THE PLANTERS WIN
Thursday afternoon a deal
was made at Louisville be
tween the American Tobacco
Society which will uouhtless
put an end for the lime to
ni<.'ht r iding in Kentucke
The deal was 1 etween the
tobacco trust and the organ¬
ized tobaco planters, it was
in effect a victory for the to¬
bacco planters.
Of their 1906 and 1907
crops they had pooled nearly
Ho, 000,000 pounds of Burley
tobacco. The price they were
paid for this at Thursday’s
conference was an average of
20 1-2 cents for the 1906 crop
and 17 cents for the 1907 pro¬
duct.
Five years ago the average
price received for Burley to
bacco was from 7 to 10 cents.
The planters figured that it
cost them from 7 to 11 cents
a pound to raise this crop.
They charged that there
was but one purchaser of to¬
bacco in this country—the
American Tobacco Company.
They charged that the pur¬
chase price was fixed by
company, which, they assert¬
ed, was an unlawful combina¬
tion, or trust. So the plant¬
ers foimed an organization of
their own, and they determ¬
ined to market no tobacco be¬
low the minimum and to raise
no tobacco in 1908. Then
came the night riding. It re¬
sulted from the refusal of
some planters to abide by the
decision of the society as to
the sale of tobacco and non
planting for 1908.
Apparentl) the Burley To¬
bacco Society was wonderful¬
ly well organized. For It has
succeeded.
It is likely that this success
was due to the fact that the
organization comprised the
planters in only one district
A larger territory would have
prevented such effective ac¬
tion.
The settlement between
t ie raisers of Burley tobacco
and the trust does not affect
t le situation ih the great Daik
district, the Green river dis
trict and the Henderson stem
ming district - Atlanta Geor

THE GOOD ROADS QUESTION
The crusade for good roads
is daily gathering fresh re¬
cruits throughout the United
States. Experiments are be¬
ing made by state and nation¬
al governments to increase
the mileage of i m proved
roads. The pross generally
has taken up the problem.
In discussing the matter re¬
cently, The Washing t o n
Times expresses surprise that
f
there should be a single citi¬
zen in the city or county who
was indifferent to the necessi"
ty for good roads.
It estimates that good roads
throughout the wheat belt
would mean a saving of as
much in the transportation of
every bushel of wheat from
the farm to the shipping point
as is required to transport it
Irom New York to Liverpool.
As an aid to the good roads
movement, the office of pub
lie roads of the department of
agriculture is making experi¬
ments looking to the use of
various waste materials in im¬
proving the highways. One
plan contemplates the use of
iron slag from blast furnaces
iu counection with a prepara¬
tion of common black molas¬
ses as a binder. Aonther
looks to the use of burnt gum¬
bo clay, A thtrd contem¬
plates the use of waste from
beet sugar factories.
In this day, when the utili¬
zation of waste products
means the measure of success
which meets the manufactur¬
er, such experiments may
have unexpected and most
profitable results.
If they aid in the crusade
for improved highways, they
will benefit all the people; if
they mean greater profits from
articles that are now going to
waste, the good effect will be
increased.
Eevry newly dsicovered
economy in cost of construct¬
ion or maintenance of roads
will be hailed with interest.—

Seven Years of Proof.
“1 have had seven years of
proof that Dr. King’s New Dis¬
covery is the best medicine to
take for coughs and colds and for
every diseased condition of throat
chest or lungs,” says W. V. Hen¬
ry, of Panama, Mo. The world
has had thirty-eight years of
proof that Dr. King’s New Dis¬
covery is the best remedy for
coughs and colds, la grippe, asth¬
ma, hay fever, bronchitis, hemor¬
rhage of the lungs, and the early
stages of consumption. Ite time¬
ly use always prevents the devel¬
opment of pneumonia. Sold un¬

Our Texas Letter
Greenville, Tex., Nov. 16—Ed¬
itor Murray News : I was verry
sorry to learn that you was gick,
and hope you will soon be at
your post again.
I think your assistant, who has
been getting out the paper dur¬
ing your illness, must have made
a mistake in the election news of
Murray county in last week’s is¬
sue. Now I don’t believe that
“good old Murray” went Repub¬
lican—no I don’t, so please cor¬
rect the mistake. But if it did
go Republican, that accounts for
me not getting any letters from
Liack there. I notice in one box
where just one man voted for
Bryan. God bless that man,and
if you see him, tell him to come
over Sunday and spend the day
with me and Annie, and we will
show him a good time. I wish I
knew his name. If lie cannot
come tell him to write to me. I
fear there is something wrong,
somewhere back there. I don’t
know whether to try to come
over this summer or not, though
I will not go back on anyone un¬
til I see fuither.
I haven’t got time to write
any news this time.
I will tell yon in my next let
ler what became of the two girls
I left in the grand stand at the
Dallas fair while I went in search
of a friend, from which to bor¬
row to ne money —and I made a
dead failure. Well, in the first
part of that trip 1 had a good
time, but Oh, that finish! And
then, to cap the stack, a neigh
bor lady of ours was over at the
fair on that same Sunday, and
she had to come back and tell
Annie a whole lot and tried to
make her believe that I had done
wonders, but Annie has known
me longer than the lady has and
know’s 1 am all right. If it had
been anybody but Annie I would
have got—well there’s no telling
w-hat. I sometiuils think she is
one of the best Annie’s I ever
saw. I am going to have her a
new set of front teeth put in be¬
fore long, and than I know eve¬
rything will be all O. K.
We have had some freezing
weather here and eve-ything is
killed.
The farmers are about done
picking cotton.
Greenville has received, to
date, 12 236 bales and will get
5,000 more.
Billie Fox, Steve Adams, Hei -
ry Beck and Wylie Gaither are
still alive and doing well. Bil¬
lie Fox brought in four tmles of
cotton yesterday and got 8 916a
pound. Billie is some
money and raising some pretty
girls.
Weil, f wish 1 had time to
write more but it may be that
the editor d< es not want to be
bothered so much with my let¬
ters und 1 wouldn’t blame him.
1 hope lie will be good and well
by the time this letter reaches
him.
With nest wishes to the editor
and all Tuk News readers, 1 am
y iurs truly. E. (’. Henley.
Mind Your Business.
If you don’t nobody will. It is

iousness, malaria and jaundice
out of your system. 5oe. at Ar¬
