HOG RECEIPTS
GLUT MARKET
But Clearance Finally Is Good
at Average Drop of rs
Cents in Prices.
The effect Of DC inexorable rule OF
COMPARATIVE SALES.

The effect Of the memorable rule Of
supply and demand was reflected very
clearly in the local nog market on Tues
day when 10000 hogs, an increase of %
per cent over yesterday, was received.
Prices declined 25c. At first 1t appeared
hogs than could be sold, but finally there
was a satisfactory clearance, 1000 or
more, going to local interests.
The predominating prices were SID for
the light hogs and S14.90 for the good
kinds averaging 225 pounds up. There
were few sales of selected lightweights
at $3.50 and the pinnacle price OF the
day was S15.15, only zoe lower than the
day before. The outside competition Tor
good pigs sold that class of stock at
the same price as others, SIS down and
sows were about 25c lower at $l4 down.
Cattle.
In proportion to the receipts Of hogs
there were fewer cattle than usual, but
apparently the run of 400 was equal to
the present requirements of the trade
and there was not an opportunity TO
realize a quotable advance in prices.
1t was admitted that the steer cattle sold
to a little better advantage than they
have for several days, but not particular
ly higher and there was much fayorahie
comment on the market for she cattle.
Indeed there were a number of estimates
indicating that the heifers and cows were
a little higher and others admitted that
any wea kness In affairs on Monday had
been fully overcome. There was cor
responding satisfactory market for bulls
and more or less advance in prices OF
calves There were more Of the best
veals sold up to $21. Feeding cattle sold
usually at the recent standard of prices,
but the demand from the rural districts
was rather limited.
SHEEP.
The Tuesday market for live mutton
stock was featured by the sale of Il
small lot of lambs at $1S.25, the highest
they have sold for nine months and
also by the sale of a small lot of strictly
choice sheep at $40. The practical top
price for lambs was SIS and for sheep So

ASK MORE PAY
FOR CITY COURT
County Board for Salary
Boost to $3.50 Per
Month -

A resolution was accepted by the
Board of County Commissioners to-
day recommending to Sumter c6un-
ty's Representatives in the State
Legislature that they ppepare and
introduce bill in the next session
raising the pay of the judge of the
City Court OF Americus IRON 5000
per month, the present salary, to
$3.50 per month, effective at the be-
ginning of the next term, January
l, 1921.
The action was taken, it was eX-
planned, because of the fact that the
Judge OF the City Court is prohibited
by law from practicing his profess
sion, and the salary now allowed,
which has remained unchanged while
the cost of living has doubled, is
entirely incommensurate with the
service rendered.
Following the action of the county
board, there was some speculation
about the courthouse this afternoon
as to what effect the action might
have on the coming primary with re-
spect to this office. Thus far Judge
W. NJ. Harper, the present judge Of
the City Court, is the only announc-
ed candidate, but it is known that
others have been discussing the de
sirability of making the race, and il
is said the only reason there has not
been at least one announcement il
opposition to Judge Harper for the
place is the fact that the salary ha.
been considered too low. Inas.
much as the recommendation OF
county delegation in local legisla
ton insures the passage of loca
bill, and it is tha usual custom OF
representatives to carry out the
wishes of official bodies, particular.
ly in matters of this sort, it would
not be surprising to many citizens
to hear of additional announcements
shortly for the office of judge of the
City Court.

WOULD EXEMPT
EX-SERVICE men
OF POLL TAXES
County BoardActs When
Assembly Failed to
Pass Bill.

All ex-soldiers will be relieved of
the payment of poll tax in Sumter
county for all years or parts of years
they were in the service, if recon-
mendation of the board of county
commissioners this morning is ac-
cepted by the comptroller general
The action of the board was taken
upon the presentation of the matter
by Stephen Pace, Chairman of the
Sumter county Red Cross chapter,
which is devoting much of its atten-
tion to the interests and welfare of
the former service men. The COM
missioners by resolution instructed
Tax Collector Small to permit all such
citizens to register and vote in the
coming primary without the payment
of poll tax that may now be due.
1t developed during the discussion
on the subject that several ex-soldiers
have already paid this poll tax, the
to refund it, and Mr.. Pace, who is
one of Sumter county's representa-
tives in the legislature, stated that it
would be his pleasure to otter a res
olution in the legislature at the next
session for the refunding Of the tax
in these cases. This procedure will
lie necessary because of the fact that
all poll tax money goes into the COM
mon school fund of the state and does
not remain in the hands of the county
for disposition.
SIT was my belief until few days
ago." said Mr.. Pace, "that the last
session of the legislature had passed
a law specifically exempting the ex-
soldiers of Georgia. Such bill was
passed by the house and sent to the
senate, and thought it had passed.
But an examination of the acts of the
assembly fails to show such law, so
l assume that it got lost in the jam
in the senate at the close of the ses-
sion, like many other bills"

BISBEE TRIALSTO
Be HARDBATTLE
Cases Result From De.
portation of Strikers
In 1917.

TOMBSTONE, ARIZ., Feb. q
The Bisbee deportation trials" set
to begin here today are expected to
develop the hardest-fought legal bat
tie in the history of Arizona. The
litigation resulted from the deporta-
ton of 1,186 striking copper mine
workers and their sympathizers from
Bisbee, Ariz., to New Mexico, on
July Il, 1917.
More than 200 defendants, among
them many of the most prominent
citizens of Bisbee and vinicity, have
been summoned to appear in the Su-
perior Court here to answer charges
of kidnapping in connection with the
deportation. Harry S. Wheeler, a
former sheriff of Cochise county,
who has taken upon himself sole re-
spOnsibility for the deportation; mine
managers, superintendent and fore
men; bankers, merchants and pro-
fessonal men are among the de-
PENDANTS.
Judge Samuel L. Pattee, of Pima
county, who has been designated to
preside, first gained prominence by
revising and codifying the laws of
Arizona after her admission to state
hood
Officials of the county attorneys
office are understood to have travelled
through many Western States gath
ering depositions from the men who
were deported.
Preliminary examinations were
held in Douglas last year. These were
followed by a trial in the Federal
Court at Tucson of 20 leaders in the
financial and industrial life of Bis
bee, Douglas and Warren on indict-
ments charging conspiracy to deprive
citizen of his rights in violation of
the penal code The defense raised
question of the courts jurisdiction
in that case and it was sustained
with the result that the trial of 200
or more, instead of the 20 alleged
leaders, was undertaken in the State
courts.
A third action is pending. 1t is
civil proceeding for damages al
legged to have been sustained by the
deported men by reason Of their
deportation.
The deportation of the 1,186 men
followed a prolonged strike in the
copper mines at Bisbee. Accusations
were printed in the newspapers of the
southwest that the strike was TO
mented by Industrial Workers of the
World for the purpose of cutting of
the production of copper needed by
the Allied and associated powers in
the war against Germany.
Sheriff Wheeler, who directed the
deportations, declared at the time
that all of the men deported were

Sl5O FUND VOTED
FOR ILLITERACY
Commissioners Appro.
pirate Half Amount
Asked For Work

An appropriation of $3.50 for or
ganlzing the illiteracy eradication
work among the whites in Sumter
county, the work to be carried on un-
der the direction of County Superin-
tend6ft McMath, was voted today by
the board of county commissioners.
The action was taken upon the re-
quest OF a delegation of officials of
the Chamber of Commerce and mem
bers of the county illiteracy commits
sion that $500 be appropriated to
employ a professional organizer to
get the classes under way, insuring
the success of the campaign to wipe
out illiteracy.
The committee was headed by
Frank Harold, who opened the dis
cussion, and he was followed by Mrs.
Elizabeth Moore, state organizer,
who told the commissioners how it
was intended to handle the work and
why a trained organizer, was needed
to insure success. She estimated that
two months would be sufficient to get
the work practically completed. She
declared the amount asked was so in
significant to the third richest coun-
ty in the United States" that she felt
embarrassed in asking it. She said
this work must not be neglected as
matter of county pride. She show
ed that the state appropriation for
the work was so small that each coun-
ty was called upon to bear its own
burden in carrying out the actual
work.
Secretary Oliver, of the board, who
is also a members of the county il
literacy commission, declared the
work of great Importance. He said
he believed the teaching of the par
ents to read and write would do more
to foster education of the children
than any other one thing, as the par
ent now illiterate, who learns to read
and write, would have it demonstrat-
ed to him or her the Importance of
educating the children.
The board members explained af-
/ ter appropriating half the amount
asked that they believed the work
could be organized and gotten well
under way in a month, and that hir-
ing an expert for two months was
not entirely necessary.
