large number of notables at the meet
ing of the National Letter Carriers
Association at Nashville in Septem
ber. Among, those mentioned are Kobt
S. Sharp, the chief postofflce inspec
tor, and the Fourth Assistant Post
master General Peter V. DeGrew.
The Rural Carriers Association has
met ' heretofore in large cities
throughout the, country, and it is a
pleasure to know that the association
is to meet in Nashville this year.
Gen. DeGraw is the official in charge
c-f all the rural carriers and the rural
routes throughout the United States,
and is very popular throughout the
entire country. Mr. Sharp, chief in
spector, is well known throughout the
entire country, and ' particularly in
South. He was born in Chattanooga, :
was for a long time postmaster in
i revenue at ..Nashville, and was then
transferred to Washington, whers he
has been chief postofflce inspector
for quite a while. , It is through his
instrumentality that many swindlers
who operate largely throughout the
United States on the mails, have
teen convicted and sentenced to 'the
penitentiary. During the past year
452 persons have been convicted and
sentenced and 571 cases are waiting
final disposition. One hundred and
fifty million dollars was estimated to
have been filched from the American
people during the last fiscal year by
these swindlers. Fifty million dol
lars a year is the amount filched by
these operations from citizens of New
York alone. Postmaster General
Hitchcock's order to the inspector to
collect evidence that would warrant
criminal prosecution of these swin
dles is gradually building a wall of
protection against such frauds. ' -

A TENNESSEE SHIPMENT BRINGS
$8.10 ON THE 8T. LOUIS
MARKET THURSDAY.
THE CROP OF FEEDERS SHORT
Record Breaking Price Comes at
Time When the Products of th
State Are Attracting Attention at
Many Market Placet.
Tennessee has profited very map '
terlally the past six months from the
shortage of hogs and cattle in 1h
middle western states and the con
sequence high price for both pork
and beef. 1
Hogs from Gibson county, thl
Btate, brought $8.10 a hundredweight
at St. Louis Thursday. This was ltt
cents higher than the highest price
paid there Tuesday, which was at
that date the highest point reached
at that market this year.
Farmers and stock raisers of the
Volunteer State appear to be waking
up to the possibilities in the way of
live-stock raising. The past six
months, according to private advices
from St. Louis the increase in cattle
consignments from Tennessee has
I been 65 per cent Shlnmenta off
hogs from this state to the St Lou!
marKei nave increased 10 per cent.
ii. the same period. ,
Up to July 1 there were 6,857 nead
of cattle and 1,094 hogs shipped
from Tennessee to St Louis.
Illinois and Missouri fell off dui
ing the same period to a startling
degree. The report says that the
falling off In those two . states la
shown by the faot that they har
not been able to furnish the St.
Louis market within 300,000 as many
hogs as they furnished the first six
months of 1911.
The report from the St. Louis mar- "
ket indicates a serious shortage In
hogs, with no relief In sight Con
sequently, prices of hogs on foot are - 1
Tint lllrolv tn Krsolr
in that section are reported as most
promising, but the supply of feeder
for the market is very low.
The following special from St.
Louis, details the facts more parti
cularly: 'Hogs, from Trenton, Tenn., sold
at the St. Louis stockyards today at
$8.10 per hundredweight- That is
higher by 10 cents per hundred- .
weight than the highest price yester
day. The hog shortage here is trow
ing serious. Some sections report
no hogs at all, although fodder and
cereal crops are looking excellent
all through Missouri and Illinois.
The live stock prospects were never
so poor as they are now. The -Mississippi
valley live stock show
to be held here in September, for
the first time, is Intended primarily
to stimulate live stock production in
tbe states of which St. Louis is the
live stock market and thus provide
in future years against a repetition
cf the. shortage of the1 hog and cat
tie supply. -"

cattle shipments to St. Louis the
first six months this year, thus se

the high prices prevailing 'here.
The increase In cattle consignments
amounted to 65 per cent and the
increase in hog shipments to 10 per '
cent
"The number of Tennessee cattle
received here up to July 1 was 6,857
head and 1,094 hogs. The" falling off
I the supply, of Missouri and Illi
nois, is shown in the fact that those
1 two states- have not been able- UK

j many hogs as they: furnished the
first six months of 1011."
