vile need more than factories and
mills?
What do the farmers raise-tobacco
for? 1t is not consumed here, but is
sent all over the world,
The cotton mills are gradually
being moved from the East to the
South on account of strikes and
many other troubles, and the
owners Of the mills want to manu-
fracture cotton fabrics where the
raw material is raised or near the
fields.
The mills would not only bring in
fifty skilled workmen from the East,
but would educate in a few years
hundreds of our young men in an
entirely new business, besides giving
employment to hundreds Of young
women who can not obtain employ
ment in the stores, millinery estab-
lshments, offices or any other de-
partment Of business. Many of
them can't marry because Their
sweethearts are unable to obtain
employment remunerative enough
to support them. So both young
men and maidens are just simply
existing.
A certain store about a nonth ago
advertised for so lady clerks. Three
times that many applied for posi-
tlons. Whereas if we had factories
where women are employed they
could find regular employment at
far better wages.
There is an old adage that says,
There are always two sides to ev-
cry question. We have endeavored
to give the opinions of men on both
sides. While standing pat on our de-
termination not to be the tool of any
clique or ring of grafters, but al
ways on the side of the people, we
feel constrained to let our readers
and their friends decide for them
selves as to whether they will en-
courage the proposed enterprise by
taking stock in it, or continue,
Micawber like, to longer wait for
something to turn up" before they
get into the swim.

Large Attendance Yester-
day at County Commit
tees Session
TEREE-YEAR PLEDGES
Loose Tobacco Can Be Deliv-
cred TO Imperial Tobacco
Company

The tobacco raiser was much in
evidence yesterday. They were here
from all parts Of the county and are
highly enthusiastic over the outlook
for the year 1906.
The meeting was called to order
by County Chairman w. w. Radford,
whc, while he spoke of some dis
couc cagements that have to be met
by the association, spoke encour-
agingly of the future of the organi-
zation. He impressed upon the mem
bers, who filled nearly every seat in
the circuit court room, the absolute
need Of loyalty to the association,
and their duty to use their influence
to get every tobacco grower to unite
with them in the fight that is before
them, though the victory has already
been won.
He said that the association has
established a market in Europe that
cannot be taken from it. They like
the way the associations prizers, put
up and assort the tobacco better
than anything they have ever had
before, and they want more of it.
Farmers may prize their own tobac-
co if they prefer it, but he is posi-
tive the weed will bring at least a
dollar more money if they will turn
it over to the prizers contracted with
by the committee for this county.
He said that the association now
has enough tobacco pledged to con-
troll the market and higher prices
will be obtained for the next crop.
One of the main points brought
out by Chairman Radford was that
the members have the right to sell
their tobacco loose and deliver it to
the Imperial Tobacco Company in
this city. When a member wants to
sell his tobacco loose all he has to do
is to notify Chairman Radford and
he will furnish a man to go with the
representative of theaImperial and
they will go to the farmers barn
and agree as to =price. The trade
is closed and delivery is in order.
AS to lugs, Mr. Radford says the
Association has a positive contract
for every pound of lugs that the
members may raise, aud at prices
that will be far in advance of any
thing they have received for lugs
for long time.
DR.. d. A. Amoss, of Caldwell
county, was present, and at the re-
quest of Mr.. Radford addressed the
meeting. Mr.. Amoss gave a brief
history of the Association in his
county. Its discouragements are
due down in Caldwell to the fact
the enemies are persistent in their
efforts to break up the organization
and circulate all kinds of stories for
the purpose. He has been working
for twelve months and is determined
to fight to the finish.
Pledges were asked for the 1906
crop, and it was made known that
the pledge was to be for three
years. 1t was expected that every
farmer in the room would pledge
but our forms went to press
too early to permit our giving the
number Of signatures.

men say" and when the "I-told-you
so" calls he will have no grievance
against us.
Some af our people say that this
mill, if secured, will be only one of
many other great things we are to
have when the street cars are run
ming and the belt-line road is built.
1t will give employment to 200
white people, whereas every recent
improvement has more particularly
benefited the colored population
and our future increase in popula-
ton should be white.
Why should men loan their money
at 6 per cent. when they are. assured
If our own people have not the
money to start great enterprises,
how can they ever get them if they
do not offer some other inducement
other than exemption from city
taxes for five years?
Why should an inland town be Sc
lected for Eastern industries when
there are so many other towns in
the South with both railroads and
river to furnish low rates on raw
material?
Here are some assertions that
have been made:
Hopkinsvllle's proximity to ex-
hausUless coal fields, with timber OF
all kinds near at hand, should al
tract caplCal.
The l. Z. is desiTous Of taking the
city INTO partnership and Will give
Une cotton mills the lowest freight
rate IN existence anywhere in the
United States.
A reduction in rates for raw ma
terial coming in and the product Of
the mills going out will eventually
bring about a areduction in all freight
rates.
Of course Hopkinsville and Chris
tian county can no more consume
the product of the mills than they
can the output of the canning fac
tory, our cigar and tobacco facto-
ries, the many things manufactured
by the greatest or all our industries
the Forbes Manufacturing Co.; the
WORK of the steam laundry is not, by
leo per cent, furnished by the city
and county, to say nothing of the
trade that comes to our merchants
from other towns and counties.
None of the products would be
sold here, but would find their way
into the large cities along the lines
of the l. c., going into the hands of
jobbers, then they would be shipped
back here to the retailers.
The l. c. wants to haul all the
freight it can get from HOpkinsville
to any place it may be ordered, then
why should it not give low freight
rates?

KNITTED

An old soldier, released from coffee
at 72, recovered his health and tells
about it as follows:
ST stuck to coffee for years, although
it knitted me again and again.
about eight years ago (as result
of coffee drinking which congested my
nver), I was taken with very severe
attack of malarial fever.
81 would apparently recover and
start about my usual work. only to suf-
fer a relapse. After this had been re-
peated several times during the year
was again taken violently i'll.
"The doctor said he had carefully
studied my case and it was either quit
coffee or de- advising me to take
Postum in it's place. I had always
thought coffee one of my dearest
friends, and especially when sick, and
l was very much taken back by the
doctors decision for hadn't suspected
the coffee drank could possibly cause
my troubles.
st thought it over for few minutes
and finally told the doctor I would
make the change. Postum was pro-
cured for me the same day and made
according to directions; well, / liked it
and stuck to it and since then have
been a new man. The change in health
began in a. few days and surprised me.
and now, although 1 am seventy-two
years of age, 1 do lots of hard work
and for the past month have been
teaming, driving sixteen miles a day,
besides loading and unloading the
wagon. That's what Postum in the
place of coffee has done for me. now
like the Postum as well as did coffee.
ST have known people who did not
care for Postum at first. but after hav-l
ing learned to make it properly accord
ing to directions, they have come to like
it as well as coffee. / never miss a,

OLD-TIME METHOD OF WASHING
QUILTS,

In answer to several inquiries OF
late by readers of the Farmers Home
Journal will say, writes cores
pondent that this method has been
used in our family, and it certainly is
fine. A colored laundress gave us the
recipe she used, which is simply to
choose a dry day for the work, and
begin early in the morning so as to
give it time to dry before night. In
this day a washing machine and
wringer are indispensable unless one
is blessed with unusual strength. Heat
the water until quite hot, always US
ing rain water, and put enough pearl
inc into it to make good sIds, then
put it into the machine, next put the
quilt in, work the machine vigorously
for about ten minutes or more, then
put the quilt through the wringer, and
change the dirty suds for clean, and
wash again. Three rinse waters will
do. Then hang the quilt on the line
and fasten securely with pins, and
when dry it is ready for use, and will
be pure and clean and will serve yoI
for quite a while So many fastidious
persons would rather sleep under
quilt. / choose it for covering, in pref.
ence to others.

WATER FOR COOKING.

All cooks do not understand the dill
ferent effects produced by hard and
soft water in cooking meats and vege-
tables. Peas and beans cooked in
hard water containing lime or gyp-
sum will not boil tender because these
substances harden vegetable casein.
Many vegetables, as onions, boil near
ly tasteless in soft water, because all
the flavor is boiled out. The addition
of salt often checks this, as in the
case of onions, causing the vegetables
to retain the peculiar fiavoring princl-
pies, besides such nutritious matter
as might be lost in soft water. For
extracting the juice of meat to make
a broth or soup, soft water, unsalted
and cold at first, is the best, for 1t
much more readily penetrates the It's
sue, but for boiling, where the juices
should be retained, hard water or soft
water sailed, is preferable, and the
meat should be put in while the water
is boiling, so as to seal up the pores
at once.

CHANGE THE SHEETS.

To change the sheets of an invalid's
bed when the invalid is too i'll to be
moved is not always easy. Of course,
the upper sheet can be taken off in
the usual way. The chief difficulty lies
with the lower one. Begin to roll the
under sheet lengthwise over to where
the patient hes. Then put on the
near sheet, which should also be roll
ed or folded lengthwise. AS yoI u2roll
the new sheet tuck it in securely at all
sides. When the two rolls of sheeting
are side by side-next to the patient
lift the patient over on to the clean
side, if she cannot turn over without
aid. The old sheet is then removed
AID the new one spread out evenly as
it should be.

The weeks aggregate transactions show
the effect of the holiday and seasonable

is noted in comparison with the cores

Uncertainty regarding the crops caused
unusuel conservatism at the Northwest

came sufficiently encouraging to restore
confidence. In many jobbing lines there
is no prospect of vigorous activity until
Fall. but wholesale distributor is now
heavy and retail business is only retard-
ed at points where temporary weather
condition are adverse. Little idle ma
chinery is reported at manufacturing
plants, except in few cases OF labor
disputes, and several substantial in
creases in wages became effective OF

Aside from the strike of founders and
moulders the iron and s.eel industry is
in splendid condition.

On Tipping the Hat.

Cient custom of tipping their hats
when greeting a male friend or ac-
quaintance. 1t is a common sight to
staid, prosperous looking business
man as he passes an acquaintance tip
ping his hat, although the other is
alone, and unaccompanied by wom-
an. 1t is the same after a party has
been together somewhere, at dinner
probably, or at the theater. You will
notice that as one separates himself
from the others he will say good
hight, or au revoir, and then tip his
dat. Also, when one man is intro
duced to another, it is dollars to a
subway ticket that he will lift his
cAapeau. Wonder why it is? They

Yes, sir; here you are, sir. Never
mind the money, sir; you can give me
that at another time"
Why, how can you do business in
that way? You don't know me. How
do you know you'll ever get your
money!"
"Oh, 1 know you; see you every
day and have been waiting to get you
to buy paper"
We'll, I've bought one. What
now?"
Now I want you to buy one every

FOOD FOR KITTENS.

A woman who loves animals gives
the following advice in regard to the
care of young kittens. Do not leave
the bed of newborn kittens in the dark
too long else on coming into the light
they will be afflicted with sore eyes,
Dampness will also cause this trouble
The bed must not be a cold one. 1t is
better to give only warm food to the
kittens mother for the first two days.
Any water given her must have the
chill removed. Also give her plenty
of warm milk, and as the kittens IN
crease in size the amount of food Civ.
en- her should be increased.
