CIGARETTE PAPERS.

Pitcher Hudson, of the Paducah X.

for Pulaski, Tenn, his home to APP
pear in court Monday for giving away
cigarette pspers with smoking to-
bacco.
Hudson was employed in grocery
store as clerk in Pulaski and among
the general merchandise handled, to-
bacoo was an item. The state laws
in Tennessee prevent any one giving
away papers with cigarette tobacco
and this is what Hudson did. He was
arrested and released on $500 bond

cuted, the burden of the fine IL one is
assessed, will fall on the proprietor.
He will be gone several days and will
not make the trip TO Poplar Bluff

Mrs. Warner further alleges that
Pritchard robbed her OF her diamond
ear rings and three hundred dollars in

THE TIDE TURNS
AGAINST PARKER
McClelland and Williams Tipped
as Nominees.
tD..-1, ut. - 49,.
Democrats Realize the Impossibility
Of Hearst, and See Bolt IL
Parker 10 Named.
PLENTY OF TIME YET

Washington, April so-Georgo b.
Mcclellan Of New York, for president
and John Sharp williams OF Missis-
sippi for vice president. This is the
ticket for the Democracy as figured
out by the political experts here, who
have kept careful tab on the events of
the last few days. These men say
Hearst is an impossibility, and that
his nomination would result in the
dirtiest and most vulgar personal cam
paign ever inflicted upon the American
people. They also argue that Hearst
and Bryan will prevent the nomins-
tion Of Parker, or at least display
such hostility that il will be insanity
to nominate him. Therefore, new men
must be found, and Mcclellan and
Williams are said to AL ths bill most
admirably.
McClelland would, of course. have
the hacking of Tammsny and would
be strong in New York, Indiana and
In the south. 1t held that Bryan
could not withhold his support of the
young mayor on any grounds what
ever. AS a running mate John Sharp
Williams, splendid orator, polished
gentleman aud keen statesman, would
make most desirable candidate at
the other end Of the ticket. His nom.
ination would create tremendous en-.
thusiasm in the south. He is popular
in Washington and has the respect OF
all the big Republican leaders.
The nomination of these men would
insure dignified and clean campaign,
free from red ink and muf Singing.
Politicians here who have the ability
to peer into the future, say it will be
well to keep this combination in mind

BECKHAM COUNTY
GETS BLACK EYE
Case Sent Back by Court of APP
peals for Trial.
Murdervrs Convicted at Mumford-
ville-School Tournament on
at Marion.
OTHER STATE N e W 5

Frankfort. Ky, April SO-The
court of appeals, in an opinion by
Judge Hobson. reversed the Garter
circuit court in the case Of thinner
man VS. Brooks and Zimmerman &
Brooks VS. Carter county, involving
constitutionality of act creating Beck
ham county.
The court sends the case back for
trial, holding that the court erred in
refusing to allow the petition OF Car
ter county to be fled, and in institut-
ing demurrer to the plaintiffs petit
tion. The court holds further:
First-No county from which any
part of the territory is taken must be
reduced to less than 400 square miles.
2. The new county must not be Of
not less than 400 square miles.
8. The boundary line must not pass
within less than ten miles of county
seat of any county from which por-
tion of territory is taken.
4. No county from which any part
of territory is taken shall be reduced
less than $4,000 Inhabitants
8. New county must contain l2, 900
inhabitants.
After laying down these rules and
discussing the act lucidly, the court,
in remsnding the case for proof, says;
"If any of these conditions are
wanting the act is in violation Of the
constitution and void"
The courts thus holds that the
showing made in these cases, if cor
rect, is that there is not sufficient ter
ritory out Of which to form the new
county, and that IL this be true, thu
act is illegal The court quotes from
reports Of the state board of equaliza
ton and from the state agriculture
department, showing that there is no

counties of Garter. Elliott and Levi
from which another county can b.
formed, and if an actual survey nov
shows this to be true, the act mus
be declared illegal and void.
