FIRE AT DAWSON.
Part Of the Business Section Of
that Little City Burned
Monday Morning.
ORIGIN OF THE FIRE IS UNKNOWN.

A fire originating in Creek
mur's butcher shop at Dawson
Springs about 2 o'clock Monday
morning resulted in the loss Of
property to the extent of several
thousand dollars. The fire swept
everything clean between the
Handy House and Ed Hayes
dry goods store. The principal
sufferers are Roy Scott, restau-
rant and confectionery; Dawson
Salt & Water Company; Price &
CLARK, druggists; Drew's saloon,
and Mr.. Creekmur, the owner of
the meat shop.
The entire stock of drugs and
the building occupied by Price &
Clark was a total loss, az they
had no insurance.
The stock of Roy Scott was in
sured for 1915, which was only
about half its value. The
building he occupied was owned
by N. M. Holeman and was also
insured to about half its value.
The building in which Drew's
saloon was located was the prop
erty of Hooser & Cash and was
insured for 5000. The stock was
uninsured and was total loss.
The buildings and fixtures of
Creekmur's meat market were a
total loss, being uninsured.
The machinery of the Dawson
Salt & Waterworks was moved
out of the fire and was damaged
but little.
1t looked for awhile as if Ham
by's Hotel must go in spite of
the heroic efforts put forth to
save it. The furniture was all
moved from the house and some
of it was badly damaged in this
manner. The fire was finally put
under control and the only loss
to Mr.. Handy will be the dam
age done in moving his furniture.
1t was also very difficult to
prevent the dry goods store of
Ed Hayes from burning. Mr..
Hayes carries a large stock and
it was badly damaged by moving
and by water. He carries good
insurance, however, and will no
doubt make his losses good.
The origin of the fire is un-
known.

soms SUGGESTIONS OFFERED,

A writer in the Hopkinsville
Kentuckian contributes some
suggestions calculated to help
the farmer overcome the Difficult
ties that confront him in the
unhealthy tobacco situation,
brought on by overproduction
and the manipulation of the mar
ket by the tobacco trusts. For
the benefit of our readers who
are interested In this subject we
reprint this communication in
full, as follows:
"The tobacco problem seems
to be assuming definite shape in
some localities, and if it becomes
general with planters throughout
the dark district, conditions will
soon be reversed and the trust
along with export buyers will
soon be as anxious to sell. "No
ore ever gets pay for forcing in
articles on buyers. Now to the
point as adopted by planters in
other localities:
1st. Call neighborhood meet
ings.
End. Organize and call county
meetings.
3rd. Call district meetings.
4th. Agree first not to sell at
present low prices.
9th. Let your tobacco hang in
barns or strip and prize in good
order, roll away in barns or de-
liver to warehouses, when you
can get as much advanced on il
as you would to sell it at present
prices.
9th. Don't prepare any plant
land.
7th. Don't plant any tobacco.
9Th. Hold present crop until
you get three times present val
ues, thereby giving yourself a
rest from, and your land a
chance to recover from it's i'm
poverished condition.
Planters, grow instead of to-
bacco, corn, cabbage, potatoes,
onions, beans, tomatoes, which
you can always sell. Take a
rest, live easy, and let the trust
sweat. In your meetings petit
aion Congress to remove tax on
raw leaf, allowing planters to sell
their tobacco to consumers and
dealers in any quantity in natur-
al state, either leaf or twist"
