we farmers say go hell with the
Democratic partv.", Il seems that
about one seventh OF the entire crl-
tivated acreage Of Alabama is be-
ing planted to peanuts. Not many
months ago peanuts were sellino AT
$4,000 per ton. Recently thew
have been selling at 10000 per ton.
This farmer attributes this drop in
prices to the heavy importations of
peanuts and peanut and other vege-
table oils from the Orient. 1t
seems that the importation of pea
nuts last wear was equal 70 nor
than two-thirds of the entire pro-
duction of the United States.
The farmers of Alabama are not
alone in their complaint concerning
%ruinous foreign competition. last
year we imported about 6ON0N0
pounds of cocoanut and soy bean
oils. These oils are used in the
manufacture Of substitutes for lard
and butter. and therefore come in
direct competition not only with
the Southern farmers, but with the
farmers of the great surplus hog
producing states of the North and
with the dairy farmers of the entire
nation.

UNION

The Union County Singing Con-
vcntion at Otto last Sunday was
the best ever held in the county ac-
cording to flattering reports by
parties who were present. The sing
ing was fine, and all who were there
which was no less than 500 people
enjoyed the best chicken dinner of
the season.
The next convention will be held
in CLAYTON and the Chamber of
Commerce has already made def

be entertained. The bill Of fa~c

Nearly all maps of the United
States show the parallels of 'ati-
tude as curved lines and are likely
to lead the ordinary observer to be-
lieve that certain eastern or west
ern States are farther north than
some of the central States that are
actually in the same latitude. For
this reason, one who is asked which
extends farther south. Florida or
Texas. is very likely to say TEXAS,
but as stated, the mainland o.
Florida is nearly 50 miles farther
south than the southernmost point
in Texas. For the SAME reason
when we consider the geographic
posi'ionS of countries south of the
United States we find that errorS
are likely to be made in estimating
position or extent in LONGITUDE. Few
realize that the island OF Cuba, for
example, If t%ransposed directly
north would extend from New
York Civ to Indiana, or that Ha-
bana is farther west than Cleve-
land. Ohio. or that the Panama
Canal is dive south of Pittsburg, Pa,
or that Nome, Alaska, is farther
west than Hawaii.

TOXIC, Nov 29.-Canadian mission
aries in Manchuria have sent signed
statement to the Associated Press tell
ing OF massacres alleged to have been
committed by Japanese troops in Chen
Tao. DR.. Martin. a Presbyterian mis-
sionary at Yong Jung. says;
1.-THE Japanese sent $1,000 troops into
this part of China with the seeming in
tention of wiping out the entire Chris
tian community, especially young men.
Villages were methodically burned daily
and the males in them were shot. Yong
Jung is surrounded by ring of viii
lagos, which suffered from fire and
wholesale murder"
DR.. Martin gives accounts by sur
vivors which describe the Japanese in
fantry as surrounding the villages and
setting fire to the crops and shooting
the male inha bitants. He names thirty
two villages In which massacres oc-
CURED or which were burned. In one
village, he says. 14S persons were killed.
Reports received from other missionaries
tend to corroborate the story of DR..
Martin.
The War Office here to-day informed
the correspondent that there were 5000
troops in the region referred to. Churches
and schools had been burned only when
there was evidence that they were be-
ing used for the purpose of creating dis
affection. 1t was also declared that the
only villages burned were those in which
a majority of the inhabitants were
in league with outlaws.
A commission of inquiry has been sent
to the scene.

ALL BRITAIN IS TAKING
PROTECTIVE MEASURES
Ports in England and Scot
land Guarded by Police.

LONDON, Nov. 80 (Tuesday) Other
big centres of population besides London
and Liverpool are preparing for defence
against possible Sim Fein attacks. Spe-
, cial police guards have been posted in
municipal and other public buildings in
Glasgow, while the docks and quays OF
the Clyde are being strongly guarded.
Extra police have been provided for
the Southampton docks in order to pro-
tect property and shipping.
The insurance business against riots
and damages to-day was the greatest in
London for long time. A large pro-
portion of the business came from the
Lancashire cotton district, owing to the
. contention by some of the fire insurance
companies that the fires in Liverpool
were not covered by ordinary fire poll
cies and that such incendiarism must be
specially insured against.
The precautions taken in the House
OF Commons and in the Government
offices against untoward demonstrations
include the posting Of a permanent
guard of armed policemen. selected for
their skill in the use of the revolver,
according to the Daily Nail. The men
were supplied with automatic pistols and
had orders to shoot to injure anybody
attempting to escape after having COM
United any outrage.
According to the Daily Mail, the Gov
eminent also will authorize the arming
of police for special patrol duty. Special
arrangements also are being made for
the rapid concentration of large forces
of police, and raids and arrests on a
Wholesale scale will be made should cir
cumstances warrant.

machine gun has been placed on patrol

declared in the House of Commons this
afternoon, in reply to questions regard
ing Saturday nights incendiary dock
fires in Liverpool, that there seemed no
doubt that the fires were the result Of
an organized conspiracy, in which MEM
bers of the Sim Fein party were en-
gagged.
Half dozen men who were prepar-
ing to set fire to a large lumber yard
in the district of Finsbury. an important
section of the city of London. less than

prised by a policeman Saturday night.
This attempt was almost coincident with
the breaking out of incendiary fires In

and shouted for help. Five men, with

OF Secretary Colby's note regarding
Mesopotamian oil. The Foreign Office
here promises the entire correspondence
for publication soon. Meanwhile a semi
inspired statement is bolstering British
opinion along lines already indicated in
THE NEW YORK HERALD, namely. that
the United States has slight ground to
butt in" on the Mesopotamian problem.

feed not a man and spent not dollar.
where Great Britain has poured out
both.
In the first place. officials here ex-
press surprise that Mr.. Colby should
bring the matter to a head SO seriously
and further surprise that he should per-
nit such action to leak out in the press.
The general tone of all press and semi
official comment is that America is
claiming equal rights in country where
she has not accepted equal Responsible
ties. Best informed persons here. how
ever. predict that the British reply to
Mr.. Colby will make A prima facie case
TO the effect that, so for as the British
Government is concerned. every one has
equal rights in Mesopotamia and any
other territory over which mandate APP
plies.
It has already been pointed out that
the Anglo-French agreement regarding
Mesopotamian oil merely disposes of
matter already exclusively Anglo-F'rench,
even before the war. Disposition is
merely demanded by Anglo-French rela-
lions under the mandates--business
rather than political relations-in which
the United States never had part.
1t was learned in this connection to-
night that the British have stirred up
the Persians either to affirm or to re-
pudiate the Anglo-Persian agreement. In
which oil largely enters. The British
Minister in Teheran has informed the
Persian Government that British troops
cannot remain In Persia Indefinitely.
This is polite diplomacy for saying that
Great Britain cannot remain dominant
there and cannot continue to supply
Persia with temporary funds unless the
Anglo Persian agreement is formally
Endorsed. In consequence of this infor-
nation has come from Persia that every
effort is being made there to hasten the
election of the new Persian Parliament.
