetery at the time saw the car APP
preaching the crossing, as the train
was whistling, and was wondering #
the driver was noticing the onrushing
train. In an instant the crash can e
and Mr.. Henry was among the first
TO reach the side Of Mr.. Ray, who
was carried down the track with the
car. and whose mangled body was
found on the North side Of the track.
His left'ley was terrible crushed, sew
eral ribs broken and he was bleeding
internally.
He was lifted into an auto and car
ried to his home, where physicians
were hurrriedly summoned and all
that medical skill could do, was done
but without avail, as il was soon seen
that death was a matter Of only few
hours and he passed away at four
o'clock, never regaining conscious
ness.
Mr.. Rufas Brakeman, Of Kirksville,
was on the opposite side Of the track
when the accident happened. having
stopped his machine at the whistle Of
the train, but with his eyes fixed on
the train did not see the approaching
car on the opposite side, until the
crash came. He rushed also to the
assistance Of the unfortunate man
and was the first to recognize that il
was Mr., William Ray.
Mr.. Ray was one of the county's
most popular citizens, having repre-
scented the county in the Legislature
during the session of 1s99-1900, de-
festing Judge Lewis L. Walker, the
Republican nominee.
He was member Of the Christian
church and led an exemplary life.
He is survived by his wife and four
children. The children all by a
former marriage, are Mrs. Myrtle
Warren, Mrs. Henry Arnold, Mrs.
Virgil Layton ana Mrs. Ray Noel.
He was 5s years old and has lived in

TOBACCO
Promises To Be High
At Opening Market
Next Monday.

rard Tobacco warehouse closed It's
sales for the Christmas season until
next Monday morning, December
goth, at which time the sales will be
resumed and daily sales will be held
every day throughout the balance Of
the season.
Up to this time 1,114,95O pounds
of tobacco have been sold over the
brakes Of this house at an average Of
5000 a hundred. During the last
week of the sales the lower grades
of tobacco we're a little off, but the
better grades were still very high
and many think that the market from
this on will get stronger every day.
Pinhookers are still reaping a harvest
off of the growers, many of them
ceiling at low prices resulting heavy
profits to the pinhooker.
Both floors Of the warehouse are
filled and ready for the sale next
Monday and every day brings many
loads to the house, all of which are
being unloaded and cared for by the
managers in charge.
The high prices that are being
realized for the tobacco crop over
the state is creating no little COM
ment, the Courier Journal of last
Monday stating that producers are
getting 9.s2 times as much for Dark
Red Burley, 3.69 times as much for
Bright Red Burley, 1888 times as
much for Colony Burley and 2.77
times as much for Dark manufacture
ing tobacco, as was gotten before the
beginning of the war in 1918.
Farmers who formerly merely
rented their land from large planta-
ton owners, now are purchasing
acreage from proceeds of this years
crop alone, and speculation in tobac-
CO lands is rampant.
One farmer is reported to have re-
ceived as much for forty acres of
tobacco as his 220-acre farm cost in
1878, while another obtained $1,000
more an acre for a crop than he paid
for the land on which the leaf was
grown.
Limousines are becoming common
in the tobacco sections. Tobacco
prices have created more excitement
among farmers of the State than the
famous night-riding exploits.
Louisville manufacturers assert
that present retail prices to consum-
ers are based on last years raw to-
bacco prices and that chewing and
smoking tobaccos will have to be ad-
vanced in the near future to meet
higher prices being paid to growers
this year. They argue that prices to
the consumer have not advanced in
proportion to those for raw leaf since
before the war.
Demand For Leaf Great.
Present high prices for raw leaf
are the outgrowth of a tremendous
increase in use of cigarettes in this
country and a much greater export
demand for United States leaf, caus-
ed largely by the wider introduction
Of it into England, France and Italy
by the American Army during the
war.
