BV Chas. A. Edwards. The bill recently introduced by Mr. Gaines, Tennessee, for the «• lief of tobacco growers, and th« vigor with which he is urging it, is awakening much interest. It «• peah all taxes and restrictions on free and unlimited trade in leaf 10 bacco and permits anybody, any' where, to buy and sell it in anj quantity. It provides also that a grower may stem ard twist aiu sell his own crop without ta* or li cense, or deliver it to another per son to sell for him. The heavy tax on le.if tobacco (si* cents) an«l the rigid and exacting requirements of the law regulating its manufac tare have given the tobacco trusl complete control ol tobacco and growers are complaining every where that they arc not allowed a living price for growing it. Mr, Gaines has gone laboriously through the history of tobacco tai legislation and found that at its in' ception it was distinctly and repeat edly stated that it was only a wai measure and would be remi ted when the war necessities subsided. All of those war measures have been remitted except this burden on tobacco growers. Under exist ing law the department rigidly holds that the least change in the form of raw tobacco as it comes out of the bam is " If a farmer stems a hand. 01 twists or presses it, or in any wise changes it from its form in the nat ural band, he becomes a manufac turer and must either take out a li cense and conform to the various and onerous requirements of the taw, or he is prosecuted and fined and imprisoned as a felon. He is not permitted to prepare his Own product far market nor participate in any profits The law delivers him bodily over to the trust. To bacco growers everywhere are urg ing the relief afforded by Mr. Gaines bill. gabacrib: for Toa&tfftßratsft After Tke Stem , BY B. S COW IKG With pleasure I watched for the dawn of the moraine. With the bright son chasing the dnrk- Coloring the East with rapture adoraiag. And bearing the tidings of anew bora day. I saw the first ray as it fell oa the bouse top. Which peeped through the wiwdow and painted the wall With patches of gold that were fresh from a fountain. As deep as the earth and free to ns all. It's light then fell on the field and the garden. And the forest that was tangled by the great autumn storm. The hay stacks that were torn from their place in the meadow. Were kissed by the sunbeams that were genial and warm. King mocking bird sat high up in the peach tree, , Waiting to be warned by the bright Autumn rays. Which soon were to cover the srarid with their beauty. He merrily chanted an anthem of praise. - Higher .yet higher .he carefully mounted, As the ray* of the ion were still shill ing dim. Vet, there leaped from hia throat the sweetest of music. As if the joys of the world depended on him. The songs of all the birds of the forest From his wide-open-throat would ua ueasingly fall. In gratitude to the Giver of blessings. He _ unselfishly sought to give thanks for them all. k Virj Nasi Cad "I stuck to my engine, although every joint ached and every nerve was racked with pain," writes C. W. Bellamy, a locomotive fireman, of Burlington. la. "I was weak and pale, without any appetite and all run down.

Sow Ran Away With Buggy It often occurs that a horse or mule will take a notion to run away and break a buggy or wagon; and the writer has heard of oxen running away and breaking up things, but for a sow to run away with a fel lows' buggy and brake out three s]iokcs is one on him. But such is an actual fact. J,ast Saturday a week ago at the home of Henry 1). Taylor, one of Martin County's young and prosperous farmers, his old sow ran away with his buggv and broke out three spokes. He did not have her hitched to the buggy either. He sent a negro boy to the carriage shed for some thing aud the boy found the hog there; when the boy weut under the shed, the hog weut out and | with her Henry's buggy, she was 1 too high to pass under the axle ;and caught it on her neck, and being in a pretty big hurry to get lout never stopped to leave the | buggy until she had carried it | across the lot. tun it against the | fence aud knocked out the spokes, j With a little patience and proper training Henry might make a good ! roadster of her yet. Yon need'nt ex ] pect to see liiiri driving her to town anytime soon though, for he is I still a little sore about those brokeu i spokes.

Farmers, Producers and Consumers of Tobacco In Marin County, I Have Offered Ths Following Bill in Congress H. R. 3574 "A Bill for the Relief of the Farmers and Tobacco Growers of the United States." Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Con gress assembled, that farmers and growers of tobacco shall hereafter have the right to sell tobacco in the raw or unadulterated, of their own growth, in any quantity, either in the leaf, twist, or such other form as they may wish, free from any tax or charge, or being in any manner subject to any statutory regulation on the part of the Gov ernment of the United States. All statutes in conflict herewith are hereby repealed." Its paseage will prevent the ar bitrary fixing of the price of raw leaf, or the manufactured product. It will be an equitable, automatic governor of prices, protecting pro ducer aud consumer, and working no injury to the manufacturer, who is satisfied with a egitimatel profit on his capital. This bill has been endorsed by the White Burley To bacco Growers Association of Ken tucky, the only organization of To bacco Growers in the United States, Every member of the Kentucky Delegation in Congress is enthusi astically supporting it, but there is no influence so potent before Con gress as a direct petition from the people. I want one hundred thous and citizenr to petition Congress through their Member, urging the passage of this bill. Blank peti tions will be furnished upon appli cation. Your hearty co operation is most earnestly desired. Very respectfully, SOUTH TRIMBLE 7th Kentucky -District. Coigritilitiois Mr. John H.
