THE many friends Of Judge Charley
kincaid are delighted at the great
success he is making of his hotel col
umn in the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Judge Kincaid has the happy faculty
IF remembering names and faces of
everyone he meets and can make him
self SO agreeable that one never for
gets him. He visits the prominent
hotels in Cincinnati every night, and
as he never makes note, one would
think him only enjoying social chats
with the guests. But the clever little
Kentuckian is jotting down in his era
MUM every word uttered, as his col
umn next morning goes to prove. No
young man in this state is better liked
than is Charley Kincaid.

Town Loses.

The Advocate SAYS the Court of APP
peals has affirmed t.. ,..-c'siOn OF the
Boyle Circuit CouF. iu IA G; Of the
Town of Danvilic Is; ,le lyle
Fiscal Court.
When the cCu1 y lvL,ht lie turn
pixies, several q. Tia t':r' PIKE, c-.tend-
ed into or entirely thrL, i Ic city OF
Danville. Before the road Wire freed.
the turnpike companies kept up their
city property with the exception of
that portion of Main street between
S ,cond and Fourth streets.
When the county purchased the
roads. the city assumed that the
county would carry out the existing
arrangementSandk keep up the property
previously maintained by the turnpike
companies. whether in the town or
outside of it. This the county court
declined to do, claiming that Danyille
should keep up its streets.
The town brought suit asking that
the Fiscal Court be made to keep up
those portions of the road. The county
entered demurrer and the court sus-
tanned it. Judge Saufley ruling in sub
stance that it was the duty of the city
to keep up the roads in its limits. The
city carried the case to the Court of
Appeals.
The county court. in its brief to the
Court of Appeals, asked the higher
court to also express an opinion as TO
whether or not the county had the
power to acquire or purchase those
portions Of the turnpikeS within the
city of Danvile, and declined to set
/ tie with the owners until this point
had been decided.
AS this question was not before Judge
Saufley. it was not expected that the
Court of Appeals would take notice of
| it. and there was nothing i'm the daily
papers of last evening concerning it.
The ADVOCATE this morning wired
Mr.. George l.. Willis, the well-knOwn
Frankfort correspondent, asking him
I to see if there was anything in the
opinion about this right of the county
to buy the roads inside of the town.
j. L. Newman replied for Mr.. Will
lis. He telegraphed as follows:
FRANKFORT, Feb. 1.-THE Opin-
ion says nothing about the right of
the county to buy the roads in the
city limits. 1t simply afiirmS the de-
cisiOn of the Circuit Court in suS-
tanning the demurrer. j. l.. n.
County Attorney Harding is out OF
town and could not be asked if he
thought the court would wait longer
before settling with the turnpike COM
panieS.
| There are not SO many Obje ;tiOnS to
the city keeping up the streets, but
most people believe the county should
pay for all the property purchased
The decision means about ten cents
more of city taxes on Danville proper

evidence OF the correctness OF my II, 0oo,o0o
crop estimate, which I fully confirm. A
killing frost would do little or no harm, there

tured In every State. We can not expect re-
ceipts large enough 10 really represent the
crop until the fields are pretty well cleared
OF the quantity OF open cotton with wnicn
they are still more OF lees encountered" We
have adhered for weeks past 10 the belief that
the demand for spot cotton In this country
would materially lit the price. and while
this has been realized largely to date, we
anticipate a much higher level than thus far
attained. The advance IN Southern markets
today has been from isc to NC Southern spot
markets have been improving lately with
little or no encouragement from Liverpool
and the continent and now that the former
has taken the bulls by the horns the South
will advance their own prices even more rap
idly. Mr.. N. j. Hatcher OF Macon. Ca, an
expert on cotton crops and Identified In that
connection for the past twenty years or more,
telegraphed us today a. follows ~ esti-
mate the crop at $500. 0e0 maximum. perhaps
100000. II Is the shortest crop in eeery State
have ever known.
Mr.. Ellison. the English authority on tho
worlds consumption Of cotton, stated in his
annual report. published few days ago, that
the world consumed II 200 000 bales OF cotton
the past season. OF all kinds, OF 500 pounds
each, against q consumption the previous
season Of l1,3aa,o0o. n all kinds. Of the same
weight. He estimated the consumption Of
American cotton this season at about l0,'oO.-
1t can be seen TO what an extent the worlds
spindles are adapted to the use OF American
cotton. and. therefore. what demand there
is for cotton grown In this country and how
essential 1t Is for the peace, happiness and
prosperity OF the worlds cotton mills. We
repeat our estimate published In our letter or
