PEE DEE, KY.
Ed. SOUTH KENTUcKIAN {;

We have plenty of rain at last.
The tobacco was never known to i'm
prove so much as in the last ten days,
we had no rain in July nor August,
yet we have a better corn crop than
last year. Notwithstanding the low
prices in wheat there will be a full
crop planted this fall.
Mr.. j. G. Marques, our popular
merchant at Pee Dee, will start east
about the 18th of this month TO buy
his fall stock. lie will leave his
business in charge of our town beauty,
Pete Luttrell.
Mr.. j. 1. Longacrc has full stock
dry goods and groceries which he is
selling cheap for cash.
The Main street hotel is having
good trade at this time.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. II. Sonthall are at
Dawson Springs. They will spend
a few days with their son DR.. j. A.
Sonthall at Hanson before they return
home.

Mr.. Bud Ford the gas vendor at
Pee dee, has not been so well since
the picnic OF Mr.. Harrison's. Joe
Farnsworth also looks little pale.
Well our primary elections nearly
here. l know but men who pro-
pose to vote against Mckenzie. | sec
no reason why any man in this county
should turn his back on Jim McKen-
zie. There seems to be more opposi-
ton to him in Hopkinsville than in
the whole county besides. Some Of
the business men of that place oppose
him. Now we sing that same song
TO you that you sang TO us last win
ter when Clarksvllle was taking
tobacco from your market. You
said stand by your home market, if
you do sacrifice a little. Well l
agreed with you in that. Now / ask
you to stand by your county man
when you know he is the best man
on the track. Quinine jim will come
in ahead now "don yuo for get it."
Merry.

SALMON-POACHlNG.
How This Unlawful Business Is Carried
On In Canada.

How This UniuWtul BuslneS5 Is thrricu
On In Canada.
The unlawful act which the wardens
most carefully guard against is drift
ing" One or two poachers will steal
out at night carrying peculiarly-made
net in their canoes. They stretch this
across the head of pool and it is so
weighted and buoyed that it stands
upright reaching nearly to the bottom.
As the current causes the net to drift
down stream, one canoe stays at each
end to keep it straight. There is usu-
ally a white rope at the bottom of the
net. Seeing this, the salmon raise
themselves "A little, only to be caught
by the gills in the meshes. When the
shaking of the net shows that one is
caught, the poacheP quickly paddles to
the spot. raises the net, kills the fish
with blow on its head and throws it
into the canoe. In this sneaking way
nearly all the salmon in pool may be
netted out in night. If the wardens
happen to come along in their
dug-outs, they try to seize tho
and identify the poachers. Then there
may be fight, and perhaps a canoe
will be SINK, and Il poacher or warden
will get cold bath. On one river, the
poachers used to station II boy on an
Island below them, with u horn which
he blew whenever the wardens APP
preached One of the latter was so
active that the .poachers resolved to
punish him. They took an old worth
less net and stretched it out into the
river from rock on the bank. Arope
was rove through the netand the shore
end made fast over pulley to the
traces of a horse. A boy stood beside
tho horse, and two poachcrs in canoe
held the outer end of the net. Down
came the warden, polling along in his
dug-out. and pulled the end of the net
away from the seeming unwilling
poachers. He began taking it in his
dug out, congratulating himself on his
prize, and had hauled it halfway in
when the boy on shore struck the
horse, which started on full gallop
up the bank. jerking the net after it.
In flash the net was pulled out Of the
dug-out, the latter upset, and the
astonished warden pitched into the
river. But l hope the poachers were
punished in their turn. For if these
iawless moA had their way, there would
be no salmon left in the rivers, and no
such glorious sport as tly-fsbing. 49,

The stomach as a Gasometer.

In the dyspeptic stomach impure gases
are generated, after meals, that distend and
distress it, as well as the bowels. The best
carminative for cramps, colicky pains and
heartburn or bilious quotations, is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. Carbonate of soda
and etferyescing aperents are far inferior to
it in efficacy, and as physicians now under
stand. impair the tone of the stomach.
Coplous libations of any sort are injurious
to the stomach, and to dilute its juices is
certainly not the way to increase their
digestive usefulness. Aided by the Bitters,
the digestive organs, when enfeebled and
disordered, regain their lost tone and regu-
larity, not, of course, Immediately, but
with degree of rapidity highly indicative
of the excellence of the remedy. 1t has
the further effect OF regulating the bowels
and liver, protecting the system against
malaria, relieving rheumatism and neural
gia, and increasing constitutional vigor.

The Winters E.rmess saws:

Upper" higher" and interior California
are new names suggested for that portion of the
State hitherto called northern. As a native
Californian, born in southern, raised in
northern" and living IN central California,
we are opposed to this nomenclature We be-
lieve in California as we do in the Union-one
and undivisibie-and shall stand up for just
this, and only this.
The editor of the Express SAYS that after
having lived in southern and northern
California he is now living in " central Cal
ifornia." If this designation is proper and
necessary TO state the facts concerning his
various residences, why is it not proper for
general purposes? and why does he use it
to point out his present geographical loca-
ton? If he blots out this method of
designation, and adopts the one and indi-
visible plan suggested by him, then he
would say | was born in California,
raised in California, and am now living in
California" This would not furnish the
faintest idea as to what portion of the
State-770 miles long and $50 wide-these
important events had occurred in, nor in
fact, that they had not all taken place in
one locality. The same area of territory
along the Atlantic coast is designated by the
names of not less than ten States or three
grand geographical divisions, known as
New England, Middle and Southern States.
Surely it is not OVERRIDING the matter to
divide California, for convenience in desg-
mating different portions of its vast extent,
into three corresponding natural divisions

HE recent accident to Charles Croker
in New York caused deep anxiety to his
many friends here. Mr. Crocker is
one of the historic men of California.
His name and energy and business capacity
Is interviewer with the greatest industrial
achievements and most stirring activities
of this State. One Of the men who hewed
the way in this west, who foresaw the
possibilities of the coast and acted upon
his Judgment, he became public figure in
California's progressive march. ANY sud
den injury to such man would naturally
attract attention and awaken sincere regret
throughout the State while it would be
a shock to the host of friends who have
done battle with him in California for so
many years. They will be gratified to
know, as the dispatches now announce, that
he is out of danger. For some DAYS the
more anxious of his friends read danger
between the lines of the dispatches re-
garding his condition. They will be free
from anxiety now, and have reason to ex-
pect his speedy complete recovery.

for them selves the food which is thrown to
them as a hone is to dog" Very true.

THE Governor has appointed as Com
missioners to manage Golden Gate Park,
San Francisco, r. ?. Hammond, .Jr., Joseph
Austin and General W. H. Dimond. 1t
was to be expected that Governor Stone
man would nominate to this important
trust majority representing his own po-
litical faith. The Governor has chosen
men fit to succeed the late Commissioners,
Messrs. Pixley, Rosenfeld and Goodall
whose administration will not, therefore.
be rebuked by the new Commissioners,
since they are men of taste, good judg-
ment, and are thoroughly representative
citizens. Mr.. Hammond is Surveyor Cen
eral Of the United States for California by
appointment of the President He repre-
sents the young Democracy of the State, is
the man TO whose taste the fine landscape
gardening at the Del Monte grounds is
largely due. He is thus, besides being a
civil engineer, practical landscape
gardener. and therefore comes to his
new trust with especial qualifications
Joseph Austin is one of the oldest citizens
OF San Francisco, and pioneer Democrat
He was for twenty years a Port Warden at
San Francisco, and has filled the office of
Tax Collector of that city, and otherwise
testified to broad executive ability. Cen
|eral Dimond is commercial representa-
tive, an experienced ex-officer of the regu-
lar army, an enthusiastic member of the
Grand Army of the Republic, and at pres
ent Commander of the LOYAL Legion, and
commands the Second Brigade of the Ma
tional Guard If California. General
Dimond is sterling Republican He is
man of cultured tastes and strong executive
power. These appointments, therefore, do
credit to the good judgment of the State
Executive, and give warrant for the belief
that Golden Gate Park, that in broad
sense is property in which all the people
of the State take pride and have living
interest," will be administered well, and
the liberal policy of the retiring Republi-
can Board be conserved.
