MEN RAISE PIN MONEY.

Owensboro, KY, March 9-This
county boasts of two women, mother
and daughter, who are successful grow
ers of tobacco. They are Mrs. @. +.
Mechanism and her daughter, Msuo,
who reside in the Yelvington neigh
borhood. They were in town the 9TH
err day with load of tobacco. which
they took to the auction house and dis
posed of in the usual way. The load
weighed something over 1,20o pounds,
and sold by the hundredweight at 80
for leaf, 81 for Tugs and 80 for trash.
This particular lot was grown by
Miss Maud Mechanism on something
less than an acre of ground, and the
time devoted to IL was the spare inter
walls between household duties. Miss
Mechanism is a rosy.cheeked girl of go
and of attractive appearance. She has
all the advantages of an ordinary edu-
cation and is shrewd business wo-
man.
The product of the eight-acre crop
will provide them with all the neces-
sary money for their wants for Q year
and the other crops which they raise
come in the nature of clear profit.
They are not only earning their own
living, but are sccumlating money in
the bank.

ELECTRICITY IN CARS.
A NEW METHOD INAUGURATED
IN NEW YORK.

New York, March 9-Representa-
itves from many railroads have wit
messed a successful demonstration Of q
device for lighting railroad cars with
The invention was tested
on run over the New York Central
to Croton and return, and the system
will shortly be adopted.
The light is generated by dynamo
operated by a bolt connected with the
axle Of the car. When the train stops
the lights are supplied from storage
batteries in the car. A speed OF only
12 miles an hour is needed to generate
sufficient electricity to light the
lamps. The surplus obtained at q
higher rate of speed is used to .echarge
the batteries.
The car used in the test was equipp-
ed with 23 lamps of is candle power
each. During the trip 46 stops were
made and no appreciable difference
was noticed in the brillisncy of the
lights.

Mr.. ]. D. Wood. who is now here
attending the miners convention as a

considered a likely candidate for the
legislature from Muhlenberg county.
There were ten Democratic candidates
last week, but some Of the Central
City men now here say the chief can

drsval was only a sequel to the joke.
1t seems to be the prevailing opin-
ion that Mr. Wood will receive the
Democratic nomination and is hoped
by the Democrats to draw enough
votes from the Republicans, many of
whom are miners, to elect him.
Mr.. Wood has just been reelected a
national committeeman, and would
have to resign the place in

the assumption of the phrase was well

twelve million dollars; to its income
nearly five million dollars; and to its

The total assessment of Paduoah,
however, will be Just about esq, 900
short of nine million dollars, quite an
increase over last year. The supervis-
ors have had q great deal Of work, and
have been in session since the first
Monday in January, over two months.
Ii is uderstood that they will recon-
mend in their report to the council.
that the city inaugurate the regular

not only facilitate the work of the AS
SCISSOR and supervisors, but IL is be.
lieved will as well increase the total
assessment Of the city to about sl5,.
900, 900, nearly double what it now is.
This system has never been in vogue
here. II is something similar to the
rating of the city by insurance coupa-
uies. Each block is taken separately,
and the property rated at so much a
foot, and improvements separately at
whatever they justify, and each piece
OF real estate may then be assessed on
a uniform scale. instead Of arbitrarily.
The principal difference would b. that
now the assessments are based on the
Judgment largely of the assessor and
supervisors, while the other way It
would be done by a regular scale. rule
or measurement.
One Of the supervisors today said
that change was also needed In the
assessment Of personal property. Only
a small per cent Of the personal prop
erty is assessed in Paducah, and It
makes a vast reduction in the total
assessment, which is the basis Of taxa
tion.

1t is the same way with watches,
and other kinds OF taxable
property that nothing is ever paid on.
It is believed that the system pro-
posed BY the supervisors will rece i've
favorable consideration from the leg
