I'HE BT TLLETIN'S S
The Election
Messrs. Longenecker and Eby Are
Elected School Directors and
Eli Williams Constable
And the next day it snowed.
The election passed off very
quietly in our borough yesterday
which is accounted for by the few
contests, The school director and
high constable fights were uninter-
esting as the workers were few—
there being not even a watcher in
sight at either poll all day. There
were 161 votes polled in the West
ward to 148 in the East ward, near-
ly all of which were “split tickets.”
The vote is appended :

Would Make Vagrants Work
In his recent report to the county
Commissioners, County Controller
Eshleman recommends that vag=
rants at the prison be compelled
to work. There is a stone quarry
on the county farm and the Con-
troller thinks that the bums should
be used in operating the same. In
this manner they would assist to
defray the expenses of keeping and
save several thousands of dollars
to the county annually.

LE THAT OR
Buyers On The Jump
The Buying of the 1907 Crop is
Fully Under Way, Although
Confined to a Large Fx-
tent to County
Packers.
Buying of the new leaf tobacco
crop of Lancaster county may now
be said to have fairly opened,
though not many of ‘the local pack-
ers are among the buyers. Repre-
sentatives of the big foreign com-
binations have again as during the
past few years started the buying.
The local packers say they are in
| no hurry to buy, as there will be
| enough to go around. As they are
» | still loaded up with 1906 tobacco,
Lit is doubtful if many eonld buy if
| they would, having no warehouse
room, to say nothing of other po-
[ tential reasons. There been
[no improvement in prices, and in-
| dications are the prices ruling now
[from 8 to 10 cents will continue
until all the erop is bought, There
are some farmers who take this
medicine with wry face. They
were paid 16 cents last year, and
i they claim this year’s erep is just
| as good. If they would reflect a
{ moment and consider that much of
that high priced tobacco is still in
| the warehouses and 'is unsaleable
because of the price packers must
ask to get out whole, they would
not blame the buyer for this year’s
crop. At the price offered farmers
are getting more for the crop than
for any other raised on the farm.
It looks as if there would be very
active buying the remainder of this
month; and that the warehouses
would be open to receive tobacco
before March 1. That numbers of
growers are not satisfied with the
priees now offered is ‘evidenced by
the reports of the purchase of to-
bacco cases by growers who intend
to pack their own crops, expecting
to get. more out of them that way.
The packers admit that their first
estimates of the crop, based on
rumors, have been changed by in-
spection of a good deal of tobacco,
and they say now that there will
be a good deal of R's.
The aggregate of the sales by
Lancaster packers of 1906 goods
the past week was not large, nor
can an active market be expected
until buyers and packers get to-
gether on prices by mutual con-
cessions. 8
The cigar industry appears to be
bracing up a trifle, but the great
trouble is that payments are so
slow.
