quartet of young men killed in the
recent railroad wreck by the spe-
cial train en- route to Mullins
tunnel, was held There were
friends from afar in attendance,
and such a scene of sorrow had
never visited the quiet place. The
service for one sufficed for all. and
was impressive in the extreme,
The bodies were inferred in near

many of the dead by many of the
friends, as well as the usual cur

GEORGE ESTES HAS
GOOD GRIP ON LIFE

George Estes, seriously wounded a
week ago during the fatal alteration
between officers at Irvine, continues
his grip on life at the Pattie A. Clay
hospital, and since more than a week
has passed, it is the opinion of DR.. O.
F. Hume that the man may recover.
The patient clings steadfastly to the
opinion that he has a recovery ticket
and will listen to nothing else. The
attending physician believes there is
much less danger now of blood pOiS-
oning and that Estes has a better
chance for his life than at any time
heretofore since his being brought to
the hospital. The patient is being
visited regularly by his brother and
other relatives, who are optimistic re-
garding the mans recovery, believing
he will soon be able to leave the in
stitution. This may and may not be,
since the nature of the injuries were
such as to precipitate complications
for some time, unless the stricte st
regard for the wounds is given, and
this is the aim of those in attendance.

TOBACCO CUTTING
Is NOW THE ORDER

Tobacco cutting is now in order
and much of it is being DONE There
was some tobacco cut in Madison
county last week, but no great
amount, although some of the sheds
are bullying with the long leaves in
evidence from top to bottom. The
work will get well under way this
week, and continue until the crop has
been cut and put away. This an
nounces another important and safe
phase of the tobacco crop for the year
and there will be a very fair crop, it
is said, despite the reports to the con-
trary. The rust and blight, it is
true, damaged considerable tobacco in
Madison county, although not as
much as elsewhere, but the great ac-
reage will bring in results that will
be surprising, it is said, if fair price
is received, and this is one of the OBJ
jects of the organization of many
producers throughout the country.

FUND
DOWN TO A PENNY
(By Associated Press)

Chicago, Aug. 3O-Will Hays,
chairman Of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, today told the
Senate committee investigating
campaign contributions, that the
Republican National Committee
fixed the amount for the 1920
campaign at $3,O79,O37 20, proper
toned out among the states.
He said the greatest publicity
was given the movement as the
effort progressed. Tentative
quotas were fixed by the treas
urer's office, all tentative, and
rather as a goal, always high, of
course. 1t was each particular
state to decide for its amount,
which was changing constantly.
Hays said that no contributions
were res eived from any corpora
ton and estimated the. national
campaign cost would be $5,O0O,-
COO which, however, he said in
Icluded more than 81 100000 spent
in the state campaigns. He said
the National Committee borrow
ed the money to finance itself I'M
til contributions became available,
but denied that men of large
means had been consulted regard
ing a plan to underwrite the cost
of the republican campaign.
Hays then charged the Demo-
cratic national organization had
planned to raise from $5,OOO,000
to $1O,OOO,OOO to finance the pres
idential campaign. He cited news
paper articles and quoted indi-
vidual democrats to the same
general effect.

Prices on poultry have shown some
decline. The movement from produc-
ers has been heavy, and. dealers are
reluctant to store the surplus at the
present high prices.
Butter production is showing some
decrease, but is still heavy for this
time of the year, owing to generally
good pasturage conditions. Demand
has been very good and prices are
steady to fi-mer.
Offerings of fresh eggs are de
creasing. The demand is very good
and dealers are drawing eggs from
storage quite freely to meet the needs
of the consuming trade.
