HEAVY SALES ON CITY FLOORS
STARTED SEASON ON
MONDAY
PRICES RANGED MUCH HIGHER
With No Fine Types Offered, the
Prices Paid Ran AS High
AS $3.50.

The opening sales of tobacco Tues
day attracted big crowds and great
interest was taken in the start to be
made in marketing the greatest cror
ever grown in the county.
Buyers were plentiful and prices
were very satisfactory for the low
grades offered, and no really fine
types were put on sale. The prices
paid were at least SO to $5 ahead of
the closing prices last spring. Oc-
casionally. some good leaf was offer
ed azd prices would go as high as
$36.5O for these grades, though, as a
rule the prices ranged from $1,000
to $25.
The sales were heavier than had
been looked for. The deliveries on
Monday were very numerous and
well distributed among the several
warehouse, Offering about 250,000
pounds.
Buyers from all Of the markets
were on hand and to the local repre-
sentatives were added many visiting
buyers.
The sales were conducted in the
following order: Butler & Jackson,
Campbell street, j. W. Williams,
auctioneer; Vests Loose Floor,
Capt. Hevndon, auctioneer, M. H.
Tandy & Co., R. E, and w. D. Coop
er; Bryant, Hopson & Coleman;
Hancock Warehouse Co.; Farmers
Loose Floor and Thompson's Loose
Floor. The auctioneers alternated.
Sale swill continue every day and
good deal of the crop is expected
to move before Christmas. 1t is the
belief that prices will advance as the
season progresses, especially after
the peace treaty is ratified and the
foreign markets are open to Ameri-
can tobacco.
Prices yesterday were $1.O0 high
er, one lot selling for $3.50 ON the
Bryant, Hopson & Coleman floor.

Indianapolis, Dec. Convinced
that efforts to bring about resump-
tion of operation of coal mines thru
offers of IA per cent. wage advance
to miners have failed and that the
injunction issued by United States
District Judge Anderson against the
strike has been violated, the govern
ment has concluded to institute con
tempt proceedings at once, it was in
dicated here.
Federal agents would make no
statements as to when court action
might be expected but it is known
that evidence has been collected
agc:nst alleged violators of the in
junction and, in well-informed cir
cles, it was confidently expected that
arrests would be made within AZ
hours.
1t is understood that the govern
ment has delayed action in the hope
that some other way out of the fuel
difficulty would be found,
In injunction, as explained by
Judge Anderson, extends to individ
nal miners operators or other pera
sons who, in any way, encourage the
strike or interfere with the produce
ton of coal. Government attorneys,
it is said, interpret this to mean that
any statement made by miners, or
any agreement between two or more
men to continue on strike, eonsti-
tutes violation of the Injunction
During the trial in FederaI court
today of Alonzo Newcomb, a coal
miner of Blanford, Ind, charged
with violation of Federal Getior
laws, in which the latter declared
that "it would be all his life was
worth to attempt to return to work,
in the mines. Judge Anderson as
serted that mine operators. and mine
workers appear to be III caagpts5t tor
bleed the public"
Doesn't it appear to you that you
all are in a conspiracy to milk the
people?" Judge Anderson asked
Newcomb said the miners are maid
81 cents a ton for the coal thew
mine while they haze to paw the
operators 1920 a ton on ton and he
sides have to haul it,
isn't it true that you say the
mine operators get so much that you
want part of their profts?" persist
ed the judge.
Newcomb said it seemed to be the
case.
Newcomb said he averaged about
Sc day as a coal digger and had
made as much as $40 a day. He
said his last pay check called for
S82.27 for IA days work, but that
about SIS had to be taken out for
powder and other expenses owed the
nine owner.
When asked why he did not re-
urn to work, inasmuch as the mines
we're open and the government would
'fford protection, NewcOmb said:
Your honor, is would be all my
ife would be worth to start back to
work. | would not last long, l don't
xpect."

Additional reports from the Bap.

ing their quotas have still further in
creased the totals.

viii hold their meetings Sunday, all
in the forenoon except Concord
which meets at 2;30 p. m. Some of
these churches are quite hopeful but
are having difficulty in raising their
quotas. 1t is believed that all will
finally succeed. These seventeen
churches will alone raise $4,000
more than the quota of all the "a
churches in the county belonging to
Bethel Association.
Of the remaining seven churches,
Macedonia with $4,000 and Palestine
with $4,000 are the largest, The
others are Hight's Grove $1,000, a
new church with only five male mem
bers and no meeting house; Mack's

church near Dawson; New Barren
Springs. 50 coo, on Greenville roa+;
New Ebenezer $4,000, near Honey
Grove, and West Grove $1,000, a
little church west of Crofton. The
quota of all combined is $4,000
Should any of these churches fail or
should all fail, the county win still
show an excess Of many thousand
dollars over its quota of S244,000
for "a churches, Should they raise
their quotas or a good part of them,
a magnificent showing will be made
of approximately 100000. The
three churches in Little River Asso-
citation with S1O,5OG quotas in the
are expected to raise their
amounts without any trouble.
Minute Men have been asked for
Sunday morning at Mt. Zoar, at Kel-
ly, and a crew will go out. Other
churches that can be reached in au-
tos are Grofton, Bethel and New
Barren Springs. If they need as
sistance, speakers will be sent to

broke churches.
Sinking Fork has run its total up
from $1,000 to $2,4C0 and has its

not be satisfied to ston at SIP, 200.

GENERATIONS

This country over here is fin,
one to visit but 1t is so far behint
ours in every other respect that an
going to be always satisfied with
the United States hereafter"
The above is the closing paragraph
from letter from a man who en-.
listed shortly after the war started
and who has been on the other side
about wear.
Little does ne know what strong
effort is being made by the socialist
politicians in this country to Eur.
opeanize" and 'paternalize" this ma
ton In his absence.
This man has seen the lack Of mi.
tiative in the common people in coun-
tries where tho government controls
the great uti.i,,es such as transpor.
tation, telephone and telegraph sys-
TENS as well as many other lines Of
industry.
. He has been in a country where
the common people never heard of
such things as telephones and cleo
trio lights in their oyn homes. Those
conveniences were for the rich and
Official class only. The govern
ment controlled the supply and there
was no competition and SO why fur
nish cheap phones and juice to the
people.
This Is simply illustration OF the
system.
This man expects to come home to
a country such rs he left where the
private individual was at liberty to
develop and grow and build up a
business under the protection of a
constitution guaranteeing him these
rights.
He doesn't expect to come home
and find his country "Europeaniz-
ed" and "paternalized" So that the
door is forever closed to him as a
private citizen to enter the field of
railroadtag, the telephone. telegraph
or cable business. the maratime in

1 dtlstry as private owner of ships
and numerous other lines.
This man, the same as thousands
! of other Americans would never be
satisfied to be a mere cipher all his
life and draw pay as a government
clerk with no chance of advancement
or hold down soft berth on ship
with O soft bed and good meals as
so alluring pictured by Mr.. Hurley
in his program of complete govern
ment operation of the entire Ameri
can merchant marine.
This man doesn't want to be pet
ted ad pampored and made a mere
ward Of the government.
He wants an American chance to
build ana develop along lines of in
dividual initiative under the protec-
ton OF the American flag.
This man little realizes that while
he has been away from home fight
ing for democracy in foreign lands,
an organized movement has been
started in his own country to control
the opportunities which have been
heretofore the birthright OF every
American.
Men like this American saved the
world from German autocracy and
he fought because he believed in the
freedom of the individual.
Is he to conc home to a country
honeycombed WITH socialism and rea-
'dy to establish an official aristocracy
to control virtually every move of an
American either?
He has seen this system in opera
ton in foreign lands and he is long
ing for the day when he can get
back to the good old U. S. A.. as he
knew It before the war.
Whether you be laboring man or
capitalist, this is your country and
it is going to De up to you to de-
eide whether you stay with Ameri
can traditions and principles or step
backward one hundred years and |
switch 70 system which brought |
about world war.
Let the people think.
