To Open Tobacco
Markets in Kentucky

Lexington, KY, Jan. 13-Loose leaf
tobacco warehousemen throughout
the Burley district tonight were re-
leased from promises to keep their
markets closed and warehouses shut
down for over n week because prices
offered were unsatisfactory to the
growers arc expected to open Janu-
airy IT.

house owners in the district held in
connection with meetings with the
growers and bankers endeavoring to
obtain satisfactory price for the
1920 crop. The vote was 80 to ~ for
opening. Markets whose votes were
for remaining closed were:
Aurora, Ind, Brookesville, Mays
vile, and Walton, KY. and two of the
three markets at Carlisle
Growers representatives, however,
in prior meeting had authorized
formation of an organization for
holding the 1920 crop until after
April IS and cutting out the 1921
crop entirely. A committee of one
man from each tobacco growing
county in Kentucky. Ohio and Indi-
ana and from four Tennessee coun-
ties was appointed to work out the

Far from Square
Deal for Negroes
Throughout Georgia

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 13.-Coincident
with the announcement that peonage
indictments had been served against
a farmer and two of his tenants, one of
whom is negro. in connection with
the death of another negro, United
States District Attorney Hooper Alex
ander in a statement today that
wrongs were being perpetrated against
negroes in this state that run all the
gamut from the meanest petty cheat
ing to deliberate and plotted murder"
He indicated that federal officers would
conduct a statewide investigation Of
conditions.
Comparatively little effort is being
made by the proper officers to end
these conditions the district attorney
said in his statement. I'm a large
proportion OF the cases judicial pro-
cesses are issued by magistrates that
are used in the most shameless manner
in the aid of crimes and the attendant
circumstances are such as should call
for the indictment for malpractice
Cases have occurred in which there
is gravest reason to fear that other
officers of the law have been active
participants in the gravest kind of
wrongs. The things of which T speak
run all the gamut from the meanest
petty cheating to deliberate and plot
ted murder. Ninety-nine per cent. of
our people would utterly deplore and
condemn what is going on, but some
thing mere is demanded of civilized
people and their government than mere
sentiment. If the people of the state
permit TIE continuance of conditions
that now prevail. sooner or later, and
i'll soma way, we will suffer dreadful
retribut on
